I think it is her and she’s got a knife to her back. Hopefully she can blink in morse code.
As for why I think it is really her, I just have this sneaking suspicion that nightmare realm denizens can’t say the word “love” without exploding or something.
I feel that since Alex is practically terrified of the entire realm, and being as their primary objective was to find her parents. He wouldn’t think twice about leaving, now knowing her parents are ‘not’ there.
Actually I suspect Alex will try to live up to his promise, but it will be Nastajia who’ll insist on being stupidly heroic. Once she hears her parents are on Earth that will relieve her fears in one respect – they’re safe – but send those fears over the top in another, namely that the only way Titania and Oberon could be on Earth is if Abaddon has a working Portal, and she and Alex have to find and destroy it immediately.
Alex would be best served if he just picked her up and started flying as fast as he could out of the Nightmare Realm. But I doubt he’s going to do that…
Whew! It felt like I’ve been holding my breath for this moment for more than a month (can you believe it’s been that long since Alex woke up?). It’s great to see she wasn’t kidnapped or hurt!
But I’m with ee on this one (which I feel like I’ve said a lot recently :P). I think that Alex will try to do his part, but Nastajia will put her foot down and try to save the portal. Only I think it will only be partly because her parents are in the waking world. I think it will also be to “give Alex a chance to prove he deserves to be the King.”
Hmm…I don’t think she’s say, “Here my love” if someone had a knife to her back. She’s be all stiff and say something like “I’m here,” or more in keeping with Nastajia: “It’s a trap, Alex! Run!!”
So, I’m betting she’s okay, has stayed hidden and wisely waited for Alex to return.
I received my books the other day, and my grandson loves them. he is 3 1/2.
Thank you for the drawing, the note, and all the work you do on this wonderful adventure.
The next page will probally be: “Nastajia, ur parents r alive and on earth! we can leave now!” Then Nastajia will probs be all emotional and stuff, probs kiss alex or cry?
Ok, this is my final idea: Lord Abaddon might be using Nastajia to lure Alex behind there, u know like by threatening Nastajia’s life if she doesn’t lure Alex? I think thats a pretty good idea!
*gag* Yeah, something’s wrong… I mean, Nastajia is an elven princess warrior, had been left alone in the Nightmare Realm amidst attackers, Alex comes back — and she says “Here, my love.”?? If nothing’s actually wrong, excuse me while I go roll my eyes and gag.
No, I think all is fine. And those two big shadows behind her which strangely remind me of a T-Rex or Velociraptors are probably just …um…her new pets?
Scott, I don’t mean to be picky or critical or anything. I know that a lot of work goes into creating your backgrounds, the scenery, etc for each and every frame that gets published in the comic. It is greatly appreciated. They look fantastic.
But quite often there is more detail in a frame than many of the readers can understand. i.e. the last frame from today’s comic shows some particularly ominous shadows, but we have no idea from where they originate.
So sometimes the backgrounds with some of the unrecognizable features are more distracting to the viewer/reader than beneficial to the picture.
So could we clean them up a little so we can focus more on the story?
It’s gonna be like a puppeteer tentacle alien thing, right?
It’s an anti-cliffhanger! ‘Bout time we got one of those on a Friday…
yeah…i seriously doubt that’s really her…

I’m betting Alex is gonna do something stupid, like do exactly what the elf said not to, anyone else agree?

That shadow behind her doesn’t look nice.
She looks kind of scared
We’re back to Alex and Nastajia.Should he tell her that her parents are now on his world?
I don’t things are as fine as it seems. That is an unhappy look on her face and that shadow looks ominous.

We shall see what we shall see – but Alex is now armed with both knowledge and even more motivation. He may well end up surprising himself – and us.
my thoughts exactly!
I hope it’s the real her. It wouldn’t be like Nastajia to get kidnapped the moment her man left.
The next page will probally be: “Nastajia, ur parents r alive and on earth! we can leave now!” Then Nastajia will probs be all emotional and stuff, probs kiss alex or cry?
BTW i’m in england its actually 11:36, i’m never awake at 5:36!
Ok, this is my final idea: Lord Abaddon might be using Nastajia to lure Alex behind there, u know like by threatening Nastajia’s life if she doesn’t lure Alex? I think thats a pretty good idea!
He woke up leaving her alone in enemy territory, and all she has to say is, ‘I’m here, my love’? I’ve been married too long to buy this.
Something’s wrong, fellow Readers, I’m telling you.
