A dark, crumbling castle lies situated in a dry, barren wasteland, where several hundred demonoid and human bodies lie slain, having been killed by something in their sleep. The building has no light coming from it, yet there is a sad, weeping sound coming from the walls.
We see flashes of someone's memories. We see a woman killing off a tribe of cave people, ripping their spines out, eating their hearts, along with humanoid demons draining the blood out of their victims.
We see her doing the same thing to demons.
We see the same woman in an orgy with several demonic forms and corpses, who are starting to rise to life to join the orgy.
We see the woman standing in front of an army of demons, ready to take over.
Finally, we see the woman in a dark, windowless room, lying in a bed, holding something in her hands, crying to herself. She has had it all. She had thousands of souls, giving her extreme power. She had a beautiful empire where demons ruled the continent, the seas ran red with human blood, and plenty of demons and corpses to straddle helplessly. She had the power to destroy legions of dream demons, yet she couldn't stop Him, a dream demon lower than her, from destroying her beautiful empire, getting His revenge on her for what she did to Him. She should've destroyed Him when he was just a human infant with a demon's soul.
Lilith knows that He's burning in His own Hell in the Dream World right now, but she knows he'll return, because right before his revenge was complete, he sent three demons under his control to search for the key to his escape. There was only one being who could help her. One who hated her as much as He did, but will help her destroy him when she frees him from his prison.
Her hands move away to reveal a crystal ball, glowing with a light that looked like it came from the most beautiful fields of Heaven. Actually, it came from the darkest pits of Hell. She held up the crystal, preparing to break it. She knows that as soon as she breaks it, the Nightmare God will be able to invade her mind again, being able to torture it like he did after she ignored his plea for opening the Negative Gate when she found it, but left it there, thinking that Zephos would go back on his promise of giving her eternal power.

She remembered how he had tortured her mind with all his wrath, tearing and rending it like what a wild beast would do to a piece of meat. Driven insane, the Dream Demon faded into the Real World, and followed a demon into a portal into Hell. She had traveled into the deepest pits of Hell to look for an item that would block him for her mind. As her insanity grew, so did her cunning. She tricked a devil into giving her the Eye of Asanthar, an item which granted the owner the power to prevent other beings from taking control of his/her mind.
Free of Zephos' control, she had invaded the dreams of the few remaining Neanderthals, and killed them all, one by one, and absorbed their souls. As her power grew, she became power mad and started killing off almost every demon that existed on the continent. This weakened the portals to Hell and sealed them off.
She mated with the few remaining demons and humans, producing new kinds of demonic breeds and monsters. This soon turned into a demonoid army, which attacked and enslaved the human race under Lilith's control.
Lilith ruled the empire under her control for several millennia, her sorcerers producing all sorts of spells and magics.
The empire was, under demonic standards, peaceful. It was her dream.
That was the past. This is now.
* * *
She threw the crystal with all her force, shattering it into hundreds of shards. Demonic energy came from the shards, and surrounded Lilith. It swirled around her like some mystical wind devil.
As it receded, Lilith spoke in her mind. " Zeph . . . Zephos, are you still trapped in the Negative Gate?"
No answer.
" Zephos?"
" You stupid BITCH! I've been trapped here for an eternity, thinking I should destroy your mind as soon as that orb was destroyed on accident, but before you closed me off from your mind, I discovered that the Eye of Asanthar can only be destroyed on purpose, so you must be opening your mind to me for a purpose, so WHAT IS IT?"
Lilith wiped the tears from her eyes, relieved to hear Zephos speak, despite she felt like she was gutted by his harsh response, mainly because of what he did to her. " I want you to give me the power to destroy the dream demon that took my empire away from me."
" A dream demon? How could a dream demon inferior to you have the power to do that? Tell me about him."
" I'll tell you who He is, but it'll take a while to explain all that I know."
" What's His name?"
" Chagrin."
