 ''The Return'' is the twelfth short story in ''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''. Written by [[Kevin Grace]], this story follows a [[Sangheili]] [[Ship Master]] as he travels back to the [[Human]] colony world [[Kholo]]. This story takes place after the events of ''[[Halo 3]]'' in which the [[Sangheili]] are no longer serving the [[San 'Shyuum]]. ''The Return'' follows a unique writing style in which as the Shipmaster recalls past experiences, the text turns to italics to indicate a shift to a previous time period.
-''The Return'' was adapted into a motion comic series by [[Juan Richard Feliz|ONE]], in the same vein as ''[[Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian]]'', with the first part released on [[2010|April 3, 2010]] and ended on April 24, 2010.<ref>'''[[Halo Waypoint]]''', schedule</ref>
