It has been 10 years since that day rtas and I had trained together. Now surrounded by 5 sangheili males full grown and each holding a rod similar to mine, I stood in the middle as they prepared to fight me. Eyelids coverd my line of sight waiting till I was ready, inhaling thru puckered lips raising the rod in my hands spinning in place, once my eyelids shot open I spun as the males began to come towards me one at a time. Stopping the rod in mid spin thrusting the bottum end back pushing into the elite male behind me before he could even defend himself I had taken him out. He fell to the ground hunched over, I spun my body as they began to swing their poles towards me. Jumping from a rod sweep, spinning the wooden spear in my hand only for the end to crash thru another elites mandibles causing him to fly back against the wall.
Unexpectedly one had grasped onto the top end of the spear yanking me towards him, in doing so shifting my body around letting him have the spear I once held now behind him. I waited patiently turning himself around my fists chin level I faked a right punch, only kneeing him in the gut with my right leg. Once he bent over I thrusting my left elbow hard against his spin, he fell to the floor. My spears end had hit against the floor upright long enough for me to grab it intime I spun again towards my left barely dodging a rod aiming for the top of my head. Only 2 males left, and they looked to be alittle shaken the groaning, and moans of the others she ignored them completely.
"Ha!" She ran towards them using one of the males on the floor as a step crushing his sternum, she swung her body in a 180 degree turn enough to slam her spear against the middle of the males back he flew forward. She had became so fast that every oppnent she was against moved half the speed she did, finishing the male off by completing a leg sweep in the opposite direction he was falling. Causing him to hit his head against the floor causing the floor to crack.
She stood feeling a rod smack against her butt forcing her forward, her hair came out of the bun covering the sides of her face. She stood up tilting her head to the side glancing over at the male who held a grin.
"Your going to regret that.." he motioned for her to come, she blew some hair from her face. 2 thin braids on each side stayed put from the weight of the blue beads that held the braids form. Her toungue grazed against her bottum lip charging towards the male forcing the rod behind her, thrusting the rod forward the elite easily dodged side stepping towards the left. It continued forcing itself thru the paper wall and outside.
She stood up now behind the elite, he began to laugh turning himself around facing her. She stood with her weight shifted to her left side. He thought she had purposly missed, no instead raising the males rod in her hands. Idiot had no idea she began to spin the rod in her hands stopping it in mid spin thrusting the rod over her left knee as it snapped in half. Chucking one end onto the floor stabbing thru the hard bamboo floor. Taking her time her hips swung exposing her feminine charm, inches from the male he felt uncomfortable.
Kneeing the male in the groin with her left knee he bent forward holding himself, using the last peice of his own spear she slammed the rod against the rigth side of his face, then spun herself to bash the left side of his head in. Causing him to spin in mid air falling on his face.
"I think I need more males to practice with 5 isn't enough anymore." Tarak laughed, waiting with a towel so I could wipe the sweat off my face.
Taking it from her she had grown a few wrinkles since the ten years, pressing the towel against my face, handing it back to her soon after.
"M'lady will you bathe?" I stopped with a grin I turned heading for the stables, sprinting over shiku still looking the same except growing a few grey hairs on her body.
She stood ready with a saddle and bridle the same white that she had worn the first day I saw her in the parade.
I had grown up to a staggering 7 foot since the last time I saw rtas'. Raising my right leg into the stirrups pushing down causing my body to raise up in a graceful motion, I swung my left leg over her back now sitting. The reins in my hands with a soft kick against her sides she took off in a full run, the wind against my face was worth the traiing earlier. Being this was my favorite part at the end of my training, hitting the trails that had been made by the many trips we took sometimes more then once a day. Her hooves pounded against the hard dirt sometimes pieces stuck to her only to fly off from the power of gravity.
