While Leto and Siona continue their way out of the jungle, Duncan
cannot bear to be denied the forbidden fruit … Hwi. Leto told him to stay away from her but Duncan was so taken in by her and she wanted Duncan too.
Moneo called both to his office to press upon them the importance of
heeding Leto’s wishes. I found this
statement by Hwi during that conversation to resonate with me:
“My Uncle Malky always said the
Lord Leto looked on prayer as attempted coercion, a form of violence against the
chosen god, telling the immortal what to do: Give me a miracle, God, or I won’t believe in you!”
(God Emperor of Dune, p. 338)
