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. It w
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
Morpheus and Death strolled down the street, and Death inquired, "Now that you've found your way, how do you feel?"Morpheus, with a contemplative expression, replied, "It's been a journey, Death. Finding my path brought both challenges and revelations. How about you? How does it feel guiding souls along their own journeys?"Death nodded, "Yeah, discovering your purpose and figuring out how to handle it is a huge relief.""Is Desire still causing trouble, or has he stopped? I heard he got Unity pregnant, and Rose ended up being the Vortex instead of Unity, all because of Desire," Death mentioned.Morpheus was about to answer Death's question when Matthew the Raven interrupted, "Boss, we've got a problem," he said, panting from his flight. Matthew casually addressed Death, saying, "Hey there, how are you doing, beautiful?""Matthew, come on. You do get it, right? I'm Death, like, the end-of-the-line kind of deal. No escaping that fact," Death said with a playful eye roll and a smile.
Morpheus, puzzled, observed ominous shadows haunting people's dreams in the real world. Turning to Lucien, he inquired, "What's causing this? Who could be responsible?"Lucien said, "We gotta figure this out quickly, or it might mess up the Dreaming."Morpheus! Morpheus!Morpheus was in a dream when he suddenly heard his name being called. Curious, he began searching through the dreamscape until he discovered that it was Rose who had called out to him.He went immediately into Rose's dream, "What is it?" Morpheus asked.Rose was startled, "Wow, it worked,"Morpheus smiled and asked, "Rose, what is going on?" "Morpheus my brother has been misbehaving like there is this bad character in him, I have never seen before. It started from when he said he was having weird dreams like there were shadows doing something to him," Rose explained."What do you mean by bad character?" Morpheus squeezes his eyes as he stares at Rose."I don't know," Rose looked down trying to figure out the word to
