Heroes

Lance Mannion's son has just noticed something important about Robin Hood—and all heroes.
He asked me to tell it.

Here's more or less what I said.

Yes, the heroes die, but there is always someone left to tell the story. Athos and Porthos and D'Artagnan die. But Aramis lives on past the end of the book. And Bedevere is there watching when the three queens take Arthur away to Avalon. And Little John comes to find Robin and is there for the most important part.

It seems Mr Mannion is raising his son right.

And if you don't know the story of Robin's Last Arrow, than for God's sake click through; you need it.
