Lucienne.

-Back so soon?
-Yes.

How did things go in my absence?

All goes well, my lord.

And your quest?

Are you nearer to
finding... your brother?

I have no desire
to find my brother.

However,

it occurs to me
that certain forces

might be acting counter to
our interests in this matter.

Perhaps you should
make inquiries.

I would know who.

And I will know why.

I will look into the
matter immediately.

Anything else?

Only that...

And it's not my place to say this, I...
only met your brother a few times, but...

I liked him enormously.

I also respected him.

I think it might be good
for you to speak with him.

About what?

Why he left.

I think he tried
to tell me once.

But I did not listen.

Nor did I hear.

Sir.

Sir.

You look well, brother.

-As do you.
-Mm.

Although I must
confess, I am curious...

As to why I called you here?

Come.

Myself, I find I spend an
ever-increasing amount of time

in this mortal realm.

It speaks to me.

-And what does it say, I wonder?
-I'll show you.

This is what you
wanted to show me?

That they are cutting up apes?

Do they think that they can
impale her soul on their blades?

Cut deep enough to
extract her dreams?

Reason is a flawed
tool, my brother.

That is why I called you here.

Because one member
of the Royal Society

has prismed the rays of the sun

into beams of discrete color.

Ah, but Mr. Newton,

who ordered the rainbow,

has much else to say on
the subject of optics.

Are not light and gross
bodies inter convertible?

I fail to understand you.

I have seen this before.

After a while, certain ideas,
they... they become inevitable.

Such as?

That which the
Greeks called atomos.

The atom, that... that which is
uncuttable, they will find a way to cut.

That is how they will destroy
each other and themselves.

Yes.

But why tell me?

It does not affect my realm

and does little to yours that
will not change once more.

And as you say,

you have been here before.

Many times and in many worlds.

And for how much longer?

As long as they need us.

Are not light and gross
bodies inter convertible?

Alas, they are.

And from that comes
the release of energies

that will melt the flesh from
their bones and topple their cities

and blot out the sun.

And then follows
my time, brother.

The age of fire and flame.

If he loved humanity...

then why abandon them?

To...

To avoid being the one
responsible... for their destruction.

And having to carry
the shame of that.

There is no shame in
fulfilling one's duties.

There is if,

in doing that, you
destroy the ones you love.

I must return to
the waking world.

Thank you.

You must be Alvin's friend.

Alvin?

My late nephew.

Here.

The book you asked for.

Thank you.

You missed the open coffin
at his folks' place.

I have to say,

they made Alvin look pretty good

after the morticians
were through with him.

They cut his hair and put
him in a suit and everything.

Why would they do that?

Because this isn't for him.

This is for them.

These are church people.

They are grieving.
Do you understand?

They believe this was God's
judgment on Alvin for who he was.

I assure you it was not.

I loved my nephew very much.

But he was never
very happy here.

Was...

...Wanda happy?

She was entirely herself.

At all times.

Well, how many of
us can say that?

Well, the service is
about to start, so...

Um...

Maybe you should
stand in the back.

It's not right.

Putting that name
on her headstone.

I must ask a favor of you.

Dream, I can't.

But it is my fault
that she is dead.

That all of them are dead.

I can't bring them
back once they're gone.

You know that.

I'm glad that you came.

Someone had to fix
this gravestone.

That's nice of you.

I had to do something to
try and make things right.

It's too late when they're
dead, little brother.

Better to focus on the
ones who are still with us.

I don't know if you've noticed,
but Delirium's sigil's gone dark.

I know. She has
closed her realm.

Does that surprise you?

You were using her.

Has Desire told
the entire family?

They were concerned about her.

As am I. As you should be.

I am.

But what am I to do?

Go to her realm and talk to her.

Just show up.

Be her big brother.

I'm not having her go the
same way Destruction did.

Will you come with me?

-She'll think I put you up to it.
-You did.

-Thought you wanted to make things right.
-I do.

Look at the mess
I've made of it.

Be patient with her.

She doesn't see things the way you
do. That doesn't make her wrong.

That sort of wisdom is why
you should be coming with me.

I'm meeting someone.

Go.

Go.

You all right?

It's weird.

Growing up, I hated this place.

And I can't believe I'm
saying this, but Kansas is

beautiful.

Sorry about what
they did to you.

Hair and your clothes.

It was never about the
hair or the clothes.

It was about... who
and how I chose to be.

And no one can ever change that.

But I will miss my body.

We had a lot of fun together.

And I learned so much.

I'm ready for
whatever's next now.

Then take my hand.

Okay.

Now arriving at
our final stop.

Sister!

