This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option. ----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

Okay, so when she is says, "I have defied gods and demons", she is not the one talking, its the gravemind doing it, and it is refering to: "I have defied gods (The covenant being and unstoppable force that has always achieved victory) and demons (Refering to Master chief)". How was Master Chief called in H2? Oh yeah! Demon...
Now in the part that Cortana says "I am your sword, your source (or sword)" That´s the only part that´s kind of confusing cause I can´t really tell if it is "sword" or source.
Last time I checked Gods are immortals and demons are fallen angels and minions of satan. So neither are accurate esspesially as he is talking to master chief and he never defied master hcief he actually saved his life. Actually he saved thousands of lives by not letting halo fire by sending the arbiter there.
According to marty ( the man that works the sound effects and music and such and records voices says it's sword. So it's offical. Also if you notice cortana and gravemind both say I hae defied gods and demons. Then she speaks on her own , she is not a hostage she and him merged to become one identity. Also gravemind has never even met the covenant first hand besides regret and the arbiter. Instead i see it as support for something else. Part of me believes cortana was never who we were told. Part of me believes cortanas image was based off dr hasely to cover up the truth. The other part of me believes after dr hasely made the clone of her self the clone over threw dr hasely and copied the real dr haselys neural patterns killing her and turning her into an AI (angel).
In the mara-halo story any being that is immortal or part immortal appears to be described as an AI. Durandal claimed escaping the collapse would make him god ( in marathon) now in halo the plot is based off the bible. Thoth was also an egyptian god who is an AI in marathon. In the books two fallen angels from the book of enoch are mentioned. Also beowulf a 3/4 of a god from legend is an ONI AI. So Gods and demons are really just STRONG AI's. Reinforced with strong codign and with a vast of intellgence. The way in halo a human is turned into an AI fits into the piece of being saved. In the christian bibles it states we are all to become like The angels.
The words " i am your shield , I am your sword" coems from here:
"Just when the sky runs out of rain
Just when the sun runs out of light
Just when the earth is ill with pain
Just when your body is out of fight
I will be there
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would give my life before I break this promise to you
Melt in to me ( Merge with me )
Don't you want to be the ones that last forever ( an AI aka god)
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your will but they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield
Just when the ocean starts to dry ( the ocean around new mombasa is dried up)
Just when the air is sick with smoke (seen the clouds in trailer)
Just when the statues start to cry
And fallen angels they lay broken ( The fallen angel AI's that are oni AI's in halo)
I will be there
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would lose my life before I break this promise to you
Melt in to me
Don't you want to be the ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your peace but they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield
I'll be your gracious angel ( cortana is an angel now as she used to be a human or atleast a human clone of dr hasely before dieing in the scanign proccess of the cloned neutral patterns)
I'll be your favorite stranger
I'll be the mortar holding your walls
I'll be your army
Just when the sky runs out of rain ( reference to biblical flood what halo is based upon)
Just when the sun runs out of light ( refer to cortana letters " I see a sun black but shining" )
Just when the earth is ill with pain
Just when your body is out of fight
I will be there
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would give my life before I break this promise to you
Melt in to me
Don't you want to be the ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your peace but they wont last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield
I'll be your army"
As for " This is how the world ends"
"We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us--if at all--not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
II
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death's dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind's singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.
Let me be no nearer
In death's dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer--
Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom
III
This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
IV
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o'clock in the morning.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper"
