#in Sandman canon it was the Presence aka God who set up the laws the Endless follow

[lightdancer1]

New chapter up:

Our sister's defiance of the laws raises the reality that has drawn these entities to act. Her role as the one voice who can speak as the great diplomat and as a source whom all can rely upon to speak means she has become indispensable beyond the rules and her adhering to them would become a catastrophe in its own right. From that fear they spoke to the legend, asked it to intervene.

His hand was on his sister's shoulder and he could feel a fierce heat like that of a fever. 

So it did, and now she is here. 

Silence fell. 

How do we aid her, brother? 

A brief flash of sorrow crossed Destiny's face. 

It is the nature of what has been and what will be that we cannot. Not at at present. 

A silence fell, for a time. 

I do not accept that, big brother. 

Desire took a step forward. 

Our sister, for once in her life, refused to accept something. She learned from the fate of my twin, the first version of her, and she actually acted for our big brother. 

Dream did not push Desire's hand from his shoulder when they set it there, curious as to where Desire was going with this. 

Are we to sit back and allow the rule that for one of us to aid another, even unasked, is to be a kind of great evil?
