Dead Raven (illustrated by Max Rugers)

After the death of her kittens, the storyteller cat felt betrayed by her humans and that she was subordinate to her humans.

She prayed to the darkness and to the king of cats and she dreamed.

She journeyed into The Dreaming and encountered a Dead Raven who asked her why she came to the Heart Of The Dreaming. She explained that she came for justice, revelation and wisdom.

The Raven explained that she would not find justice or wisdom in dreams, but she might find revelation, but it would take a strong heart to find it. He told her to go to the mountain. In the mountain lived the Cat of Dreams.

The Dead Raven appears in Sandman # 18, on page 10 and 11.
