In the Beginning
In the primordial dawn, before the foundations of this world were laid, there existed only Limbo—a vast and shadowed realm, sparsely peopled and heavy with sin. Grey mists clung to its barren expanses, and the air itself whispered of forgotten sorrows. Within this desolate place dwelt seven sisters, ordinary maidens born of mortal frailty, each bearing her own burdens and imperfections. They were orphans of war, bereft of kin and home, cast adrift in the endless twilight.
And it came to pass that upon a certain day these sisters encountered an ancient traveler, a weary old man cloaked in the dust of many ages. He tarried with them and engaged them in discourse, drawing forth the hidden depths of their souls with cunning words and gentle provocations, that their true natures might be revealed.
The eldest among them spoke with a friendly calm that hushed even the restless winds. Seeing this, the old man laid his hand upon her brow and declared, “Thou art Death.” And he granted unto her dominion over the end of all life, the final silence that claims every living breath.
The second sister hearkened unto his judgment with steadfast trust and unshakeable certainty. Therefore he renamed her Destiny, and all the threads of fate, both woven and yet to be, became her eternal domain.
The third sister was distant in thought, lost in visions and reveries beyond the veil of the waking world. Thus the traveler named her Dream, and unto her was given sovereignty over all the subconscious realms, the hidden kingdoms of sleep and shadow.
The fourth sister was bold and forward, her eyes bright with passion, her words warm with flirtation and overflowing with love’s fierce fire. Her he called Desire, and all realms of passion, lust, and longing heart were delivered into her keeping.
The fifth sister burned with righteous wrath and lashed out in her fury. Therefore she became Destruction, and the domains of war, conflict, ruin, and devouring flame were bound to her name.
The second youngest trembled in deep and abiding fear, her spirit ever shadowed by unseen terrors. Her the old man named Dread, and all fear—whether creeping or sudden, rational or mad—fell under her watchful gaze.
But the youngest sister was different, wondrous and set apart. Her eyes shone with hope and boundless wonder, her laughter a spark of creation itself. Upon her the traveler bestowed the name Delirium, and he gave into her hands the vast dominion of the mind and all creativity, the wild and glittering chaos from which new things are born.
Thus did the ancient one expend the whole of his magic. Spent and fading, he stood before them for a final moment, then turned and walked away into the mists, raising his hand in solemn farewell to the seven sisters.
And when the Limbo at last collapsed in upon itself, crumbling into dust and memory, the sisters remained. With their newfound power and solemn purpose they forged a new world from the ruins—this very reality in which we dwell.
Thus came into being the Great Forces that drive all mortal hearts: seven sisters, embodiments of primal truths, more ancient and mighty than the children of men can ever fully imagine. They take their sacred duties with utmost gravity, ever watching over their domains, guiding, shaping, and judging the lives of all who walk beneath the heavens.
And so it was, and so it shall be until the ending of all things.
Dream is the third sister, embodiment of the subconscious, fantasy, and the boundless world of make-believe. Her domain is one of the most vital and far-reaching among the sisters, for without Dream there would be no sleep, no imagination, no creativity, and no true thought. She is the quiet architect of free will and personal expression—the spark that allows every living being to envision what could be, to escape what is, and to shape their inner worlds. Dreams, daydreams, nightmares, wild fantasies, and even the hazy half-formed ideas that drift through waking minds all fall under her gentle, wandering influence.
Despite carrying such immense cosmic importance, Dream rarely acknowledges or concerns herself with her own significance. She is effortlessly careless about her duties, often appearing lost in her own thoughts, distracted by fleeting ideas, colors, and sensations that only she can fully perceive. Her attention drifts constantly, like a butterfly moving from one flower to the next without ever settling for long.
She has an ethereal, almost intangible presence. Dream always appears slightly blurry and difficult to focus on, as if she exists at the edge of memory or in that soft, liminal space between waking and sleeping. Looking directly at her feels like trying to recall a dream from years ago—the harder you try to pin down her details, the more they slip away. Her form seems to shimmer faintly, with soft edges that blend into her surroundings.
In appearance, Dream is a graceful young woman with long, dark, wind-swept hair that moves as though stirred by an invisible breeze even when the air is still. She favors flowing, romantic white dresses made of light, delicate fabrics that swirl and drift around her. She often wears a wide-brimmed straw hat that shades her face and gives her an air of gentle mystery. Her movements are fluid and unhurried, almost dance-like, as she trails her fingers through tall grass or reaches toward unseen wonders only she can see.
Personality-wise, Dream is deeply aloof and profoundly unserious. She speaks in abstract metaphors, poetic similes, and whimsical riddles, often changing the subject mid-sentence or trailing off into thoughtful silence. Conversations with her feel like stepping into a dream themselves—beautiful, confusing, and strangely profound. She might describe a simple event as “a silver fish leaping through curtains of yesterday” or compare someone’s emotions to “clouds wearing borrowed coats.” Trying to get a straight answer from her is usually futile, yet her words often linger in the mind long afterward, revealing unexpected truths.
She is easily distracted and rarely finishes one train of thought before another catches her interest. One moment she may be shaping an entire civilization’s collective dreams; the next she is floating through a field of flowers, humming to herself and completely forgetting the larger task. Her sisters have learned that this is simply her nature. Despite her carelessness, her domain functions perfectly—perhaps because imagination and fantasy thrive best when left wild and free.
Dream is not irresponsible so much as joyfully detached. She finds deep delight in the absurd, the impossible, and the beautiful nonsense of the mind. She loves stories that have no ending, ideas that contradict themselves, and emotions too complex to name. To her, reality is just one rigid dream among many, and she prefers the flexible, colorful ones.
When interacting with mortals, she rarely appears in her full form. Instead, she visits through their dreams and daydreams—sometimes as a comforting figure, sometimes as a strange guide, and occasionally as pure chaos that leaves them waking up with more questions than answers. She is neither deliberately kind nor cruel; she simply is what she is: the endless well of human (and inhuman) imagination.
Among her sisters, Dream is the free spirit who keeps the others from becoming too rigid. Even the serious Destiny tolerates her wandering ways, knowing that without Dream’s chaotic touch, fate itself would grow stale and brittle. Dream, for her part, drifts in and out of her sisters’ lives like a pleasant breeze, leaving behind half-remembered conversations and sparks of inspiration.
Beautiful, elusive, and forever lost in thought, Dream is the sister who reminds every soul that there is more to existence than what can be seen, touched, or logically understood. She is the gentle haze that softens the edges of reality and the quiet voice that whispers, “What if…?” in the back of every mind.
