A Promise Made on Waterwillow

Dream made a deal with a god long ago. He wanted to achieve the impossible, bring the dead back to life. He didn't need Tommy, per se, but having him as a shield was better than nothing. Besides, the god seemed to want Tommy for a reason it wouldn't say. But now, Tommy's escaped, and his plans are falling apart.

When Tommy learned of Dream's true plans with him, of Xidea's plans, he knew he couldn't stay. So he ran to the only place he could think of - an old mansion by the name of Snowchester, where he knew at least shelter was waiting for him. But Snowchester was never meant to be permanent, after all - there was only so long he could hide before Dream came to retrieve Xidea's secret weapon.
