Subject: [Short Story] Lura Phenon - The Day of Truth

"There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe."
Gospel of John, 1:1-7

Just a little story involving the Halo Universe. I posted this on a private group and I wanted to post it here for fun. Hope you guys like it. It's very short, no huge walls.


As important as you may be, or think you are, you are not ready for Tier 0.



Chapter 1: Day of Truth

As the days grew longer, the nights became shorter, but one day the stars glistened all day and night. (1)

The Precursors called this day Lura Phenon , or Day of Truth. (2) It was revered as the most Holiest of days. (3)


On this day, Peniint and his Family followed the All Mighty Prasem down the mountain side. (4) The All Mighty Prasem spoke loud and clearly to all the followers of the Church of Truth. (5) He spoke of a day when many thousands of years ago, the Mantle was handed down to the Precursors by the Founders of All Truth and Guardian. (6) Peniint was never a holy Precursor, but he still stood up for his Church. (7) Other Church's prosicuted his beliefs, thinking his thoughts were against what is All Mighty. (8) As the day went on, and the speech became ever so dreadful, Peniint saw a shadow in the sky. (9) This was not an ordinary shadow, as it blocked out the stars that shown brightly in the afternoon sky. (10) Peniint soon became very afraid, and fearful, so he ran. (11) He ran through the crowd, past the huts, and into the forest, not knowing where he was going. (12)

Chapter 2: The Chosen Guardian

After many hours alone, Peniint realized that this fear was not of evil, but of righteousness. (1) He contemplated this idea of fearing a Holy Being. (2) He began his way back to the village, with his mind set to answer his questions. (3) Along the way, he noticed a Sevatch [The number 7 in Precursor] on the ground. (4) What was special about this Sevatch, was not that it was carved into a tree or written in the dirt, but it was an alloy Sevatch just sitting on a stump. (5) Peniint suddenly is hit by a flash back. It was of his old school teacher sitting in front of him, telling him why we celebrate the Day of Truth. (6) The teacher says, "On the Day most Holy, the Guardian shall be picked in a way the All Mighty chooses. (7) The All Mighty shall make the Chosen One flee in fear, farther away than He has ever been. (8) He shall be shocked and then the All Mighty One shall show him a sign, possibly the Most Holy number, Sevatch. (9) The Chosen One, or Guardian, will realize his fate, and then do his bidding. (10) He shall find the next Carrier of the Mantle." (11)

Chapter 3: The Search For the Carriers

This is a terrific thing, but also a sad time. (1) This marks the next Generation of Mantle Carriers, it also marks the time of Revelation and Apocalypse. As the old Precursor poem goes... (2)


The Day the Carriers have been found and secured
The Old Carriers shall pass and be cured
From All Death and All Evil
The Time of Choosing is soon near its Feeble
End, and Time of Great Doing
Shall go the Precursors, in all that's been Choosing.... (3)

As Peniint searched, he sought out the Galaxy, traveling from planet to planet. When he finally found what he was searching for. (4) A species so like the Precursors in so many ways, Peniint knew He had found the next Mantle Carriers. (5)

Chapter 4: The End of a Rein

And on that same year, after the knew species, named the Forerunners, was secured, the day of End was brought. (1) Battles occurred, Rain that burned the skin poured down, fire engulfed the world, and the Precursors became the Legends of Legends. (2)
