Awesome.

Just great!
Fantastic Chapter...
I hope you will make chapters concerning the other ages as well.

Thanks for the PM.

I shall cut into 343 Industries Headquarters, retrieve the Halo Bible and burn any 343 Industries employee that stands in my way.

Grand Hierarch of the Covenant Elite Community!

At first i was thinking: "Against who are the Sangheili fighting?" I thought the Brutes or Humans, but it were the Prophets. I was really puzzled by it. And since i don't have the Limited Edition, i now know how the Convenant came to be.

Or a chapter that describes the taming of the Humters....
That would be really cool too.

It's the beginning of the Covenant when the Sangheili (Elites) fought the Prophets.

The sangheili is the covenant name for elites. Chapter 12 was a trip back in time explaining the origins of how the covenant first came into being. If you do not uderstand what is taking place I must ask did you read the 'authors notes'? If not, I'll restate them here. And I quote, [color=red] A/N: Wow, this was a hard chapter to write. Both because of the style, and all the new stuff. Surprisingly the length wasn’t really an issue, which should be good news for all you readers. I’ll be able to make all my chapters close to this length from now on I think.

I warned you guys, this chapter is going to be something different. So prepare yourselves before venturing downwards. Also remember this, the way to understand what’s going in this chapter is to have a basic understanding of the Covenant history, and to look at the title of this chapter. It is very very very very important. If you require the necessary knowledge of the Covenant’s past, I recommend googling ‘Halo Library’ and finding the first site the pops up. [/color]

that was pretty good amazing


but i have too say if there are ging to be 5 more chaps like that then it will probably get a bit boring if you could only concentrate on significant events like the grunt rebellion and the taming of the hunters that would be better

OMG. What a chapter. I actually started crying after I read the end. i was so connected with Forlumee that when he was betrayed by the Prophets, it hurt so much. THis was an awesome read. Keep up the good work.

A magnificent and thought provoking chapter. Superb. Well done Mr_Clark. But as alot of other people have said if there are 5 more chapters like this people will become impatient. Although it is nice to see a wonderful backstory people are wanting to see about the humans. Although i look forward to the next chapter no matter who or what it is about, you may lose some readers to frustration.Otherwise ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Oh and sorry for being so negative.

I understand people are really interested in the continuing of the main storyline, but there is some things that need to be addressed in the Covenant history, as it will be very important once we return to the actual story.

I'm not doing a chapter on each Age in the Covenant history, that would take too long, even I admit that. We're only getting a brief look into their history, and I'm picking only the more important Ages. I planned on doing 3 chapters of the Covenant history, covering three of the more important pieces of their history.

We've done the first age, The Age of Abandonment, and Chapter 13 will cover a certain other age, but I'm not saying which one.

Thanks to everybody that's been reading, your praise, and even your criticism, is always welcome.

This was a good chapter like they all are.......at first i had no idea what was going on (maybe you could tell us a little better that this is a story from the past by thats just me) one because i didnt know it was a blast from the past and the other was that my ADD was kickin in and i was lookin for the regular story line.......but it was great anyways and once i knew what was going on it was actually very interesting and good to read......i cant wait for the next chapters and i really cant wait for the actual story line to resume.............plus i have a new reason to hate the prophets

Hey Mr. C thanks for the PM again. That was an awesome chapter. That is probably why the Prophet of Mercy looks so old because he was alive when the Covenant first started. It seems like the Arbiter is a lot like Commander Forlumee.

My thoughts on this chapter: When I first started reading this I was a bit dissapointed as well
I was hoping for another chapter covering the events on earth. I did'nt really want a chapter like this. Reason being most authors who try to go back that far screw up horribly.
But as it turns out you are one of the few authors that can go that far back in the timeline without
his story turning into a peice of anachronistic crap.
You actually mannaged to craft this chapter into another excellent entry into your story.
I made for an excellent explination for the formation of the Covenant.
I hope all of your other chapters that go back in the timeline fare this well.
Of course the part where the prophets framed and made that elite
(forgot his name aleady!) kill himself made me fire up my Xbox and play Regret just so I could asassinate him.
I applaud your story for a persn who is only 18 this is a true acheivment.
There are a few minor spelling errors though.
You dont nesscisarily need to proof read though.
Simply copy and paste your story to a word proscesser with a spell check and its taken care of.
Also I have not seen a post like this yet but dont post your thoughts in the form of:
WOOT WOO7 YoU iS Like ThE UlTiMaTe RiTeR!!!!1111
its relly annoying even if its a compliment so please NOOO!
