The Sandman

Season of Mists

Desire angers Dream by taunting him about his intolerant treatment of a former lover, whose story formed the prologue to the second collection, The Doll's House. Death angers him further by agreeing with Desire, but Dream's immense respect for Death leads him to seriously consider her assessment as he would not for Desire. He eventually cedes to her wisdom in the matter and leaves his realm to travel to Hell, where he imprisoned his lover, Nada, some 10,000 years previously.
