Discovery – Age III
At the rise of the tenth sun, the great kings emerged from the depths of the mountain.
The great kings emerged abreast of each other.
Both races witnessed this, but could not suppress their hate for their enemies.
None understood this, and none could quell their rage.
The great kings separated and went to their citizens.
The subjects of the kingdoms eyed their kings with disbelief, and apprehension.
Though nearly shamed in the eyes of their subjects, the kings were opposed by none.
They called order to their people, and began to explain with fanatical energy.
They spoke of an artifact, deep in the canyons, that had been blessed by the true gods.
This artifact defied the force of gravity, and enabled those who believed to fly.
A ray of violet energy emitted from the object, and shone into a dark cave.
The cave was full of wonders.
The gods had told them to be enemies no more, to live in peace, and to govern over all.
All nonbelievers must be destroyed.
Many protested to this new arrangement of friends and beliefs
Many were killed on the spot.
The two kings led those left alive to the cave.
Its deepest recesses were illuminated by a strange, heavenly radiance.
What lay scattered across the floor was strange and wonderful to the new fellowship.
All thoughts of hatred were consumed by their awe.
The gods watched this from above, and smiled.
Their creations had made peace, as it was meant to be.
The gods then gave Sangheili a task.
He was to unite the races under one banner, a covenant of brothers.
This covenant would sweep through the stars, rallying all ignorance to their faith.
And crushing all who would dare pose heresy.
