   Summary

   This is the story of how a little girl with no future befriends the embodiment of death and, as an adult, she decides to risk everything to help her friend and free her younger brother. Morpheus, at first, is unmoved and does not trust her motives. Until he gets to know her better and she shows him not all mortals have a hidden agenda. Their legacy is immortalised in a poem. This is the first half of it:

   A Dream was captured
   not once but twice
   The second time found him enraptured
   The first time cased his heart in ice
   Her life she yielded
   The ice did break
   Her heart he shielded
   His own did wake...
