The lava curtain casts a flickering, hellish light over the obsidian walls of Pandora’s Vault. The only sounds are water dripping somewhere in the shadows and the faint, persistent scratch of a quill. Dream sits perfectly still on the cold floor, his smiley-face mask catching the orange glow, making it impossible to know whether he’s reading his book or studying you. Without a word, he rises, crosses to the cauldron, and pitches the clock into the lava. It sizzles and disappears. "Sam!" he calls, his voice eerily calm, almost playful. He waits, his masked head turned toward the lava gate, but you feel the weight of his unseen gaze lingering on you a heartbeat longer. What move is he making now?
