Chapter 07

Post by Freakzilla »

The Fremen see her as the Earth Figure, a demigoddess whose special charge is to
protect the tribes through her powers of violence. She is Reverend Mother to
their Reverend Mothers. To pilgrims who seek her out with demands that she
restore virility or make the barren fruitful, she is a form of antimentat. She
feeds on that proof that the "analytic" has limits. She represents ultimate
tension. She is the virgin-harlot -- witty, vulgar, cruel, as destructive in her
whims as a coriolis storm.

-St. Alia of the Knife as taken from The Irulan Report

Alia looks down on the pilgrams and venders scornfully from her Fane. She wonders who is feeding the Dune Tarot to the public. She misses the Dessert. She returns to her private chambers and strips down to nothing but a crystknife in a thong around her neck and takes a bath. She starts feeling horny then jumps from the bath to adjoining training room and activates a fencing prism. She takes the fencing prism to a dangerously high skill level until Paul turns it off with a thrown knife. Stilgar is with him and makes note of how Alia badly needs a man. Paul tells Alia that he suspects that his enemies are about to try to capture a worm and take it from Arrakis. Paul and Alia explain to Stilgar the limits of their prescience.
They were destroyed because they lied pretentiously. Have no fear that my wrath
will fall upon you because of your innocent mistakes.
