Subject: covenant afraid?

ok for those of you who have not ready boks/bonus content this is gunna be weird
for all of the other people we all know that the covenant started out as a war between elites and prophets, eventualy peace came through religion and they adopted new races in their search for the rings

well my question is , why didn't the covenant try to make peace with humans? are they afraid?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Because The Prophets are Racists and are Corrupt!

Because the Prophets say not to. Their gods tell them that they should be destroyed, so they are doing so. We honestly do not know. Many Covenant species, especially Elites, wonder about this, when they have proven themselves in battle many times, and what they have done to be an affront to their gods.

the prophet of truth knows something about the humans (he's the prophet of truth because he knows the truth about humans and the great journey and how it destroys life . duh) that would really screw up their hyped up "great journey". what he knows about the humans whether it be that we are forerunners, descendants of forerunners, or creations of the forerunners will be known when halo 3 comes out. cant wait. and yes i believe they are afraid because they saw how humans can improve on covenant technology. eg. the chief's armor from halo 2.

The Humans are a virus, as far as the Covenant are concerned.. They're an "inferior race" that deserves to be destroyed. They're not afraid at all. Of course, some of the individual Covenant may be, seeing as the rumors they've heard of "The Demon."

As it has already been said, the Prophets have seen the humans, for whatever reason, as an affront to the gods. Why? We don't know. Other Covenant races have seen humans in some respects as equals and wonder why they are fighting humans but say nothing.
