Everything can be done, if you will just pay the price. Everything. Anything. The questions is not "can?", but "at what cost?".

Fact: Dream of the Endless is the third most powerful concept in the universes.
Fact: Thus he is also the third most Rule-Bound entity in the universes.
Fact: He is often barred from acting where others would act.
Fact: His Lady Wife is often thrown into dangerous situations.
Fact: Dream of the Endless can not always help her.
Fact: This kills him as much as the Furies did.
Fact: Dream of the Endless, as personified by Morpheus, and Daniel, loves Moiraine more than he loves being Dream.

They can communicate, Morpheus and Daniel, through something which is not at all like speech, and not at all like simply knowing. It is more like the memory of having spoken with each other arriving at the same time.

This example is wrong. The words do not exist.

I have existed since the beginning of time. This is a true thing. I am older than worlds and suns and gods. But tomorrow I will meet my brother and sisters for the first time.

Dream has always existed. Morpheus has always existed. Daniel has always existed. Nyarlathotep has always existed. In all of time, they have always communicated in a way that they did not even know until recently.

Facets of a being so great that the mind refuses to conceive of it. So large, so vibrant and full of power that there is a separate face for every being in every universe.

Anything can be achieved, if you are willing to pay the price.

Daniel was also human, once. Briefly, simply a baby, but he was human once. Dream can not be human.

Dream is part of the Dreaming, the visible and conceptualized representation of what is known as his realm. Dream is the understandable fragment of the Dreaming. The most of the Dreaming that any given being can comprehend is given the name Dream and interacted with.

They talk about the difference in Dream, and dreams. They examine the situation from several angles. They watch her sleep, using Morpheus' eyes. They consider. They debate. They come to an agreement.

Anything. For a price.

The first stage, taking less time than reading the sentence does, is to shift complete control over the Warder bond to her. They will not chance it breaking.

The second stage can best be defined as stepping down and stepping forward at once.

Just remember what the French say. No, probably not the French, they've got a president or something. The Brits, maybe, or the Swedes. You know the one I mean? No, Matthew. What do they say?

It hurts...
She is gone...

Star eyes look into star-eyes. Snow-white skin touches faintly colored skin as they rest palms against each other.

Protect her.
You know I will.
Of course. I am sorry.
I love her too.
I will leave when you are ready.
I know.

The king is dead. That's what they say. The king is dead. Long live the king.