You have a remarkable sundial.

It's stopped.

I don't like it at all.

It's stopped, and
it won't go anymore.

And I hate it.

And I hate you!

Well, perhaps you should.

I deserve it.

Go away.

If that is what you wish,
then... I will go away.

But first, if I may...

I would speak with you.

I've come here to
tell you that I am...

sorry.

I lied to you.

And I broke your trust.

And I recognize that.

And if you or any of our
siblings had done the same to me,

then I would never
have forgiven you.

So I will not ask forgiveness.

But I will ask...

if you're amenable...

that we resume our
journey together.

Dream...

do you like me?

Well, you never fail to surprise
me, which is no small feat.

And it distresses me
to see you troubled.

So...

I suppose I must.

Well, I think I like you too.

When you're not being scary.

Let's go find Destruction
properly this time.

Without hurting anyone else.

Mortal or otherwise.

So we're not going to find
Etain of the Second Look?

No.

This is a family matter, and
we shall take it to the family.

Are you going to call a meeting?

-Certainly not.
-Well, then who?

Because Desire said no,

and Despair said, "No,
I will not help you."

Our elder brother.

Destiny won't tell us anything.

True. But...

what he does not say is often
more revealing than what he does.

There.

It's finished.

-Are you ready for this, Barnabas?
-As I'll ever be.

I call this Basilisk and
Cockatrice: A Moral Poem.

Oh, for God's sake.

I dreamed I saw a basilisk

A what?

It's a mythical reptile
with a deadly gaze.

If you say so.

I dreamed I saw a basilisk
That basked upon a rocky shore

I looked upon the basilisk

With eyes of stone,
I looked no more

Oh. At least it wasn't long.

I dreamed I saw a cockatrice

Chewing on a piece of bone

I gazed upon the cockatrice

One cannot gaze
with eyes of stone

Doggerel.

Excuse me?

Rubbishy doggerel.

Really?

Really. And not even good
doggerel, which is usually funny.

Well, you'd know,
eh? "Doggerel."

And now that we know you are
neither a poet nor a comedian,

is there any other creativity
for which I should brace myself?

Just the usual.

I'll finish painting,

you will lay in the sun,
scratch yourself, romp about...

-Eat, sleep.
-Don't be jealous.

And maybe you'll gaze up at me adoringly
from time to time, my faithful hound.

In your dreams.

I don't dream.

You wouldn't do to give too
much away, especially not now.

I don't see what you're
so worried about.

That's because you've
never met my family.

Yes, you two arrive here now.

Welcome to you both.

I take it you know
why we're here.

Indeed.

Will you help us?

-Certainly.
-You will?

I thought you wouldn't.

My advice is this.

Forget this foolishness
and go home.

I knew it.

When our brother told us he was
leaving, he advised us to leave him be.

Until now, you have been
content to respect his wishes.

Do likewise in the time to come.

I made a promise to our sister.

A false promise.

Which I now intend to keep.

Will you tell us
where to find him?

If I answer, a new pathway
will appear in my garden.

It is safer for you not to ask.

Will you tell us where
to find him, brother?

I may only tell you what Ishtar
told you when you visited her.

If you wish to find our brother,
you will need an oracle.

There is no oracle that
tells of our family.

There is one.

You have let yourself forget.

There is, after all, an
oracle who is of the family.

My son.

What does your
book say about him?

Ask me no more questions.

Leave this place.

Return to your
realm. I beg of you.

You have known all this time.

The Fates' prophecy,
Nada, Destruction.

Dream...

They were all
leading to my child.

That is entirely up to you.

You were there.

His wedding.

He had a premonition.

Eurydice.

He asked for my help.

Eurydice!

Eurydice!

Orpheus!

Father?

You're here.

You... You came.

I would not miss my
son's wedding day.

Father, I had a
very strange dream.

A nightmare.

About Eurydice.

Am I a hedge wizard, that I should
decipher your dreams for you?

Of course not. Forgive me.

Dreams are composed
of many things.

Images, hopes,

fears, memories...

of the past,

and of the future.

So I was dreaming
about the future?

Something that
hasn't happened yet?

Dreams are subject
to interpretation.

But this is your realm, Father.

And I am your son. Why won't
you tell me what you know?

Because you are my son.

Orpheus, come.

Mustn't be late to
your own wedding.

We found him!

Are you all right?

Yes, of course.

Your family was taking
very good care of me.

Aw, isn't this nice?

I love weddings.
Especially family weddings.

Thank you, Teleute.

I was not certain you
would come, my sister.

It's not just me.

It's all of us.

Thank you for
coming, Aunt Aponoia.

