Excellent page Scott. I can’t wait to see what Felicity has to say. I wonder if she never got around to actually thanking Nicole for helping save her life earlier, and after seeing Nastajia save Alex’s life, it reminded her.
i wonder if felicity simply wonders why nicole, after having learned that dreamland does exist still hasent come to pay her a visit…. after all theres no spell barring her entry…. 😉
Because she’s an adult now and it’s not simple for adults to visit dreamland =3 I think Felicity would be quite aware of that fact… Alex is just lucky that he had the sword to help him through~ which is sorta necessary unless you only want kids as king XD
Arthur’s amulet MIGHT enable adults to enter Dreamland. He and Merlin were apparently just going for allowing Earth people to see into Dreamland, but there’s no telling what ti’s capacities might be now, with the spell that was empowering it interrupted at a critical time on both sides. And of course, there’s the small question of where it actually is…
Actually, that’s the Bahta Alikchi – the message pouch that can transfer a small slip of parchment with a message (and nothing else) back and forth between Dreamland and Wakeworld (term coined, claiming credit).
Yes, but the Nightmare Realm has been shown to be acting against Dreamland quite openly, so I don’t think the old agreement stands (not to mention that based on what we have seen, they were probably acting against Dreamland from the shadows while it was supposed to be in place).
Funny comments, but you’d think after about the 5-10, that you guys would give the man who just made 1,300 pages of epic storyline awesomeness some slack and give him some time to actually rework some of his artwork. Good grief….
The message must be:
Dear Nicole,
How have you been? How’s school? I’m so glad I never had to deal with that stuff.
Oh, and Alex is really Nicodemus in disguise. Run away!
Love,
Felicity
Nashville had a bad storm, and many of the neighborhoods are without power. More than likely, that’s why there is no comic update today. Fear not, because I am sure Scott will find The Doctor, and using the sonic screwdriver, and the main signal feed from the TARDIS, we’ll get our update as soon as possible!
Thank you all!
Yes. We did have a bit of a storm here. Power was out for about 12 hours and some trees knocked down.
I’m going to have to post the update on Monday. Hope that’s okay.
They said they had the permission of King Nicodemus, who was a usurper under the control of the Nightmare Realm, and who had been actively trying to bend Dreamland to his whims by erasing the history that showed that humans were supposed to be the rulers. That hardly counts as them acting properly towards Dreamland, and actually shows even more that they were acting hostilely against Dreamland.
I’d say it would be more accurate to state that the arrangement was only one adult human at a time could enter Dreamland. Kids are still human, and several of them can show up. 🙂
I agree. I would imagine all agreements, pre and post Nic, are now null and void, and in fact Dreamland and the Nightmare Realm may be on the point of war…
Maybe, maybe not. De jure, such agreements might be void, but de facto, I suspect the rightful rulers will have to go in and enforce their will to get the pirates to quit using the agreement.
For expression, I think one of the best to date is Nicole and Daniel in Page-1297/Panel 3.
There is a distinct feeling of the developing emotional connection between them, a feeling of shared secret.
I think that for that to work at all, the pirates would need a governing body. Last I checked, there wasn’t one in Dreamland. Also, who enforces the permit? Nicodemus. Who just got sunk and crushed in a lake? Nicodemus. All arrangements against humans are now null and void. The Nightmare realm has lost its little puppet. So they either need to find a way to make them selves seem really good to one Alex’s friends, or stop interacting with Dreamland completely. I doubt they will convince Nastajia, or Bognok, or even Felicity, Kiwi, and Paddington. Never mind convincing Alex.
But, Silent Mech, it does give the lawful authorities, who really should act within the law, the right to whale on those who don’t to enforce their will–like taking out the pirates.
Excellent page Scott. I can’t wait to see what Felicity has to say. I wonder if she never got around to actually thanking Nicole for helping save her life earlier, and after seeing Nastajia save Alex’s life, it reminded her.
Priceless. Her face just…. priceless.
Oh, and you forgot the bruises again?
Nicole is Nicodemus.
Or Nicodemus is her father!
Ah damn, Nic missed that.
“Alex I’m your father!”
“Eh…”
“No you idiot, I’m a dragon, I can’t be your father. You humans are so stupid!”
i wonder if felicity simply wonders why nicole, after having learned that dreamland does exist still hasent come to pay her a visit…. after all theres no spell barring her entry…. 😉
Wooooh…plot twist!!!
Because she’s an adult now and it’s not simple for adults to visit dreamland =3 I think Felicity would be quite aware of that fact… Alex is just lucky that he had the sword to help him through~ which is sorta necessary unless you only want kids as king XD
I love the look on Nicole’s face! ;):)
Can one wonder what’s the message Felicity sent to Nicole?
only 99 pages?? You can do it Scott. 😀
Yes, the look on Nicole’s face is awesome, as if she wasn’t expecting any more communication from Felicity.
This chapter has been so much fun – I can’t wait to see what is coming up next! This ought to be a lot of fun with Nicole and Felicity.
And yeah – better put the bruises back on poor Alex….
You know what I believe? I believe that’s totally another our world-dreamland magnet like the sword chain.
Awesomeness!
Arthur’s amulet MIGHT enable adults to enter Dreamland.

