DISCLAIMER: I do not own Halo, nor do I own any of the content produced by Bungie, Microsoft, or 343 Industries.
Greetings, and welcome to my first fanfiction. I still consider myself relatively new to FanFiction, and I have decided that my first literary work will be one of Halo origin. I am open to all criticism, as I will use it to improve my work.
So, enjoy.
Prologue
The petite city-state of Nradom, within the Sangheili home-planet Sanghelios, had been influenced by the Covenant since its inception. Thousands of years prior. It was a state based on military practice, it was a state from which many of the Covenant's warriors were procured. One of whom was a well-known, former residence of Nradom, a warrior by the name of Rikan 'Nradomee.
Rikan 'Nradomee attended Nradom's highly esteemed military academy, one of the most prestigious academies on Sanghelios. It was an academy from which some of the Covenant's finest warriors ascended. Rikan's father, Khozo 'Nradom, was the kaidon of Nradom. He resided within Nradom's keep, in which Rikan's mother, Xaio 'Nradom, awaited his arrival into the world, years ago. (Yes, Sangheili females bore eggs.) And when Rikan did arrive, and his eyes locked with his mother's and father's for the first time, his parents saw something. They saw a bright and brilliant future for their creation.
And rightly they saw, for Rikan would eventually become an Honor Guard. Protector of the Hierarchs, and enforcer of honor and everything the Hierarchs should desire. But, before that tale can be told, Rikan's campaign of ascendance must first be shared.
