Prologue

POV: Stellar Born

"Is it done?" Stellar Born asked.

"It is done." said the Builder, they looked at one of the three moons.

"We shall return to our universe."

"And await the firing of the rings." The Forerunner ship moved through the small wormhole that they made. No Forerunners present or future would ever make this again.

POV: Mas'Tem

Seventh Cycle

Solar System: Unknown

Location: Swords of the Faithful Fleet, Ship Reclamation

As the Covenant fleet exited the wormhole, they passed over the ancient moons and saw something of great interest. The Supreme Commander Mas'Tem was sent here to search for relics of great importance for the war with Humanity.

"With the location of this ancient relic, we shall speed up our Holy Great Journey," Mas'Tem said to his crew "prepare a squad to extract the relic, the Hierarchs grow will impatient."

"Yes, Supreme Commander." said the crew. As they passed one of the moons, it felt odd and strange as if it was unnatural.
