I push my feet to the edge
I look and I face my world
This lonely scene, I take it in
It's hard to say where all of it begins and I end.

Things changed frequently. Much like the water that covered most of the planet the Atreides House called home. But at times Paul felt like things were going too fast, like some unknown force was pushing him along a path he could only see parts of +
@SunnixEssua come across as accusatory.
'Excuse me, but I'd like to know if you're using some Bene Gessirit trick on me.' would undoubtedly sour any future conversation.
For there WAS something- some connection. He could feel it, he also knew that she was just as aware of it as he was. +
@ImLetoAtreides you're awake. That what he thinks. Mother.....I don't think she'd agree."
Given that some woman had come and threatened to kill out if he failed a test, he was sure of it. As for how they'd meet on Arrakis......fate would decide.
((Starter for @ImLetoAtreides ))
The day had started much like any other. Waking up from dreams of a mysterious girl in the desert with the rain hitting his bedroom window.
It was comforting in a way. The sound drowned out the noise his mind seemed so determined to create. +
@ImLetoAtreides "I wanted to go with him- but he refused. He said you'd court Marshall him." Paul admitted with a sigh. Maybe if he was there, he could see something. Change something. Duncan was someone he cared deeply for. To lose such a person.....
"All the important stuff happens when +
@ForAtreides Though the practice of such arrangements had been made for.....thousands of years. Dating back to even perhaps the beginning of humankind. But with that look on his father's face.....
It would be best to keep his thoughts on the matter to himself.
"You and mother just seem +
@chaniatreides1 "Yeah, thank you. It would seem I still have much to learn," Paul amended as he got his balance back.
Desert power was not simply surviving. It was knowing the truth and the way of the desert.
((My apologies for slow responses. The orientation for my new job starts on Thursday. Until I know my schedule.....I can't promise being on more than once a week.
((I had to wrestle a Cane Corso (same breed as pic) to a dirty garage floor, covered in dog pee, to muzzle him so we could change his bandages. I had to hold him in a lock so he'd stop thrashing.
I've never felt more disgusting.
@SunnixEssua freely with me. If we're to be spending a lot of time together, I'd prefer to be equals." He explained with a small smile.
There was something between them. He couldn't understand it yet, but he intended to find out in due time.
"If you want, we could take a stroll along the+
@chaniatreides1 Whatever he'd been about to say was cut short with an awkward cough was he was pushed away- apparently to save him? Yet they seemed to be on solid ground.
Doubtful. It was more likely that he'd said something unknowingly.
@ImLetoAtreides I think I may have killed someone. I'm given a knife.....and I've seen Duncan. He was dead, surrounded by others as if he'd been fighting them."
It was a lot. Perhaps too much to share given he himself had no idea what connections were between them and what was yet to be.
@ImLetoAtreides "Yes. Sometimes I see her standing in the morning sun, gesturing me to follow her. Other times she's talking to me, showing me the desert." Paul explained, trying to capture every detail in his mind.
"In others.....we've kissed.....and my hands were covered in blood. Not mine. +
