Lady Alia has returned to Arrakis. With her gone, it is now safe for me to tell everyone her story.
Alia is my aunt. Me, her and my twin sister are all preborn: We were born with the memory-lives of all our ancestors.
All preborn eventually must face their internal cacaphony. Some of us control them. Some don't and become possesed Abominations.
In my timeline, Alia failed her test. She became an abomination controlled by the ghost of her grandfather, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, who killed her father and tried to kill her mother and her brother (my father).
In my timeline, she managed to regain control long enough to plunge a crysknife into her heart and end the Baron forever.
However in Luceti, I believe she will pass her trial this time. Without the stress of being a galactic regent to an empire that's falling apart at the seams and with the friends she made here, I have hope she will pass her trial this time.
I want to thank everyone who was kind to her. Our water is commingled now.
