In the midst of battle...

When things are bleak and the odds are against you...
When you feel like giving up, or when your life slowly diminishes...

You remember a time when all was peaceful...

When you had parents who looked after you...
When you had a home to dwell upon...

After the Covenant attacked and were suppressed for the time being...

But now...
Here I sit...

My comrades fallen while I barely live...
And here I lie...

Watching my life flash before my eyes as smoke stains the blue sky a putrid sepia...

My mind drifts into the past...
To the place I wish to be...
To the time I wish to live...

To the time...

Before I became...

A Spartan!!!.
