Family life of the Royal Creche is difficult for many people to understand, but I shall try to give you a capsule view of it. My father had only one read friend, I think. That was Count Hasimir Fenring, the genetic-eunuch and one of the deadliest fighters in the Imperium. The Count, a dapper and ugly little man, brought a new slave-concubine to my father one day and I was dispatched by my mother to spy on the proceedings. One of the slave-concubines permitted my father under the Bene Gesserit-Guild agreement could not, of course, bear a Royal Successor, but the intrigues were constant and oppressive in their similarity. We became adept, my mother and sisters and I, at avoiding subtly instruments of death. It may seem a dreadful thing to say, but I'm not at all sure my father was innocent in all these attempts. Royal Family is not like other families. Here was a new slave-concubine, then, red-haired like my father, willowy and graceful. She had a dancer's muscles, and her training obviously had included neuro-enticement. My father looked at her for a long time as she postured unclothed before him. Finally he said: "She is too beautiful. We will save her as a gift." You have no idea how much consternation this restraint created in the Royal Creche. Subtlety and self-control were, after all, the most deadly threats to us all.

I drove my feet through a desert

Whose mirage fluttered like a host.

Voracious for glory, greedy for danger,

I roamed the horizons of al-Kulab,

Watching time level mountains

In its search and its hunger for me.

And I saw the sparrows swiftly approach,

Bolder than the onrushing wolf.

They spread in the tree of my youth.

I heard the flock in my branches.

And was caught on their beaks and claws!

I'd like to hear a bit about the Indiana Comic Con. I've been saying for years, to anyone that would listen, that Indianapolis is the largest and most thriving city that doesn't have a decent con.

 

No slight intended to Andy Ash's shows, but they have been the same since the late eighties.

 

I am super stoked!!!!!

If it were in Gary they'd get a lot of Chicago traffic.
