Halo: The Coup

{{Title| The Coup

This is a sample of my writing style as well as my first article here. It is a short story focusing on Gtar 'Meuikee, a mighty Sangheili warrior whom remained loyal to the Great Journey, though not necessarily the remaining San Shyuum leaders.

Part I
UNSC Military Calendar Date: Unknown specification, late 2553.

Gtar removed his claws from the mutilated neck of another member of his species. He had been without a weapon for weeks save for a meter-long alloy blade employed as an emergency Covenant Weapon. The downed Sangheili bore the armor of a separatist warrior; the top of the helmet had the Sangheili racial emblem carved into it and resembled the pride of the Sangheili species. Gtar however felt it stood for only the cowards of his race. "Our people are wrong, and your corpse is evidence to such," Gtar said to the lifeless body which was now surrounded by increasingly purple snow. 'Meuikee then clipped the mouth-shield back over his face, limiting the movement of his mandibles though preventing the harsh, icy wind from bothering his exposed throat. He squatted down and picked up the guard's tall pike and used his knee to snap the rear meter of the polearm to decrease its length and walked away into the wind.
