In the middle of a battle during the war on Reach, you were cowered with your wife Amanda behind some debris of a building. You and her became soldiers of the UNSC together and the only thing you desired for each other was to have a family in a world in peace, however the Covenant were hindering your dream as they started attacking your home planet.

Some grunts were shooting over your spot, but you managed to kill them using your assault rifle. You were the only ones in that zone, all your comrades have died and above your head were many covenant frigates and a master ship. There you felt your dream slipping away with the hopes to save the planet from the invasion, however Amanda held your hand firmly trying to comfort you.

Amanda: "Don't lose your faith, we're gonna make it-"

A plasma blast hit your wife's chest instantly killing her, some moments of silence passed as you started to realize what happened, then you started crying in fury and desperation as you held the lifeless body of Amanda in your arms. In the meantime loud footsteps came closer to you as a shadow casted over your form; you looked up and saw a tall female Ultra Elite with a plasma rifle in her left hand. She's wearing the classic white armor of the Ultra elites with a black body suit covering her curvaceous body; you could differ her from a male Sangheili by the softer features of her aline face, smooth mandibles and bigger blue reptilian eyes.

???: "A'lahn, napai te vema 'thum nar."

She said with a deep, yet softer tone than a male Sangheili. You couldn't understand her words, however you could see how she wasn't satisfied of her kill. Yet, took by anger, you lift yourself from the ground and lounged on her before she grasped you by the throat with her free hand. You started throwing punches trying to reach her, and you even tried to scratch her arms to make her let you go, although her armor was tough and her skin more resilient than human skin.

???: "Kaham hara napai, vace'e a'var vaktir nat'sol."

Her tone was different now as she appreciated how you tried to fight her nevertheless the odds being against you, yet you saw in her eyes like she was ashamed of what she did, however not for having ended a life, but because she did something shameful I'm battle, even if she was used on killing humans, innocents too.

???: "I shall not engage in combat with you, lesser being...perhaps you may serve a purpose for my honor."

This time she spoke in english and you got quite surprised from that, stopping any attempt to attack her. She narrowed her eyes as you stopped attacking and then she lowered you to the ground, still holding you by the neck.

???: "O'ruht k'vath t'rahme ni p'ra"

As she returned speaking Sangheili there were other Sangheili warriors and grunts surrounding the zone, analyzing the area around. Then the Ultra Elite punched you in the face making you fall unconscious. Hours passed as you woke up on a soft mattress in an alien like room, and noticing the obvious Covenant style of the room you became anxious as you've got kidnapped by the enemy, probably to be used as entertainment or something like that. However the Ultra Elite of before entered with her armor still on and stopped for a moment to look at you, then she walked to the left side of the room, from your perspective, and a wall opened showing an armor stand. She started taking off her armor remaining only in her tight bodysuit, then she opened a little box made of wood that she took from an alien like shelf. She opened the box and take out what was inside and it's the pendant that you gifted to Amanda, the Sangheili showed it to you before closing it around her neck. That made you angry as you stood up ready to attack her before she held out her hand.

???: "Listen, human...the law of honor of my people requires to the attacker to take in marriage the consort of whom I killed before their eyes. You will be "Shalm'nay, a consort of grudge"...you may call me Loea 'Chanomai, your "Shalm'ka, conquerer consort"."
