#the boss told us he was going to take a quick trip to Leyndell for some private reason and he never came back

Please don't hesitate to share all your angsty ideas about forgotten Morgott lore, in fact is there any other way to prove your love of a fictionnal character than to shove them through intense amount of emotionnal pain?

Oh boy anon, you shouldn't prompt me like this 👀💦 (ok this got loooooong so I’m putting a cut here to avoid the wall of text on your dashboards, musings about the feral!Morgott AU under heeeere)

I like to imagine that in this version of the story Morgott refused to leave their prison even when they had the chance to do so, too blinded by his faith in the Tree and his self-hatred to even consider the idea. He was so sure one day he'd be properly freed if only he kept believing, and the bros had a really ugly fight about it, with an infuriated Mohg ending up leaving the sewers right after said fight, and telling himself he didn't care if he left Morgott alone, whatever, the idiot made his own bed and now he got to lie in it. (spoilers: he cares. Immensely.) Cue time passing, with Morgott just waiting and waiting and waiting, and his sanity slipping away piece by piece with each long year of solitude going by. He told himself he was fine with being alone; after all he'd already been alone for a time, by the point the two of them fought, what with Mohg getting increasingly more preoccupied with his new master to spend much time with his twin. But even if the distance had been increasing between them, Mohg had been there, and Morgott couldn't have possibly expected just how truly alone he'd be once Mohg left, and how the complete solitude slowly but surely eroded his sanity and grasp on reality. Meanwhile Mohg is out there exploring the world, meeting people, getting grandiose ideas in his mind and then proceeding to start recruiting subjects and allies to see said ideas become reality. But even with how busy he is he still keeps an ear on the ground, so to speak, to possibly grasp any news about his brother. He is convinced Morgott would sooner rather than later have also left the sewers, so surely it’d only be a matter of time before Mohg would hear rumors about a peculiar Omen such as his twin, right? But rumors do not come. Time passes, things change, and Mohg is yet to catch a glimpse of Morgott, hear anything at all about his whereabouts, and he starts to get worried. He decides a visit to the wretched place is in order, just to ensure himself Morgott is not still down there, rotting away... (he couldn’t possibly be, right? Right?) But well, we all know what’s going to happen. I think in this version of the story Mohg’s grandiose vision of a land ruled by his glorious dynasty never quite managed to take off, because the moment he finally stumbles into Morgott, at this point reduced to a shell of his former self only moved by basic survival instincts, he’d probably experience a grief and a guilt so strong it’d all but immediately destroy any of the almost child-like dreams of powers and authority that Mohg harbored up to that point. He’d probably lose any passion for those lofty goals that now feel like a pale, distant dream that he once dreamt in what was a different life, by a different him. Seeing what Morgott has become, and knowing it is his fault that his beloved brother is now but a shadow of who he once was, it’s a heavy weight he now has to carry, all the while trying to remedy to what he’s done in any way he can, trying to care for Morgott the way he should’ve done before his twin was lost to solitude and madness...

(It’s not his fault any more than Morgott’s own. They were both too stubborn and stupid to get through to each other, and this is the result. Doesn’t mean Mohg wouldn’t completely, blindly blame himself for it all, and let himself get eaten by guilt, all dreams abandoned... Perhaps in this version of the story he never quite got to the point of kidnapping Miquella, which would definitely hold some interesting ramifications for the future of the Lands Between lfdjfsj) But is Morgott entirely lost? -Perhaps part of him still exist. Dregs of who he once was, still hanging on somewhere in his mind, enough to make him somewhat recognize Mohg... Who knows, he might not be completely hopeless, yet :^) And our tarnished better keep out of the sewers and leave him alone, if we want to let him have at least a little chance of regaining his sense of self. Oh no, can you imagine how this would play out in-game? We’d probably fight Mohg first, and he’d be desperate to keep anybody out of the sewers and away from his brother. He’d die in anguish by our hands, knowing he failed and it’s only a matter of time before we also kill Morgott. Oh, man, I am making myself sad now lsfdlkjfsdlj. I never modded anything in my life but I’m almost tempted to try and dip my toe in the wonderful world of game mods to see if I can do this storyline myself lmaoooo (it’s not gonna happen, let’s be realistic, that’d be an inordinate amount of work for anyone experienced, let alone a scrub noob like me sigh) So yes, anon, here we are, bathing our fav Omen twins in as much emotional pain as possible. It’s what we do best, and what we love doing uheuheuyhueheuh
