Author Note: So, my writing chops need some work, so I'm doing flash fiction. Here I'm exploring what happened to all the PC origins that the player DIDN'T choose. Through the story you come to see that they DO exist, whether Duncan recruits them or not. So, here we go.

Sereda wondered if it was against the rules to die in the Deep Roads with decent shoes on. While there were no shortage of corpses, she had yet to find something that would actually protect her feet.

And so she approached the Legion of the Dead barefoot and covered in blood. Their ranks opened up before her, either because of her former rank the mad look in her eyes, she really wasn't too picky.

Their leader crossed his arms over his barrel chest and awaited her arrival.

Sereda did not kneel, or bow. She cleaned her blade with a mostly clean rag and sheathed it in the battered, borrowed scabbard on her back. She matched his posture.

"I wish to fight with you."

He raised an eyebrow. "You wish to join the Legion, your highness?" So he did know who she was.

She shook her head, eyes downcast for only a moment. "I cannot, Legionnaire Kardol . Should the opportunity arrise to unseat my traitorous, murdering brother, I must take it. But I cannot survive down here alone, and I must survive, if only to put a knife in his conniving heart."

At that, the leader looked almost amused.

But he accepted her offer. He even found her a pair of boots.
