I think I’ve been absolutely wrong in just about every prediction I’ve been making for the past couple weeks. I’m going to go back through the archives and brush up on my Dreamland history again.
Looks like what Nicodemus did is indeed for real!
Poor Alex,Nastajia is lost to him! How will the King and Queen react to the so-called death of their daughter?
I’m sure they’ll be concerned, but considering the vindictive and untrustworthy source of that information (Nic) and the nature and abilities of their daughter, I doubt they’ll believe it to be true without more proof.
Nicodemus has unwittingly done something good here. Because this opens the opportunity for both brothers to work together in Dreamland. Alex can still get to dreamland through the portal in Egypt whilst Daniel can now get to Dreamland in his sleep and will have the Sword of Kings in his possession.
Nah. If someone I didn’t have too much respect for (which she doesn’t for Alex) suddenly started making a big racket right when I was falling asleep, I’d be pissed. She looks pissed, like “what now?” That’s all.
Just suppose the Nightmare wraiths built a portal not too far from Alex and plan to use it to invade the waking world and Dreamland at the same time?!?!
I think one of the things that everyone is missing is just HOW is Daniel going to react when he encounters Nicodemus? After everything that Alex has told him, along with helping plan and strategize the battle against the dragon……he is NOT going to trust him as far as he could throw him (outside of Dreamland!)
Furthermore, Dan knows he isn’t ready to handle a bunch of nightmares, having never been to Dreamland before…….nor a dragon……even if he is the ‘rightful’ king. And I somehow doubt he’s had much time to practice with Excalibur…..so his swordplay is even a problem.
And what’s more, HE KNOWS ALL OF THIS. He’s not about to dive into dreamland if he’s going to wake up in Nightmare, facing a dragon he doesn’t trust that wants to coerce him into a big fight……
I think I might be able to put this theory to bed. *chuckles at the pun* See, if Nicole is Nicodemus there’s no way she could be awake in the real world and present in Dreamland at the same time. Nicole was awake shortly before Alex awoke and was just starting to get back to sleep when he woke up screaming. Even if Dreamland time and time in our world don’t correspond precisely, which we know they don’t, it’s very unlikely that she could have just been in Dreamland talking to Alex in dragon form just now. Also, I’d have to do some checking back but weren’t Nicole and Nicodemus in the same place at the same time the last time Nicole saw Felicity as a kid?
I thought I remembered Nicole being on hand back when Nicodemus captured Felicity. Turns out I was right. Here’s the page where Nic first shows up in Nicole’s dream:
The important thing is that if the Elven royalty could come to this world, it means Alex could use the portal to return to Dreamland, or even the other way around, bringing Nastaja here!
My only rebuttal there is that Dan would counter our esteemed dragon-butt by assuring Staj that this was not done by choice but rather forced upon both he AND Alex. Plus, she knows Nicodemus well enough and she knows Alex well enough that she wouldn’t believe him. Turn that frowny emoticon into a happy one, friend. 🙂
This is a really great twist. Can’t wait to see what happens now. Dan in Dreamland will be huge fun – the difference in approach will be extraordinary, I’m sure.
Also interesting to see just how Alex will find his way back to Nastajia – IF he can…
I didn’t see this one coming at all, and the stakes could not be higher. Love it!
Nice to know he can still wake up.
he gunna survive the shock. ^^
… :O

Can’t wait to see what happens though.
BTW, the link to the Russian translation of Dreamland only shows an empty sample page? Is there an actual translation or not?
Well, if that didn’t wake up their Majesties I’ll be surprised. Nobody’s going to be sleeping now.
This cliffhanger is going to bother me until Monday now
Looks like what Nicodemus did is indeed for real!
Poor Alex,Nastajia is lost to him! How will the King and Queen react to the so-called death of their daughter?
His reaction is so perfect! Poor Alex. So glad there’s a portal and that another way to Dreamland may be possible.
I’m sure they’ll be concerned, but considering the vindictive and untrustworthy source of that information (Nic) and the nature and abilities of their daughter, I doubt they’ll believe it to be true without more proof.
Oh, you did not just wake Nicole up.
I don’t know, I just don’t like the look on Nicole’s face. Somehow it looks a bit… evil.
@Naraldur – I agree. She almost looks maybe… possessed.
I agree she looks really really mad
I read it more as “what the heck is going on, oh, this cannot be good…” But maybe a little bit of evil. I mean she was all relaxed and sleepy.
Nicodemus has unwittingly done something good here. Because this opens the opportunity for both brothers to work together in Dreamland. Alex can still get to dreamland through the portal in Egypt whilst Daniel can now get to Dreamland in his sleep and will have the Sword of Kings in his possession.
Oh yes, things are about to get interesting.
KLN B)
HAR!! She does look annoyed.
I sure hope we haven’t lost Poydras in all this. I really liked her comments.
Agreed. If she was half asleep, I’d expect her to look a lot more like “Huh? What’s going on??”
Duh. Nicole, Nicol, Nico, Nicodemus. He’s been there in disguise all along.
Nah. If someone I didn’t have too much respect for (which she doesn’t for Alex) suddenly started making a big racket right when I was falling asleep, I’d be pissed. She looks pissed, like “what now?” That’s all.
*Evil chuckle*
Always something isn’t it.
At least yesterday wasn’t Friday. In my opinion at least, that would have been a worse cliffhanger.
Dan’s face in the last panel…
Just suppose the Nightmare wraiths built a portal not too far from Alex and plan to use it to invade the waking world and Dreamland at the same time?!?!
Just a theory…!
Rahhhhhhhhh! Well, now what?
Scott, you totally suck. 😉

Whatever happened to Alex’s chin? o_O

I might be wrong about this but didn’t they mention that the portal was located in France?

Just like I said previously, Nicodemus would deem the true king as a coward!
The important thing is that if the Elven royalty could come to this world, it means Alex could use the portal to return to Dreamland, or even the other way around, bringing Nastaja here!
What if Nic tells Nastajia that Alex has abandoned her. That’s what I’m afraid of. And when she sees Daniel there…. 🙁
Poor Alex, he seems so lost in panel 3.
My only rebuttal there is that Dan would counter our esteemed dragon-butt by assuring Staj that this was not done by choice but rather forced upon both he AND Alex. Plus, she knows Nicodemus well enough and she knows Alex well enough that she wouldn’t believe him. Turn that frowny emoticon into a happy one, friend. 🙂

I didn’t see this one coming at all, and the stakes could not be higher. Love it!
I was thinking the same thing…
If that where the case, Nastajia would unleash her fury by firing multiple energy arrows at Nic!
I will, she is a smart gal. 🙂
Quick! Call the travel office! WE’RE GOING TO EGYPT!
