By order of the Prophet, a Sangheili named [[Haka]] attempts to bring Fal to ruin. After dreaming about his meeting with the Prophet, [[Han 'Chavamee|Han]], Fal's wife, asks him what it was that was troubling him. Fal then tells her that she should leave for a while, but she refuses as she wanted to stay by his side as his wife. | ||

Roh tries to convince him that the Covenant has only done good, and that by rejecting the Great Journey, he will surely be stripped of the rank of Arbiter. However, Fal does not take heed to his friend's warning, and tells him that the Covenant will try to take him down by any means necessary. | ||
Under the orders of the Hierarch, Haka forces Roh to murder Han while Fal is away. Fal returns home to discover the bodies of Han and Roh. He is then provoked to face Haka in single combat. | Under the orders of the Hierarch, Haka forces Roh to murder Han while Fal is away. Fal returns home to discover the bodies of Han and Roh.

A Sangheili [[The Boatman|boatman]], who led Fal down a river to Haka's dueling place, warns the Arbiter that he is entering a trap. Fal ignores this and stumbles upon a few of Haka's personal guards, whom he easily kills. Later, an army of Sangheili, [[Kig-Yar]], [[Unggoy]], and [[Mgalekgolo]], accompanied by [[ | A Sangheili [[The Boatman|boatman]], who led Fal down a river to Haka's dueling place, warns the Arbiter that he is entering a trap.

Later, an army of Sangheili, [[Kig-Yar]], [[Unggoy]], and [[Mgalekgolo]], accompanied by [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]] and [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]], charge Fal. Eventually, Fal kills the entire attacking force. | ||
Atop a [[Forerunner]] structure, Fal and Haka finally duel. It is a short-lived fight, as Haka slashes Fal across his chest, mortally wounding him. To his surprise, however, Fal has impaled Haka on his own sword. Both fall, each having killed the other. Fal's last thoughts are of his wife, whom he has avenged. | Atop a [[Forerunner]] structure, Fal and Haka finally duel.
