A call is, itself, unusual. A call that cannot be resisted is unique. I am curious.
It was unquestionably true that the fox was in love with the young monk. And that was to be the cause of much misery and heartbreak… And of a strange journey.
The fear remained. It was there when he slept and there to greet him when he woke in the morning. It was fear that drove him… and fear that pushed him into darkness.
I walk by her side, and the darkness lifts from my soul. I walk with her, and I hear the gentle beating of mighty wings...
I have food and raiment. I need the tools stolen from me by my former captor. He will give them to me. And he will give me the other thing I crave... revenge.
It was a dark and stormy nightmare...
I have always been solitary, but here on the nightward shores of dream, loneliness washes over me in waves, lapping and pulling at my spirit.
Once more I will offer my love to you, once more, and that is all. If you refuse me a third time, I will condemn your soul to eternal pain. So I ask you, sweet love, for the last time, will you be my queen?
I am a passenger. I am moving through your dreams. I am riding in your dreams.
Her kind walk amids the flotsam of lives they have sacrificed, for their own purposes, till friendless and alone they needsmust make the final sacrifice.
I do not know what game they are playing. But I know this. I am angry, Lucien. And it's my move.
It is my fault, I am afraid. I created you poorly, then. As I do uncreate you now.
I am sorry, Rose. There is nothing personal about this. We all have responsibilities, and this is one of mine. I am sorry.
We came to an... arrangement, four years back. I'd give him what he thinks he most desires-- and in return he'd write two plays for me. This is the first of them.
I had not wished to return to Hell. Not yet. Lucifer Morningstar is not one to forgive a slight, nor to forget an injury. But if I have committed a wrong, then I have but one course. It must be set right.
This has been amusing, little ghost, and that was not something I expected. But every playtime must come to an end. This dream is over.
You caused a great deal of damage. Nothing I cannot repair. Not at this stage, anyway. I am the lord of this realm, Rose Walker. And I think the time has come for us to talk.
You disgust me, Richard Madoc. You want ideas? You want dreams? You want stories? Then ideas you will have. Ideas in abundance.''
They dreamed the world so it always was the way it is now, little one. There never was a world of high cat-ladies and cat-lords. They changed the universe from the beginning of all things, until the end of time.
Calm yourself, Hippolyta. You have nothing to fear from me, today. I have come to see your son.
You have called me here, Haroun. It is unwise to summon what you cannot dismiss.
It comes to me now, Lucien. But it was a very long time ago. I had thought the skerry long-since crumbled, the compact forgotten and void. I was in error. Ah well. We must wait and see how things fall.
Hush now. I need silence from all of you, while I do uncreate this land. It is an old land, and it is time for it to rest.
It is not important. It has happened already, or it is still to come. And forewarned is seldom forearmed. Not even in the shifting zones.
The deal? Delirium will drive. You will advise her. I am sure you will find the experience one of great interest and variety.
You want the Hell that was Lucifer's. I cannot suppose that you came here relying on my good nature, or my sense of natural justice. What are you offering me, Azazel?
I assumed that you would wait for me to make an announcement before electing yourselves Lords of Hell. I see I was wrong.
I do not do this for you, little emperor. I do it for another, who has asked me to intercede on your behalf.
He has his dignity, sister-brother. He is, after all, an emperor.
As I say, it might be simple accident that Ruby's room was where the fire started. As it might be coiincidence that our first quarry chose yesterday to be hit by a falling building. Reason was never an important part of my dominion. But certain conclusions become inescapable.
We do not have to do anything Delirium. All we have done thus far is bring death and damage to those we seek. No more.
We met in a tavern, Johanna, five years ago.
Cluracan, it is one to me whether you live or die. It is one to your sister, and she serves me well and faithfully. I would not see her needlessly distressed.
There. For your service, a gift. If in need, hold the stone with both hands, and call me. I will come to you, you may have one boon.
You will neither destroy it nor will you destroy me.
We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us. And we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions.
Omnia mutantur, nihil interit.
I am Prince of stories, Will; but I have no story of my own. Nor shall I ever.
You. I know you. There is some of me in you.
Sometimes you wake, and sometimes, yes, you die. But there is a third alternative...
Well, all of you come here, sooner or later. This place is the heart of all your Dreaming, after all.
You are welcome in this place. But you should not be here.
I see. Then we are not friends, you and I, Sibling. Not any longer. Do not interfere further in my affairs.
If you wish to think of it like that. It would be more accurate to state that we are all aspects of us.
I hold on to the dream... I feel it ripping though me: the pain of a universe coming into existence...
I did not... need rescuing... I was doing... perfectly well... on my own...