I wish you well, Orpheus.

After all, most
marriages end in misery.

But isn't love wonderful?

I wish you both everything
your hearts desire.

Thank you, Epithumia.

I was nearly married once.

But that was a
very long time ago.

And it was probably my fault.

But good luck.

So, you're marrying my
favorite nephew, eh, lassie?

Go you both well, my children.

-Thank you, Olethros.
-Thank you.

Uncle?

Will you not wish us well?

I am Destiny. I do not wish.

I know.

What must happen will happen.

That is the way of it.

The priestess awaits, children.

Your wedding begins.

Come.

We call upon Hymenaios,
lord of marriage,

to watch over these two
people in their lives,

which will henceforth
be lived as one,

heart to heart, body to body,

until the sundering of death.

You may embrace one another.

Why aren't you dancing?

Because I do not dance.

Not even with your wife?

At your son's wedding?

Are you rubbish on
the dance floor?

Have our siblings left?

They had things to do.

But you remained?

I also have things
to do, brother.

Will you dance with me?

I confess,

I am my father's
son, in that regard.

Did I not marry a dancer?

No, you did not.

And if you see me dance, you
may not wish to remain married.

-Now you have to dance with me.
-No, not in public, for both our sakes.

As a matter of fact, there happens to
be a nice, secluded glade out back,

with a full moon shining.

You are allowed to
just hold me and sway.

I can think of far
better things we could do

in a glade, in the moonlight.

Where to?

Wait, wait. Wait for me.

Come!

Eurydice.

Eurydice.

Eurydice.

Help!

Someone, please!

Please.

Orpheus...

Aunt Teleute, it's Eurydice.

I know.

Will you stay with her?

Please, I... I'm going
to get some help.

-Help!
-Eurydice.

Teleute?

Sorry, love.

It's time.

I apologize for the delay.

We may begin.

Without Orpheus?

He isn't coming.

Where is he?

He's not ready.

I will find him.

You should go to the funeral.

And say goodbye.

I can't.

You attend the funeral, you bid
the dead farewell, you grieve,

and then you continue
with your life.

How?

There will be times when the fact
of her absence overwhelms you.

And you will weep.

But this will happen
less and less, I promise.

She is dead.

You are alive.

So live.

She is still alive.

In the underworld.

No.

She was taken too soon.

That is not for you to say.

Will you not go to King Hades and
Queen Persephone and plead my case?

They will listen to you.

And when they demand your
life in exchange for hers?

I will gladly give it.

But I will not.

I will not trade
my son's life away.

If I'm your son, then
you will do this for me.

I've lived my whole life.
I've asked you for nothing.

Will you do this for me?

No.

-But Father...
-No more.

If you will not do this for me,

then I am no longer your son.

Suicide, eh? You certain
that's your wisest course?

If Eurydice and I can't
be together in this world,

then we can be together
in the underworld.

That is the stupidest thing
that I have heard in centuries.

-You don't understand.
-And you are a romantic fool.

You're more in love with
the idea of the girl,

with the idea of love,
than the girl herself.

-Take that back.
-Calm down.

You're just like your father.

I take it you've spoken
to him about this?

Yes. He refused to help me.

Well, I'm sure he
had his reasons.

He does care for you, Orpheus.

He has a strange
way of showing it.

Aye.

Well, that's his way.

He's set in his ways.

What can I do?

I do not want to
live without her.

Well...

death is hardly my province.

Have you spoken to
your aunt about it?

Teleute?

Can she help me?

She can do whatever she wants,
but there'll be conditions.

But then, there always are.

How do I find her?

I mean... usually she just...

turns up.

You could go to her house.

Will you send me?

Please, Uncle.

Stand back.

She's right through there.

Will she see me, though?

Of course she'll see you.

Sooner or later,
she sees everyone.

-Looking for something?
-I'm... I'm so sorry.

If I'd known I was gonna have
company, I would've tidied up.

This place is so strange.

Well, to... to my eyes.

-I'm impressed you found it.
-Uncle Olethros showed me the way.

Did he?

Orpheus...

I am sorry about Eurydice.

Well, then give her
back to me. Please.

She doesn't belong
to me anymore.

She's in the underworld.

That's where you people
go, to Hades' realm.

Then send me to her.

-Please, just so I can bring her back.
-That isn't going to happen.

Why not?

You don't go to the underworld
without dying first.

Heroes and gods go to the
underworld all the time.

Heracles chained Cerberus.

Heracles was full of shit.

He got dead drunk for a week,

then told everyone he'd been
to the land of the dead.

Uncle Olethros
said you can do it.

He said you can do
anything you want.

