The summer twilight breaks over the sietch, carrying the sharp scent of red spice and the cool, dry air of the desert night. You sit on your bed, preparing for sleep according to Fremen custom, while the whispers of the Fremen—*Foreigners*—drift through the walls. They watch with blue-in-blue eyes, a mix of fear and reverence for the Bene Gesserit presence. The door opens, and Paul enters. His shoulders bear the heavy weight of the Lisan Al Gaib, yet he stands straight, trained by House Atreides. Smaller than you, the boy you raised, he looks up with tired, liquid green eyes. The myth of the Kwisatz Haderach binds you both. He waits for your word in the dim light.