Upon a hill stopping for a break, stepping down now walking on my own two feet or hooves. The wind blew even harder my hair fluttering in the wind along with the braids. Being 7 foot now my body had changed so much, my breasts were full filling the uniform mother had given to me. Curves were more apparent in the hour glass shape many work so hard to have, my abs were also able to be seen even without straining excersize. My thighs well developed muscular but not to the point they touched giving an 2 inches of space between. In fact I was a pure and a young woman, I had already graduated in war college. The only thing that was different was that my family had yet to come home, though 3 years back got word that both of my brothers were killed. Squinting my eyes thinking back to when I last saw them, my father and levy were said to be coming home soon. Mistress cato gave word that their son karo had also died.
Mother has kept me here by orders, I wanted to go out and fight for our country. But she is afraid she might lose me too. Rtas had vanished as well some said that he had been on a spec- ops mission.
"Rtas' you better come home safe, because I still owe you an ass kicking.." The wind began to pick up throwing strands of my hair in different directions as I stood there, my clothes pressed against my body.
As if the wind was going to carry my message all the way to him, but I knew there was no hope for that.
The time of the year came when the parade would start, and being invited I could not say no to our people. Heading back tomorrow was the big day, the day I would be addressed to princess meaning I was fully matured. Ready to be mated, thats if I so choose to be I would be crown with the jewel that represented my birth. Which happened to be my favorite jewel, the sapphire.
Shiku snickered finishing her light snack of the tender grass that grew ontop of the hill. On the ride back, her thoughts went elsewhere the sounds of shiku's hooves pressing against the dirt kept her concentration. Before she knew it they had made it back home, trotting thru the driveway that circled around the right side towards the stables. Stepping down again one of the workers took care of shiku for me, now it was time for me to bathe.
Entering the bathing area stepping behind an elegant carved wooden curtain divider, untying the bottum of my top. Pushing back the fabric letting it fall behind me onto the floor, the cool night air blew across my chest which formed goosebumps. Forming over my grey skin, bending over slightly my hands rested on the top of my pants sliding my hands forward then back following the pants outline till they too fell off my hips onto the floor. Stepping out from behind the divider raising my hands up to remove the head dress from its position in the middle of my forehead. Placing it aside, forcing my left foot forward and onto the first step continuing till the middle of my thighs were covered by the hot water.
Sitting myself down slowly, my breasts were concealed but clevage was visible. Leaning back against the granite wall, after dunking myself under for a few seconds. The braids stuck to her chest, and the side of her neck. Keeping my hair just an inch past my shoulders, the braids stretched further to the top of my breasts.
My aching muscles soon began to feel soothed from the temperature of the water, closing my eyes, tilting my head back against the edge with a rolled towel waiting for me. Barely opening my eyes to see tarak at my side pouring water over my front.
"I remember when you were just 8 years old, it has been so long. Your a beautiful young woman now. You could conquer the universe if you put your mind to it." Confused by her advice, looking up into her eyes as she continued pouring water over my head.
"Why do you say such things? What would I do with the universe at my disposal." She giggled pressing her lips against my cheek.
"Anything you wanted.. I am sorry your mother doesn't want you to leave to join the war. But again I am also glad I would miss you terribly." Raising my hands above the surface of the water I saw wrinkles begining to form, seeing it was time to get out.
Standing up I stepped out of the tub, chills again flowed thru my body in waves. Making the robe around my shoulders feel so warm, and soft. Tying the robe tight around me I had precious cargo to keep hidden now, heading towards my room. Still the same except graduated to a bigger bed then before. Crawling over the top of the covers before tucking myself in, my head rested on the soft feather pillows.
Early morning came and so did my usual routine, this time I decided not to beat up the males today. My training had to stop early by mother rushing to catch my attention before I rode off on shiku.
"Keila! Little one, you need to be fitted for your new dress!" Stopping I had already forgotten tonight was the festival. Sighing in annoyance, but it needed to be done first having to bathe from earliers training. I didn't soak as long as I usually do for sunset was already coming, hurrying intot he fitting room female sangheili awaited for my presence. Quickly they began to strip me of my robe, pressing soft silk of different colors against my skin. I had so many colors to choose from, I felt overwhelmed as did mother. Looking to tarak my eyes pleaded for help, she stepped forward picking a baby blue that brought out my hazel eyes and grey skin.
