From Shattered Twilight

..unto a perfect and unified dawn.

Morgott knew the cost that was demanded of him when he became the King of Leyndell. He knew what would eventually come when the first of the Tarnished began to vie for the title of Elden Lord. Death was a consequence that he had been made well aware of in the Shunning-Grounds, and so the threat of falling to one of his kin during the wars of the Shattering did not bother him overmuch. He was determined to fight for the defense of the Erdtree, and for the scattered few in Leyndell that yet believed in the strength of their grace-given king.

But when a certain tarnished warrior shatters his legs to force him into an unwilling allyship, a reconsidering of such a fate was soon to be inevitable. Doubly so when the warrior herself was just as sick of the battle to become Elden Lord as he was of murdering her.

A crown is often warranted by strength. True peace, however, demands bloodshed.

Decided to go ahead and post the first chapter of my Tarnished/Morgott fic so that I could get it out of my bloodstream before my finals, lmao. Ft my tarnished, Leysha, who I specifically created to beat some sense into Morgott
