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.

Just because Insurrection lacked canon didn't mean it was a bad novel. Though it did seem a little too fast at some parts. If only your exams had that same speed :/

He definitely is...

Ha, yeah... I knew that they probably would make another though... Who's going to pass up a chance to make all that money right? I think it's coming out in December... Oh, and do you know for sure that Johnson is/was a spartan 1? I don't remember seeing that anywhere... Or did you make that up?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] stupid0g Yeah... That was a bit off cannon in some parts... It was still really good though![/quote] When I wrote it everything fit with the canon. It was back when we all believed [i]Halo 3[/i] was the last main game, and that a [i]Halo 4[/i] wasn't so likely. Back before 343i was established. The last chronological event in the universe was the Master Chief heading towards the planet in the legendary ending. Anything was possible. Except Johnson coming back from the dead. That was just mental. But awesome.
-
Sorran Savara reunion? I think she might be a little pissed.
-
Yeah... That was a bit off cannon in some parts... It was still really good though! Anyways, yay converging! That's always fun!
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog I want this to stay relevant even after [i]Halo 4[/i] comes out and beyond, unlike [i]Insurrection[/i] was is kind of... well, I don't really need to say. [/quote] I never thought about that.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] stupid0g Hey, Wolverfrog, whats the outline for this next chapter?[/quote] I don't want to say too much, although you can expect some major convergence. You might want to read Greg Bear's [i]Forerunner Saga[/i] though; I'm doing my best to bring this more into line with current canon, because right now it's very much a product of the 2009 which bore it and the times they are a changin'. I want this to stay relevant even after [i]Halo 4[/i] comes out and beyond, unlike [i]Insurrection[/i] was is kind of... well, I don't really need to say. [Edited on 05.08.2012 9:02 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AssaultCommand I check this thread every single day. :/[/quote] Well stop, your just getting yourself depressed, go on to FF.net and look at "The Life" by casquis... Its a pretty good and long story... He updates at least once a week. It's about an ODST doing stuff... And stuff... Anyways, I check this around once a week... Hey, Wolverfrog, whats the outline for this next chapter?

I check this thread every single day. :/

Between the 14th and the 30th, I've got my AS-level exams and they're pretty important, so I'm (trying to) focus on revision for those right now. I know it always seems like I've got some exam or other, but that's usually because I do. It sucks. Still, I'm cracking slowly on with this and even when I'm not I'm mentally drafting ideas and [url=http://i46.tinypic.com/2zt8ye9.jpg]I sometimes even get them written down[/url]. Just keep checking in every once in a while, it'll be up eventually. It always is.
-
Still alive?
-
How's it going, Wolverfrog? Getting close?
-
I am sure I would speak for all of your fans when I say we greatly appreciate your hard work. But we just want you to work a (little) harder >:P
-
Can't wait for he next part! By the way, great work Wolverfrog. People like you make this community great.

It's been a while... How's it going everybody? How is the chapter coming along? How much more time do you think it's going to take? ~The Awesome One~ [Edited on 04.28.2012 9:47 PM PDT]
