Daniel of the Endless

The Sandman Lord Morpheus Dreamstone Ruby Pendant made from 22kt. Gold plated 925 Sterling Silver Dream Ruby Necklace Halloween Jewelry Gift

Inspired by WW84. Seriously, how did I not think of this sooner? After the events of 1984, when Maxwell renounced his wish, the dream stone was reformed, but it was no longer in his office. Drawn by the orderly magic Ladybug’s cure emanated, the dream stone wound up at a store selling crystals and dreamcatchers. Curious about the stone, the shipowner wished he could make big money from such an ancient find as this. He got his wish. The museum bought the stone for a hefty price (at the behest of Jalil who insisted that the stone was used for temple priests or some such nonsense) The shipowner grew rich, and soon lost his wealth when robbers read the news about his good fortune. Jalil wished his father would take him seriously. Alix told her friends about the stone that finally caused her father to set his foot down and sent Jalil to seek help. Tikki and Plagg recognised the handiwork of the god of lies. Separately, they told their wielders that Chat must wield cataclysm to destroy the stone. It’s kind of similar to their combined miraculous. One wish for a price. The difference is that the stone keeps bringing down civilisations and allows the wishers to renounce their wish. The good news is that Hawkmoth shouldn’t know about this stuff because this isn’t really Kwai lore, and Nooroo has no reason to tell it to him. Luckily the museum was willing to give the stone and let it be destroyed. (It really wasn’t worth much beyond wishing value. Hello, it’s citrine!) Unfortunately Hawkmoth already stole the stone. It was Duusu who revealed its powers when she recalled the good old times before the ancient kingdoms had their downfalls. Realising this was an easier way of attaining his wish, Gabriel stole the dream stone and wished for the return for his wife. Now, what would be the thing Gabriel loved, next to his wife? Not his son (watch Chat Blanc). Not Nathalie (if he really cared for her, he would have stopped her transforming into Mayura sooner). What Gabriel loves is control, being in charge of his perfect world. Emilie reappeared in Nathalie’s body. ouch. So Adrien was confused that Nathalie had become more motherly, but oh well. He never minded his father remarrying. But now the company was having trouble. His designs had lost their touch because it was based on the heroes of Paris, and of course every other clothing store had animal themed clothes. Lila’s employment had caused resentment among other employees and finally given her old enemies a chance to get their revenge by announcing her misdeeds. Worse, Adrien’s fans/friends had actually managed to call child support to accuse Gabriel of neglect. Gabriel was struggling to maintain control. He just got Emilie back, nothing could ruin this for him. Oh, except maybe Adrien found the dream stone and connected the dots. Heartbroken, he dutifully reported his father’s terrorism.
Gabriel was arrested and the Agreste family would be having a hard time now. Ladybug comforted Chat. It was such a mess. The dream stone had caused such a ruckus already with just a few wishes. But of course, destroying it meant that the wishes were reversed. Jalil was free. The robbers were caught. Gabriel was still under arrest (memories were not erased), but he managed to make sure that Adrien would have a financially secure future. Ladybug and Chat Noir assured Adrien was innocent, and come on, the dude was neglected and reported his own dad. Why would he have been working with Hawkmoth?

Across all Times, across all dimensions, they existed, exist and will exist. They are the Endless, the manifestations of the great concept, the ideas that breach through every aspect of life itself. They began when the universe was young and they will end only when the last kernel of life will expire. Every mortal race, every kin and folk that ever existed know of them, for they are integral to the existence itself. They give them many names. They dress them in visages and masks that suits their culture, their shape... Their imagination. And so, they take on such roles, always performing their duties across all of reality, their dominions spreading their tendrils to every corner of creation. Time might’ve been a cruel mistress to Earth, transforming it into the globe of Posterra – a planet of ruined realms. Humanity is long gone, but life, like cancer, persist. And with it, they do as well. And now more than ever they take keen interest in the stories of this place, for the Dreadwake is unnatural, powerful and alien even to them, a peculiar Antilife, a creation alien to their own that came from outside all that could be. No wonder then that Dream of the Endless is seen far and wide, visiting dreams, sending visions, crafting nightmares of such exquisite composition. He is Morpheus, the lord of dream. Oneiros, Sandman, Kai’ckul, Lord L’Zoril. He is the Lord Shaper, Prince of Stories. To the awakened machine he is the Dark Behind. To the fungi of the bogs he is the Soporific Presence. To the kinfolk of the sea he is the Depths of the Mind. Many names, many titles, same entity of great power – garben in his ancient helmet, the mighty Dreamstone and the sand of dreams he reshapes the minds of mortals in his ever-changing domain of dreams.