"Yes I like it, tarak your a life saver." She bowed politely, sighing in relief finally my dress was going to be fitted and ready by tonight.
Next was what make up I wanted to wear, which wasn't going to be much I don't like having my face painted unlike my mother. But I choose a transparent white glitter for my eyes, and matching lip gloss made by only tarak's hands.
I made sure shiku had been bathed and ready to be dressed up as well, her costume was slightly different her mane and tail were braided just the same as mine leaving the rest to hang natural. Later on the sun began to vanish beneath the mountains where levy and I would sit and admire the scenary. I stood near the old cherry tree, the one that levy would lean against while telling me stories. Basking in the sunlight what was left of it, tarak placed her hand on my back.
"M'lady it is time to go." Turning around we headed towards the fitting room once more. My kimono was always made the same way just different colors each year, this year the under robe was pure white and the kimono was the light blue. The design was altered some able to see my thighs by the upside V cut into the dress, allowing me easier ride on shiku.
My hair was left alone except saphire beads replaced the old, my hair was kept back behind my shoulders besides the braids allowing them to hang in front of my shoulders. Make up was lightly brushed over my eyelids, lip gloss was pressed against my top and bottum lip. Mother was finsihed before I and she wore the same dress every year. Noticing she held an elegant new head dress, I knelt down until on both knees. She approached me as tarak helped place the head dress ontop of my head. It was much heavier tiny silver linked chains over lapped one another giving a criss cross effect. They reached to the middle length of my hair, tassled silver linked chain reached just 3 inches from the band reaching over my temples and underneath the front of the band, each tassel held a tiny sapphire emerald. The band itself held several small sapphires along the length of my forehead.
Admiring the new headdress mother tried holding back tears, looking up into her eyes I smiled in proud I had earned my status as princess heir to the Mdama estate. I stood as tarak placed my earrings and choke necklace around my neck. Leaving the fitting room we both entered the vehicle that would escort us to the city for the parade, having crossed my right leg over my left, my legs were exposed to my upper thighs.
Mother had long since dried her tears, she sat silently I guess her way of coping with anxiety. As the vehicle finally came to a stop, it stayed hovering 4 inches from the ground, the purple metallic reflected any light the cities decorative lanterns gave off.
Still getting used to the wait and the jewels lightly tapping against my skin, when I moved at all. Shiku was ready and amped, she pulled against one of the warriors hands who tried to keep her still. The music, and large crowds excited her even more, flicking her tail up and down prancing in one spot ready to show off as usual. Approaching her it didn't take me but 2 seconds to get myself up and in position, soon she calmed down as I took over holding the reins.
Mother got into her spot as well, and it started with a smile on my face the children from 10 years ago having children of their own. And as the same tradition I tapped their childs hand, it wasn't much but keeping a safe distance careful not being pulled off. The parade ended off without a hitch, the best part being the music and dancing. I had an unusual amount of males asking me to dance having to ask them to line up, each one getting 8 minutes. I couldn't help but smile laughing inside at the over used pick up lines.
I had spun from my last dance partner ready for the next, once he grabbed me pulling me close gently. I hadn't got a good look till tilting my head back, he was very tall about a foot higher then I.
"Hello little one, you've grown into a beautiful young woman." I froze unexpected my father to be back. Stopping the music silenced itself, mother had already gotten up waiting for her turn to love her husband. Hugging him tightly, I cried like the 8 year old child as before.
Mother joined in as well pressing kisses along each side of my fathers face, crying along with me. Everyone was polite kneeling before their second head of state.
"Father it is so good too see you again." He nodded trying to get a breath in but he missed mother just as much, they needed a moment. Mother took awhile but father had something important that needed to be said, he held onto her tightly as she cried. Looking over towards me, his smile faded he nodded in reply.
"Little one your, to be leaving right now." Mothers crying had ceased looking up at her husband confused.
"Father?" I myself was confused what did he mean?