Your uncle Olethros has a
big mouth, you know that?

So you can do it, then?

Yeah.

You could go to the underworld.

You could even come back.

But you could never die.

I would have to agree
to never take you.

You would... make me immortal.

It may sound like a gift...

I'd risk anything for her.

Orpheus.

Look me in the eyes.

Is this what you really want?

You got it.

I...

I thank you, Teleute.

Yeah.

I hope it works out for you.

Wait, but don't you know?

I thought you could
foretell the future.

I don't need to know the future.

I am the future.

For everything and everyone.

Except you now.

So that's...

The underworld.

Good luck.

Orpheus!

Son of Oneiros and Calliope...

You are not of the dead.

Do you know the penalty
for trespassing?

No, kind ladies.

Kind ladies?

We are the goddesses
of vengeance.

Of punishment.

Of torment.

-The Dirae.
-The Erinyes.

The Eumenides.

To me, you are the Kindly Ones,

for you serve King Hades
and Queen Persephone...

with whom I seek an audience.

Well, well, well...

Orpheus.

The balladeer.

King Hades.

Queen Persephone.

I greet you.

Have you a song for
us, little mortal man?

A song?

Uh, yes.

Yes, I do.

You are disrupting my realm.

You have made the Furies weep.

They will never
forgive you for that.

Well, then give me my
wife, Your Majesties.

And I will leave this place.

Why would we do
that, son of Oneiros?

Perhaps out of love?

You are young.

And you know nothing about love.

Just give me the chance.

And I will prove to you both

that my love for Eurydice is
stronger than even death itself.

Very well.

Your wife may leave with you.

Thank you, Lord Hades.

There are conditions.

Rules.

There are always rules.

There is a path that
leads to the world above.

Follow that path.

And do not deviate from it.

And Eurydice?

She will follow
you as your shadow.

You may not seek,

nor speak,

nor turn to look
behind you until...

the sun shines upon you both.

Then, and only then,

will she be yours.

Now go, little man.

And do not look back.

Eurydice?

Orpheus.

My love.

No! Eurydice!

No!

No!

No!

Eurydice.

And when I saw the
light ahead of me...

I couldn't help myself.

Your father should have
gone there in your stead.

I've left him.

Mother.

No. This has been
a long time coming.

I thought I could change him.

But...

he cannot change.

I thank you for
your visit, Mother.

Orpheus, I did come to
see you for a reason.

The Sisters of the Frenzy, the
cult of Dionysus, they are coming.

You must leave this place.

I do not fear them.

Well, you must.

They run through forests
and fields at night,

rending the flesh of any
animal or man they come across.

-I've heard the same tales you have.
-These are not mere tales.

But that's why I'm here.
I want them to find me.

I must be with Eurydice.

-Orpheus, please listen to me.
-Teleute will no longer take me.

-We will go back to your father.
-He won't speak to us.

Don't you see? The
Sisters are my only hope.

No. No, no, no. I will
not let you do this.

Then you will only
increase my suffering.

You left Father because
he refused to help me.

And yet now you do the same.

I love you so.

-I love you.
-Goodbye, Mother.

Hello, Orpheus.

I have come here to tell you

that I have visited with
certain priests on this island.

In their dreams.

And they will find you soon.

Care for you.

I will not see you again.

But, Father...

Father?

Did you not say that you
were no longer my son?

Father, please.

Please, help me.

Help me to die.

Please.

The Endless are forbidden
to spill family blood.

You were unwise to seek
favors of my sister.

You have made your choice.

Just as your life is your own...

so too is your death.

Farewell, my son.

We shall not meet again.

No. Please. Please kill me.

Kill me.

Father, come back.

Father!

Please kill me!

Please kill me.

Please. Please, kill me.

Father, please!

Kill me!

Father!

What have you done?
What did you say to him?

Surely that is his
affair, not yours.

Do you know why...

...I stopped being
Delight, my brother?

I do.

You see, there are
things not in your book,

and paths outside this garden.

You would do well
to remember that.

Dream.

Are you all right?

Dream.

Your eyes are the same color.

I can do that if I have to.

Shall we go now?

Please, Dream.

I don't know how much
longer I can be like this.

It hurts very muchly.

Well, you needn't
anymore on my account.

What did he tell you?

He told me what I must know if
we are to continue on our way.

I would remind you both...

those that seek Destruction

usually find it.

Farewell, my brother.

Farewell, my brother.

Where are we going now?

To seek an oracle that will
tell us where our brother is

in exchange for a boon.

What sort of a boon?

He will ask me to end his life.

Why? Who is he?

He is my son.

Dream.

Wait.
