"Why do you hate yourself so much?" she asked him. "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
"I Am Choosing This For All Of You. You Know What Is Going To Happen If The Bloody Serpent Remains Free!"
"Stop this, Lucifer. There is always a different way to deal with these things between us."
"He Needs To Go, Maze! I Am The Only One That Can Bloody Take 'Im Down There! Do Not Get In My Way."
"That's not true, why won't you listen."
"I Have To Do This."
"Ey, no ye don't, ye don't need to play hero again, silly man. Aye have a better idea." The leprechaun joined in the conversation.
"I say we listen to him. Let's see what he has to offer," Dream offered peace.
"Well, Come On, Then, God King. Speak Your Piece. We Have No Time To Lose Here."
"Aye, yer right. Well, see, Devil Man, yer brother 'ere, Dream, aye, he can take 'im down the beaten road, the road with no exit. No shortcuts, jus a straight line down there. And with 'is powers he can shut that door and make the lock disappear, aye."
"Don't Be Mad.... That Could Not Work. The Lock Is On The Inside."
"I can do it, Lucifer." Dream stepped forward.
"This is a really stupid idea, you cannot be entertaining this!" Maze yelled furiously.
"Aye, but ye know what they say, darlin'. Better the devil you know....than the angel you don't."

Dream went along with the plan even to Lucifer's and Maze's disgust. There were votes that were cast but in the end, Dream would do as it was proposed.
He asked Death for help opening the portal, and she assisted him.
From the shadows, Jackie Estacado watched as everything unfolded. He knew better than to step into the whole mess, trying to put in his two cents. He had already watched the nonsense that The Serpent had created. He had already watched his fellow man bent so out of shape that he could no longer see if what stood before him was still an act... or the Truth.
But the dominoes had fallen one last time and this time...this time things would change for the better.
It would all be in an effort to avenge the death of The Other. The only casualty that appeared to not have a way of returning.
So Dream entered the portal, dragging The Serpent by his tail, pulled him in and Death closed the portal. Smoke and mirrors, all you could see that was left.
And through the clouds and hellfire, Dream traveled long and eventually reached The Pit. And in that pit he threw The Serpent, and with one last gesture, he split him in half. The Serpent screeched with blood and sweat and tears dripping on the ground below them.
Dream called his powers unto The Pit and started fading the lock away. The Serpent, lying there hopeless and torn hissed one last time at Dream.
And then there was quiet.
Silence that would murder a God.
That would murder a Monster.
That would always haunt The Pit from that moment on....until everything else faded.
