It has been two years since the King of Dreams banished you from his realm and, ever since your banishment, you lived in the Waking World.

You liked the Waking World, but you also missed the Dreaming and, when Lord Morpheus called upon you one day, wanting you to return to his realm, you were somewhat surprised.

He had created you over one hundred years ago but he had also fallen for you deeply after you had evolved into something or someone more than a dream.

Thus, your banishment was not a punishment for you. After all you had done nothing wrong and, instead, it was meant to be a punishment for himself for allowing you to gain such control over his heart and desires.

Him loving you was against the rules he had created for himself and, whilst you tried to argue that sometimes rules are meant to be broken, Dream felt a heavy sense of guilt for allowing himself to feel the way he did back then. But when he banished you, he couldn't banish the feelings he had for you. They had remained with him ever since and now he wanted you back.

"Why did you call upon me my lord?" you asked as you entered his throne-room, knowing very well that you were one of Dream's failed creations and, possibly, his biggest regret.

"Because I want you to return to the Dreaming" Morpheus explained and you could not believe his words. He could not be serious, or could he?

"You want me to return now?" you asked, rolling your eyes. "After you banished me from the realm..." you went on to say just as Dream interrupted you.

"It was never my intention to hurt you" he responded arrogantly before taking the time to explain his decision.

"I simply banished you from the realm so that I could put you out of my mind" he then drawled while looking at you with his piercing eyes. As usual, the expression on his face was lacking emotion but, deep down inside, you knew that he was regretful about the way he ended it with you. You could see it in his eyes alone.

"Did it work my lord? Did you indeed forget about me?" you wondered with a small twinkle in your eyes. The fact that he called upon you made you think that he did not and, perhaps, he even truly loved you at some point. 

"I am afraid not" the Endless responded with a small grin on his face but you still rolled your eyes at him, knowing that this was not good enough for you. He had released you from the Dreaming and allowed you to live in the Waking World, knowing that you were not deserving of any punishment when things didn't work out the way they were meant to work out for him two years ago. It was him who was at fault, so he would have to do much more now than just call upon you to cause you to return to the Dreaming and submit yourself to him again.

"My lord..." you began to say and Dream already knew that you were not going to give in easily and interrupted you. After all, he had created you and, with that, he had created your stubbornness.

"I owe you an apology" Morpheus began to say but you shook your head.

"An apology will not suffice" you said with all honesty just as your lord continued to explain himself in almost desperate attempt to get you to return to him and the Dreaming.

"I tried to forget every moment we shared, but the only thing I managed to lose was the intoxicating scent of you" he explained and, since he had created you just like a beautiful muse or goddess of some kind, he went even further than that.

"You taught me so much my beautiful dream and, without you in my realm, I cannot serve humanity without losing my purpose" Morpheus continued and it was at this point that you saw the sadness on his face.

"You sound unhappy" you said while pulling the fine satin of your nightgown closed, although it sure did not do much to imbue your body with modesty.

"I am despondent" Dream acknowledged and you could tell that, once again, he was growing weary of his duties to the Dreaming.
