Star of the Elites

Megan sat in her and Acaadna's chambers, her specially made armor laying in pieces beside her as she carefully polished it o a perfect sheen. She had understood soon after attaining her own armor why her new "father" always shined his armor when appearing in front of superiors.

Her armor was silver with black metal decorations on it. She had some on every part of her but her chest, and for,...erm...interesting reasons as Acaadna said.

She always wore clothes like the ones she had first worn to see the prophets years ago, only now she owned many different colors and they were all a few sizes bigger. Now she was wearing one of a soft solid black.

She had cut her once long hair so it was chin length and fanned out when she tied it back, which she always did. She also had to dye it black, so it wouldn't draw attention to her in battle.

Yappity ran in quickly followed by the Elite who she had sat with the first time she now knew was named Shasic (Pronounced: Sha-Shik).

Yappity was wearing his original black armor, though it was polished from its old dents. "Star! Nice to see you!"

Shasic was wearing red armor ornamented with orange as he walked in, his armor polished as well. "Yes Star, nice to see you at least awake."

Star smiled before saying as she turned her back to them so they could see she had dyed some of the inside of the fanned out hair red, (She talks in the different Covenant languages now but mainly Elite) "Look good?"

"Of course!" Yappity sad and she smiled before saying "Will you guys help me put this on?" She gestured to her armor, "I don't want to be late and I have to make sure it fits right before I go off and have fun with you guys and the others."

By the others she meant her other friend, an Elite female training to be a priestess named Fericee and the two hunters called Koro and Karo.

Soon the two had helped her put on all the armor. It was in pieces around her body. one went around her stomach and up her ribs a bit. She also had three pieces on each arm but nothing on her hands. She had three pieces on her legs as well, along with ankle guards and a strong band going around her neck to protect her major veins. (She wore bands n her wrists as well)

"How is it?" She asked and they all nodded before she grabbed the chess piece she had put on a chain and placing it around her neck, tucking it under her shirt and walking out with the others.

A few hours later Acaadna came and got her from her training in time to watch her taking on Karo, Koro, and Shasic. He stopped and watched as she darted around, with speeds no human could obtain naturally before she beat the others.

"Star! It is time to go." Acaadna called and she nodded before Yappity called some gibberish to her and Shasic slapped her on the back for luck. She hurried over with her armor still polished to perfection.

She waked in, dropped her information disk into the guard-Elite's hands and put her hand the familiar box. She had become used to it so she didn't move in pain as it took a sample of her tissue to match it with that on the disk.

"The council will see you now Star." A quiet elderly Elite said and she nodded respectfully before walking in and kneeling expertly to the prophets, her legs crossed and touch both knees to the floor. "Rise Little One." The Prophet of Truth said, the whole place having found this a suitable address to the human that was rather small compared to everyone but the grunts.

"Yes Holy One." She said before standing without using hands, making the prophets and royal elites whisper of her progress.

"We have called you here today to speak of your adaptation and to test you." The Prophet of Regret said and Star nodded, Her dark gray eyes looked back up and they saw the now more pronounced ring of blue rounding the gray. It had once been dark blue, but was now teal from the training and the enhancements.

"Yes Star, how have you come to think of your new home?" One prophet asked and she closed her eyes before saying, "It is my home, I love it. I have friends and a family, and I couldn't have it any better, besides Holy Ones, I have been here long enough hat it is not very new to me."

"I see...Now for the test." Regret said and she prepared herself for any question but turned when the prophet called, "Gergar!" She turned slowly to see three brutes rushing forward. Only one thought went through her mind,

"Something tells me these guys want to do more then ask me a question."