"You have been ask to attend a trial as a special guests of the prophets, from their on you work under the Sangheili councilors on high charity. They have personally chosen you."
I didn't know whether to be flattered or what, mother shook her head pleading with father not to let me go. But he didn't have a choice but to obey the councilors, and the prophets judgments. I only nodded having no choice but to obey orders from the higher officals. Tho it was an honor to be the only one chosen to be trusted by the councilors, I had a feeling it was because of my grandfather levy. Being rushed home, tarak began to pack my things. In fact my entire bedroom was cleared out and hauled onto the private cruiser used before.
The armored sangheili, uggoy, and jackals all helped I had no idea where they even came from. Stepping outside once I had changed my clothes, mother had these especially picked out for when this day would come. Basking in the sunrise this would be my last time on my planet for I don't know how long. My hair was still the same with the braids, crown and all. My dress reached all the way towards the ground shaped into a v stretching behind me about 4 inches that just dragged along. All one piece white dress with our family's symbol stitched in a navy blue on the back and in the top right, and left corners. Two straps only a half inch wide reached over my shoulders attatched to the back. The parts of the fabric that covered my breasts and reaching towards my lower stomach designed to replicate a type of corsette exposing my feminine curves. Uncomfortably tighter then what I was used too, having to get used to the feel of my breasts being pushed bulging slightly from the top. Honestly it felt weird to me but seeing how mother chose it I am sure there was a good reason for it.
My hearts were beating anxious for what was to become of my future, Tarak had gently rested her left hand against my back I jumped turning to see her with tears in her eyes holding what looked to be sleeves that matched my dress. I didn't know what to say honestly, letting her slide the loose fitting sleeves to the middle of my tricept tighting the blue strings keeping the sleeves in place. Finishing with the other my attire was complete I hoped, leaving the jewelry on from last night.
My father approached me from behind readying his arm to escort me towards the cruiser that would take me to an awaiting battle cruiser in orbit. Interlocking my arm with his we walked together towards the awaiting crew who stood saluting as we approached. The sangheili elites weren't just any ordinary elites they were honor gaurds they stood tall, in massive orange, and red armor. Muscled to the max no room for any weakness what so ever, I didn't feel afraid but more proud. The time had come for me to work for my long awaited goal. Stopping before the stairs father and I faced each other to speak for a moment.
"Little one, I can't tell you how proud I no.. How proud we all of you. Your brothers were a great loss, but I know you have been training hours on end, everyday. I believe you can become whatever you wish to be. don't worry about us, you keep concentration on yourself. We will send you video calls whenever we can, and I will take care of the place from now on as you have while I was gone. Father couldn't make it but you will hear from him soon. Now young warrior fight your heart out."
Tilting my head down he kissed my forehead underneath the crown. Stepping back mother instantly hugged me as tight as she could, father gave her a few minutes before having to pry her off of me. Tarak bowed completely to the ground before me in deep respect, hiding the tears that fell to the ground. I was afraid of starting to cry forcing msyelf to turn around picking up some of the dress allowing me to make my way intot he private cruiser. The others followed suit everyone of them proud and respectful towards me. The engines roared alive feeling gravity push against our bodies soon the pressure equalized so we couldn't feel a thing as the cruiser ascended for the outter atmosphere approaching the huge battlecruiser that was to escort me to high charity.
I couldn't beleive how big and magnificant the covenant fleet had been, one huge battle cruiser along with 100 smaller cruisers escorting the battle cruiser itself.
"All of this for me, I am just for me.." A massive elite dressed in yellow armor, he approached me keeping a respectible distance from where I stood. His deep voice rang thru my thoughts turning my attention towards him I bowed quickly in respect. His hand raised giving me the signal to basically relax.
"I am Orna 'Fulsamee ship master, I attend to escort you to the councilors personally. It is a great pleasure to be honored by such a well reknown guest among the high council. I hope we fight side by side in the near future campaign against the puny humans."
