SCHOLAR, SOLDIER, HERETIC... SAVIOUR.
At first, the life of a warrior in the Covenant army seems a noble one. But are the motives behind the war with the humans as innocent as the Sangheili, Sorran, believes? An act of heresy unveils a conspiracy spanning thousands of years, which could bring about the total ruin of the Covenant.

**** ***** ***** ****** *****
[b]Prologue[/b]
[i]Edict of the Most High Prophet of Truth, 9th Age of Reclamation.[/i]
By the authority of the noble Prophets of Truth, Regret, and Mercy.
Henceforth, any and all battle worthy Sangheili are to be transferred from any idle posts in High Charity and/or upon any Covenant held world/ship into the active combat. Those amongst the excused are the Honour Guard, the Councillors, and the mentally ill, physically unfit, and the old. Female Sangheili are, as always, prohibited from taking part in any military action.
Any Sangheili engaged in a guard post, other than the Honour Guard, will be replaced by the Jiralhanae until such a time as the High Council deems otherwise. Any Jiralhanae in question of where they now stand shall direct all enquiries to Tartarus, Chieftain of the Jirahanae.
Failure to adhere to this edict will result in death. No exceptions. These are trying times, my brothers. The Human infidels persist in resisting the might of the Covenant. Rest assured, this 'war' as some are calling it, will be over soon -- to be forgotten and dismissed as an insignificant event in Covenant history.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ringtail11 That last chapter was great Wolvers. However "Death swung his scythe, and the funeral bells rang." sounds a bit weak for the ending of the chapter. How could a funeral bell ring, a funeral implies that it was a planned event. Perhaps something like: The air of life was seared, and the cold death knell tolled. or Death r@ped his sacred crop, leaving the rest to the brewing storm. [/quote] Whilst what Wolvers wrote was no literary [i]magnum opus[/i], what you just suggested in its place sounds [i]abysmal[/i]... [Edited on 10.25.2011 1:15 PM PDT]

thanks ive been reading for about a hour great story =)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] pmatq do you have a link to your other works? [/quote] Links are in the first post of this.

do you have a link to your other works?

these are great =)

No, those are awful suggestions and you should feel bad for suggesting them. Mine works fine; it's metaphoric and foreshadowing the events of the next chapter. A funeral bell didn't literally ring, for God's sake. :/ Don't tell me how to write my own story.

How could a funeral bell ring, a funeral implies that it was a planned event. Perhaps something like: The air of life was seared, and the cold death knell tolled. or Death reaped his sacred crop, leaving the rest to the brewing storm.

Words cannot describe the sheer epicness of the last chapter.

Good? scratch that, AWESOME work!

You are really starting to write like a pro now, keep up the good work!

That was another brilliant chapter. I can't wait the next! [Edited on 10.18.2011 11:56 PM PDT]

I want to know who lives and dies. And is Savara pregnant?!
-
I can't tell you how much I LOVE your stories! KEEP UP THE WORK, IT'S AMAZING!
-
Man. An amazing story wolverz.
-
This is awesome but i have only read the first chapter though but i will read the other ones soon. Keep it up! :D
-
What's Sorran going to do?! And what is going to happen to Savara when Pel doesn't come back?
-
This was certainly a dark chapter... perhaps you decided to take Assault's advice after all? :) Seriously, though, this was great. Certainly not anything that I'm used to reading. As you said, perhaps it's part of your evolution as a writer. In that case, I can't wait to see what the rest of this novel will be like.
-
Another great chapter! I might have said this before, but I'm out of superlatives! (If I've said that before, that just proves how awesome this is.)
-
Nice story not what i expected. Dont know how long this will go.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] risay_117 Just asking can you make a new pdf file for memmoirs of an odst Thanks[/quote]That's the only one not made by me :) Anyway, wolvers, this came at the worst possible time. I have an assignment to finish in one and a half hours and I've lost all my concentration again.
