Dune: Malky, The Man Who Knew God

when god emperor of doon opens Malky is the Ixion ambassador all accounts say that the lord Leto was quite fond of monkey and that they shared many private discussions on various taboo subjects the god Emperor saw that monkey possessed the a studious character of the icks e'en people and also enough of their immorality to make him a balanced human Leto saw as well that monkeys weakness was his hedonistic nature Malky was prone to bouts of pleasure seeking and self indulgent behavior my uncle Maki often said that the Lord later was given to moods of great tolerance for selected companions because of this monkey shared intimate knowledge of Latos true nature and of the golden path Maki and the ex Ian's would however turn this fact against Leto they created weinery and raised her for one specific purpose the purpose of Wu and the God Emperor weinery was a mirror of monkey she was his opposite in everything including sex weinery had been created by the Exxon's using knowledge provided to them by the Tleilaxu she was made from a few cells of monkeys body and was born and raised in a no room a machine created by the Exxon's to hide what's inside from the prescient eye the been a Jesuit suspected that monkey like weinery was bred by the IXY ins with the context that he would be the official exeunt representative at Latos court Malky from his conversations with Leto would eventually come to understand that Leto was constantly seeking originality and newness but that he was also aware of the potentially destructive nature of unpredictable things he would gain many other insights about the god emperor over their time together monkey unlike many others in the Imperium believed in the existence of Latos other memories because of his deep understanding of Leto and his apparent sympathy for the god Emperor the IXY inquisitors believed that he was overly fond of the worm in truth machi was the only one who saw through the god-emperor machi saw how Leto being as powerful as he is contended with the desire to self delight his slightest whim commanded such power and obedience could he resist what he truly desired most if it was placed directly in front of him Leto could not resist weinery once he met her it was love and human connection that the God Emperor desired most Mulkey discovered this Leto also tolerated Maki and the ick cience because he buys from them often without eggs Ian's devices Leto could not even record and conceal his journals Maki understands the fact that Leto needs the exams as well technological innovators know you are criminals of science in my Empire Maki had laughed irritated Leto had accused why tried to hide secret laboratories and factories beyond the Empire's rim you cannot escape me yes Lord laughing I know your intent leaked a bit of this and some of that back to my Imperial domains disrupt cause doubts and questioning Lord you yourself are one of our best customers that is not what I mean and you know it you terrible man you like me because I'm a terrible man I tell you stories about what we do out there I know it without your stories but some stories are believed and some are doubted I dispel your doubts I have no doubts which had only ignited more of Mulkey's laughter when Leto is nearly killed in an attack by a lakh suface dancers he realizes that the reason he did not foresee the attack was because of the fact that he could have died later had chosen never to predict the moment of his death but he also realizes that Mulkey is the only one who could be behind the attack I could have died out there he thought that began to explain why he had not anticipated this attack but there was a deeper reason Leto could see that reason rising into his awareness a summation of all the clues what human knew the god-emperor best what human possessed a secret place from which to conspire maki Leto commands the Benin Jesuit sister Antioch to help him locate Maki when his fish speakers came upon the place where Moki hid there was violence Antioch was killed in the assault the guild and the Bennett laylax had wanted monkeys secret the no device which hid him from fresh science they had attacked before Latos fish speakers could the secret of the IXY and no devices was spread to many in the Imperium monkey was brought to the God Emperor alive Lord Leto monkeys voice was little more than a husky whisper his eyes turned right focusing on the majordomo and Monet Oh forgive me for not rising to the occasion are you in pain Leto asked sometimes monkeys ayahs moved to study his surroundings where are the Ori I am afraid I must deny you that pleasure Malky just as well Moki host I don't really feel up to their demands those were not Ori you sent after me Leto they were professional in their obedience to me Leto said they were bloody hunters Antioch was the hunter my fish because were merely the cleanup crew while listening to the conversation between the god Emperor and monkey manao got the sense that he was witnessing an exchange between two superior beings who viewed him as an object of amusement and excluded him from the conversation Maki had given Latos fish speakers the name ori long ago the name had stuck it was a reference to the beautiful young virginal women that would await a faithful Muslim in paradise according to that ancient mythology Maki often had indulged in Latos Hori just a few tiny cells from my bath Malky said then the carefully nurtured growth and education everything an exact opposite to your old friend Maki we did it all in the no room where you cannot see but I noticed when something vanishes Leto said the no room manao asked then as the import of monkeys words sank home you you aren't we that is the shape I saw in the shadows later said manao looked full at Latos face Lord I will call off the wedding I will say you will do nothing of the kind but lord if she and Malky are man hail Maki hast your Lord commands and you must obey that mocking tone manao glared at Maki manao seems to resent anyone who he interprets as being closer to the god emperor than he he in part dislikes the Duncans because they share memories with Leto from their time together during the old days on Arrakis the same is true for machi who shared a mutual awareness with Leto that when nail was not let in on Leto could not kill Maki or command his death for reasons of admiration as well as others manao understood the implication however he knew what it was that God needed from him Leto Maki called from behind him Leto heard the litter grading on the wind scattered sand which peppered the floor of his airy once more Maki called Leto you are the best there is no evil in this universe which can surpass a sodden thumb shut off monkeys voice a blow to the throat later thought yes manao knows that one there came the sound of the balconies transparent shield sliding open the rasping of the litter on the rail then silence manao will have to bury the body in the sand later thought there is as yet no worm to come and devour the evidence Leto turned in and looked across the chamber manao stood leaning over the railing peering down down down I cannot pray for you monkey Noah for you manao later thought I may be the only religious consciousness in the Empire because I am truly alone so I cannot pray monkeys actions had threatened the golden path so it was necessary for Leto to eliminate him but that does not mean that the act of doing so didn't cause him pain ultimately monkeys plan did succeed to an extent if not for we nori Duncan Idaho likely would not have contributed to the murder of the god Emperor it was later love for we that was his downfall but the exons however could not disrupt the Golden Path it remained despite all their scheming Malky was a mortal man but the only one who seemed to be a match for the god Emperor Malky knew God better than anyone in the Imperium he was an outsider and yet he saw the golden path and he saw Latos weakness hi guys as always I couldn't do any of this without the help of my amazing patreon supporters Trini girl and share a Valentine are my top two supporters so thank
