  Summary

  “If this is love, I do not want it. Take it away, please! Why does it hurt so much?”

  Her heart has been shattered into a million tiny pieces, so Chani scatters those along the dry dune desert on her way south. As far away from him as possible. Out of his reach and those bewitching soulful eyes of his.

  “Damnned be the day I meet you, Paul Atreides.”

  She likes to think that maybe from the fragments of her sadness something beautiful will grow in the sands of her homeworld. Maybe, just maybe, it will be her sorrow which finally manages to fertilize the deadly sands of Arrakis.
