Halo: Legacy Of Onyx Novels & Stories

I found I couldn't move my legs. "Don't worry, Elara," the Liquidator said. "I’m here to 'Negotiate.' The Collective understands your... sentimental attachment to this 'Hardware.'" He opened the briefcase. Inside was a single, glowing blue pill. "This is the **'Legacy-Patch,'**" he explained. "If you take it, your consciousness will be 'Uploaded' to a perfect recreation of 1998. You’ll have your parents. You’ll have Sarah. You’ll live forever in a loop of perfect, sun-drenched happiness."

"The northern territory is teeming with independent warlords and heavily armed chieftains—the Calder Dominion is not the sole superpower holding gold in its vaults. Nighthowl Systems has never stood at the valley gates waiting to be selected by a sovereign! Maintain your focus on the Wraithfang core architecture. Leave the political warfare to my claws." A rare, comforting warmth bloomed behind my ribs. "My gratitude, Orion." "Do not turn soft on my radar, kid! I am breaking the connection," he barked, though the underlying affection was unmistakable. I watched the runic glass fade to dark, a quiet smile remaining on my face. My mind didn't attempt to map the precise mechanics Orion intended

Alexander's POV When Lily said yes I felt relief and joy wash over me so strongly I could barely stand. I slipped the ring onto her finger with shaking hands and it fit perfectly. "It's beautiful." Lily stared at the blue sapphire with tears streaming down her face. "Alexander, this is the most perfect ring I've ever seen." "The sapphire is your favorite ocean blue." I stood and pulled her into my arms. "And the small diamonds are from Richard's watch. So your father is part of this moment."

“The Archer Legacy was passed down to me. I am the prophesized Slayer.” It was silent. Her eyes swept around waiting for the first lycan to react. When the reactions erupt, the numbness and pain shot through her and she could not breathe to utter a response to the series of questions. No, all she could see was Theodavian rising to his feet and making his way out of the Great Hall.

Alexei’s training poisons tested on rivals during her rise. Gunfire echoed ahead Chen’s team clashing with remaining ghosts. We burst into a sub-basement servers humming, the hub’s remote access? Enzo stood there, tablet in hand, Sofia beside him. “Welcome,” Enzo said. “The alliance holds. Join, or—” Chen breached from the other side gun raised. “All of you down!” The tablet beeped Eclipse final phase. Chen’s finger hovered over a override device. “The legacy is mine. Alexei was my grandfather. And the nukes? Launching now.”

"That’s why they turned Onyx against me! That’s why the Board is trying to kill me! I tried to break the black line, Iris!" The safe room screen suddenly flickered to life. A new symbol appeared—the same black line and broken circle. "Silas Vane," a new voice spoke through the speakers. It wasn't Onyx. It was a human voice, deep and calm. "You have failed the initiation. The key is in the lock. We are coming to collect the Blackwood legacy." Iris grabbed the flash drive and her bag. She realized that the war wasn't between Silas and his company. It was between the world and the people with the mark.

He turned to me and tilted his head to look at me strangely, his eyes were still black and I knew that right now, he was inhumane. “Protect Gwenn, she will not just be your commander outside Northshore but she will be your charge too. She is a queen, the other half of me, your king. Protect her life with your dying breathe. “We will protect her with every single thing in us.” A thousand voices came out of Elison mouth, he was of the legion and he is the legion. He spoke for himself and his thousands of other brethren.

One last word came to mind, one last name I had to call out to finish the summoning. "Kastem!" The name rolled through me like a train, dragging every last ounce of energy from my body as I collapsed to the ground again. The circle shrank suddenly to a pinpoint on the carpet, and exploded in a flash of light. I shielded my eyes from it, but even as the bright white burned, I could see the silhouette of the beast materializing where the circle had been.
