Halo Legends Page #2

were now aimed, not at yourselves,

but against a deadly opponent,

in pursuit of a shared goal;

the very survival of your species.

Then, as if awakened by the

arrival of the Covenant,

a darker, far more ancient threat

emerged from its slumber.

Oarkness born in eons past, became

a threat to all life once again.

And humankind and the Covenant, who had

drowned for so long in each other's blood,

were united, if only for the briefest moment,

against a terrible enemy they both shared.

Righteous soulscontinued to fight,

believing that they could defeat the darkness.

And asthey fought together,

they stumbled together, into peace.

This galaxy is vast.

ltswonders and beauty are almost unfathomable.

But the galaxy also hides dark secrets.

Some of which have lain dormant

since the beginning of time itself.

There is a danger in secrets.

Both in seeking and in knowing.

Some things are meant to be hidden from view.

You see, some mysteries defy understanding.

And sometimes even the things

we think we know are untrue.

Some secrets should remain untouched.

Secretscan tempt your primal instinct,

and lead you again into war.

The Haloswere one such secret.

Chief, can you hear me?

l wonder why humans must continue to fight.

l wonder if warriorswill ever

disappear from thisworld.

Never.

Therewill always bewarriors.

And therewill always bewar.

English - SOH

You know this is a trap. Oo you not?

Coming wasfoolish.

HlERARCH:

Your words of dissent are troubling to us.

[GRUNTlNG]

We ask so little in return for the giftswe offer.

Tell me, Arbiter.

lsfaith too much to ask in exchange?

Haka haschosen the path of the GreatJourney.

Why must you resist?

TheJourney will take usfarther than this simple Covenant.

lt will deliver usto godhood.

[GROWLS]

[GROANlNG]

There is only one path for you.

Why must you deny theJourney that we all must take.

TheJourney is a lie!

[SlGHS]

Humph. ls it now?

HAN:

You're dreaming, my love.

What?

Forgive me, Han. l am distracted.

Can you not simply serve?

Perhaps, but only when you know

who you are actually serving.

Now l'm not so sure.

You? Uncertain?

[GlGGLES]

Han, you should leave. Just for a littlewhile.

l'll never leave you, l'm your wife.

And you are the General. My place is at your side.

You are stubborn to a fault.

l could say the same of you.

[GlGGLES]

[GRUNTS]

ARBlTER:

Useless!

Focus.

We are fighting Elite, the right arm of the Covenant.

The gifts of the Forerunners are nothing

if you don't master the skillsto wield them.

Master them you will.

For we are the men of Sanghelios.

Never forget that honor.

ALL:

Sir, yes sir!

ROH:

Walk with me a moment, Arbiter.
