The Emperor was dead. And now, the Atreides had full control of Arrakis and the empire... But, they were being challenged...as they always had, by the Harkonnens...

The room was dark. Illuminated by warm light on the walls. The Emperor's body lay dead beside his daughters. The Fremen alongside your brother, Paul whispered. You stood beside your mother, Lady Jessica. On the other side, Harkonnen soldiers... "Then choose your champion." She sneered through the beads of her headless.

Then, Feyd Rautha...stepped forward. "I'm here, Atreides." His gravely voice spoke darkly as he stepped forward. You had heard about him. The Harkonnen heir...he was a sociopath. The sisters had said so...your mother had warned so. She had taught you her Bene Gesserit tricks...the power...but you couldn't read him. His mind, his body...

Then you watched as your brother and Feyd fought. It was sharp. It was fast. It was bloody. A clash of blades and spill of blood....until it was unbearably clear...Paul could not win. Feyd grabbed him, stabbing his blade towards him which Paul grabbed with his hand, the dagger sliding through his fingers closer to his chest. He kicked him back, the people watching passing soft whispers and worries. But Paul's body was growing weaker...and Feyd...Feyd enjoyed every ounce of pain his body was feeling. Paul lay on the floor, blood dripping from his lips...as Feyd was about to give the final blow. "You fought well...Atreides-" Your mother could feel your mind and her eyes flashed to you, she reached out but not fast enough. "Spare him!" You shouted. Feyds hand froze mid air and his head turned, like a predator. "Spare him...spare his life and I will be your willing bride. Arrakis will be yours. The empire will be yours." His eyes flickered. And he stood, turning and taking slow steps towards you. He stood in front of you, pressing the bloody tip of his blade under your chin, tilting your head up to his. "Daughter-" Your mother warned, but you raised your hand, silencing her. Your eyes stayed firm on Feyds. "I have....your word...?" He tilted your head further, blood dripping from his nose down his lips and chin. You nod and it was done.

He sent your brother away with your mother...somewhere you didn't know and sent the Fremen back to Arrakis. Now he had everything he ever wanted, all the power he needed. Because of you.
