[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.

[i]Next chapter ETA: Valve Time[/i]
**** ***** ***** ****** *****
[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.

Thanks for your kind words. I've never been too keen on the co-writing thing even when I had the time to do such a thing, but appreciate the offer. With [i]True Sangheili,[/i] I had to make up my own content more than I did with any other fan fiction before it - prior to the K5 trilogy, there was almost no detail on Covenant society and so most of it in this has been invented by me. I take inspiration from elsewhere all the time. Ahkrin, for example, was at first almost a carbon copy of the character Silk from David Edding's [i]Belgariad,[/i] or at least my attempt to emulate him. After a few chapters I decided to move away from that and gave him his own development (as I did with all the other characters.) These days as a writer, I tend not to be influenced directly by what I read, watch or listen to. Rather, I think about how something has affected me on an emotional or intellectual level etc, and then try to work similar traits into this if it fits the story arc. So yeah, most of this is, as you say, farmed from my own mind - aside from the general plot which is of course inspired by [i]Halo.[/i]
