HALO REACH: In A Nutshell

By: Karde

I won't let my world be destroyed by this most fearsome monster.

I have my team assembled.

I won't fight alone. (None of the lone wolf stuff)

I admit I cannot kill it alone. (Will it always be there?)

The fear won't consume me.

A Covenant that I cannot forget.

Their destruction looms in the distance, in the air, and on the ground

One fate to befall us all

I won't go down without a fight.

Remember me.

Emile, Jun, Jorge, Carter, Cat.

I'm sorry if I let you down.

I won't make it.

Humanity will for all of our sacrifices.

I wish I had known everything.

I would have spent our time longer

Maybe we can meet again

In a better life than this continuous inferno

No more violence, bloodshed, or conflict

Now I can only relive our memories together

As my helmet lays cracked by my hand

The dust fills the air as I collapse

A silhouette outlined, I cry out, "Noble Team?"

My life escapes as I feel death overtake me.
