Disclaimer: I will stress that this song is not actually an adaptation, but simply inspired by the source material. I own no rights to Dune, nor do I claim to. I am just a fan. Please don't sue me Herbert Estate.

It's been a while, hasn't it? This week's prompt was to adapt something of a different medium than the previous, so I chose to be inspired by Dune (the book)! I wanted to highlight something which was an element of the book - and not other adaptations. I originally wanted to adapt my favourite scene from the book: the dinner. However, this proved to be a much more challenging task than expected, so, with 2 and a half writing days remaining to me, I scrapped all of that, and wrote this. In the book, there are two important fight scenes about halfway through. One features Paul and the other introduces Feyd-Rautha. They are positioned immediately one after the other, begging the reader to compare and contrast the two characters. A duet felt only natural to me. I am genuinely proud of the lyrics to the choruses especially. Special thanks to Phoenix for voicing Paul. He is a busy man, but it was well worth getting him in.
If you were worried that I'd fallen tragically behind schedule, worry not. I have just completed writing Song 10, ending Autumn. Production has been a bit slower as Sarah and I are both very busy and also keep getting sick. Rest assured, more songs are coming soon! Also I'm going to start to do some social media thingys.
