As they bid farewell to the beach, Hal enveloped Rose in a warm embrace. "You've been an incredible friend, Rose Walker," he expressed, his voice filled with gratitude and affection.As Corinthian reached the foster agent's office, he found her on the verge of leaving for the day. Determined, he hurriedly approached her and held up the flyer in his hand, extending it toward the agent. With a mix of hope and urgency, he asked, "Excuse me, ma'am. Have you seen this boy?"The foster agent couldn't say a word, she believes her profession doesn't allow that. Corinthian didn't waste any time. He brought out his knife, stabbed the agent, and removed her eyes. Corinthian positioned himself at the table, carefully setting down the eyes alongside Jed's file. With a steady hand, he proceeded to delicately insert the extracted agent's eyes into his eye sockets, merging their sight as one. As his vision adjusted, he delved into the contents of the file, utilizing this newfound perspective to unco

With a smile gracing his enigmatic face, Morpheus turned towards Rose and spoke, his voice filled with an air of wisdom. "I must confess, there are certain questions even I cannot answer definitively," he began. "However, what I can reveal is this: a Vortex possesses a tremendous power—the ability to dream entire worlds into existence or bring about their utter destruction."After a brief pause, they resumed their journey, with Rose taking the lead toward her brother's dream. However, the next dream they entered was not her brother's, but instead that of her friend, Zelda, appearing in a childlike form in the cemetery. Intrigued, Rose couldn't help but inquire, "Who is that?"Morpheus: Zelda. When she was your brothers' age. Zelda: Mummy and Daddy told me to go away. So, I am in the old orchards. Nobody understands me. Nobody cares. Nobody understands but Chantal. Chantal comes along, shows me she's my soul sister. I and she are gothic heroines, secret brides to the faceless slaves

"I'm right here," Jed's voice sounded with a hint of confusion."No, Jeddy, this is just a dream," Rose gently reassured him. She held up the flier, her finger pointing at the desperate plea for help scrawled across it. "When you wake up, where do you think you'll be?" Rose asked, her voice filled with concern.Fear and panic gripped Jed as he trembled, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Uncle Barnady threatened to shatter every bone in my body. Even Aunt Clarice won't be able to protect me."Rose's voice trembled with worry as she questioned, "Who is Barnady? Where is Jed? And where are Aunty Clarice and Uncle Barnady?""They're home. They are in Homeland," Jed answered. "Where is that? Where is homeland?" Rose's voice trembled with confusion as she desperately sought answers about her brother Jed's whereabouts. The uncertainty surrounding his location weighed heavily on her heart, leaving her feeling lost and disoriented.Morpheus fixed a steady gaze upon Gault and issued a commandi

As Rose awoke from the vivid dream, she immediately shifted her focus to her laptop. Determination filled her as she tirelessly searched for any trace of Bernady and Clarice Homeland, her brother's foster parents. Finally, with a surge of relief and excitement, Rose discovered their location.Without wasting a moment, Rose hurriedly made her way to their room door, eager to share the news with Lyta. She knocked on the door eagerly, her voice trembling with anticipation, "Lyta, I found him. I found Jed."Lyta's voice echoed from the room, filled with confusion. "What?" she exclaimed, seeking clarity or further information on the matter at hand.Rose's excitement bubbled up within her as she exclaimed, "I found Jed!"Consumed by excitement, Rose could no longer contain her eagerness to begin the adventure. Unable to wait any longer for Lyta to come out from the room, she swiftly grabbed the car keys, her phone, and her bag. With a determined stride, Rose left. As Lyta swung open the do

Stepping foot into the ethereal realm of the Dream world, Morpheus and Gault made their entrance. As Morpheus began his approach toward the magnificent throne that symbolized his authority, Gault couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She turned to Morpheus and posed a question that had been weighing on her mind, "Do you possess any insight into what Jed's life is truly like in the waking world?"With a mix of frustration and anger, Morpheus averted his gaze, his back turned to Gault. He spoke with conviction, emphasizing the stark reality before them. "Humans were never meant to dwell solely in the realm of dreams. By keeping the child trapped there, we deny him the chance at a real life, a life filled with experiences and opportunities.""The boy is being abused. He's suffering," Gault said. "You abused that suffering to build a Dreaming you could rule," Morpheus responded. "I have no desire to rule. My only wish is to create a Dream and not a Nightmare," Gault confided in Mor

A few days later, Corinthian and Jed found themselves sitting in a serene park, enjoying the delightful treat of ice cream. As they savored each bite, Corinthian couldn't help but chuckle at Jed's quirky way of eating his ice cream, bringing a lighthearted smile to both of their faces. The park echoed with the sound of their laughter, creating a joyful moment. "Need another one?" Corinthian offered Jed a paper napkin to clean his mouth.As Jed cleaned his mouth, he inquired, "Do we need to meet Rose?""No, Rose is coming to meet us.""Here?""No. I have to go to a work thing. It's a convention. We will call her there.""Like a comic book convention?""Do you like comic books?""I used to.""Back when you were a kid?" Corinthian asked. "Yeah," Jed smiled and showed a serious look on his face, "Can I ask you a question?""Shoot,""What's your name?""Have you ever noticed how people only ever use your name when you're in trouble… Jed?" Corinthian asked. "We need to talk, Jed. Get in h