Soon after he stepped closer reaching for my hand similar towards the way karo treated me, only nudging his head softly against my skin. For the elites here had spread mandibles battle habits one that are hard to correct after awhile. I felt akward ever so politely removing my hand from his grasp. I am sure it has been awhile since the males here have seen a female who was not yet mated with another. So my gaurd was even higher then normal, I was not a female you could woo so easily.
"Thank you, if you don't already know I am Princess Keila Mdama." He nodded making himself scarce, for another elite minor interrupted with urgent news from the battle cruiser he ran.
Having gotten onto my knees sitting onto a chair near a window I witnessed the battle cruiser myself the huge purple metallic vessel waited. My eyes widened at the construction of the ship it was sound for speed and combat. Housing millions of covenant within its massive armored hulls. And I was to be a guest, entering the bay area where the phantoms and smaller cruisers sat parked ready for battle. Being escorted by the honor gaurds I stood in the middle as they surrounded me, gathering up alot of attention by the crew who stood in lines saluting in respect. I nodded in a polite gesture in return, the uggoy elbowed one another and spoke outloud towards one another admiring my beauty. I couldn't help but giggle quietly as we walked passed them hearing a shout coming from a minor elite.
"Shut up, give the princess some respect!" The uggoy quickly snorted standing up straight scared of being tossed out into space.
I was brought towards the command cent of the battle cruiser called Fleet of particular Justice. Able to approach the large clear sheild that seperated us from the vacuums of space, my hands at my sides. I could also feel numerous eyes on the back of my head and other parts of my body. Admiring the first time I was in space, orna sat in the ship masters chair sitting up high im sure making himself look good as he shouted orders.
"Began slip space rupture towards high charity!" Turning my head looking back over my shoulder towards orna who kept his eyes on the sheild before us.
I saw the blue swirl of the slip space rupture form like a black hole. The engines of the battle cruiser roared twice as loud as the smaller private cruiser would have. The ship began to inch closer and closer, till the hull of the ship slipped thru the blackhole. Feeling nothing as if we hadn't moved at all, we were forced out the otherside so to speak. And seeing the enormous covenant city of high charity, I had heard stories of it's massive volumne but nothing like this. It was beautiful in it's own way, millions of covenant ships surrounded it gaurding their precious prophets and councilors.
Once the ship lined up with the bottum of high charity a large tube shaped tunnel began to extend attatching itself to one of the cruisers large bay entrances. Able to witness all of it by watching the monitor, hundreds of covenant left and entered unloading and loading supplies. The honor gaurds approached me laying his hand on my shoulder, turning around I figured it was time to go. Bowing towards the ship master in appreciation of the ride, and small tour.
"Thank you for your gracious, and safe escort." He waved his hand not much for goodbyes, and left the command center to enter high charity. Basically to describe it, there was a massive city within high charity itself. And the surrounding walk ways, and large gradens held high officals suites.
"Right this way m'lady." I had gotten the impression I was being respected because of my surperiority of being the only single female among this place. I felt eyes literally touching my body, very few males caught my eye. Though I was looking for an old friend, I wondered if I would be able to recongize him at all. Since he had been sent to war at an early age, he could be covered in scars.
It felt like we had walked in one big circle for miles, for everything was kept the same. Each garden we stepped thru, door, and gravity bridge all of it was the same. Till finally we came across a huge door that broke into 3 sections sliding underneatht he safety of the walls allowing us to walk out onto a huge bridge. The doors up ahead were thin with purple signaling it was where the councilors would gather least the sangheili. Only one honor gaurd led me thru the door, and a large council bench shaped in a half circle containing each council member that represented the sangheili species. Their armor was unmatched to any I had seen before, metallic silver in color. Their head dress were enormous, each one slightly different then anothers. Once they had seen me, they stood up as the gaurd stepped aside approaching the councilors carefully one spoke up.
"Keila Mdama I presume. Your beauty and prowess has been wrong. I feel something even more magnificant in your presence. It is an honor to have you here thank you for coming in such short notice."
Again with the male talk, not much of my thing but I knelt before them in respect for they were surperior in rank.
