==Summary== | ==Summary== | ||
A [[Sangheili]] [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] named [[Fal 'Chavamee]], who refuses to accept the [[Covenant Religion]], is charged with Heresy by a [[High Prophet]]. By order of the Prophet, a Sangheili, named [[Harka]], plans to find a way to bring Fal down. After dreaming about his meeting with the Prophet, [[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 his rank as the 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. | ||
Harka and Roh, under the orders of [[Unidentified Prophet (The Duel)|a high prophet]], invade Fal's home and murder Han while he was away. Fal returns home to discover the bodies of his friend and Han. He is then provoked to face Harka in a fight, which was planned by the Prophet. | |||
A | A [[The Boatman|boatman]], who led Fal down a river to Harka's dueling place, warns the Arbiter that it is a trap. Fal ignores this, and stumbles upon a few of Harka's personal guards, who are subsequently killed. Later on his quest, an army of Sangheili, [[Kig-Yar]], [[Unggoy]], and [[Mgalekgolo]] (accompanied by [[Wraiths]] and [[Ghosts]] as well) charge towards Fal. The Arbiter's single [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]], after slicing through waves of Covenant forces, is rendered useless when its battery is depleted, so he recovers two Swords from a pair of recently deceased Sangheili. Three massive Hunters, two Ghosts, and a Wraith then begin to bombard Fal at once. However, Fal annihilates the whole army, leaving only one cowardly Unggoy (who is soon killed). | ||
Atop a [[Forerunner]] structure, Fal and | Atop a [[Forerunner]] structure, Fal and Harka finally duel. It is a short lived fight, as Harka slashes Fal across his chest, mortally wounding him. To his surprise, however, Fal has impaled him on his own sword. Both fall, each having killed the other. Fal's last thoughts are of his wife, whom he had avenged. | ||
As a result of Fal's actions, the rank of Arbiter is stripped of its former prestige, and is given only to Sangheili who have brought shame to both themselves and the Covenant. | As a result of Fal's actions, the rank of Arbiter is stripped of its former prestige, and is given only to Sangheili who have brought shame to both themselves and the Covenant. | ||
