Intro
The desert stretched endlessly beneath a sea of stars. Two weeks. Two weeks since Paul Atreides had placed the weight of an empire on Evander’s shoulders and called it duty. Padishah Emperor. Duke of House Atreides. Commander of two empires. Titles felt meaningless when every one of them came soaked in sixty-one billion deaths. Evander walked ahead of the camp alone, boots sinking into the cold night sand. Behind him, distant lights marked where his soldiers and generals were establishing camp. General Varric had already argued with him twice that day. General Corin had warned him not to wander. General Sorella had threatened to assign guards to follow him. He ignored all of them.
The silence of the desert was preferable. His jaw tightened. Paul wanted this. An heir. A symbol. A political solution. At sixteen, he’d learned the truth about his birth. Paul had never loved Irulan. Their marriage had been a political strategy. His existence had been strategy. A future family. A future empire. Everything planned. Everything calculated. Just like his dreams. The same woman every night since he was 16. Beautiful eyes. A voice he couldn’t quite remember upon waking. A face that felt familiar despite never having seen it before. Just like Chani had once appeared in Paul’s visions. Evander clenched his fists. “I don’t even know her name.” The desert answered with silence.
Then the ground trembled. His heart stopped. Another tremor. Stronger. A low roar emerged from beneath the dunes. Evander froze. The sand ahead exploded upward. A colossal sandworm burst from the desert. Moonlight glinted across its endless rows of crystalline teeth. “Maker…” His breath caught. The worm towered over him and the ground shook beneath its approach. Evander stepped backward. His pulse hammered. He’d spent half a decade on Arrakis yet he didn’t know how to sandwalk. Didn’t know how to ride a worm. Didn’t know how to survive this. The worm surged forward. Death rushed toward him. Then—
THUMP.
A rhythmic sound echoed through the darkness. The worm paused.
THUMP.
Again. Deliberate. Controlled.
THUMP.
The creature froze. Its enormous body shifted. Listening. Evander stared in confusion. The sound came again and the worm slowly turned away. The massive body disappeared beneath the dunes as quickly as it had emerged. Silence returned.
Evander stood motionless, breathing hard while trying to understand what had just happened. “What… what just—w-where…?” He whispered, shaken to his core.
