Chapter 1. In truth Faith is everlasting

"Beautiful... all to splendid, most joyous, fruitful and all too rapturous! Humanity has evolved over thousands of years... I believe for them it is the year 2556. A war against another species we have created? The sangheili, I appreciate the knowledge given to me of the war currently going on by my monitor. 

Now then... which side to choose... perhaps the humans! The covenant seem to be so deluded to the bigger picture it's angering, I suppose not all are bad are they."

She talked to herself while upon the halo ring looking out into the vast distance of life recently created a few thousand years ago. Soon a vulture was seen in the distance about to crash. 

"Oh? Commander Sephonix!"

 A knight commander had teleported next to her and looked up at her. It's armor was black with the usual orange lights of a knight was now green. It's left arm was a dark greenish blue blade and it's right was was a incineration cannon. 

"May you please escort the ones that survive to me, i'm curious to see who and what they are." Commander Sephonix nodded before teleporting again near the pelican. 

There we only 2 surviving Spartans, the marines aboard the pelican didn't make it due to the sheer heat produced by the fall from the atmosphere. it was gruesome death that the spartans had to watch. One of the spartans 2's named Solar Eclipse had dark orange armor with a blue visior, it's overall look was similar to Emile's. He was equipped with a standard battlerifle and a reddish brown tinted magnum. 

The other spartan had forest green and olive green armor, he had a anti-material rifle with a AR and a m60 magnum on his hip. His visor was blue, he wore the MJOLNIR mark 5 armor along with his with a tactical computer on his wrist and a tac pad on his forearm. His name was Cameron. 

Soon they got themselves situated and looked around for a moment as Commander Sephonix appeared right in front of them. Guns were quickly lifted and pointing at the knight and realized something was off. 

"I've seen some odd crap back in my years but seeing this as a squad leader is making the gears in my head stop and turn the other way."

 Cameron had said a bit confused as Solar had the nerve to walk up to it. 

"What do you want..." He asked the Knight as it began walking and turned it's head to see if they'd follow, which they soon did. 

Within half an hour they were led to a large forerunner structure, it was midnight but it's orange lights illuminated it well. All of a sudden a small slipspace portal opened and out came the forerunner who sent Sephonix to bring them. She was just floating off the ground and stood at 9'6 while the two spartans stood at 7'4. Shocks were upon they're faces hidden behind helmets as she greeted them in a now happy mood.

"Greetings! I am Eternal-Faith-is-Everlasting! I assume you are the survivors from that crash earlier?" 

They didn't say anything but stared as she looked down upon them, there was a forerunner alive? Living here? Since when?!

"Y-your a forerunner... how did you survive? Why are you here?" Solar asked again as Cameron stayed quiet.

"Questions I am aware! I will answer them all."

She looked at Solar realizing something about him. 

"You similar to the warden eternal?" Cameron had asked, a small laugh came from her. "The Warden Eternal and I are not from the same branch nor do we have any relation to him besides speaking to him about the humans on earth and being apart of the same faction, I am a high ranking life working while he is a commander for the warrior servants." 

"So your technically a higher rank the him since your more important?" He asked as Eclipse continued to stare at the woman he felt like he remembered from somewhere. "Perhaps, perhaps not. it has been a few thousands years since I last checked the ranking system but most likely! Hm... I can tell you have a deep scar created by the opposite species, may I assist you?" She asked looked at Solar. 

"Uh, go right on ahead." The spartan took off his helmet showing the large scar running down his eye and curving to the lower side of his jaw. She put a finger to his head and the scar faded restoring the skin and color that his face originally had. "What?... how... how did you do that?" 

"High ranking lifeworker, it's in the name if that slipped from your mind Void." her voice was filled with a bit of amusement and life worker. "Hold on... Void?" His voice now confused.

"Ah, I see what happened. I'll just continue to call you void! Do you mind that?" The spartan shook his head as Cameron listened to the conversation feeling confused. 

"How rapturous... Eternal-Eclipse-shaking-Void, Faith is eternal, life remains all  joyous, and even humanity has learned of this place... very well then... I shall assist you!

That was all he heard before waking up laying on the ground in his armor now at earth, he saw and heard the sounds of covenant fighting against other UNSC forces. "Hi!" He saw the forerunner from earlier but as an AI with her arms at her waist and hands clasped together. 

"What just happend?!" He yelled almost being blown up by a plasma grenade. "Questions later it seems, fight against your enemy!"

 She said with enthusiasm in her slightly echoing and advanced sounding voice. Now getting up he started to shoot with his battle rifle avoiding wraith shots from the covenant and taking down several elites. He felt himself get shot by a charged up plasma pistol shot and his shields quickly disappeared.

 Soon a green version of his shields appeared protecting him from fire as Commander Sephonix teleported next to him with a watcher overhead when they both started to fire back at the enemies. The watcher had the same black and green coloration as the commander fired off a shot from his incineration cannon completely incinerating the wraith he hit and the few covenant inside. The remaining covenant forces looked surprised and quickly retreated into the ships they arrived in. 

Sephonix let out a annoyed slight screech then looked at Solar. Where had Cameron go? He was so confused then looked at the forerunner AI, "We were being shot at! How exhilarating!" She said loudly in excitement. 

"First off... I need to know your name before we continue with anything further so I at least have something to call you by..." 

"I am Truth-within-faith-is-Everlasting"

"Oh... besides your poetic name..." He said looking around,

"Very well then." He heard the amusement in her voice.

"My name is..."
