No, he did not kiss da girl, so if the portal works both ways he will be very deep underwater in a cave full of enemies who can breath underwater. If the portal is indeed one way then he just got wet and is still at the pond. It remains to be seen whether the portal remains open, so that the Nightmare creature can also emerge from the pond, or if it is going to go unstable and explode, killing the creatures and tossing Alex back up onto the shore of the pond.
The sheath will keep him alive… also the unstable portal might go boom, or send him to another place. Plus, we have some people coming his way, hunting down the beasts. Remember?
No, but as his brother said, in the dream he can do whatever he believe he can do. It’s really only they who live in Dreamland that really need to be kissed.
Hm. Wet curls dont go floof. Wet curls are plastered to head and shoulders. But then, i reckon, some portals have hair driers included, so dont mind my trolling. 😉 at last that insufferable cur shows some kind of back bone.
For those who mention he should be able to just believe in his ability to breath and be fine because that’s how dreamland works for us….
He’s NOT there in a dream state. He’s now there physically, not just mentally. I fear that Earth dwellers’ abilities to do as they desire greatly hinges on them only being there mentally.
Since his actual physical body will now be over there (if his plan worked) he will be a plain old human, with no special powers. Surrounded by very angry monsters and a ton of water.
I dunno how well that plan to cross over to the dreamworld will go – likely NOT.
But considering abaddon’s horde intent, he just saved Niviene. If Nastajias parents can drag her away from the imploding portal fast enough that is 🙂
How long can a mermaid survive on land? Well, I guess they can get her into a bathtub or pool or something 😉
So he jumped in AND pulled Niviene out. Didn’t anticipate he’d do both. I’m impressed he had the strength for the latter, especially one handed, but he’s young and full of adrenaline. In hindsight this move is intelligent (sort of) in that it gets her away from Abaddon and gets him into Dreamland. We’ll see if he starts drowning now, or can move underwater without the Mermaid’s Kiss.
He flicked her right into Titania and Oberon’s arms, I notice. Good for him. Good for her!
I know everybody’s worried about Alex right now, but the only thing I’m thinking of is Daniel having to explain this later.
‘Hey uh, mom, y’know how I’ve had to ask for the King and Queen of Elves to sleep on the couch? Well now I have to ask for a magical mermaid sorceress to live in our tub for a few days kthnx’
Alex to the rescue… Hopefully, it’d be pretty terrible if it all ended here.
Though, I’m worried her reaction is also because he’s no longer be a dreamer
by going through with his actual body rather than only his mind…
He might not even have his powers, though Excalibur would help.
looking closely, there was no spray of water when Niviene was quickly pulled up and out, but a big splash when Alex dived in. Looking more like it is a one-way portal. But we will see tomorrow which way it goes.
I suppose the argument (before the next page was posted showing that it is in fact a 2 way portal…kind of…not intended to be) was that she wasn’t fully through the portal before (some part of her always remained in Dreamland), so she could go in reverse without it being a problem.
And so the Mermaid is closer to her love, an old wizard.
And the boy is closer to his love, a young elf.
And everybody is shocked.
Except me…and most of the readers.
You go boy…show those nightmare beasts what the past and maybe future king of Dreamland can do with Excalibur in his hands.
Alex, didn’t we already establish it’s a one-way portal? If you’re floundering in real world water tomorrow night, I’m going to smack you, hard.
Did he… “kiss da girl” (The Little Mermaid reference), so he can breathe underwater? Hmm…
No, he did not kiss da girl, so if the portal works both ways he will be very deep underwater in a cave full of enemies who can breath underwater. If the portal is indeed one way then he just got wet and is still at the pond.

Well now. That just blew things wide open.
{gets packet of popcorn}
Nice. AT LAST Alex stands up for himself. No matter how it goes, this earned him some respect from me.
No, but as his brother said, in the dream he can do whatever he believe he can do. It’s really only they who live in Dreamland that really need to be kissed.
Hm. Wet curls dont go floof. Wet curls are plastered to head and shoulders. But then, i reckon, some portals have hair driers included, so dont mind my trolling. 😉 at last that insufferable cur shows some kind of back bone.
And I have caught up again. I didn’t enjoy the stressful bits, but I love it.
Here’s the thing though. He’s not in a dreaming state this way. He will be there physically, not just mentally. That’s what has me worried.
Man… who did NOT see that coming?! XD
For those who mention he should be able to just believe in his ability to breath and be fine because that’s how dreamland works for us….

I,somehow,knew that Alex would do something like that! But what if his plan backfires and is deposited back on Earth???
Oh, that boy. Well, let’s see a show of hands then. Who called it? One, two, five, ten…yup, looks like the ayes have it. 🙂
Titania has seen that coming, too. Look at her face: “meh, so predictable…”

Alex, you forgot something…kinda important…
i wonder if kissing Abaddon would have the same affect XP
Noooooooooooo!
they ARE still at the lake. when the portal closes they can just dump her in.
Exactly. The Seropholians are there physically and they are not all powerful omniDans
Hope Nivienne has some way of growing legs. And Alex has some way of breathing underwater.
ok, the problem here is that he is AWAKE on the other side. Do ANY of his powers still apply, such as the ability to fly and so forth?
So he jumped in AND pulled Niviene out. Didn’t anticipate he’d do both. I’m impressed he had the strength for the latter, especially one handed, but he’s young and full of adrenaline.

*cough* called it *cough*
😉
now let the kicking of butt and chewing of bubblegum commence!
uh oh, he’s all out of bubblegum 😉
Ah, but these aren’t just any old wet curls. They’re magical mermaid curls! ;D
That is Alex’ greatest power: failure to think ahead. That allows him to accomplish just about anything because he doesn’t know he can’t do it.
Oh my god, he’s so stupid.
If there still is a lake once the portal implodes. Who knows, maybe all that remains is a muddy hole in the ground ? 😉
This is sorta random, but where does she get material for her clothing? What’s her clothing made out of? Seaweed?
Okay – I have to point out – the Portal CANNOT be purely one way.
If it was, when she reached her hand out, she wouldn’t be able to pull it back.
Logic FTW! 🙂
I am soo happy from comics

all I can say is that Alex boy is SRONG. That is one big mermaid he’s pulled up out of the water. A feat for sure, sword & scabbard or no.
and Park rangers wonder the the heck happened to the pond during the night. someone’s gonna be in a lotta trouble. 🙂
Alex to the rescue… Hopefully, it’d be pretty terrible if it all ended here.

Koolaid Man jumps out from the bushes, “Oh yeah!”

Clearly Abaddon is not quite as upset, since they have one less “O”…
That’s a really good point! I hadn’t thought of it that way.
What Kata said. Magical mermaid curls go poofy floof. ;P
I suppose the argument (before the next page was posted showing that it is in fact a 2 way portal…kind of…not intended to be) was that she wasn’t fully through the portal before (some part of her always remained in Dreamland), so she could go in reverse without it being a problem.
lol nice eye, didn’t even notice that.
Oooh! Exchanging places! Conserving both sides of the equation! I doubt he thought of it that way but that probably helped.
The energy cost for the transfer would be doubled rather than cancelled though.
The elven elders, meanwhile, are well-practiced in nonchalance.