Jed and Corinthian made their way into the hotel lobby, where they patiently waited in line for Corinthian's name to be checked in at the front desk.As Jed stood in line, his curious gaze swept across the crowd. Corinthian, noticing his inquisitive demeanor, couldn't resist asking, "What are you searching for?"Jed's disappointment was evident as he glanced up at Corinthian. "It's a cereal convention. I thought there'd be cereal," he said with a tinge of frustration in his voice.Corinthian chuckles, "Are you still hungry?"Jed smiled and nodded, replying simply, "Yes.""Okay. Well, have a seat, uh, over there and we'll get you something to eat," Corinthian said, gesturing towards a cozy corner for Jed to settle in.Jed quietly approached the seat in the lobby, discreetly eavesdropping on everyone's conversation.Female 1: Tell ya, I could murder a steak.Male 1: They do this chocolate fudge whip to die for.Female 2: The TV version butchered it, but you can find it uncut online.Mal

As Rose and Lyta were deep in discussion, strategizing on how to reach Jed in the hotel, their conversation was suddenly interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Startled, Rose called out, "Who is it?""Uh, Miss Walker? It's Gilbert."Rose and Lyta exchanged startled glances, their eyes locking in a moment of shared surprise. In a hurry, Lyta swiftly darted into the bedroom, seeking to shield herself and her miracle baby from Gilbert's view.As Lyta stepped into the bedroom, she seized the moment to enter her Dream world, where she could reunite with her late husband, Hector. In this ethereal realm, their souls intertwined once more, sharing a timeless and romantic rendezvous filled with love and cherished memories.As their passionate embraces and moans filled the Dream world, an unexpected earthquake shook the very ground beneath them, demanding their immediate attention.

“And where is your boss?” Death asked, startling Lucien as she was engrossed in reading one of the books in the library.“Oh!” Lucien exclaimed, clutching her chest in surprise. “You startled me,” she said with a faint smile. “It’s been a while since you last visited. I’m sure he’ll be back very soon,” she added reassuringly.Death spread her wings, preparing to leave. She glanced back and said, “Let him know I was here. He’ll know where to find me.” As Death turned to leave, Lucien called after her, "You know, it wouldn't hurt to have you around more often. Dream would appreciate it.”Death glanced at Lucien and said, "You know I have souls to collect. If he wants my help, he'd better give me a good reason. There are far too many souls here already—some of them weren’t even supposed to die.”"I believe it might be connected to the possession caused by the demons," Lucien responded.Death lowered her wings gracefully and stepped closer to Lucien. "I thought this had already been reso

Constantine spotted Morpheus from a distance and immediately made her way toward him.Morpheus frowned, his coat billowing majestically with each step, while his raven glided in slowly beside him."How did it go?" Constantine asked as soon as she reached Morpheus."I've already told you that Lucifer isn't the one in charge, but I’m certain he knows who is. He will definitely put an end to this chaos," Morpheus replied.Constantine nodded and replied, “Well, I'll have to check on other people to keep them safe until this chaos is over.”"I..." Morpheus began to speak when he heard the faint voice of Rose calling out to him.“Help,” Rose whispered weakly."I need to leave. One of our Endless children is in danger," Morpheus said, departing swiftly."Is he married? Does he have children?" Constantine asked, surprised and confused.Matthew the Raven was on the verge of returning to the Dream Realm when he overheard Constantine's question. "What!" Matthew exclaimed, taken aback.

"Your Majesty," the demon began, approaching Lucifer with deference, "The King of Dreams and his Raven have departed our realm." With a respectful bow, the demon relayed his message, awaiting Lucifer's response.Lucifer gestured with a wave of his hand, signaling the demon to depart."Hey, Mazikeen!" Lucifer's voice echoed through the chamber as he called upon his trusted demon lieutenant, turning to face her with a determined gaze.Mazikeen stepped forward, closing the distance to attend to Lucifer."Summon Azazel and the other chiefs immediately," Lucifer commanded, his expression seething with anger.Mazikeen, fueled by the same anger that coursed through Lucifer's veins, bowed respectfully before him as she prepared to depart. With a determined air, she took her leave, her purpose clear: to summon the chiefs and rally their forces.As soon as Mazikeen departed, Lucifer beckoned Balthazar forth. "Head to the waking world," he commanded, "and ascertain the precise nature of the situ

