Morpheus sitting on a bench in a field, filled with people, laughing, having family picnics, children playing, and other walking dogs.Morpheus lost in thought while feeding pigeons, he was interrupted by a boy, who accidentally played a ball directly at Morpheus' face. 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
Rose, still in shock, didn't say a word, she continued to stare at Unity as she spoke, then all of a sudden she burst into tears and hugged Unity, her great-grandmother. "I'll let you catch up," Lyta excused herself from the room. Unity and Rose insisted she stay with them but she left anyway for their privacy. There is a café where two men and a woman, discussing how to replace a family man and how to get on as soon as possible before their events. On the other hand, they also discussed getting a big guest who has a big record in the killing. "Corinthian," the three said together. Man 1: "Though there's probably been more than one Corinthians over the years."Woman: Whoever the current one is, his work is exquisite. The woman showed her companion a murder photo which was fascinating to them. They are in a cult called 'TheFamily'Woman: So he's on the East Coast. He's not far. Man 2: What do you think he does with those eyes? Woman: She believes Corinthian is also a cultist "
Corinthian went to Rose's house while looking for her. He was welcomed into the apartment by a guy called Carl and was questioned by Corinthian about Rose's location. Corinthian went through the apartment as Carl was talking to him. Corinthian saw a picture of Rose, "Rose surely left you some books to read.""You are a big reader?" Carl questioned. "I prefer people," Corinthian replied. "Hmm, that's good news for people," Carl smiled. "You, uh, never told me about the job. The one you found for Rose," Carl added. "Oh, I want Rose to come and work for me. See I left my old job to be independent. I think with Rose at my side, I can put my boss out of business," Corinthian assured Carl. Phone buzzing! Corinthia glanced at his phone and immediately noticed a news article about a copycat, grabbing his attention. Surprisingly, the copycat turned out to be associated with the same group of strangers in the café."Something wrong?" Carl asked. "Yeah. I gotta get to work," Corinthian r
Man1: I figured if one copycat crime doesn't seem to get the Corinthians' attention, two will. (He brought out two eyes and placed them on the table.)The three strangers, 2 men, and a lady, are still deliberating on how to get Corinthians' attention. Man 2: Make the copycat 3 actually. (The second man brought out another 2 pieces of eyes.) The lady was surprised the men took part in her idea which they thought was terrible. "In the absence of a better one. We still need a guest of honor," The second man smiled. They believed getting inside the mind of Corinthian 'A fellow killer' is a great idea. Then they asked themselves, Why the eyes? Why only the eyes? The lady believes the eyes are the window to the souls. Man 1: Though it is hard to remove those eyes. "The trick is to use your thumbs," Corinthian showed up in front of them. The first man gasps, "Oh, my!""Yeah, I assume you were trying to get my attention," Corinthian leaned forward. "Now that you've got it… tell me why I
As Rose awoke, her eyes were drawn to a Raven perched outside her window. A rush of anticipation surged through her veins, compelling her to confirm the authenticity of her dream. With a mixture of trepidation and curiosity, she approached the Raven, hoping to find validation and answers within its enigmatic presence.Using its beak, the raven tapped on the window and let out a series of cawing sounds. Startled yet hopeful, Rose approached the window, her footsteps cautious and deliberate. She softly called out, "Matthew?" The raven swiftly took flight, disappearing into the sky, leaving Rose with a rush of relief coursing through her veins. At that very moment, she couldn't help but question if it had all been a dream.Equipped with a photo of her brother, Rose took a decisive step forward and utilized it to create a compelling missing-person poster. With a mixture of anticipation and apprehension, she then reached for her phone and dialed Unity's number, her fingers trembling as she
Lucien approached Morpheus in the library, her steps swift and purposeful. With respect in her voice, she addressed Morpheus, "My lord, may I be of assistance?""Is this everything we have on Rose Walker?" Morpheus asked. "And Jed Walker," Lucien replied. "But I doubt there's anything in those books that you don't already know. Except, perhaps..." Before Lucien could finish his sentence, Morpheus abruptly interrupted him, his anger evident.Morpheus's voice quivered with unease as he spoke, "Except, perhaps, why she managed to wander into my throne room." Anxiety tinged his words, his worry was evident. Seeking reassurance, he turned to Lucien and posed a question, "What do you think? Why did Gault target her brother and not her?"Lucien frowned, "Did you read about Unity? She questioned. "The day you were imprisoned, there were people all over the world who fell asleep and people who couldn't wake up. Unity is the sole survivor of what they call the 'Sleepy Sickness.' The day you re
