Destiny walks through his garden, considering his role. The three fates greet him and tell him a new battle is beginning. Destiny calls a meeting of his siblings. All six of them—Death, Dream, Desire, Despair, and Delirium (the “Prodigal,” Destruction, no longer attends any family meetings)—gather and tension brews, particularly between Dream and Desire. Destiny explains that he has called the meeting because his book tells him that they were all to meet at this time and that the meeting will spark a chain of important events, but he says no more. Desire taunts Dream with reminisces about his past loves, including Nada, to which Dream is particularly sensitive. He storms off and is joined by Death, who tells him that Desire was right, and Dream treated Nada badly. Dream decides it’s time to go back to hell and free her. Destiny then ends the meeting because the chain of events has now begun.
Dream summons Lucien, Matthew, and the rest of his dream kingdom to tell them he is going to visit Hell. He knows it isn’t wise to go since he angered Lucifer by humiliating him in front of all the demons in hell, and Lucifer will want his revenge.
