The Lady In Red Myth

Author note: this is obviously not Canon to the sandman stories or God myths, but I figure I make up my own myth and I personally feel like this could be a real story in the sandman universe.

This will be an "x reader" since the story, not Canon and I already made an OC love interest for Morpheus.

{●●●○○○}

Centuries ago, a beautiful woman and her lover, a warlock.

The woman was a singer and dancer who attended various nightclubs.

The warlock proposal and dare he say, he could make his lover’s wildest dreams come true more than the gods and endless. He was bold yet a fool.

How dare a mortal to say such things let alone a warlock.

The warlock did both dark and light magic by playing God and messing with the dreaming realm to fulfill his selfish and his lover’s desires without her knowing.

Unbeknownst to the Warlock he would be visited by Dream of the endless, but it would not be a friendly visit. 

 The Warlock had angered the Endless and cursed him into slumber to never be awoken again. 

When the woman came home to see her lover sleeping, she tried to wake him, but it was no use, and she feared the worst as she cried waterfall tears. 

As far as any doctor knew he was asleep until a witch told her what was truly wrong with her beloved was in danger. 

The witch told the young woman her lover had messed with the gods and foolishly “dream of the endless” and if she wanted to save her lover, she must travel to the dreaming realm and save his soul. 

The woman knew what needed to be done and she wasn’t about to let the endless take away her lover.

So, With the witch’s help the young mortal woman traveled to the dreaming realm and woo the dreaming creatures to let her through the gate through her singing.

It wasn’t until she was able to reach the throne room that she saw her lover broken and beaten down, 

There a King of the dreaming, Morpheus, dream of the endless was standing over him. but the woman soon stood in the way and the warlock was relieved he was saved, and his lover returned to him.

The young woman begged the King to have mercy for her lover did not know what he had truly done. 

Morpheus was not forgiving, especially to a mortal. He refused and did not listen as she begged and begged with tears falling from her eyes. 

“Take me instead!” she says as she screams and as the king hesitates, there was a way, but his subjects urge him not to make this action. 

He hasn’t even considered it in eons and the mortal woman notices his hesitation. 

“Name your price! I’ll do it please!” she begs once again as the dreaming residents heard and saw the mortal woman on her knees begging their King. 

“There...is a way,” he said coldly as if he couldn’t seem crueler. the Endless said the mortal woman had to make a deal with him. 

The lover had to sign her soul away to the King in order to save her male lover’s life. 

It was fair in a way and she had to do this for the King to let go of her lover from tormenting him or worse sending him to the shadow realm. 

So, without hesitation, the mortal woman looks the endless dead in the eye and signs the paper as a bright light shown and she looks away finishing her cursive writing. 

When the deed was done the mortal lovers reunited happily but, in the end, how does her male lover repay her? 

By running off with some mistress, the lover cried and cried of heartache as she saw her male lover leave her for some bimbo. 

The Mortal woman had asked if she were to die would she feel a thing and he responded, “You won’t feel a thing when you go down, nothing will wake you again.” 

Not months sooner, she died of a broken heart and her soul indeed travel to the dreaming realm, and for eternity spend her afterlife as “The Lady in Red” Crying looking for someone to fix her broken heart... 

Little did The Lady in Red know, her King cared for her deeply as all his subjects but also pity the poor woman with his beating heart.

I will redesign him a bit for Wisdom saga because his old design looked too much like Kaeya from genshin impact. Still keeping the eyepatch though, that's my favorite part of his design.

For his design I was mostly aiming for this intimidating, vain, kind of brute hunter aesthetic. I'm not really used to drawing manly men so he'll be quite the challenge to animate.

Author note: this kinda like a ship side story between Morpheus & The Lady In Red. I thought I��d be cute and it was inspired by this video!

A woman was sleeping soundly in her bed within her cozy cottage wrapped in warm blankets after knitting so many toys for children.

Then there was a continuous knocking sound on her wooden door, she grumbled in her sleep and slowly open her eyes.

“I’ll be right there…” she yawns as she slips into her fluffy slippers in her night gown.

The Lady heads for the door holding a candle and opens the door to reveal The King of the Dreaming realm.

It was her Lord Morpheus, she was surprised of course and couldn’t place why he was here on this cold night.

So, without hesitation the Lady let him inside her home. “My lord? May I ask what are you doing here?” She asks politely to her King.

“ I was doing some delectable research on human holidays and I found out something quite interesting…” he says as his subject lead him to the dinning table to sit while she made some tea.

“it’s Christmas Eve, So I put it upon myself to give you a gift. I do hope it is to your liking…Merry Christmas.” He says as he hands the woman a present.

The Lady was shock to say the least but holds the present close, “I know it’s not a lot and it doesn’t look pretty…” he continues.

“There was unfortunately no nice wrapping paper, but I do know you must miss your home dearly. So, I wanted to do something to cheer you up.” He says as The lady unwraps her present to see a beautiful coat.

“I made it myself, there was no coats that much your favorite colors so I took it upon myself to make you one…” he says and looks at the woman.

She is amaze by the gift, “You made this….for me?” She says smiling gleefully at Morpheus.

“Do….you like it?” He asks as the woman before him smiles, “Oh…My lord” she says as she places her hand on his.

“It’s beautiful, just like you…” she said causing her Lord Morpheus to blush deeply red.

They both had peppermint tea that night as the lady wore the beautiful, fluffy, warm coat.

As the King was about to take his leave,his subject held his hand, “Wait! You can’t leave! It’s simply too cold~” she says teasingly and jokingly.

This amuse the King and he turns and smiles at his companion, “Well, if you insist…I suppose I could stay for a little awhile.” He says as he gives the woman a small smile.

She giggles warmly, “Thank you, it’s always better with you here my Lord.” She says making Morpheus blush again but he coughs to cover the blush on his face and ears…
