| |
| An acrid breeze blew through a dead forest, the trees blackened by bombing runs and plasma fire. As [[Installation 07|Zeta Halo]] slowly rotated and the nearest star began to dip below the far containment wall that made up the ring band's edge, what passed for dusk began to settle across the fractured landscape. Amidst a backdrop of charred bark and broken limbs, the subtle shift of black armor was the only evidence of [[Jega 'Rdomnai]]'s presence.
| |
|
| |
| The cybernetically enhanced Sangheili warrior waited patiently in the shadows, anticipating the arrival of a group of UNSC Marines designated [[Boulder Squad]]. 'Rdomnai had observed and catalogued the group's patterns and patrol routes for several cycles, and the time drew near for him to make his move.
| |
|
| |
| 'Rdomnai gave a quick but choreographed sweep over his weaponry to make sure all was in peak operating order. In the relative stillness of the moment, he allowed his focus to deviate just slightly towards wistful recollection. His left cybernetic arm housed the reforged remnants of his old personal energy sword—an intimidating, custom-shaped, twin-blade monstrosity named ''[[Ghostpierce]]''.
| |
|
| |
| In his right hand, he slowly turned over the hilt of his most recent weapon of choice, a more traditional Sangheili [[bloodblade]] that itself had already claimed more victims than he could count. The crimson-hued energy sword remained nameless, but 'Rdomnai subconsciously vowed to bestow upon it a new monicker when their job was finally done on this ring. Something befitting of such a monumental victory.
| |
|
| |
| Something befitting the death of a demon.
| |
|
| |
| Nearly an hour passed before the first sounds of the encroaching Marines could be heard. Soon, Boulder Squad was in sight. As the squad crept closer, every step became a silent countdown to mark each human soldier's end. Low voices turned from casual communication to concern and confusion as multiple red energy blades ignited just inside the tree line, the forest suddenly a charcoal painting come to life, giving birth to a monster made of metal and mandibles.
| |
|
| |
| The screams lasted longer than the frantic gunfire, a still silence welcoming Boulder into its eternal embrace. A moment later, the red glow of the blades disappeared, and Jega 'Rdomnai became shadow once more.

| |
|
| |
| Hope. It is a word for the weak.
| |
|
| |
| What hope was there for the [[Jiralhanae]] during the [[Great Immolation]]? When we warred among ourselves over territory spoiled by nuclear fire? When the [[Covenant]] came to throw unnumbered legions of our kind against their enemies?
| |
|
| |
| When [[Doisac|our home]] [[Razing of Oth Sonin|was razed from existence]]?
| |
|
| |
| [[Humanity]] clings to it. They speak of hope as if it were an intangible force that encompasses all things—sustenance, resolve, power. But hope does not feed growling stomachs, nor conquer foes, nor rebuild worlds.
| |
|
| |
| Strength is what achieves these things. Knowledge, industry, weaponry. Many call the Jiralhanae savages, but these are what we once had, when we achieved stellar travel all our own. What future might have awaited us had there been no Immolation? Would we have been strong? Do not dwell upon such questions, lest you tempt hope into your heart.
| |
|
| |
| As the fight against the humans continues,
| |
|
| |
| I shall lead the [[Banished]] with my axe and walk the path of strength. Together, our might shall bludgeon such sentimental notions of “hope” from our foes, and in the end, as they look to the stars and pray for deliverance, they shall know our suffering.
| |
|
| |
| "Hope" shall be nothing more than an epitaph carved into a mass grave of the unworthy.

| When we were on [[Installation 00|Oth Liqattu]], I received the glory of being counted among the [[Exodus Guard]]—those chosen to accompany [[Atriox]] himself back to [[Milky Way|our galaxy]]. It was with the aged [[Horatius]] that I conversed during the journey, and through him learned the history of the [[Ukala Workshop Mangler|mangler]]—a weapon we have used since long before we were brought into the [[Covenant]]’s fold.
| |
|
| |
| The [[Jiralhanae Warlord|warlord]] recounted to me a tale of his [[pack]] on [[Doisac]] as they hunted a great beast through the [[Malkadyr]] wastes, pinning it to a tree with the weapon’s powerful [[Spike weaponry|spikes]]. He noted that the adoption of [[plasma weaponry]] had been swift when the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]] appropriated the [[Jiralhanae]] for their purposes, and while there was great power in their technological gifts it was our duty to keep to the paths we carved for ourselves with blood and grit and pain.
| |
|
| |
| I shall walk both paths. I shall wield the boons of the Covenant against our foes, but I shall always give deference to the works we have forged ourselves. To that end, I personally commissioned the [[alchemy corps]] stationed at [[Riven Gate (location)|Riven Gate]] to alter the mangler’s design, creating a variant that may fire slower—for I have always valued my precision—but unleashes three powerful spikes at once. A single burst shall be as if several Jiralhanae were firing upon a target. Glorious devastation!
| |
|
| |
| My forces and I are presently stationed on the patrol path around the [[Forge of Teash (location)|Forge of Teash]] and [[FOB Charlie|one of the humans’ former bases]], as word of [[John-117|the Demon]]’s exploits continues to grip our brothers with a mix of anticipation and—in the case of the [[Unggoy]]—fear. With their constant chattering, I now understand why many tossed these slothful cowards into the cloaking fields. But once we are finished here, I hope to present this newly forged weapon to Horatius himself. After it has been appropriately bloodied to carve my path into the ranks of the [[Hand of Atriox]], of course.
