{{Quote|The [[Halo universe]] is so rich and complex. I found the Forerunners captivating, and really enjoyed writing them. I loved being able to focus in on some characters that people already knew, and answering the question, 'so what happened after that?'|Christie Golden{{Ref/Reuse|bbb}}}}
This story takes place at the close of recorded Forerunner history, during the events that followed the destruction of the Forerunner capital world by the rogue artificial intelligence Mendicant Bias (Halo: Cryptum) and the subsequent activation of the Halo Array to end the centuries-long war with the extragalactic parasite known as the Flood (Halo: Silentium).. It was written by [[Christie Golden]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/books-browsers-and-big-team '''Halo Waypoint''' - '' Books, Browsers, and Big Team'']</ref>
'''''Promises to Keep''''' is one of several short stories in ''[[Halo: Fractures|Halo: Fractures: Extraordinary Tales from the Halo Canon]]''. Written by [[Christie Golden]], the story takes place in the closing days of known [[Forerunner]] history following the events of [[Greg Bear]]'s ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]'',<ref name="bbb">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/books-browsers-and-big-team '''Halo Waypoint''' - '' Books, Browsers, and Big Team'']</ref> as a group of surviving Forerunners embark on a perilous journey to the devastated [[Maethrillian|capital world]] of the [[ecumene]] in order to restore the [[Domain]]. Due to the revelation of [[Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns]] being [[000 Tragic Solitude]], it has narrative connections to ''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''.

==Trivia==
The name of the story "Promises to Keep" was inspired by [[Wikipedia:Robert Frost|Robert Frost]]'s poem, "[[Wikipedia:Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening|Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening]]", and the line, "''for I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep''".<ref>[http://paulsemel.com/exclusive-interview-halo-fractures-authors-matt-forbeck-christie-golden-troy-denning/ '''Paul Semel''' - ''Exclusive Interview: Halo Fractures Authors Matt Forbeck, Christie Golden, And Troy Denning'']</ref>
