Halo: Legacy Of Onyx Novels & Stories

​ANG PAGTITIPON NG LAKAS ​Sa labas ng palasyo, si Xander ay muling nagsuot ng isang pansamantalang exoskeleton mula sa mga labi ng mga Sentinels. Sa tabi niya ay ang Black Legion na pinamumunuan ni Jojo at Vargo (na nakarating mula sa Mars gamit ang isang nakaw na dropship). ​"Legion! Protektahan ang palasyo!" sigaw ni Xander. "Huwag ninyong hayaang makalapit ang mga ground troops ng Hari sa mga Obelisk! Liam needs time!"

"You killed him. You killed them all." Ravel raises her shovel. "Back. Off." The static whispers: *This is your legacy. Ashes and hate.* --- **The Horizon** At dusk, a new signal pierces the sky-a beam of crimson light, miles wide. The ground splits, revealing a city buried for eons, its spires alive with Arbor Prime tech. Eleanor's voice echoes from the ruins. **"You can't outrun the Cycle, Kelly. But you can still be a good mother.**

Across every screen, in brutal white letters, a message blazed: Tag acquired. Retrieval authorized. Nyxara laughed, a sound that started low and grew wild, edged with something ancient and dangerous. “Oh,” she whispered, soft as snowfall, deadly as a blade in the dark. “So that’s your game.” She straightened to her full height, wiped the blood from her mouth, and let her eyes blaze with the impossible light of her legacy—violet and white, fury and power. “You just made yourselves easy to find.”

She could see the effect it would have on the people when they were reminded of the number of people that died during the last blood moon—their fear, their anger—and everyone's emotions bottled up would definitely explode, and they would attack the twin Alphas. Aaron, who also had a grudge against both Alphas who had suppressed him all those years, couldn't help the grin that appeared on his face. "Consider it done, My Queen." *** "We've gathered all the materials needed to make the mini halo," Leonardo announced to the elders, his eyes scanning their faces for varying reactions before he continued. "However, we should inform you all that the mini halo could only be used once, and the search

First it was fragrance. A chocolate musk mixed with aftershave. Then a man stepped in. With all his Alpha glory, emitting dominance. Lyra seemed to be an eye person, as she always seemed tonoticed the eye of everyone she met. Her violet ones, met his grey ones. It seemed like the world had stopped as she let his scent invade her senses. He smelled of the forest and weirdly, a trace of the aroma ofraspberry and white chocolate cupcakes. “Alpha Callum” she heard her Dad whisper in the background.

NIGHT. HALO engages night and heat vision, watching the mercenaries become red figures against the intense brightness of the night-vision in his optics. He unholsters then raises his rifle, and a light sound of metal emanates as he disperses one of the quarter-sized disks. It falls in the centre of the enclosure, and one mercenary looks down. Shining his flashlight on the ground. He sees it, grows alarmed as his head tilts in confusion, but he picks it up and sticks it in his pocket.

“Orion promised his daughter in a treaty that he failed to honour. I’d say giving me the daughter rectifies that.” I gasp. Knox was the man my grandfather chose? I shake my head refusing to believe it. “It’s true I did agree to it.” Orion says and I glare at him. Since when did he get here? “I was a fool, and idiot. I have since learnt the error of my ways. I once believed as you did Alpha Knox, that we needed to create a super race, but now I know we shouldn’t interfere in such things. My granddaughter is happy with her mates. She has only just been marked by them. She would not have been able to conceive until she was fully marked so it is premature to expect her to already be with pup.”

“You know it’s not that simple, not to mention this legacy my mother’s always going on about.” “What’s the point of being king of Lycans and werewolves if you can’t do what’s best for us?” Frost countered, his tone turning serious. “Tell me, what’s more important: that legacy or your happiness?” Frost eased up on the teasing, speaking more earnestly.
