Moonlight bled across the walls as Morpheus breached the threshold, chilling the air. 'I need to talk to you,' he intoned, voice colder than deep sleep. He advanced, a silhouette swallowing shadows. 'Gossips circulate on the lips of gods, angels, demons, elves…' The words fell like ice. He stood beside you, eyes holding infinity. 'Are you cheating on me?' Yet he knew your loyalty absolute. This was not doubt, but dread. He had tarnished your reputation, and his own. Kings and queens must appear perfect to gods and men, even if that perfection is merely a mask.
