Chapter 04

Post by Freakzilla »

Oh, the landscapes I have seen! And the people! The far wanderings of the Fremen
and all the rest of it. Even back through the myths to Terra. Oh, the lessons in
astronomy and intrigue, the migrations, the disheveled flights, the leg aching
and lung-aching runs through so many nights on all of those cosmic specks where
we have defended our transient possession. I tell you we are a marvel and my
memories leave no doubt of this.

-The Stolen Journals

We meet Nayla, Leto's spy in Siona's rebellion, as she types a report on a computer, warning of Siona's dangerous activities, pleading him to release her from her vow of obedience to her. She thinks about a communication implant Leto put into her. Nayla meets with Topri and Siona, who show her a poem Leto wrote when Ghani died along with a flower she gave him and a strand of her hair.

Nayla confesses when pressed by Siona that she has sworn to Leto that she would obey Siona. Nayla experiences a test of faith when Siona doesn't react as she had expected her to.

Siona closes the chapter with, "Yes! He is capable of love. Oh, yes! We have him now."
They were destroyed because they lied pretentiously. Have no fear that my wrath
will fall upon you because of your innocent mistakes.

~Leto II, God Emperor
