As they leave, Destiny's book shows a flashback in which Destruction abandoned his realm, as well as a scene showing Dream returning to Earth just prior to his imprisonment Death visiting a young boy in China and a white-robed Dream talking with the Corinthian. Therefore Dream and Delirium visit Destiny, who redirects them anew. Later, Death scolds Dream into accompanying Delirium again. Delirium secludes herself, and Dream converses with the goddess Bast. Realizing that the various deaths are caused by their quest, Dream refuses to continue. After Dream, Delirium, and Matthew leave, Ishtar performs a furious dance, in which she and the club are destroyed. After their driver, Ruby DeLonge, dies in a fire caused by smoking in bed, Dream has his raven Matthew help Delirium drive their car to a strip club, where Dream consults with Ishtar, a former lover of Destruction.
According to her list, they consult people who knew Destruction but each time these people are destroyed (such as a 15,000-year-old lawyer killed by part of a building falling on him), or driven into hiding (such as the Alder Man, who changes himself into a bear and has his shadow assume his appearance). To this end, she first contacts Desire and Despair, each of whom refuses to accompany her on her quest and finally persuades Dream. The story revolves around Delirium's wish to reconcile with her brother Destruction. Their subsequent odyssey through the waking world, and their final confrontation with Destruction-as well as the resolution of Dream's painful relationship with his son, Orpheus-will change the Endless forever.Brief Lives consists of The Sandman issues #41-49.
