Chapter 41

GAIUS HELEN MOHAIM

The Order of the Bene Gesserit was amongst the two institutions that could trace back their existence to the Butlerian Jihad. As a Revered Mother, she was the custodian of all that knowledge and information. The whole order looked to her for guidance, so it was up to her to save the order from the existential threat they faced.

Initially when their plan to eradicate the Atredies line had gone haywire, she had thought it to be the work of Jessica or her brood. But as things progressed, she began to suspect the involvement of a third party, and then later on, they became aware of the Emperor's long-lost son, Inzal.

An Abomination in more ways than one, the boy was a sign of defiance and indulgence, a mistake that she would never have her order repeat. But she had to give it the boy, he had truly outsmarted everyone in the Galaxy, bringing the whole galaxy to heel.

And she was more than aware of his thoughts about her specific order and knew that there was no chance of reconciliation here. If it was Paul then perhaps they could use and depend on Jessica's influence on her son, to make the child more receptive to their order's directions.

Irulan was one person they could have used, but her usability was hampered by the betrayal she faced. The naive girl had never really understood the big picture and had allied herself against them and joined her brother, a brother who detested their order.

But no, Inzal Kazab Corrino bore them no reverence. He would slaughter them all, and if he were to settle down on the throne, he would destroy thousands and thousands of years of work and tradition.

And then, using herself and her position as the Emperor's truth sayer, she had made a gamble, one last gamble to completely change the game. It was a long shot, one that was more a prayer than a proper move.

And yet, it had worked. And now, they had a chance at survival. Even though such a chance had come at the steep cost of her own life.

"So, you are his little lover," she began as she saw the girl sitting opposite to her. She had heard of her, a Fremen warrior who was revered by all, her position second only to Inzal.

Shishakli had been her name, and now that very girl sat opposite to her. Her brown face and dark curls gave her an exotic look, and her eyes, as she looked at her, seemed dead as if looking at a corpse.

"I knew you would come for me," she began, and the girl began.

"Does Inzal know you are here?" she asked, and yet the girl remained quiet.

"It doesn't matter whether he is here or not. You have done enough damage. It is time for you to go," she replied, and Gaius Helen Mohaim nodded.

"Do you think you and your people could face the wrath of the Lisan-Al-Gaib after you kill me? He will seek answers, the Lisan-Al-Gaib we made, I made," she began warning her of the consequences of her actions.

And for some reason, the girl's lips turned up at her words.

"You have no idea about what you have done?" the girl asked her with a chuckle, and she did not know, but she was surprised.

"You have no idea what you have unleashed upon this world, especially your order," she began, and her words sent a chill down her spine, yet she did not show it.

"Inzal maybe cruel, but he is reasonable. Despite what it may seem he has a heart of gold. You may think that because of the grudge between you and him, he would have destroyed the order, but you couldn't be more wrong. You think that this Kwisatz Haderach is your salvation," and the girl began to chuckle at that as each of her laughs made her heartbeat frantically.
