The Wilted Planet

Every war has two different sides. Two different points of view. The perspective isn't everything. But it certainly is something. Something that certainly needs to be understood. Especially if anyone is going to make a difference in the universe.

Caleb Jones is a young marine, nearly turned Spartan. He finds himself locked in a fight he never was expecting to be in. Fighting forces he had underestimated since day one. Pressure builds on the young man, as leadership over his group is placed on his shoulders. Can he and his companions succeed in beating the Covenant threat that has appeared in Sansar? Can Caleb save everyone he calls family? Or was their chances of survival against such power nonexistent?

Freshly trained Sangheili, Kipa Votamee has never seen real combat. He has never even seen the face of his enemy. After being granted permission to join his brother's mission in the assault of the human controlled planet Sansar. Kipa is eager to prove himself to his older brother in any way possible and through him, the Prophets themselves, but a question soon arises in his mind once the combat begins. Surely the race his people have been fighting for generations, the creatures that the Prophets themselves had deemed their true enemy...is in fact his enemy?