"You know, I think I deserve a say in where I end up. Teleporting me around without asking is a bit rude, don't you think?" Mathew the raven quipped, a hint of playful annoyance in his tone, as he conversed with Morpheus."Are you implying that you're afraid to accompany me to Hell?" Morpheus glanced back at Matthew, arching an eyebrow inquisitively."Negative," Matthew retorted sharply. "My purpose here is to ensure your safety and inform Lucien of your current location," he clarified.“Okay,” Morpheus responded.Morpheus and Matthew stood by the gate after the souls had entered."At the gate stands one... Oh, it's you again, King of Dreams," the Demon exclaimed, surprised by Morpheus's presence."It's good that you remembered," Morpheus said, his expression turning into a frown.The demon, with a sinister grin, swung open the imposing gates, granting passage to Morpheus and his faithful raven companion. They strode purposefully through the gateway, their determination palpable in th

"So, what happened?" Constantine asked, her voice tinged with anxiety.With his arms folded behind his back, Morpheus began to recount the events, "It appears the shadows are merely inhabiting the host body, utilizing it as a vessel to carry out their nefarious deeds, which ultimately culminate in the destruction of the waking world," he explained, placing particular emphasis on the phrase, "Your world.”"It's not unusual for demons to harbor destructive intentions towards the world, but what we need to ascertain is the method, timing, and identity of their superior," Constantine remarked thoughtfully. She then posed the question, "Could it possibly be Lucifer behind all of this?” Morpheus released a sigh and gently lowered his arms, turning away from Constantine. "Lucifer is not involved in this matter," he stated, before facing Constantine once more. "Furthermore, I am going to meet with him immediately," he added decisively."Alright then, while that's being taken care of, I'll go

Matthew the raven flew around in the darkness looking for traces of the shadow, “I simply can't see anything here,” he murmured.As Matthew the raven tiptoed along, his claws clinking softly against the ground, he accidentally kicked an iron can, causing it to clang loudly. He froze, scanning the surroundings to ensure the noise hadn't attracted unwanted attention. When he glanced behind him, a dark shadow loomed ominously, its presence sending a shiver down his feathers.Matthew looked up with a mixture of fear and curiosity, his lips quivering as he greeted, "Hello!”With a bone-chilling voice, the shadow unleashed a haunting shriek, echoing through the darkness, "Haaaaaa.""Boss," Matthew whispered urgently, but as the shadow loomed closer, panic seized him. "Boss!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the darkness. With a flutter of his wings, he darted away, his heart pounding with fear. "Boss, where are you? I need you!”In the dream world, the shadow persisted in its relentles

“Like this,” Matthew looked around as he finished his statement after appearing in the girl's dream. “Boss, why is it so dark here? Is it supposed to be this dark?” He asked, “I can't see anything,” he added.Morpheus fell silent, his thoughts consumed by the urgency of the situation. With determination etched on his face, he delved deeper into the dream realm, scouring the ethereal landscape for any shred of useful information. Suddenly, his attention was drawn to a figure huddled in a corner. Moving swiftly, Morpheus made his way towards the girl, his senses alert for any sign of danger."Boss, where are we headed in this darkness?" asked Matthew."Direct your gaze ahead, and within a faint glow, you'll discover a young girl," he said to Matthew.Matthew glanced in the direction indicated by Morpheus and breathed a sigh of relief. With a swift flutter of wings, he landed on Morpheus's shoulder and inquired, "What's our next move?”“Well! I want you to search around for the shadow wh

In the evening, as Constantine approached her door, she encountered a motionless girl waiting just outside."Hello! How may I assist you? What brings you here?" Constantine leaned forward toward the girl.Constantine laid her hand gently on the girl's shoulder. In an instant, the girl raised her head to meet Constantine's gaze. Her eyes, once ordinary, now glowed entirely black, ablaze with shadows.She gripped a knife tightly, raising it with the intent to stab Constantine.Constantine stumbled, losing her balance, and found herself sprawled on the floor. She scrambled on all fours, desperately crawling away from the approaching girl with a mixture of fear and urgency."I have no intention of causing harm to you, whether you're a girl or whatever entity resides within this child's body," Constantine expressed."Who do you believe yourself to be? Our plans will forever elude your understanding," the girl declared, advancing menacingly toward Constantine.“What plan are you talking abo

Constantine heads straight to the Catholic church and meets up with the nun.“What do you think is going on?” Constantine asked.They both walked along the hall heading to the altar. The Nun faced Constantine and nodded her head in distress. “If I tell you I know then I would be lying.”Immediately she snapped her fingers when she recalled something one of the congregations said on the day they had service.“I believe there was a time, a man said demons were showing up in her dreams but they didn't do anything to him, they were only showing up and going because he is not someone that dreams only sleeps due to mental disability.”“Where can I find him?” Constantine asked.“Uh! He shouldn't be hard to find, he is homeless,” the Nun said and continued, “I think he sleeps in the next street around the corner.”Constantine turned back immediately and shouted, “Thank you.”Constantine ran straight to the next street and found an elderly lady that approached her with a message.“Work togethe
