Halo: Vita de Militis

by Gharst Omenlumin

Death comes for us all. The challenge is to keep yourself out of its sights. He had risen through the ranks of the Covenant, all the way to become a Zealot, the 'Raptor' of Sang'Katarn. But when the war ends, and he is betrayed and killed by his former superior, what will the Galaxy have in store for him? These are the Logs of T'kan Ghan, And his change from a hero... to a monster.

1. Chapter 1

Vita de Militis: Logs of T'kan 'Raptor' Ghan, Zealot of Sang'Katarn

Log 1: How?

---

Through my years of service to both entities, many have asked me:

How?

I simply reply: efficiency, ruthlessness and dedication.

When you have millions of soldiers look up to you, as their Icon, their hero, you can't put anything else as a priority.

They must be led.

They must be inspired.

And you are the tool.

---

They think we are invincible. They think that us supersoldiers are ruthless killing machines.

They would be right.

But we are not immortal.

We bleed.

We bruise, just like them.

And we die, just the same.

---

But very few know

and even fewer ask

that my life began

the day I died.

---

We are the betrayed.

We are the forgotten.

What's this? Two chapter entries, and one entirely new story, both on the same day? And the new story isn't titled as I had claimed? Has the world gone mad?

No worries, lads. I'm keeping true to my promise. But consider these logs... gifts, to keep you warm until the main event. Previews of what is to come. As more and more logs (from now on one new entry at the end of each of my other related stories) are unlocked, the more and more you'll learn about what I have in mind.

Until next time.
