The Black Sheriff

[Circa 12th century]

"Give it to me", the Sheriff snarled viciously - his eyes flamed, his hand outstretched.

Robin's men took a step backwards; they always moved together as though they shared in the one thought. They stood tall, appearing defiant.

Robin scanned his features. He did not clearly understand the fearsomeness of this single man's presence.

He, the Black Sheriff, had put to death entire families, taking their lands and livestock, without drawing sword or breath himself. He was known as the Lord of Debt and Death; one who held even the King most fearfully terrorised.

Mortal or Fey? He seemed to be neither. Robin was now feeling the pressure of his will and persistence – and he was tiring of this tedious complaining.
