Either this takes place before the comics begin, or else it's from an alternate universe, since the ruby was destroyed.

Dream stood at the very edge of the Dreaming, high on a cliff, weaving dreams, with his ruby in hand.

Lucien walked up. "Milord?" he asked, after some time. "Is it necessary for you to place so much of your power in one stone?"

"I need tools to perform my duties," Dream said.

"But the ruby could be stolen," Lucien said, "by those who wish to expropriate a portion of your power. Or it could be lost."

Dream smiled. "I shall be careful, Lucien-"

The ruby suddenly slipped from his fingers, and fell away, lost to eternity.

Dream sighed sadly.
