| {{Quote|The [[Halo universe]] is so rich and complex. I found the Forerunners captivating, and really enjoyed writing them. I loved being able to focus in on some characters that people already knew, and answering the question, 'so what happened after that?'|Christie Golden{{Ref/Reuse|bbb}}}}

| '''''Promises to Keep''''' is one of several short stories in ''[[Halo: Fractures|Halo: Fractures: Extraordinary Tales from the Halo Canon]]''. Written by [[Christie Golden]], the story takes place in the closing days of known [[Forerunner]] history following the events of [[Greg Bear]]'s ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]'',<ref name="bbb">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/books-browsers-and-big-team '''Halo Waypoint''' - '' Books, Browsers, and Big Team'']</ref> as a group of surviving Forerunners embark on a perilous journey to the devastated [[Maethrillian|capital world]] of the [[ecumene]] in order to restore the [[Domain]]. Due to the revelation of [[Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns]] being [[000 Tragic Solitude]], it has narrative connections to ''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''. | |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| The name of the story "Promises to Keep" was inspired by [[Wikipedia:Robert Frost|Robert Frost]]'s poem, "[[Wikipedia:Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening|Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening]]", and the line, "''for I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep''".<ref>[http://paulsemel.com/exclusive-interview-halo-fractures-authors-matt-forbeck-christie-golden-troy-denning/ '''Paul Semel''' - ''Exclusive Interview: Halo Fractures Authors Matt Forbeck, Christie Golden, And Troy Denning'']</ref>
