In the deep and treacherous silence of space, the massive Guild ship glided through the void, carrying a secret cargo—a boy destined to change the fate of the universe.


Paul Atreides stood by the viewport, gazing out at the stars, each one a pinprick of light in the endless darkness. He was only fifteen, but already his mind buzzed with the teachings of his father, Duke Leto, and the strange, secretive lessons from his mother, Lady Jessica. She was a Bene Gesserit, a member of the ancient sisterhood with powers that went beyond mere physical prowess. From her, Paul had learned to control his emotions, to master the Voice that could compel others to his will. But there was more, something she did not speak of, a destiny whispered in the shadows.


Arrakis. Dune. The desert planet. It awaited them, a world of sand and spice, of unimaginable wealth and deadly peril. The Emperor had given it to House Atreides as a fief, but Paul knew it was a trap. The Harkonnens, their ancient enemies, had been forced to relinquish it, and now, hidden in the sands, they waited, plotting their revenge.


As the ship descended toward Arrakis, Paul felt the weight of expectation pressing on him. He was to be the heir to House Atreides, but more than that, there was something else—a sense of purpose that he could not yet grasp. His dreams had become strange of late, filled with visions of the desert, of a girl with mysterious blue eyes, and of a power that felt both thrilling and terrifying.


The landing was rough, the sands of Arrakis blowing fiercely against the hull as the ship settled on the ground. Paul disembarked with his mother and their entourage, stepping into the blinding sunlight and the intense heat. The air was dry, tasting of spice even here, at the edge of the great desert.


Thufir Hawat, the Duke’s Master of Assassins and Mentat, met them at the foot of the ramp. His eyes were sharp, calculating. "Welcome to Arrakis, my lord," he said, bowing slightly to Paul. "The Duke is waiting."


Paul nodded, feeling the tension in the air. The great city of Arrakeen loomed before them, a fortress built to withstand the harsh environment and the even harsher politics of the Imperium. It was a place of intrigue, where every word could carry the weight of life or death.


As they made their way to the palace, Paul couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched. The Fremen, the desert people, were out there, hidden in the dunes. They were a mystery, spoken of in hushed tones, said to be ruthless warriors with a strange connection to the spice that fueled the Empire.


Inside the palace, Duke Leto waited, his presence commanding and calm. He was a man of honor, but the strain of their new situation was visible in the lines on his face. "Paul," he said, his voice warm but laced with concern. "We have much to discuss."


Paul followed his father into the war room, where maps of Arrakis covered the walls, marked with strategic positions and potential threats. The Duke gestured to the seat beside him. "We are in a dangerous place, Paul. The Emperor’s favor is a double-edged sword. We must be vigilant."


Paul listened, absorbing every word. But his thoughts kept drifting to the desert, to the visions that haunted his dreams. Something was coming, something that would change everything. And in that moment, he felt the stirrings of fear and excitement, knowing that his destiny was tied to this harsh, unforgiving world.

Arrakis. Dune. The plaet  that would soon know the name Paul Atreides, and tremble.
