Duncan Generation 19 Unforseen

A charming voice passed through his senses like music in the air. Satisfaction filled his nerves, the words came and went, passed over him as if waves of air had just lightly blown. The dust scent filled his nostrils and at that moment he knew himself. At that moment hundreds of lives passed through his emotions and mind. And again he found his true self before him. Wiry and fatigue instantly shocked his nerves to life, to his awaken life. The still suit compressing his skin all of a sudden became a burden. Even with its cleanliness and lack of water reserves, it still, at least to his mind felt heavy with blood, lust, and duty.

Leto towered over Duncan in underground chamber speaking in mid conversation that Duncan was not fully aware of. Though the memories filled in the rest.

"As with every devote General, Duncan you will serve with impunity over my Fish Speakers."

"Leto.."

Leto abruptly stopped speaking waiting for question from newest Ghola..

"Leto.."

"Duncan speak please.. You are never not allowed."

The heavy voice of command echoed in the chamber.

"Leto.."

Leto fell silent. The awakening of Duncan had been somewhat of a surprise, the timing had been off, an evation of the God Emperors prescience. An interesting tactic by the Thielaxu.

"Leto.. This ends here."

"Duncan mind who you are talking too." The voice so heavy with Atreidies authority stunned Duncan for a moment.

"Leto.. This burden can no longer fall on me.."

"It is a gift Duncan.. Never forget! Life with the God Emperor is nothing more and nothing less than a gift."

"Leto.. I am aware of our atrocities. I am aware of the golden path...I can not anymore."

Leto's face sat calmly on top the worm body. But the tail.. The tail rattled from side to side.

"The Golden Path is for me and me only to understand. Your human mind can never fathom it's true cause."

"Leto, you mean to suppress humanity until they are ready to take care of themselves."

Leto sat silent. The tail only twitched.

"You've no more control over them than I do."

Leto sat staring for a long moment at Duncan..

"Duncan, do not challenge me at this time. There is much that you must do."

"No Leto.. No! I do not have to do anything anymore.. I am a Freeman and I have lived my life. Many times over. Duncan's voice becoming more confident at each passing moment."

Leto's voice lowered and calmed. "Duncan you have just awoken. You have years, a new life to look forward too."

"I don't want it. Please..."

Angered Leto replied, "Do not beg me Duncan!"

"Please Leto, just leave me alone. And let me return to the desert." Ducan's heart dropped at the memories of the wind blown sands with his love standing in front of them, turning with those eyes.

Leto in his fury re-leaved Duncan to what was left of the desert. Allowing Duncan to see that in this era, there is no desert to return too. Duncan would suffer in this fact alone and gain little satisfaction. He could wonder for ever and never die in the desert, his sycophants won't allow it.

In Letos new vision, Duncan roams the old Freeman cities for years before setting down in what use to be the deep desert. It will be as harsh a life as is allowed in this time.

Leto would turn his aggression to the Tlielaxu as was the pattern with the unexpected results of the Gholas. How they could bare Leto's constant wrath is unknown.
