It was the year 2557. I was a young innocent girl of 21 years old, and in the care of two scientists serving as my foster parents, and they were studying the environment of a Forerunner planet called Requiem, that we recently discovered. During the Halo war, my family served in the military fighting the Covenant, while my foster parents were trying to understand how Halo worked, but not me. I just paid attention to what the Spartan known as Master Chief was up to. That was far more exciting.
But this story of my time on Requiem is not about following in the Master Chief's footsteps. If it was, then I would have started this story in Dr. Halsey's lab on Reach, and going through augmentation. I am no Spartan. However, during the battle for Earth when humanity made a truce with the Elites, I actually became friends with some of them. Humanity still distrusted them but I did not, I liked them.
This is a story about love and beauty found within, and it is about finding the good inside someone that still exists even if they are evil on the outside. It is also about loving someone who is not the same species as you. Are you willing to accept that they are not the same? You love someone who used to be good but has gone bad, you know the good in them still exists and you will do whatever it takes to bring back their good side.
Now that is something I never thought I would do. But I did and it was so powerful I never thought that he would ever be able to bring back the good in him; after all he did to us, himself, and the galaxy. But as soon as I learned the truth, I vowed to bring him back to what he once was.
