      England

      Sherwood Forest

      Night

      Earlier

      A foot soldier, separated from his patrol, has lost track of his whereabouts. The sun has set. The forest has lost its magic and the song of bird and become sullen and foreboding.

      He has his sword and short sword in hand, prepared for what might be on him at any given moment.

      He knew he was going to die.

      The forest smelled of death.

      The last time he had smelled that his best friend had died before his very eyes. Something had reached down from the thick clustered leaves above with thick claws and spiky hair and stabbed through his chest. The man had screamed horribly as he was pulled out of sight, the sound of his death terrifying.

      He had sworn he would never tread Sherwood Forest at night again.

      That was before poverty forced him into service to the Sheriff of Nottingham. A plight that he promised he would leave as soon as he had enough for his wife and children. It hadn’t happened. And now he was threading through the dark woods, sure that death stalked him.

      He couldn’t put a finger on why. He just knew it was out there.

      Ahead, he saw a glow of light.

      He sighed with relief.

      Where there was light; there was no dark.

      He rushed to reach the safety of the light.

      That was a mistake.

      Something grabbed him from behind and twisted him about.

      He came face to face with a creature from hell. It eyes were as large as his head, but its teeth. They were as large as his hands.

      He managed to thrust his short sword into the right eye, but before he could pluck it out, he was jerked forward and the huge creature engulfed his head with its jaws and crushed the life from him.

      Chapter One

      The ancient Forest of Sherwood sprawls like a mythological beast, clutching at the lands for leagues in all four directions of the compass. Its trees are flung thickly about, some clasping great boulders in the clutches of their roots, others thrusting mighty crowns high into the clouds above, flaunting their earth beauty against the majesty of the setting sun.

      There are rumors of strange creatures ranging throughout the darker depths, but are dismissed as merely rumors and nothing more by the privileged classes. But soldiers and the common man who travel them, they know better.

      Sherwood is haunted. As is much of England these days. Things are loose on the land and in the skies
