Halo: Minorca Saga

"They tell me that all things have a beginning. The greatest warrior must first start as a humble child. A star forms out of a cloud of debris from its predecessor. And even this universe had a beginning, though we cannot see it and its mysterious shall be taken to its grave with us all. Even my tale has a beginning. I wonder if you will know of it? Perhaps not. Few do, and fewer still care. But once, it was my beginning.  They tell me that all things repeat. Perhaps, I say, but it is not the results that matter. It is the methods.  And so, I will tell you a story of loss and betrayal. Of hope and despair. Or destruction and rebirth.  I will tell you my tale."
