All men dream, but not equally. Anduin felt that the statement held no truer then when he entered the surreal plane of unconscious fantasy to plot and scheme as he did while awake.
The dreamscape took the form of Apokolips, his form briefly bathed in the light of erupting fire pits, the heat of which was completely lost on him considering that it was merely a dream, rather than the actual thing.
He sported the same attire he happened to be wearing in the real world; a long, oddly sleeved shirt, hooded robe and scarf woven from the colors of a midnight sky, crafted to emulate the robes of fell-star acolytes; and a helmet designed with similar colors (with a bit of silver), masking his identity and voice behind a passive persona of cold dispassion.
Every step further fashioned the dreamscape into a more realistic depiction of the location it represented, for a moment anyway. Before he knew it, the sky had turned a bright and the sun shone warmly upon the sorcerer. Soon, he was sauntering through the busied streets of Asgard's glimmering city of gold, then into a humid, lush jungle setting. He distractedly swatted a fly into the wooden door of a distinguished, umber cottage. He opened it with a lazy flick of his wrists, entering into Apokolips once again.
All the while, completely ignoring the environmental shifts (he was all too used to it), he rummaged over many things, conflicted with what his next move would be now that Apokolips had been destroyed, and now that Maya had completely submitted to the power inside of her. It's just as I told her, always a pawn to someone or something, he almost chuckled, sitting down in a comfy office chair that had appeared out of nowhere.
Twirling around in it, little did he know that he would soon encounter a stranger, and not one that was a fanciful construct of his own dreams.
