But, Mother, I saw it, and it’s true.
Yes, it’s true.
I hate them.
Alia.
They stare at me.
They whisper when I pass.
It hurts my feelings.
They’re confused, Alia.
You frighten them.
Because I’m a freak.
You’re not a freak. Who has said that?
No one.
Then don’t you ever say it again.
My children are not freaks.
But I can’t help it.
I just know things,
things I shouldn’t know, but I just do.
It was a cruel thing I did to you, Alia.
I took the Water of Life
when you were still in my womb.
No one should ever be wakened
to consciousness as you were.
But we’ll make them understand, Alia.
We’ll make them see
that you’re not just a little girl…
…that you’ve never really been one.
I want my brother.
What is it?
He came to challenge you in open combat.
You killed him?
I took care of it.
But he came to challenge me.
He wasn’t worthy, Muad’dib.
Otheym, get Stilgar.
Tell him to summon the Maker.
There is only one way
to stop these challenges.
You know what this will mean,
between you and Stil.
The men will want you to call him out.
