Chapter 48

What is the most immediate danger to my stewardship? I will tell you. It is a
true visionary, a person who has stood in the presence of God with the full
knowledge of where he stands. Visionary ecstasy releases energies which are like
the energies of sex-uncaring for anything except creation. One act of creation
can be much like another. Everything depends upon the vision.
-The Stolen Journals
Leto and Moneo are in the Little Citadel tower aerie. Leto tells Moneo that a Guild lighter will soon deliver Hwi’s uncle, Malky, and Anteac died finding him. The Guild and Tleilaxu moved first when the saw the Fish Speakers moving against Ix. The Ixians have invented a device which can hide things from Leto and this is where Malky was hidden. It is an improvement on the one that hides his Journals. When the attack came, they scattered the new technology far and wide, now many can hide from Leto. Moneo confirms for Leto his orders sent to Nayla that she completely obey Siona. Moneo begs him to call the messenger back and to hold the wedding in a different place but he refuses. The Guild lighter lands and Moneo brings injured, litter-bound Malky up to the aerie on Leto’s cart. Malky confirms for Leto that Hwi is an opposite-clone of Malky. The Ixians got the knowledge from the Tleilaxu but they did it on their own, in the “no-room” where Leto could not see. Leto tells him that he notices when something vanishes like that. Moneo wants to call off the wedding but Leto refuses. Leto turns his back, so to speak, and thinks about taking a fall off the Little Citadel. He can feel the Golden Path winking out of existence at the mere though of it. Moneo kills Malky and dumps him over the rail onto the sand below. Leto silently wishes he could pray.
