(Edict by the High Prophet of Mercy: “This instructional rhyme is to be taught to and memorized by the offspring of all species within the Covenant. This rhyme is to help further the youngest minds ability to understand and honor both our Sacred Covenant and the Great Journey. Failure to comply will result in the restriction of rations for every day cycle that an offspring is unable to correctly recite the rhyme.”)
The Great Journey!
By our steady faith we stand,
Guided by their Holy Hand,
The Sacred Rings to Ignite,
To Shed upon the Path their Light.
Forerunner Gods watchful be,
Of our journey that you see,
Leading to our great Salvation,
Deeming us worthy without deprivation.
As we purify each world,
Its burnt remains bent and curled,
With the use of our flaming rain,
We cleans them of their human stain.
An Oracle’s wisdom we do seek,
To follow is guidance, Holy and Meek.
To find and secure the Sacred Icon,
Then burn and burn till the parasite is gone.
The Sacred rings and their Light,
The Forerunner Gods in their Might,
Left behind the Holy Story,
The Sacred Journey that leads to Glory!
I would appreciate it if those who read this let me know what they think.
Sounds like more of a Sangheilli (?) chant than Covenant. Sounds good though.
Am I the only one who read this in a grunts voice? xD
And pictured them singing and dancing to this. .-.

You are not alone in this.

Actually I was trying to get Mercy to say this in my head but yours sounds way more fun!
| Very well done OPREDD! I’m sure the Prophets/San 'Shyuum would be very pleased with this ode to the Great Journey. I can imagine them or other followers chanting this in unison at some sort of holy service or before a battle.
Please continue in procuring these passages that delve into the Covenant’s lives.
On a side note, what inspired you to “find” this? |

OPSABLE, I thought it would be amusing to delve deeper into the mind set of the lower casts of the Covenant Hegemony, so I began to dig through what we have been able to recover from their data net concerning their belief system and teachings. I sort of wanted to understand what would lead a space faring civilization like the Kig-Yar to submit to Covenant religious practices, or what would command such life sacrificing obedience from the Unggoy. If you are interested, I could continue my “Research” and see what else I can dig up.
| Interesting, well I’d certainly love to see more of this information as you come to “find” it.
Please take your time, as I know it can sometimes be difficult to find these older logs.
Best of luck OPREDD! |
