Okay, so ive finally decided to update this story, as i have finally found all of these random notebook pages that ive written on in the the past year or so. So now ive decided to put up all of them. I know this is just a short chapter, but its kind setting up to the other things that ive written.
Twin moons of Arrakis cast an eerie glow over the palace walls. Leto gazed at the cold granite, fascinated by the blue and yellow light playing off of the detailed stone. So many thoughts ran through his mind. He knew that simply getting rid of Alia would not eradicate all of their problems, there were still many followers of the radical religion centered on his father that refused to stray from their beliefs. But for the past two years since Alia's death there had been almost no trouble. All of the Alia's followers had either given up, or had fled to the outer reaches of the universe, waiting for a day that they would be able to take control. Of course, that day would never come under Leto's rule. Lanara was right; things were too quiet, too peaceful. Instating her into the High Council might change all of that. None of the advisors would approve of it. Even in these modern times they still looked down upon women in power, especially after Alia and the Bene Gesserit's corruption. They would like the fact that she was Leto's lover even less. Though they tried to keep their relationship a secret, everyone in the palace knew about it. Leto looked down at the woman sleeping silently beside him, the glow of the moonlights casting causing the planes and lines of her face to light up and take on an ethereal appearance. Who knew that the God Emperor of Dune could be brought to his knees by a single woman? But that is the thing about love. He may have been the savior of the Universe, the most powerful creature alive, but he would have given his life for her. Now his duty to the Universe and his love for Lanara would battle for precedence in his mind.
So what is Leto going to do? Do what the one he love wants? Or what his sense of duty tells him to do?Don't worry, the next post should be a rather long one. Always remember to R&R. thanks guys!
