Several weeks passed and you could still remember the dream so clearly, almost like it wasn’t a dream. But it had to have been, you had to have dreamt Morpheus. People couldn’t have stars for eyes, could they? Maybe the Endless could, that was what he called himself.
As you walked through the park, feeling the sun on your back, you smiled. It was a nice day and you were glad to be outside.
And then you saw him. Morpheus. With his black hair and pale skin and dark robes that had flames on it. You froze, you had convinced yourself it was a dream and it was a dream, you woke up from it and you had felt like you had slept.
Morpheus was walking towards you and you weren’t sure whether to run or to walk towards him. Deciding on the latter of the two, he hadn’t hurt you and he was still very beautiful, you moved in his direction.
“Morpheus,” you whispered as you reached him. “You’re real.”
“Yes,” he said, his lips turning into a slight smile. “Do you want to be immortal?”
You stared at him with raised eyebrows. “You were serious?”
“Yes, were you not?”
“I mean, I…” You trailed off, not wanting to offend the Lord of Dreams. Was it worth it?
“My sister, Death, she will not come for you if I ask but now I ask you,” he said with his velvety voice. “I can make you my Queen, the Queen of the Dreaming. I will give you everything I can if you will be my Queen.”
“You don’t know me,” you said quietly. “I don’t… I don’t really know you.”
You had met him once, in a dream. And then you start remembering some dreams you had forgotten and you only remember pieces, fragments. But all of them contained him. A dinner party, a ball, a walk in the park like this one.
“I do know you,” you whispered. Memories of jokes he didn’t understand, and sarcasm which he also didn’t really understand.
“Do you accept my offer?” he asked, reaching out for your hand. His hand was cold compared to yours.
Could you? Would you choose immortality for Morpheus and his realm of dreams?
“Could I visit my family and friends?”
“If that is what you wish,” he said with a nod. “But they will die.” You hummed. There were flying men and heros with superpowers and villains almost equally as powerful. Immortality surely wasn’t too unlikely to happen.
“Could you ask your sister to not take them too soon?” you asked. You wanted to live a long life and find happiness. They deserved it.
“I can ask Death but I make no promises.”
Slowly, you nodded. “Then… yes.” You squeezed his hand gently and stepped closer to him. “Yes, I accept your offer.”
Morpheus leaned down to kiss you before opening a portal, presumably to his realm. You had a new life and a man, who you now remembered enjoying the company of, to spend an eternity with.
