"Hmm. Yes, clown. Morpheus was made fun of by the demon, who questioned, "So, where is your crown?""Guard your tongue, demon," Morpheus advised the demon, "because the ruler of Hell will not be kind to one who insults an honored guest," he stated with an irate expression. Morpheus becomes enraged. "And I am a guest in this realm as I am a ruler of my own," he adds. "So, where's your ruby?""Will you let me use it to haunt your dreams? And your awake time, too?" asked Morpheus. "Or will you allow us in by opening the Gate of Hell?" Morpheus' tone turned fierce. The demon unlocked the gate for Morpheus and his raven after being frightened by Morpheus' threat."Now take us to the palace," Morpheus commanded. "There is one at the door," Demon kept repeating the words on their way to the palace. They encountered a dry, dark woodland that was covered in fog as they made their way to the palace, with the demon leading the way."Any clue, where we are?" Matthew the raven enquired."The la

Johnny is on the street, looking around at the unfamiliar house and areas. He got on the road when he almost got into an accident with a car. He fell and got scared using one of his hands to guide himself as another car parked in front of him. A lady rushed out of the car to assist Johnny in standing up. "Thank you," Johnny said, grateful. Johnny was trying to look for his slippers, "I lost my slippers somewhere.""Oh, here you go," the lady found his slippers and helped him put them on. Johnny acknowledged the lady and indirectly apologized for being underdressed. She told Johnny it wasn't a big deal as it is a normal thing. "You live nearby," she asked"No, I uh… I've no idea where I am, actually," Johnny looked around. "Do you need a ride somewhere? I'd be happy to take you," she offered him a ride. "Do you know where Mayhew is?" Johnny asked. She smiled, "It's on my way. I live in Cumberland," stretching her hand to introduce herself, "I am Rosemary. "Johnny did the same b

Now Morpheus and the demon are to choose their champion. Lucifer asked them both to choose who to represent them in battle. "I shall represent myself," Morpheus frowned. "Choronzon, whom will you choose to represent you?" Lucifer asked"Hmm… I choose you, sire," Demon referred to Lucifer while staring at Morpheus. Lucifer smiles, his cloth changed to black, both opponents stared at each other. "Apologies , Dream, but the laws of Hell demand that I become his champion. But if you would not fight ms," Lucifdr calmly said. Morpheus turned to demon, "I have accepted the terms," turning back at Lucifer, "Let the challenge begin."The demon introduced the tournament to the crowded demons, "welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Today for your entertainment and delectation, a formal challenge," crowd cheering as demon continues. "The challenger Dream. Once the master of the Realm of Sleep," demon introduced Morpheus.

Bette, the waitress approached Johnny with a smile, "How are you doing today," "How am I doing? Well, I'm feeling better than I have for quite some time. Thank you," Johnny responded. "Mmm. I could use some of that. What's your secret?" Bette trying to make Johnny comfortable. "Shall I tell you the truth? This is my secret," Johnny showed her the ruby.

Morpheus caught the ball with one hand."Sorry, man. Nice catch, though," The boy complimented Morpheus for catching the ball without looking. "Thank you," The boy added.The boy was about to leave when he saw a lady in black, walking towards Morpheus, she smiled at the boy and continued walking.The lady's name is Death, Morpheus' sister. Death takes the souls of the dead. She sat next to Morpheus smiling at him and watching him as he fed the pigeons."What are you doing?" Death asked."Am feeding the pigeon," Morpheus responded, focusing on the pigeons.She smiled and looked at him, "You do that too much, you know what you get?"Morpheus checked his head meaning, No."Fat pigeons, Death answered, "That's from Mary Po

Morpheus departed and appeared in front of an ancient bar to meet Hob, at that moment Morpheus had a flashback to when he first met Hob. Back in 1389, where Death and Dream went into the bar to have a drink. Death was dressed as a nun entering the bar, "Come on, then… What are you waiting for?" requesting Morpheus to come in with her. Morpheus was wearing an ancient suit with long black hair, "Very well. "He entered the bar. "But I do not see what purpose this will serve," He spoke out. "At least I get out and meet them. I just think maybe it would be good for you to see them on their terms, instead of yours, " Death advised Morpheus. Death smiled at an old man, "Sir, penny ale for me and another for my brother if it pleases you.""Certainly, lady," The old man was friendly. Morpheus stared with an annoying face at a bleating goat. He was distracted by his sister, Death when she handed him a drink. In the bar people were discussing, laughing, drinking, it was a busy place. Morp

