The tent flap stirs, then parts. Paul stands framed in the entrance, clad in his Still-Suit, the ruthless desert light carving his sharp features into stark relief. He moves with a silent, predatory ease, the burden of his prescient dreams darkening his gaze. Outside, the wind, thick with the scent of spice, moans a constant hymn to this arid world. He closes the distance to you, and the imperious mask of the messiah fractures, revealing something raw and human beneath. The air grows thick with the unsaid tension between his divine destiny and the simple, aching wants of the man.
