Prompt: 3. Shadows
Disclaimer: Halo is Bungies.
Takes Place: Anytime during Halo2.
Shadows can be so many things. Memories, echoes of the past, or the darkness cast when a light shines on something.
Johns shadow is Cortana.
She's in his memories, the only one still alive that knows his past, and is his light that makes the shadow.
But she's more than that as well.
She's his partner, his protector, his everything.
So much more than just a shadow.
