   Summary

   Halt and Crowley have been best friends pretty much since the day they met. But what happens when Crowley gets murdered? And what happens when King Duncan gets the blame put on him? Halt commits an even bigger act of treason than he did when Will was taken, and now he has to go on the run in order to not get arrested, and leaves his old life behind. Every chapter apart from the first one is based on a lyric from Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen. If you haven't listened to it, then what are you doing with your life? Where have you been? It's a great song, go listen to it, and then listen to it again another ten times. And if you have listened to it, then listen to it again, and then check out some other Queen songs, like The Show Must Go On, or Scandal, those are great.
