"Our guest of honor's presence here tonight serves as undeniable proof, at least in my eyes, that dreams can indeed come true," Nimrod addressed the gathering.

"In his lifetime, he has become a legend and an inspiration to all of us. He's among the pioneers and the finest in his field," Nimrod proclaimed, honoring their esteemed guest. He then raised his voice, addressing the assembled members of the Cult Family. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Corinthian!" His words rang out through the microphone, marking the Corinthian's welcome to address the gathering.

"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.

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

    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

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

    “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.

    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.

    "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.

    "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
