[Novel] True Sangheili (Part 39 available!) ~ 18 December
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.

My hat goes off to you Mr Maher. I have learnt so much off you and your skill has definitely assisted my story. I hope to ascertain as good a novel as yours. You are a brilliant writer

Duly noted. Note discarded. -Stamps forehead- 'ANTI-TROLLED' At any rate. When is the next Chapter going to be out? My patience is gnawing at the back of my mind... -reads other posts- OOOO we're all telling our ages? I'm 15 and act as such. Might as well continue working on one of my FFs that suck.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Illusive66 I had to log on to post this. I have not been here all that long, and I do not post that often. But, I have been lurking for a long while. YOU MADE ME POST THIS What the hell is with this? Are you trying to bore me with two dimensional characters, a story which has obviously been made up as it went along and twists so obvious a bat could see them? Your vocabulary is limited and your intelligence is in question. I read this story out of fascination that a story could actually gather a damned fanbase when other fan fics get no readers at all, its just unfair and retarded. Also, I can't help but notice how overly human you make the elites, they're not tea-drinking, chocolate eating brits, they are aliens and they should be portrayed as such. You've somehow managed to make half of your fanbase -blam!-ly attracted to aliens, you are a furry machine and I seriously think you might be attracted to fricking elites too. Anyway, had to get that off my chest. [/quote] I think you need to realise that this has been written over a period of about two years. I wasn't a good writer two years ago, and I'm still learning even now. Two dimensional characters? They were originally, yes. I have tried to flesh them out more recently and I do not think I have done a bad job. As for the twists I do not think they were so obvious; did you really think Restraint would reveal to Sorran that the Great Journey is a lie, or that Zharn would win his duel with Xatan'ee not by chance or skill but through cheating, or that Ahkrin would be the one tasked with killing Restraint? I'm not saying this is the sixth sense of anything, but they're not horrible twists. My vocabulary is stronger than that of most, and I have an A* English Language GCSE grade to back that up. I do not use the full extent of my writing skill with this story though; were I to do so I'd be writing it forever -- I just write on the fly and proof-read lightly maybe once. As for my intelligence, well, I hardly see how that is in question at all. This story has sort of been made up as it went along. Certainly when I set out I had no idea what I was going to do with it and it does show; remember this was two years ago and the writing quality was awful. After the small twist in part fifteen though, I did etch out a rough plan; of course I deviate from it from time to time, but I do believe that book two has flowed rather well. Do I attribute the Sangheili with human traits from time to time? Definitely. It's something I picked up from [i]Babylon 5[/i]; I found it very interesting when the aliens would be introduced to some human cultural element. I would argue the only one attracted to the Sangheili in this thread is Nums and he's been that way a long time. Indeed, the only actual scenes between aliens involving sex I've written have been tiny little segments at most which do not elaborate. I myself am not a furry at all, I assure you, and I do not find the prospect of a fictional alien with mandibles attractive in the slightest. If others do, then that is their business. I'm just trying to tell a story here. And that brings me to my final point. You seem to be insulted that people read this. They obviously do for a reason, a reason outside my control. I just write this because it's something to do. As I said, I started this years ago. I look back and cringe at what I wrote. Most would simply abandon a story like this and start something new. I'm finishing it, which is more than can be said for most fan fiction writers. At the end of the day, I've just turned sixteen years old and I'm writing a fan fiction as something do when I've got the time. I don't spend all my life writing this; I've got a job, studies, friends -- this is something to come back to and maybe spend an hour or two writing a chapter when it's a cold night or a rainy day. If you've got issue with it, then by all means do not read it. I'm secure in the knowledge there are a bunch of people who read and enjoy this, and to me that's an indicator of me being at least somewhat decent at writing. As you said, few other fan fictions have a fanbase like this. There's probably a reason for that. [Edited on 08.05.2011 9:00 AM PDT]

I could deconstruct and counter your every point, but seeing as how Fin already did that, it's sort of pointless. I just want you to know that next time you post something stupid like you just did, [url=http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B4iUh3dauqsjN2QzMjBjYzQtZGE2Ny00ZDUzLThlZTQtNDIwMDJjYTBjNTk3&hl=en]actually read the story first.[/url] And yes, maybe he made some mistakes at the beginning of this whole story, but in all due respect, that was 3 years ago. He does learn from his mistakes, and the best way to notice your mistakes is having lots of people read his story and pointing them out. What you did was you extrapolated on just the first chapter(s), which made you conclude that all must be bad and that this thing isn't worth reading at all. You are wrong. It gets better.