"Thank you, but I am just a normal sangheili female. Trained by Rtas Vadummee."
Soon as I spoke rtas name their heads turned amongst one another, like they hadn't expected that. He must of been reknown for the councilors to gossip about. The main councilor finally introduced himself.
"Rtas 'Vadummee is a good sangheili warrior famous among the covenant for the fight against the flood. But that is not why you are here Miss Mdama.. You were hand picked and your name was given by a very close ally of ours. Your grandfather Kaidon Levus Mdama. We are the councilors of our race, and as head of the sangheili councilors I welcome you to the high council aboard the high charity. Calarus Vadummee Rtas Father, head of Vadummee state."
Looking up for a moment then to quickly bow once more my hands pressed against the floor. My best friends father is one of the councilors? He must know where rtas is, and he fought against the flood? I had read about them in a report my father had received, disgusting creatures. He began to continue, but what he said next made my mouth drop.
"You Keila Mdama, will be promoted as Imperial gaurd. Your skills, character, and trustworthy admiration for all species is what brought you here. Whatever mission we send to you, you will report back with results. You may never speak of your missions with anyone outside of this room except those who work under you. The entire special-ops organization are under your control. Your missions laid upon you will form enemies and unusual allies. Examples the humans, you maybe sent out to study their behaviors, technology. And may even have you set a meeting face to face. As for anyone who tries to interferre you must kill them, do you understand?"
Tilting my head up towards calarus, he was serious on making me swear my allegance with them. Swallowing the fear of what might become of my future, I nodded agreeing to the terms.
"I keila Mdama swear by the promise I will fullfill your every wish councilors. I will do my best to bring positive results to the high council in any way possible."
I basically sold my soul to the devil, but as for being the only female to work under the high council with such surperiority was a great feet. The councilors sat except for calarus who stood.
"You are very brave to give your time, and life to our cause on the Great Journey to come."
The others nodded their heads before talking amongst themselves, the head of the council approached me. He towered over my body giving me the signal to stand before him, still he had a good 2 feet on me. His left hand raised to tilt my head up looking into his yellow eyes.
"Rtas, and cato spoke highly of you, and I can tell why. You are indeed a unique female. And for befriending my son I thank you. Now allow me to escort a beautiful sangheili female to her new home."
He held his left arm bent slightly sliding my left thru the space between his arm and body, his right hand came up to pat my left arm lightly in a fatherly manner. He made me feel safe, and at home just by this first meeting.
"My wife never could stop talking of you, she is a wonderful woman. She said you kept her company while you visited with your grandfather."
I chuckled nodding, keeping my dress out of calarus's way he gave me a tour of high charity. It was like seeing a different side of him, the father side of him. I can see why rtas' turned out to be such a good warrior.
"Lord calarus, where is rtas right now?"
"Well I have not heard from my son in quite sometime, last I heard he was working under the prophets. They have kept him quite busy, looking for these so called heretics. Do not worry though he is in good hands and an excellent leader, and teacher. And from what I hear that is also all thanks to you, and that you were able to tie in a small spar between the two not many elites can keep up."
I blushed hearing such good things about me. "I had good teachers from two different families, I couldn't of gotten this far without their help."
His laugh rang out echoing thru the garden area where small fish circled in small ponds, living their lives without fear of any enemies that would make them dinner.
"Well I look forward to witness your abilities first hand. Here is your new home. I hope you find it suitable."
As the door split into two seperate sections entering my eyes widened to take in such a large home. Everything was elegant and already furnished with the finest furniture there was. The sangheili culture shouted thru each piece making up the place. Two levels, two bedrooms counting master bedroom with a master bath connected. Another bathroom for the guest bedroom. A full size kitchen, living area, including my own office, or den. Everything I ever needed was all here. My things were already unpacked and moved into their places. Turning around facing calarus with a smile.
"It is more then suitable councilor, thank you very much."
