[Dream] Lucienne, what happened here?
[Lucienne] My lord, you are the Dreaming. With you gone as long as you were, the realm began to … decay.
[Dream] My kingdom had fallen apart. My tools, long since stolen and scattered. I made this realm once, Lucienne. I will make it again.
[Death] I'm worried about my brother.
[epic music playing]
Any word of the Prodigal?
[Death] No. Still missing. My siblings have their own realms to attend to. I have mine. Someone took advantage of my imprisonment. Desire.
Lovely to see you.
[Dream] What did you truly intend? That I should spill family blood?
[inhales sharply] Mess with me or mine again, and I shall forget you are family.
Summon the Fates.
[thunder rumbles]
Morpheus?
My helm. What happened to it?
[the Mother] It was traded away to a demon.
Hey, boss, where are we going?
[Dream] Hell.
[cheering] Hello, Dream.
I presume the ruler of hell knows this is no social call.
Dreamlord?
Come, Matthew.
Anything you want to share?
Her name is Nada.
We were in love.
How'd she end up here?
She defied me.
So what's our next move?
[Dream] Tomorrow the rebuilding will begin. New dreams, new nightmares, a new age.
One day, Morpheus, we shall destroy you.
[crowd clamoring]
[Dream] Until that day, Lightbringer.