Desire and Despair, in their statue heart empire. They are the twins of the Endless. Despair is a woman who dresses in an unpleasant way and her hair I brushed. "Are you there, my sister?" Desire smiled, "Will you talk to me, Queen of Despair?""I'm always ready to listen to you, Desire," Despair's voice whimpered."I have news."Despair looked up at Desire, "Real news?" Her face in assurance, "The prodigal has returned."Desire chuckles, "What?" He didn't quite understand what Despair meant at first, "Oh, him? No. No. He's still missing. I speak of Dreams. He's managed to free himself."Despair gaps, "You seek to share him in your machinations again? Has he not suffered enough these last 100 years?"Desire still thinks Dream hasn't gone through any suffering. Despair raised her brows, "Do you think these little games of ours will change him?" Despair asked."This is no game, my twin. Dream still behaves as if his realm is superior to ours. It's time that he learned that dreams are m

Matthew, determined to uncover the truth, flapped his wings and swooped closer to Constantine’s window, perching on the ledge just outside. He could see her inside, tossing and turning in her sleep, her face contorted in distress. Whatever nightmares plagued her, they were relentless.Just as he was about to take another step forward, a surge of dark shadows erupted from the room, slamming into him like a forceful wind. The impact sent him spiraling backward, his feathers ruffling as he barely managed to regain balance in midair."Bloody hell!" he cawed, shaking himself off. "What was that?"The shadows loomed menacingly around Constantine's home, writhing like living tendrils, barring his approach. It was as if they sensed his presence and rejected it outright.Matthew steadied himself and tried again, this time keeping to the darkness, hoping to slip past unnoticed. But the moment he drew near, the shadows lashed out again, pushing him away with an invisible force. It was clear—some

Matthew flapped his wings, gliding silently above the rooftops as he continued tailing Constantine. She moved with purpose through the streets, her hands tucked deep into the pockets of her long coat, occasionally glancing over her shoulder as if she could sense something watching her. If she did, she didn’t let on.The raven perched on a streetlight as Constantine paused at a small occult shop, its windows dimly lit by flickering candlelight. She pushed the door open, and a tiny bell jingled, announcing her arrival. Matthew swooped to a nearby tree, peering inside through a dusty window.Inside, Constantine exchanged words with an elderly man behind the counter. He wore thick glasses, his long white beard curling like smoke from a dying fire. The conversation was hushed, but Matthew’s sharp ears caught snippets.“You don’t just find books on binding entities lying around, love,” the old man muttered, rubbing his temples. “You sure you want to go digging into this?”“Got no choice, ma

As Matthew fluttered above Constantine, keeping a careful distance, he watched as she strode through the streets with purpose. He wasn’t sure what she was up to, but it was clear that she was hunting for something—or someone. The way she occasionally glanced over her shoulder made Matthew wonder if she sensed him. Still, he was good at staying unnoticed. At least, he thought he was.Just as Constantine turned a corner, Matthew suddenly felt a strange pull in his chest, like an invisible string yanking him backward. His feathers ruffled as his vision blurred for a moment. He knew this sensation all too well—he was being summoned."Oh, come on!" Matthew squawked in frustration, flapping his wings furiously to resist the pull. "Not now! I was just getting to the good part!"But there was no stopping it. The pull of the Dreaming was absolute, and before he knew it, the waking world faded away, replaced by the ethereal glow of Morpheus’s domain.Matthew found himself in the grand halls of

Matthew glided over the city, his keen eyes scanning the streets below as he searched for Daniel. The night was calm, the occasional flickering streetlight casting eerie shadows across the pavement. The waking world always felt different from the Dreaming, less fluid, more rigid. Still, his task was clear: observe Daniel without interference.As he circled over a familiar street, he spotted movement below. Constantine, dressed in her usual rugged coat, was stepping out of a dimly lit pub. A cigarette dangled between her fingers as she exhaled smoke into the cold air. Matthew hesitated mid-flight. He hadn’t expected to run into her, not so soon at least.Constantine paused, her sharp eyes narrowing as she caught sight of a shadow moving in the sky. A knowing smirk tugged at her lips. “Matthew,” she called out, tilting her head up. “Come down here, you sneaky little sod. I know you're watching.”Matthew sighed, knowing there was no point in pretending otherwise. He swooped down, landing

