Hydra's Complete
Epilogue of the Heretic Series
SL
The Sangheili known as Hydra, the Last Heretic, and the Ship Master of the Effectual Chastity paced with pride and disdain, he felt burdened with neglecting failure and endowed with absolution.
Hydra's crimson shielding was smoldered in black from previous battles; his torso had small holes dented into his sheath from combat with a Prophet, and scars from plasma grazing. Hydra brushed his battle marks and strode to another Sangheili.
"'Rahanammee, my brother, watch the ship, I am replenishing my semblance" Hydra growled at him.
This Sangheili served under the Prophet of Regret before the Covenant Civil War; he was the leader of an honored, and skillful unit called the Unity of Repent. 'Rahanammee was the personal stealth dominator of Regret's fleet. The Sangheili was decreed to be slayed by the Prophet for intrusion on the truth, which he successfully eluded.
'Rahanammee was still covered in black but had his distinct white crest embedded in his armor for significance in battle. The mighty Sangheili nodded and spoke with a potent voice.
"Yes, Ship Master"
The Last Heretic cued the Repent Leader and stridden toward the armory. 'Gammamee extended his arm and pushed a transparent button on the terminal of the doorway. As he reached the armory he saw Sayare his Unggoy assistant snap into accosting dropping the coupling from the methane tank.
"Abate, Sayare" Hydra growled at the Unggoy.
The Unggoy wasn't scared of the Sangheili, but confident when he was led by him. Sayare picked up the coupling to the teal tank and inserted it into his hump. He removed his rebreather after it was filled, behind the mask was a mouth full of teeth and with a gasp of air he breathed his own methane.
Hydra strolled past Sayare and into a chamber full of accouterments. Each corner held a module shaped like a pod. Hydra walked to one of the silver modules and slid the door apart and poised inside. With the tiers of vitreous words explaining the module he fixed his hands over the terminals.
Lights sparkled to life in the module and quartet of claws scanned his body. With a sloshing sound the claws skimmed his build, and the sound of inferring hissing pleated the claws inside the walls.
The Heretic stepped out with his armor mien with no black or gashes. Hydra approached the bridge thinking about his future. Was there still going to be a Great Journey for the Heretics to follow? Will the Forerunners relent a salvation?
Hydra did not know but for now he knew that he had to defend that notion for his future. With a sense of completion Hydra, Sayare, and his new superseding brother, 'Rahanammee were overlooking the bridge.
