HALO: CROSSROADS

Ambush Of Traitors

It seemed as if her entire body was covered by a white blanket and she felt the icy wind hitting his face. She walked through the thick layer of snow desperately looking for something that would indicate the way back, but found nothing. She thought she was alone but around her she could hear footsteps, trees creaking and dry branches that scratched each other every time collided.

Not far from her visualized the silhouette of something that was moving, she couldn't identify who or what it was.
-Hey!... Hey You!-, she shouted without receiving an answer as she approached, and once she narrowed the distance she could see that it was a person, or at least he looked humanoid.

She kept screaming, but it seemed that he or she didn't listen to her, so Nuray cautiously moved closer and extended her hand to touch whoever she'd found, she was so close and hesitated for a second, but before she could do it the sky suddenly darkened, causing her to look up, and when she looked again, that being had disappeared.

She searched again on all sides, but there was only fog, a dense and dark fog that finally overshadowed everything. The white snow had disappeared and instead a powerful storm filled with dangerous rays had beginning to impact. Nuray began to run under the heavy raindrops and without realizing it, she was already facing a huge geometric structure that was composed of gray metal plates, and inside she could see a large holographic panel that preceded a concavity surrounded by a bridge and silver walls, all created with the classic Forerunner architectural style.

In the center of that small abyss, the three-dimensional image of a strange symbol stood out, but which I had seen before, was composed of a type of sphere with some curved and straight lines that crossed it forming a kind of pattern. There was an emblem that was also plasmed in the daggers that the Librarian had called Lights of Fate.

When Nuray tried to enter the room, the being she had found a few minutes before in the snow appeared in front of her. Now that she had him more closely she could see that she look like a human, and that in fact by the shape of the body seemed to belong to the female sex, she wore a strange armor that she had never seen before and covered her entire face with a kind of metallic mask. Nuray was surprised as never before when he saw that in her strange hands held the daggers, and the weapons radiating it characteristic translucent blue light.

-How did you get it? Give it back!-, demanded the young human.

-They belong to only one...-, what seemed the voice of a woman echoed all over the place.

-Who are you?!, I've told you that...-

-You'll be in the rain watching life shatter-

-What?, What the hell are you talking about?... answer me now, who are you?!-, Nuray was completely bewildered, and everything got worse when trying to walk a thick sound made her look towards the ground, her eyes traveled horrified the long corridor behind her, the floor was covered by huge pools of blood and walls full of red marks, handprints marked on those as if shouting the suffering of all who had perished there.

She looked at herself, had her clothes covered in blood and in her hands it was now she who held daggers, at the end of the hall there was a body but couldn't identify who she belonged to, and everything pointed to her being who created that immense chaos .

Between sobs she woke up agitated, <<It was just a dream, a horrible one, but after all a dream nothing more>>, she thought as she tried to calm down and catch her breath.

Overwhelmed, she sat on the bed and a purple light clinked on the table in her room caught her attention, got up and went to verify what it was. She smiled when saw that the image of the Arbiter appeared in front of her, <<Something good after such an unpleasant night>>, although it was nothing more than a holographic message, the simple fact of being able to see him on any way gave her happiness.
