This story is based on everything that has to do with Halo.

About twohundred years before the event of Halo, 3500000 lightyears from earth, there was a planet called Zealor.
Zealors king, the mighty Drethros, has been ruling for 10 years and everything is going well.
But on a dark night with three rare full moons, a terrifying noise approached the planet. This noise was the beginning upon the age of destruction of Zealor, and also the beginning of one of the most advanced races to rule this universe.

The next morning when the king woke up, he heard loud screaming outside on his citysquare. When he looked through the window he saw two of his guards fighting eachother. They were tearing eachother to pieces. King Drethros went outside to stop this madness. But he was to late. One of the guards picked up a flaming torch, and charged at the defensless Zealorian. "What the hell where you thinking", yelled king Drethos. "I don't no what had gotten in to me", said the guard. "Execute this sick bastard", and King Drethros turned around and walked away.

Later that night, King Drethros had a weird dream. He was walking with his son in the palacegarden, when a bright light shined upon them and saw three shadows appearing in front of them. They where somekind of aliens in hovering pods. He heard a horrifying noise, when suddenly his son was gone. His son was just standing there, between the three aliens, doing nothing.
The king woke up.

Another fight was going on outside. But King Drethros is still wondering about his dream. What could it have meant?
Who where those creatures? He heard his wife running to his room. "It's awful, Drethros.",said his wife,"there wrecking the square". King Drethros ran to the square. He saw about 20 of his own people, who have been loyal to him in years, destroying the statue of his long gone father. He tried to summon his guards, but instead of doing something useful, they banged there heads against the wall. "The whole city has gone mad. What the hell is going on", thought King Drethros. It was quit. King Drethros saw his people staring at him. The mad Zealorians fell to the ground. Out of nowhere the sound he heard in his dream appeared. He looked up and saw a giant ship flying above him. The ship flew away. The sound had stopped. Drethros could do nothing. He turned around and saw his wife lying on the ground, unconsious. His son was staring at him. Drethros took his wife and son to the palace.

Drethros had the same dream again. But it was different. His people took the place of his son. He saw the three aliens with the Zealorians behind them. They where armed, armed with rifles. They had become monsters. Then suddenly he heard his son yelling. He was charging at the evil army with Drethros sword, that had been in the family for years. Unbreakable. But it broke. It was like he was hitting a wall.

It has been going on for months now. Every morning yelling and screaming, and then the noise. The noise. It just would'nt stop. Everytime he looked outside his window and he saw the ship. The aliens. He knew it was the aliens.
And everytime his people went mad and when they fell to the ground after wrecking something, they just vanished.

And everytime the same dream. He still wonders why his son changed role. Why his son is not captured. Maybe he altered something. Something important. Will we not defeat these aliens? Because my sword breaks. Or is it up to someone else. We still have to discover things.
Hyperspace brings my people far, but not far enough.
Why do i keep thinking about rings? Halo?
What is it? I saw a ring in the background of my dream.
Everytime i look into my sons eyes i see rings.