I noticed that too.
But isn’t that the very basis of their treaty with the nightmare realm? That only one human can enter Dreamland?
Let’s see, getting exposed to fire, getting thrown off a cliff, getting wet…
Doesn’t seem to me like Alex is a very good mailman
Sorry, I’m sticking to “real world” (term in public domain)
I hope she borrowed it from Orion and didn’t swipe it.
Oh PLEASE give me a hint of what it is tomorrow!
Not to mention the reason Nicodemus got upset enough to usurp Arthur’s rule!
Bruise Off; apply directly to the bruises!
oh, I thought of something better to say.
in the last page, daniel said, “Those bruises on your face say otherwise, Alex.”
“Oh really? Then I guess I’d better take these off.”
It would seem Alex has developed the magical healing ability known as “artist forgetfulness”…
Ack. Okay. I’ll add the bruises. Sorry.
SOOOO much going on. SOOOOO much.
Yes, but the Nightmare Realm has been shown to be acting against Dreamland quite openly, so I don’t think the old agreement stands (not to mention that based on what we have seen, they were probably acting against Dreamland from the shadows while it was supposed to be in place).

*after about the first 5-10,
Nicole’s eyes O_O haha 🙂
The message must be:
Dear Nicole,
How have you been? How’s school? I’m so glad I never had to deal with that stuff.

Thank you, and have a pleasant day!
Yep, we have been having some interesting weather here in Music City!
Hope you came through it OK Scott!
If these comments had a “like” button, Arvamas would be seriously getting a ton of likes just via the Doctor Who reference. 😉
Thank you all!

I’m going to have to post the update on Monday. Hope that’s okay.
Well, that just makes it a Friday cliffhanger.
Tradition, right?
I’m pretty sure it was mentioned at some point that those pirates we saw had a permit or something to do their plundering
Like the storm …right?
Ah, so that’s what the favor was…
Fair enough …
😉
They said they had the permission of King Nicodemus, who was a usurper under the control of the Nightmare Realm, and who had been actively trying to bend Dreamland to his whims by erasing the history that showed that humans were supposed to be the rulers.

Ahh, but he still delivers through all of those hazards…still a mailman good enough for the US Postal Service! 😛
LOL!
Yes.
I agree. I would imagine all agreements, pre and post Nic, are now null and void, and in fact Dreamland and the Nightmare Realm may be on the point of war…
No problem, sir. Take care of yourself and yours first; the comic can wait.
You. Are. Brilliant! 😀
Pfoooohh ..Am I happy that our powerlines run sub-terranian… We had a bit of a storm too. Spared me some cutting of branches 😆
Hope Your home and garden “weathered” the storm well.
Maybe, maybe not. De jure, such agreements might be void, but de facto, I suspect the rightful rulers will have to go in and enforce their will to get the pirates to quit using the agreement.
Nicoledemus?

Which doctor?

*squint* Just a reminder… have the bruises been fixed on this page yet? 🙂
No, but it’s been a busy year.
Or two.
