(*1)    I stumbled and fell, clutching my side. I just layed there, unarmed and bloody, for what seemed like an eternity. Cygnus stepped forward and set his boot on my shoulder. He pointed the reaper down at my head. I chuckled.
"So this is how it ends isnt it? No ceremonies. No Honors. Just another nameless victim of a pointless crusade. Just another demon slain." I said, letting some blood drip from the corner of my mouth. Cygnus pulled the bolt back and slammed it forward, loading a round into the chamber. I chuckled again.
"Go ahead, kill me. Slay your demon. It wont change anything. It wont end the bloodshed. It wont end the pain." I said, pausing to catch my breath.

The rain started to pick up. The sound of the drops sizzling on the smouldering ruins of the building was actually kind of relaxing in a sense. Cygnus took a step back, keeping the rifle pointed at my head.

"I knew this day would come." I said smartly, slowly getting up on my hands and knees, "It was only a matter of time." He just stood there. Blood trickled from my mouth. It hurt to breathe. I chuckled softly, but all that did was send a wave of pain from my ribs. I cringed, letting the pain subside.
  "Tell me Cygnus... Yeah. I know your name. Tell me... Did you bastards ever expect this? That your worst nightmare was one of your own? That humanities greatest hope was one of the enemy? Did you ever have a fucking inkling?!"
I was starting to raise my voice and I could tell his patience was wearing thin. We fell silent once again, both of us soaked with rain and blood. My hair ran straight, water dripping from the tips. I slowly raised my ear. I could hear the faint sound of him putting his finger on the trigger. I smiled and flicked my right ear twice.
  "Go ahead. Do it. You'll learn. Cygnus..." I paused and looked up at him. "You don't fuck with a Spartan."
He pulled the trigger...
This is the "finished" version of the prologue for my story. Im quite happy with it and I'm hoping I can add it in to the actual main story later on.

*EDIT* Ive added a song for the prologue.
Song 1 (*1) "Without Warning" by Dokken