He approached me placing a soft kiss on my cheek, after pressing his hands against my arms. He left without a word, leaving me to explore the place. Soon an 2 uggoys stepped out in the open, kneeling before me.
"Oh, hello and who might you two be?"
One uggoy called himself grunt, with yellow on his uniform. As for the other his name was Gar, and had a green uniform. Gar spoke for both of them since grunt couldn't speak sangheili language.
"We are your servants, anything you need just ask ok? I do have a question what would you like us to call you?"
I smiled rubbing the top of their bald heads they snorted nervous as if I was going to hurt them.
"You may call me anything you wish. But my name is Keila Mdama." they thought for a moment and grunt spoke up saying "Dama." Instead of Mdama.
"We call you Dama ok?" I nodded it would take some time to get used to but, it was cute.
I planned the rest of the day so to speak, getting used to my new home. Nothing was different then back on my home planet except for the unusual company of the uggoy's who seemed to be more amusing then helpful. But they got things done faster then anyone I have ever seen. Soon grunt one who couldn't speak sangheili language approached me holding a hologram recorder. Resting it in my hands he lowered his head leaving to finish his chores.
Looking at the device on the palms of my hands, I stood only to kneel down to the ground setting it. Only having to press play, the device lit up flickering slightly before a full size sangheili who she reconized instantly as her grandfather.
"Levy.." She spoke in a soft tone, it was like he was really here with her. Standing quickly able to still feel his eyes locking onto hers. He hadn't changed much in all these years tears formed and fell in a single stream over both of her cheeks. For so long she awaited to hear his soothing voice she had known since she had came into the world.
"Little one, it has been too long since we have been apart. But there has not been one day I had not had you in my thoughts. Seeing you has been something I have longed for, I am sorry for that day I had to go. But duty calls, I am still well more then well. Having a friend of yours as company Rtas he has grown into a fine young male. As I am sure you have turned into a beautiful female. I wish I could see you my term has ended, I now am home with your father and mother. I am so sorry I could not see you, but you are about to start a new life one which I made sure to include you. For I think you can change the fact of this war against the humans. There are still things in this world I can not yet explain. So I send you a warning do not trust the prophets, keep your alliance with the high council, there has been talk of treason among the brutes. I know if anyone can find the truth it will be you, keep an open mind. The humans have been fighting to protect something and not just their own hides. There is something more about the forerunners and these installations known as halo's we are to find. There is also the flood who are spreading at a rapid pace, desicrating any species in their paths turning them. You must protect not only the sangheili species but all others as well. My term maybe over little one but I am still in the fight gathering forces back at home."
Levy's hologram began to flicker, she sat down at the edge of the bed trying to gather her thoughts.
"I don't have much time now little one, but you must stay strong. Your training thru all these years will pay off, you must step up and protect your people even the little uggoy's they are just as important. Stay clear of the brute cheiftan they call tartarus, he is a blood thirsty ape who would love to find a reason to murder an elite. His strength is out matches even you and I put together. But do not show you are afraid. Remember your number one priority is to the high council, I trusted calarus to keep you safe he is a good friend. We love you, and take care. When you see rtas remind him of home he could use it."
"Levy I have so many questions.."
The device shut down engulfing into a blue flame turning into a pile of ash. My entire life our family has dedicated our lives tot he religon of the prophets, now they plan to turn on us? Now I know why the high council hired me for my position, it was because of my grandfathers faith in me. I just hope I can fullfill my duties. Taking in a deep breath, wiping the tears from my eyes.
"Gar, can you send me all the files on these installations, and information on the war with the humans. I want everything." Getting up heading into the office sitting on a large oval shaped chair, I began to study already receiving files on everything and everyone.
Able to get into classified information as well. Asking the high council to give me at least a year to let me do my research on the forerunners. And that's exactly what they gave me, though every morning I kept up my training. In fact it was the only time to keep my head clear, I become familiar with some of the other species in the area. But I made sure to keep my distance from the brutes, if one was polite of course I would reply in the same manner. But I was far too busy to become friendly with anyone, I had a job and I intended on seeing it thru.
