Massively AU. Halo/Mass Effect merged continuity. The galaxy, like much of the universe, is in a constant cycle of birth, destruction and rebirth. No guarantee our civilization is any different. We know others have come before us and perished at their height. What destroyed them? Could it destroy us as well? One human might be our savior, but he needs to grow up a bit first.

AU Setting. Thel'Vadamee has devoted his very existence from a young age to living up to the name and glory of his house and people. To be a living embodiment of the martial prowess of the sangheili and pious adherent to the Covenant theology. When these pursuits are realized he is reborn as Zealot. The only question that remains is if he will ever regret this path in life?
