He’s not floundering, seems to be in complete control of his swimming, and Abaddon seems to be ignoring him so far. Yay. I beg you, Alex, don’t do anything stupid that’ll get you killed.
How long have you? You’re spotting him a page 😉 But really, so far so good for him, and you can’t tell me that his passing directly into the dreamworld isn’t somehow going to be key in defeating Abaddon. This isn’t a one-brother battle, and it never has been.
I believe it was the name of the immortality plant that just got passed through the portal before Alex pulled her through and then dove in himself. It’s safely on the other side of the now collapsed portal, with her, and Nastajia’s parents.
according to google…
With the benefit of breathing pure oxygen first, the current Guinness World Record for holding your breath underwater is held by Ricardo Bahia of Brazil at a whopping 20 minutes 21 seconds! Most people in good health can hold their breath for approximately two minutes.
So I was right!!! whoo!!!
Well, it depends – it might be 2 minutes, while you just sit underwater. When you swim, using much more oxygen to move your muscles, it is about 30secs. for an avarage healthy human in good condition.
He has had a training, swordfighting, maybe it affected this too? He isn’t an average human anymore, but does swordfighting also mean he can hold breath longer?
He probably has stronger lungs because of a good condition, I give him good odds for surviving a 3 minutes under water, while swimming
It is the plant that Gilgamesh (a.k.a The Dreamer) spent many years looking for. He found it but it was stolen from him by a serpent whilst he was bathing in a pool. He has been looking for it ever since.
Well, there’s doing something stupid, and there’s getting himself killed. He’s really good at the former, but so far an absolute failure at the latter. 🙂
This is true. And there ARE still the Wraiths, who can move between worlds. But I think Oberon and Titania killed off most of Abaddon in the area when they intervened in the attack on Dan and Nicole. It will take a while for Abaddon to be able to go after the S.I.A. effectively.
Excalibur’s scabbard was enchanted to be able to prevent wounds from bleeding. It may also prevent him from running out of oxygen underwater. We’ll see.
It does strike me that since he entered the Dreamworld physically rather than via dreamstate… he is just as vulnerable physically as anyone now. No super strength. No special bonuses. Just him.
Hmmm… he’s kinda like us now. All squishy and breakable.
Well, looks like Alex is officially in Dreamland for good now. Not his dream-self, but for real. I wonder if that was the last he will ever see of Earth? If he ever goes back, it would have to be a choice on his part. Waking up won’t bring him back anymore.
Niviene should tell the king and queen of elves, “Seeing your daughter and Alexander together made me realize how much I envy them! It also reminded me of my own lost love…!”
Since Alex is currently playing the role of Hero, Isuspect he will indeed make it to the surface and be picked up by the flying Dwarven ship. They can then fly to the Nightmare Realm, now mostly depopulated, to pick up Dan and Nastajia and rescue the children. Meanwhile Niviene can update the folks back home, and Dan when he wakes up, so they can make plans to rescue Merlin, hide the plant (or feed it to Merlin), and deal with the invasion that should be emerging in Egypt.
For a moment, let’s imagine everything goes well and he’s reunited with Nastajia. Wonder what her first response would be? A passionate kiss? Or would she also can’t help blurt out “foolish boy!” :3 I’m sure she’ll be grateful eventually, but she also seems like the kind who won’t think jumping through a collapsing portal into the arms of abbadon in the middle of the ocean with real-life body is a particularly good idea…
It’s rather nice that Abaddon seems to have such a one track hivemind. Find the plant, completely ignore the human. They’re almost as bad as Wall-E and Eve. Directive? Plant. Plant. Plant!
I’m willing to accept the stretching of reality to conform to the comic. I would agree that realistically there’s no way he would make it out of that cave without drowning first.
Think of the sheer weight of the water at that depth, let alone the requirement for oxygen heh.
She is aware that Alex is a Hero. He does things like this. And pulls them off. He is the Protector of Dreamland and she not only accepts that, from her comments as she was fighting free from Abaddon as they tried taking her to the Hydra, she stands by him in his actions. So I would imagine a passionate kiss, then telling him not to do something like that again unless he has to, then more passionate kissing.
No, this is the internet rather than real life. She will be seduced by Abaddon, and then Alex will arrive and in shock catch them both. I have the fan-fic to prove it! 😉
Alex will become the Dreamlands King, Dan will be his assistent through dreams. Alex now crossed the borders and can be permanently with his love, he will not go back and loose her again. And Dan may be the rightfull king, Alex will be his air, in Dan’s absence.
“1885… 1885!.. Alex did it, he’s alive! He’s trapped in Dreamland but he’s alive!”
Sorry, couldn’t resist a Back to the Future 3 reference with this page number.
TPK! TPK! TPK!
He’s not floundering, seems to be in complete control of his swimming, and Abaddon seems to be ignoring him so far. Yay. I beg you, Alex, don’t do anything stupid that’ll get you killed.
…How long have you been reading this comic for? Odds are he’ll do something stupid in two pages.
Since 2008, I know he’s a screwup, but a girl can dream.

Can someone please refresh my memory as to what Sibu Issahir Amelu means?

“Safely” Let’s not forget they’ve mentioned having people near merlin and the spys too. You can never be too sure.
Hmmm, I wonder how much air he has left. Average human with strong lungs is about, 2 minutes?

… something ELSE stupid …
‘Cause he just did two pages back.

OMG, you guys are killing me here. I was pounding the table laughing. Made my whole morning! =)

LOL!
With the collapse of the portal,that means the Nightmare beasts can’t get to that plant,then there are those beasts trapped on Earth!!!
I think people are forgetting there is another portal
You do Stupid things for the one you love.
Well, there’s doing something stupid, and there’s getting himself killed. He’s really good at the former, but so far an absolute failure at the latter. 🙂

Woo, THAT must have been a startling sight! A million Abaddon heading straight for him! O_O
It does strike me that since he entered the Dreamworld physically rather than via dreamstate… he is just as vulnerable physically as anyone now. No super strength. No special bonuses. Just him.
Hmmm… he’s kinda like us now. All squishy and breakable.
True, but that apparently opens in Egypt. And the other half of Abaddon’s army is already on its way through that.
Remember that he never prepared for the dive. Been talking and talking until the jump instead. 20 to 40 seconds before out cold I’d say.

first one, then the other.

**collapsing portal. Seems like a lot of creatures might get caught in it…..
Well, according to Google this is a webcomic, therefore Alex can hold his breath however the heck long he wants. 😉
She is aware that Alex is a Hero. He does things like this. And pulls them off. He is the Protector of Dreamland and she not only accepts that, from her comments as she was fighting free from Abaddon as they tried taking her to the Hydra, she stands by him in his actions.

Nah. They’ll just tear down Alex more.
A comic about the magical realm of Dreams. Yeeaah, gonna have to say the limits of reality are gonna get stretched pretty far.
Thank you 🙂
Thank you 🙂
No, this is the internet rather than real life. She will be seduced by Abaddon, and then Alex will arrive and in shock catch them both. I have the fan-fic to prove it! 😉
Then Paddington covers the next page with his bulk, “Nothing to see here, move along,” as Alex and Nastajia get busy.
Wow! The comic is back on! I hadn’t checked in a while… Nice!
And now, I’m all caught up… 🙁
I have to admit, I’m not really surprised by Alex’ actions… I hope it turns out OK, because he’s taking a big risk!
A big risk that could cost Dan the throne…!
Alex will become the Dreamlands King, Dan will be his assistent through dreams. Alex now crossed the borders and can be permanently with his love, he will not go back and loose her again. And Dan may be the rightfull king, Alex will be his air, in Dan’s absence.
