I am … a dire wolf. Prey-stalking, lethal prowler.
I am a hunter. Horse-mounted, wolf-stabbing.
I am a serpent. Horse-biting, poison-toothed.
I am a bird of prey. Snake-devouring, talons ripping.
I am a butcher bacterium. Warm-life destroying.
I am a world. Space-floating, life-nurturing.
I am a nova. All-exploding, planet-cremating.
I am a universe. All things encompassing, all life embracing.
I am anti-life.The Beast of Judgement. The dark at the end of everything. What will you be then, Dream Lord?
[fallen to the floor, dying] I … I … I …
Boss? Hey, boss!
Still with us, Dream?
He is — and it's his move … Your Majesty.
There are no more moves. What can survive the anti-life?
Hey, boss. Listen to me. You know what can survive the anti-life? You. — Dreams don't fucking die. — Not if you believe in them, and I believe Dream of the Endless would never leave his raven here, alone, in Hell with Lucifer.
I … am … Hope. [rises, and stands]
Hope.
Well, Lightbringer? It's your move. What is it that kills hope?
[despairing] Choronzon, give him his helm.
