Back in the waking world, within the convention hall, Morpheus and Corinthian stood facing each other.Morpheus examined the scar on his hand, the remnant of the earlier knife wound inflicted by Corinthian, and noticed that it was healing spontaneously.Corinthian removed his black glasses, exposing his teeth eye sockets, "If you think I'm going to the Dreaming with you …," His sentence trailed off as he glanced at Morpheus and was interrupted.Morpheus interjected firmly, "You won't be returning," he stated. "I brought you into this world to aid humanity, not to prey upon it," he clarified."Do you understand my motivation?" Corinthian inquired. "I do it to experience the sensation of hunger," he confided, revealing his longing. "And as for you, you're not concerned with humanity. Your priorities revolve solely around yourself, your domain, and your regulations," he accused Morpheus with anger in his voice.Morpheus glared at Corinthian, his anger simmering beneath a calm exterior.

Rose and Jed reached the hospital and found Chantel, Zelda, Barbie, Ken, and Hal waiting in the reception area."How is she?" Is she okay?"Rose inquired with genuine concern and urgency.Barbie rushed out of the chair to respond immediately she set eyes on Rose, "I am sure she is fine, but since we are not family so they are not telling us anything," she responded while she was also distracted by her boyfriend chatting with the nurse at the reception desk."So did you know she was pregnant?" Hall asked Rose"Of course she knew," Chantel replied confidently, turning to face Rose. "You were aware of it, weren't you?"Rose found herself at a loss for words, unable to explain the circumstances of Lyta's pregnancy. Instead, she skillfully diverted their attention by introducing her brother, Jed, into the conversation."Everyone, this is Jed.""Jed!" Barbie smiled as she lean forward to greet him."Hi," Chantel greeted.Hey, Jed," Hal greeted.They all expressed their joy at finally seeing

As Rose relaxed on the bed, fatigue overcame her, and she drifted into an unintended slumber. Her mind became a theater of memories, replaying her journey from the very beginning, from where Morpheus was silently observing her. The hospital room echoed with Lyta's words, "Look for him tonight and end him." Suddenly, Rose found herself transported to the enigmatic realm of dreams.Rose found herself within Hal's dream but was determined to locate Morpheus. Her attention was soon drawn to an exit door, offering a glimmer of hope in her quest.Approaching the door, Rose attempted to open it, but it resisted her efforts, locked securely. Frustration mounting, she decided to use force, pushing against the unyielding barrier. Suddenly, as the door resisted her, the realm of dreams quivered and she found herself inexplicably transported into a different place - the dreamscapes of her friends.Rose saw Chantel who kept telling the same story in her dreams."And this is the story he told.

Unity on the other hand found herself in the realm of dreams library, looking through the book shelves."May I help you?" Lucien asked as she noticed the presence of Unity."Oh, yes, please. I-I'm looking for a book," Unity replied."We have every book written, as well as those yet unwritten," Lucien said.Unity nodded and said, "I wish to explore the story of my life, imagining how things might have unfolded differently.""I have detailed accounts of sleeper's dreams.""No, thank you. I've already had more dreams than I can count," Unity replied, her gaze fixed on the bookshelves. She turned to Lucien and continued, "What I crave now is to read about the life I didn't live."Lucien smiled with confusion, "I'm not entirely sure we have those volumes," She said.Unity's disappointment lingered as she resumed her search amidst the vast collection. "With every book ever written and yet to be written, it has to be here somewhere," she mused aloud, determination in her eyes. Swiftly, her f

Unity turned to Morpheus, "I am Rose's great-grandmother," She stretched out her life book. "And according to this book, I was meant to be the Vortex of this age," She explained. "But because you were imprisoned and locked out of the Dreaming, that fate was passed down to my descendants.""I don't understand," Morpheus looked confused.Unity let out a derisive chuckle. "You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?" she remarked, her gaze shifting to Rose. "Come closer, Rose." With a gentle touch, she held Rose's hand and continued, "I need you to dig deep within yourself and share whatever it is that makes you the Vortex.""But h-how?""You're dreaming, darling. Anything is possible."Rose reached for her chest, retrieving a black glass object shaped like a crimson heart - known as the Heart of Vortex. As she held it in her hand, the surrounding energy dissipated, replaced by the mysterious power emanating from the Vortex Heart.Lucien and Morpheus exchanged incredulous glances

Morpheus made his way directly to a grand castle, a place that served as his gallery. Inside a dimly lit chamber, he stood before an empty, glassless mirror. With determination in his eyes, he reached for a black heart-shaped object, murmuring, "Desire." Holding the symbol of his brother, he gazed at it intently and spoke, "I stand in my gallery, clutching your sigil. Speak to me."An image materialized on the object Morpheus held, revealing the countenance of the man with golden eyes — "Desire," Morpheus's brother."Why, sweet Dream. This is unexpected," Desire's reflection smiled, a hint of amusement in their eyes. "Almost an event, one might say.""Good," Morpheus responded. "I'm coming through."Out of surprise Desire raised his brows, "You are?" He asked. "But of course," he smiled and continued, "You know you're always welcome in my chambers." The moment Desire finished speaking, Morpheus materialized within Desire's chamber, moving with deliberate, unhurried steps toward his l

In the depths of hell, Mazikeen entered Lucifer's chamber, seeking his presence. "Your Majesty?" Her voice echoed through the room as she called out for him.In the corner of his room, Mazikeen spotted Lucifer donned in a striking red dress, wings unfurled majestically."Do you need assistance getting dressed?" Mazikeen inquired. "We have a lineup of demon battles scheduled for your entertainment," she added with a sly smile."I can think of nothing I'd enjoy less," Lucifer said softly.Mazikeen moved closer, "In which case Lord Azazel would like a word.""Except that," Lucifer said with a disgusting expression on his face."I shall brief you, Your Majesty," Azazel materialized in Lucifer's chamber, causing both Lucifer and Mazikeen to startle. Azazel's form shifted like a shadow, revealing different faces in the process.Lucifer swiftly turned toward Azazel. "Azazel, how likely you are to show up without an invitation never ceases to amaze me," he remarked with a touch of annoyance.

Morpheus was quietly exploring the library when Lucien interrupted him, saying, "My Lord, your ex-wife, Knowledge, is asking to see you." Knowledge had been captured by a human named 'Daniel.'Morpheus wondered, "What does she want now? Why can't she get out of the prison on her own?" He felt frustrated and puzzled about the reasons behind her inability to escape without assistance.Lucien suggested that humans might have used a magical way to capture knowledge, similar to how Magnus did. She urged, "My Lord, she might really need your help urgently."Morpheus took a brief break and said, "Very well, I will be back." Then, he vanished.Morpheus entered the room where Knowledge was captured and questioned, "When will this person release you from this prison? Haven't they learned enough already?" Morpheus seemed curious about the duration of Knowledge's captivity.Knowledge, clad in pure white attire, her long hair flowing and her skin as pale as snow, was taken aback as Morpheus appeare
