The walls of the cave were damp and cool, a welcome respite from the scorching desert sun.
My sister Tula and I huddled together, each of us wrapped in a long white robe.
We’d been waiting nearly two hours, and we were growing impatient.
"Perhaps they will not come."
I fidgeted with the hem of my robe.
"Be quiet, Valya. We must wait."
Tula’s eyes flashed in the dim light.
She was smaller than I, with more delicate features, but her eyes burned hotter.
I’d always thought of myself as the leader, but lately I’d begun to wonder if Tula wasn’t the true leader of the two of us.
We both wore stillsuits under our robes, but we’d removed their hoods and gloves in deference to our guests.
The air in the cave was stale, smelling slightly of ozone.
It was a good omen.
I stood and paced across the cave, my hands clasped behind my back.
Tula watched me silently.
I could feel her impatience, but I would not give in to it.
We had waited years for this moment.
I stopped pacing and turned to face my sister.
My heart pounded in my chest, but I kept my face calm.
Tula’s eyes were fierce, challenging me.
I would not back down.
We had come too far to let our petty differences tear us apart.
"Perhaps we should have gone to them," Tula said.
Her voice was soft, but her words were laced with venom.
"We must be careful. We do not know who to trust."
I glanced at the cave entrance, where our guards stood watch.
We’d been forced to flee our home planet, and now we were at the mercy of strangers.
I did not like it one bit.
Tula’s face twisted in a scowl.
She’d always been more aggressive than I, and I wondered if her temper would be our downfall.
"We have waited long enough," she said.
"We must take action."
I sighed inwardly.
This was an argument we’d had many times before, but I would not give in to her demands.
We’d come too far to risk everything now.
"We must be patient," I said firmly.
"We do not know who to trust."
Tula’s eyes narrowed, but she said nothing more.
The entrance to the cave grew darker as a shadow fell across it.
A moment later, Elara Vex ducked inside.
Her presence brought both relief and tension.
I’d sent her to fetch our guests, but I’d given her permission to stop them if she sensed any danger.
Her presence meant they were safe, but I could not help feeling a sense of unease.
My eyes met hers, and I saw the reassurance I sought there.
She nodded slightly, telling me that we could trust these strangers.
But for how long?
Tula stepped forward, her impatience barely contained.
"Who are they?"
Elara hesitated a moment before answering.
"They are spies. Skilled in the art of war and espionage. They say they wish to join our cause."
"Why should we trust them?"
Tula’s voice was like venom.
I watched Elara’s face carefully.
Her expression told me nothing.
"They have skills that would be useful to us. And they seem loyal to our cause."
Loyal, but to whom?
I wondered.
We were not the only ones searching for allies in this new world.
There were others, powerful and ruthless.
If these spies had been approached by them first, would they have been tempted?
Elara's gaze shifted between us, her voice steady.
"They claim to have information about the ones who destroyed our home."
Tula's eyes widened, her anger momentarily replaced by intrigue.
I stepped forward, my heart pounding in my chest.
"What do they know?"
I demanded.
Elara’s eyes locked on mine, her face a mask of calm.
"They will only tell you," she said.
I nodded and turned to Tula.
"Then let us hear what they have to say."
We stepped out of the cave, our shadows stretching across the barren ground.
The spies waited for us, their eyes scanning the horizon as if searching for an escape route.
My heart raced, but I kept my face calm.
Tula stood beside me, her body tense and ready to spring into action.
As we approached, the lead spy stepped forward and gave us a nod of respect.
I did not acknowledge him, but instead demanded, "What have you learned?"
The spy swallowed hard before answering.
"The Emperor’s Sardaukar are on their way. They will be here within a week."
"And what of our allies?"
I asked.
"The ones who destroyed our home? What news do you have of them?"
The spy hesitated a moment before answering.
"They are not what they seem. They have made secret alliances with others. They will betray you if given the chance."
Tula’s anger was barely contained beneath her surface.
"How can we be sure you're telling the truth?" Tula demanded, her voice sharp.
The spy met her gaze, unwavering. "Because if I were lying, I'd be dead by now."
I studied him closely, searching for any sign of deceit.
After a moment, I turned to my sister.
Tula’s eyes were narrowed, her arms crossed over her chest.
I knew she was thinking the same thing as I.
If these spies were telling the truth, they could be useful to us.
But how could we trust them?
I glanced at Elara, who stood silently behind us.
She’d been watching the spies closely since they arrived, and I trusted her instincts.
If she’d sensed any danger from them, she would have stopped them before they reached us.
I looked back at the spy and nodded solemnly.
"We will need proof of your words. If you are telling the truth, we may have a use for you."
The spy’s eyes lit up with excitement.
He gave me a quick bow before turning to leave.
I called out to him before he could take a step.
"One more thing," I said.
"We have a task for you. If you succeed, we will hear what else you have to say."
The spy turned back to me, his face calm but curious.
"What do you ask of us?"
I glanced at Tula, who gave me a quick nod of agreement.
