been instilled into her as it had been into her Freroen ancestors Two days into the Sareer, with six more travel days ahead, she was still walking the sands with the face mask of her suit down, allowing the moisture of her breath to escape into the air as she and the God Emperor argued about the Dune days and Leto's nght to rule Only Leto's reminder, in the words of the old Fremen admonition to children ("Guard every breath for it carries the warmth and moisture of your life*), made her seal the mask shut, but not until the morning of the third day With so far yet to travel Leto knew, Siona would never survive without additional moisture And she was not carrying water On the fifth day, compelled by thirst and the still urgent, need to understand the one she opposed, Siona underwent the second phase of her testing Directed by Leto, she stroked the naps of die cowl which clung about his face, drawing drops of sptce-essence-laced water to the surface of his sandtrout skin Then fighting down the fear of the effect the spice would have on her, she drank The melange affected her m less than a minute, sending her into a deep spice-trance She tapped at the front segment of Leto's pre-worm form, causing him to make a hammock of it for her as he had during their previous sleep periods, then climbed in and abandoned herself to the trance Though she was later to write much about this period of history, Siona sever detailed her experiences during her hours of trance Leto, in his Journals, indicated only that she had seen fax more of the horrific futuie-that-mignt-have-bcen than any Atreides other than himself had Even the sight of those horrors had not convinced her that he had been nght to initiate the Golden Path She did not regain normal consciousness for slightly over ten hours While she did not display the immediate shift of loyalty to the God Emperor as her father had done, Siona had been sensitized to the Golden Path and survived the ordeal, ( thus fulfilling Leto's demand The two of I them completed their journey, arriving three days later at the Citadel Siona was given new clothes, refreshments, and a brief rest before she and Leto returned to Onn At no time during this recovery period, according to the Journals did she speak to her com panion Her sensitizing had made Siona no less rebellious, if anything, the knowledge of this latest encroachment on her personal life enraged her When her father sent her to Tuono Village with Nayla and Duncan Idaho, intending to keep her as far away as possible from the God Emperor s wedding she left reluctantly Only when she discovered that the ceremony's location had been switched from Tabr to Tuono Village, giving her a chance to attack Leto, did Siona bnghten The plotting and execution of the Fall in 13724 have been thoroughly studied elsewhere and need not be repeated here After those events concluded however, and Siona found herself in a new universe-one which did not include Leto II-she discovered that a successful rebellion required more than the overthrow of a ruler, however great a tyrant that ruler might have been It required a reassignment of power and the ability to control that power Siona, much to her chagrin, discovered that she could not channel the force she had released alone, she needed help Duncan Idaho provided it Their partner ship took on a more personal shape in 10728 when they were married, using the ancient ritual from the Oral History Over the next twenty years, Siona bore the eleven children (nine daughters and two sons) who earned her ability to disappear from prescient view Although history indicates that Idaho had come to love his mate very deeply, he refused to follow Siona s lead m ingesting large enough doses to melange to prolong his life (He is reported to have said that he had already lived far longer than he had any nght to-undoubted!) a reference to the long line of Duncan Idaho gholas the God Emperor had ordered produced ) He died m 13791, severing the last link to the days of Paul Muad'Dib Atreides one of his earliest acts following Leto's death had been the destmc tion of the cell cultures from which the ATREIDES-CORRINO, IRULAN 103 ATREIDES-CORRINO, IRQLAN gholas were produced, thus ensuring that it would be a final death.