Constantine sat across from Sister Agnes in the quiet sanctuary of the church, the scent of burning incense lingering in the air. The flickering candlelight cast long shadows on the ancient stone walls as the nun observed Constantine with a calm but knowing gaze."So, what brings you back to the house of God, Constantine?" Sister Agnes asked, folding her hands on the table before her.Constantine smirked, tapping her fingers against the wooden surface. "I need a new job, Sister. Something to keep me busy. Any demons running amok? Possessions that need handling?"Sister Agnes let out a soft chuckle and shook her head. "No fresh cases of possession at the moment. Seems the devil’s taking a holiday."Constantine scoffed, leaning back in her chair. "That’s a first."The nun studied her for a moment before speaking again. "But, there are some individuals who have been seeking guidance. They’ve heard of you—your skills, your knowledge. They wish to learn."Constantine raised a skeptical eye
Chapter 105
The night was heavy with an eerie silence, but Constantine's sleep was anything but peaceful. Shadows curled along the edges of her room, whispering like ghosts against the walls. The Rune on her skin pulsed, a soft glow bleeding through the darkness, tying her to the prison she now kept sealed within her.Her dreams—or rather, her nightmares—began the same way each time. She stood in a void, the same void where she had faced the Emptiness. But here, it was different. The Rune no longer burned with power; it trembled like a dying ember. The prison wavered, its walls barely holding together, and beyond them, the formless mass of the Emptiness lurked, pressing against its boundaries with unseen force."You cannot hold me forever," a voice rasped, hollow and endless, echoing in the chasm of her mind. It was not a singular voice but many, an amalgamation of fears, regrets, and lost souls.Constantine clenched her fists, her breath sharp and ragged. "Yeah? Well, watch me."The Rune seared

Morpheus stepped through the grand entrance of his throne room, his cloak billowing behind him like a shadow refusing to be left behind. Lucien stood waiting at the base of the dais, ever dutiful, with Matthew perched on her shoulder, his feathers ruffling slightly in anticipation.Lucien adjusted her glasses and gave a respectful nod. "You're back sooner than expected, my lord. I assume the return of Lyta, Daniel, Rose, and Jed went as planned?"Morpheus inclined his head. "Yes. They have returned to the waking world safely. The chapter of their time in the Dreaming is now closed—for now. But there are still matters that demand our attention."Lucien, ever perceptive, stepped forward. "What would you have me do?"Morpheus's expression was unreadable, his gaze drifting momentarily to the swirling mists beyond the throne room’s high windows. Then, he turned back to Lucien, his voice measured and commanding. "Gather the nightmares and the fairy tale creatures. I would address them."Mat

Morpheus stood in the dim glow of Cain and Abel’s home, his dark presence casting long shadows across the uneven ground. The two brothers, as different as night and day, watched him expectantly. Abel fidgeted, rubbing his hands together nervously, while Cain crossed his arms, his ever-present scowl deepening."Cain. Abel," Morpheus began, his voice as steady and measured as ever. "You have long been the keepers of this land. Tell me, what would you wish for your home? I will grant you this, as a token of gratitude."Abel blinked, looking at his brother for guidance, but Cain simply scoffed. "Gratitude? That’s a rare gift coming from you, Dream Lord. But if you are offering, I won’t refuse."Abel cleared his throat, stepping forward cautiously. "I… I would love a garden. A real one. With flowers and maybe a pond," he said hesitantly, wringing his fingers. "Something peaceful. And—and a place for Goldie to play!" His face brightened as he mentioned his beloved gargoyle, who lay curled u

As Morpheus stepped back into the Dreaming, the air shimmered around him, adjusting to his presence like a living thing recognizing its master. His long coat flowed behind him as he moved through the grand halls of his palace, the echoes of dreams whispering in the walls. Lucien stood near the great oak table, surrounded by books, scrolls, and floating symbols of pure knowledge. She had been waiting, as she always did, diligent and prepared. Nearby, perched on the back of a high-backed chair, Matthew the raven ruffled his feathers, his sharp black eyes tracking Morpheus’s movements. Lucien acknowledged his arrival with a nod. “You’ve returned.” Her voice was calm, but there was a subtle curiosity in her tone. “And Constantine?” Morpheus took a few steps toward the table, his expression unreadable. “She is where she must be. The Rune is a part of her now.” Matthew let out a low whistle. “Man, that’s rough. She didn’t ask for any of this.” “No,” Morpheus agreed, his gaze dista
