Part 2/10:
The plot begins with Morpheus pursuing a rogue nightmare known as the Corinthian, who has escaped the Dreaming Realm and is wreaking havoc among humans. Amid this chaos, a group led by Lord Magus, a magician in 1916 England, accidentally traps Morpheus during an attempt to summon the angel of death. They seize his powers by confiscating his tools: a pouch of sand, his helm, and a ruby, leaving Morpheus powerless and immured.
