Declination
What if Halt joined Morgarath instead of the Rangers? A small AU based off of this prompt/story idea from @nilswolf8.
“I could use a man like you in my ranks.” Morgarath said, finally getting to the point behind the clandestine nighttime meeting he had summoned Halt to.
“I can’t say I care much for the idea of being used.” Halt replied, truth cutting through the sarcastic way he had phrased it.
“Merely an expression,” Morgarath assured with a wave of his hand. “Regardless, I would value someone with talents like yours. And there’s much that I could offer you in return for your services.”
And, now that the offer was out in the open, Halt allowed himself to consider it.
