A.N: I found a challenge the other day. The Never Challenge, on the HPFC forum. If you read this, sick-atxxheart, I hope you forgive me for using another fandom. I have tried to explain as much as possible in the fic, but if you are confused, ask me. I'll gladly explain certain things.
And, as usual, if there are any mistakes spotted, either from the comic or spelling mistakes, please tell me where so I can correct them.
Also, if I have made grammar mistakes, please alert me. English is my second langue so I would very much appreciate it if I have either forgotten a small detail or have made a mistake.
Disclaimer: I do not own any character from The Sandman. They are owned by the fantastic Neil Gaiman. I am a student who stays too late at night writing stories, and I actually live across two sea's and in a different time zone.
My twin is planning once again. First you Desire, then you Despair because you can't get what you want. Therefore we were born at the same time, if we can say that The Endless were born at all. We are seven beings, Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium.
We all have our domains, where we go as we please. Or, we could. But we don't. Only Death, my eldest sister does so. Mortals claims she is everywhere, but the truth is that in the end everything dies.
Even we who call ourselves The Endless will die. We are replaced until the universe is dead. Then we all will be gone before Death destroys everything including herself. The others may or may not know, but I do. There is much logic in what I am after all.
But back to my sisterbrother. Whenever she/he calls me and plots something I am the one who is informed. And I am the one who has stopped my twin in committing murder. She/he made Nada (a queen who ruled a long time ago in what the mortals now call Africa) fall in love with our brother, Dream.
Who do you think made the mortal woman reject him? I did, my twin. After the decision was made, that no mortal was to fall in love with The Endless shortly after the incident with Killalla of the Glow, they began to despise each other. What did she/he expect? Dream was heartbroken. She told Killalla that our brother was lonely. And then my twin made Sto-Oa and Killalla fall in love in front of him. And our brother doesn't forgive easily. My twin should had known what would happen. Then she/he acted like a selfish child, taunting, teasing and hating our brother. It was left to me to handle the mess.
That's why I stopped Nada from fulfilling her love. Because I honor the rules. Our guidelines. Just as I made Unity Kinkaid take the glass heart which is the Vortex. Our brother could had saved himself from much Despair if the pulled out the hearts our sisterbrother have created to destroy his realm, and gave them to dreams he weren't happy with or perhaps were dying. But he is a slow learner indeed. So many centuries where he has killed people born as my twin's tool… I wonder what he thinks of it?
And there is one more thing. Shortly after I saw how my sisterbrother reacted to Dream's resentment, I promised myself "I will never allow The Furies to take you."
Yes, you may laugh of his/her mad twin as I tell you this. But do you really know what happens if The Furies decide that someone has broken their cause? They find mortals who gains The Furies powers, and use the mortal as a tool of vengeance. And even tough they fear Death, our eldest sister, I doubt she will interfere.
Yes, sisterbrother, I deceive you. I play the role as a supporting relative, when truth is that I stop your projects. You haven't realized it yet. But one day you will, my twin.
And when that time comes, I hope that you are mature enough to understand why.
