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.

It should be finished soon, I'm just sorting the pacing out.

Really like this story. Just finished reading Insurrection.. Very nice.

WOW this story is [b][i][u] AWESOME! [/u][/i][/b] Only just started reading about a week ago and got hooked from the title. Can't wait for the next chapters! I hope we get to see Sorran and Savara to actually get back together. And Sorran meeting back up with Zharn and Ahkrin Once again- this story is [b][i][u] AWESOME! [/u][/i][/b] This part is one of my favourite quotes; "You," was all he could bring himself to say, throwing as much animosity into his sore voice as possible. "Me," Ahkrin agreed, taking a seat next to him. "I brought you flowers." Also, glad to be able to post while its being written. I'm afraid you have another [b] FAN [/b] on your hands. :-D p.s. I hate exams :-D :-D [Edited on 05.12.2011 7:44 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog Good news is after I've finished my GCSEs I have no school-work to do at all until September. [/quote] You brits have a summer break too? Good to hear. Good luck on your exams. I have work of my own to do- school and coding a website (by hand), so I can somewhat understand your situation. Thanks for writing this, I haven't had any good fiction to chew on for nearly a year.

>:O NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] sh228 Can't wait for the next part.[/quote] I'm afraid you might have to. From now until the middle of June I'm doing my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams, and I'm very busy revising and preparing for them. They're incredibly important and I won't have much time to write. Maybe I'll be able to write a chapter when I have a bit of time between exams, but don't hold me to that. Good news is after I've finished my GCSEs I have no school-work to do at all until September. But for now the wait may be a sizable one. Thanks for reading and being patient.

Just caught up with the story, pure awesome. I LOVE the way you're writing this from the Covie's point of view, you manage to put just enough humanity into it that I can relate with their thinking, but it's still easy to tell that they're aliens. This hooked me faster than Insurrection. I'm looking forward to the rest of this story. Also, I've got a hunch Sorran and Ahkrin will run into each other again, somehow. Actually, I have a pretty specific idea of how they'll meet, but I don't want to risk accidentally spoiling the story. Well anyway, you've got yourself another reader. I might not comment, but I'll definitely be reading. Can't wait for the next part. [Edited on 04.24.2011 8:12 AM PDT]

I have shared your story with my sangheili brethren within the Legion of Righteous Martyrs. So far they have all enjoyed your stories of the war and wish you luck with your future writings.
