"No. It cannot be. You are this…Reclaimer. I must atone for the ignorance of my brothers, I must atone for not attending to their contrived masochism. I was once like my brothers. Twisted minds filled with falsities of this so-called “Great Journey”. That was nothing more than a miss-interpretation of a once triumphant objective. The Forerunners were never wrong in what they had done, but for those actions to be attempted again, without proper knowledge would have be very foolish. The Forerunners had prepared for the Rings’ detonation. Had we? Had we kept, sorted, and categorized so that we may reseed all sentient life once the second coming of the Flood was finished? This so called Guilty Spark was not an Oracle, nothing more than a insipid dolt. I am glad to see that he is no more. I stood by and watched you, Reclaimer, accomplish great feats and I thank you for that.
But, that is why I am here…to warn you. He has come to reclaim what is his.

This is just a little something I thought up. Not really fanfiction. Just more of a “what-if”…really. What if one of the Prophets that are still out there (there are actually quite a few outside of those killed in the main games) atoned for his sins and tried to contact MC?
