Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Sietch Tabr

The people of Sietch Tabr felt something really, really big approaching their sietch. It was not some small fry earthquake from any sandworm but a bonafide earthshaking quake. Which could only be derived from a sandworm the size of a grandfather worm.

All of the Fremen on the sietch, headed out to see what it was. Their numbers, which amounted to thousands, flooded the entrance and all outlets of escape to see what it was.

And there, they saw a great sandstorm approaching them. But they knew this was no sandstorm, this was a trail of sandworms.

"Shai-hulud!" They all shouted and bowed to the approaching worm. The figure drew closer and suddenly some semblance of sight returned to them as they saw small dots atop the giant sandworm.

"Look! Someone is riding the worm!" One exclaimed but something was strange. 

"Why isn't he using a maker's hook?" Confusion gripped the Fremen. The man was not using any hooks, he was just pointing his finger towards the way as if some kind of commander.

"Don't tell me!?" Then they saw him, behind him was the leader of their Sietch, Silgar bowing down respectfully.

"Is he the one? The one Jika told about!?" The Fremen Pilgrim who spread what he witnessed in Arrakeen was a fremen named Jika. After he returned he endlessly and fervently exclaimed that their messiah is here.

Though only a small portion believed him, mostly the fundamentalists but now seeing this, got them doubting, maybe he was right.

Suddenly the giant sandworm stopped. Sandworms don't stop on the surface, they are always in constant motion either they were burying or they were slithering through the vast desert but never do they stop on their track.

The grandfather worm stopped in front of the sietch, in front of the fremen. They could see the crystalline needle like teeth of the sandworm, it was intimidating to look at but what's more intimidating was the man riding atop of it.

He gestured his hand to lower down, and so the worm did that exactly.  The worm burrowed down to the sand to lower his elevation and give Jake a comfortable descent.

GASP!

"Mahdi!" They gasped and exclaimed. Jake unmounted with the Fedaykin behind him. 

"The Lisan Al-gaib has come for us! He is here and he has answered our call!" Stilgar shouted erupting a fervent cheer from the Fundamentalist. However some were still hesitant about what to do.

Do they worship him, like how the Fundamentalists do? Or do they ignore his existence? Whatever that was, Jake soon destroyed their notion.

He raised his hands in the air, the feeling of charisma and leadership oozing from prompting everyone to stop.

Then in their native language he spoke:

"My brothers and sisters. I apologize for taking a long time to come here. But fret not, destiny arrives all the same." Jake then walked towards them, his eyes lingering to the soul of every Fremen present, speaking to them directly through the soul.

"The desert has been harsh to you, my friend," There was pity on his voice, as if a parent looking at his child after a hard day at school.

"Everyday you worry about food." He said and patted the shoulder of the guy next to him.

"Everyday you worry about survival." And the guy next to that guy.

"You worry about exploitation." He said pointing in the direction of Arrakeen; the home of their previous oppressor.

"You worry about thirst." He said in a pity.

"The cruelty of reality have made you suffer my friend, and you can't even mourn about it because you waste a tear,"

Fremen don't waste water, even crying is forbidden because it wastes water.

"However, I am here. To bring salvation." With iis Sandworm Command Skill Jake commanded the grandfather worm to burrow into the sand.

He commanded it to create a giant crater of sand, deep enough to be filled with a lake. 

"Lisan Al-gaib!"

"Mahdi!"

"He has come!"

"As written!"

"Bless the Maker!"

The ground shook, everyone looked in awe and reverence as Jake performed his miracle. The worm continued to do so until finally a giant crater was made beside the sietch.

"If you are thirsty. Drink!" Jake extended his hands and from out of thin air water gushed forth and filled the crater.

They all watched in awe. Tears dripping down their eyes, happiness filling their hearts, worship coursing through their soul.

This. This was salvation.

Everyone kneeled to the ground, their hands up above in the air in worship. Even those who were not even Fundamentalist have gone ballistic in awe.

"Do not be shy! Put away your thirst and drink!" Jake shouted, and without restraint the Fremen ran to the lake. They put away their worries as they dipped their palms and scooped water to drink.

There was no more hesitation in them. It is official, Jake is now their god.

They drinked. They washed away their thirst. They became anew. They became Jake's loyal soldiers.

His little killing machines.

And Jake didn't stop with just that one feat. He stayed amongst them for months and lived with them, showing more and more miracle from high combat skills, Fremen Survival abilities, sand worm command, prescient visions or future vision, and many more.

In just a month he became the absolute and supreme leader of Sietch Tabr Fremen.

And he wasn't going to stop there.