YOU MADE ME POST THIS[/quote] You should lurk more and post less. It would be better for all involved. [quote]What the hell is with this? Are you trying to bore me with two dimensional characters, a story which has obviously been made up as it went along and twists so obvious a bat could see them? Your vocabulary is limited and your intelligence is in question.[/quote] 1: The characterisation is good, each character has a distinct personality, and different motivations. 2: Most stories are adjusted as they are written. 3: Bats actually have excellent night vision. 4: The story is well written (very well written as far as fanfiction is concerned) and the authour's use of vocabulary does not appear to be particularly limited.... 5: I don't think you have the right to question anyone's intelligence. [quote]I read this story out of fascination that a story could actually gather a damned fanbase when other fan fics get no readers at all, its just unfair and retarded.[/quote] Aaaaahhhh, I see! You wrote a rubbish fanfic and everyone ignored it, and now you are bitter, got ya... [quote]Also, I can't help but notice how overly human you make the elites, they're not tea-drinking, chocolate eating brits, they are aliens and they should be portrayed as such. [/quote] They are portrayed in the same way they are portrayed in canon. Sangheili society is similar to Human society in many respects. Plus everyone knows real men drink tea. Even if they are aliens. [quote]You've somehow managed to make half of your fanbase -blam!-ly attracted to aliens, you are a furry machine and I seriously think you might be attracted to fricking elites too.[/quote] This would be the classic case of projection, hmm? Well, I'm not going to judge you, others might. [quote]Anyway, had to get that off my chest. [/quote] Your opinion has been noted, filed, and discarded, have a nice day. On a different note: Really enjoying the story Wolver, looking forward to the next part, good job! [Edited on 08.04.2011 6:08 PM PDT]

I don't know why, but because of the Spartan's facial injuries, his location being on Eriandus II and the fact that Emile has a face thing scratched onto his visor, I keep thinking the spartan is Emile, but hes most probably not :P
-
Now that was an unexpected complication. Brilliant work.
-
The next chapter is going to be suspenseful, but when is Sorran due back to High Charity?
-
Wolver.. I'll be mad if he kills Restraint without knowing Sorran is alive or the truth. You are an absolute brilliant writer.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog I'm a little worried [i]Glasslands[/i] may contradict this quite a bit after listening to a podcast on it; it seems like it may focus somewhat upon Sangheili culture. Ah well, nothing stays eternal. I've realised I really need to brush up on my Halo knowledge; I've taken it upon myself to read through the books and play through the games again. The next chapter shouldn't be too long, it's about half-done right now. [/quote] Meh, at least this story is awesome. Probably more so than grasslands will. Besides, Halo 4's existence sort of kills insurrection.
-
No, just saying I'm not moving all this just because 343i are making the games now.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog And Bungie leaving Halo doesn't really matter. To me Bungie will always be the true place for Halo; 343i will do a great job but at the end of the day they are just picking up Bungie's series.[/quote] Sounds pretty arrogant there, Connor. Pretty much, "343 can do Halo good, but only Bungie can do it right because 343 are only picking up the series". [i]u dumd?[/i]
-
HXC? And Bungie leaving Halo doesn't really matter. To me Bungie will always be the true place for Halo; 343i will do a great job but at the end of the day they are just picking up Bungie's series.
-
Five bucks says Sorran and Ahkrin fight without realizing who the other is. Also, have you considered moving your stories to HXC? With Bungie leaving Halo and all.
