As Long As I Breathe || Paul Atreides by cordycepqueen

Beginnings are such delicate, fragile times. Especially for Elaine, who is still fairly new to the Freman yet has found herself trapped in the role of being a Sayyadina. This role is not only connected to a prophecy she couldn't care less about, but It also means she can't fight alongside the Freman, which is a fate worse than death in her eyes. She starts sneaking out at night to protect her people from minor enemies, because if she can't fight alongside them in the day, then she'll protect them at night.
