Could be worse; I’ve already been back to school all week! (College classes; different schedule and all that … )

Anyway, I hope you’re enjoying your vacation, and I hope you get time to join us here periodically during your busy school schedule (but not till your homework is done, of course!)

In the first panel it kinda looks like Nic’s tail protrudes into the stone work or that he is appearing from the entrance that isn’t there and is still clipped by the illusion. Am I just seeing things?

The scene has briefly left Alex behind before. Sometimes it is the best way to make sure the story provides enough information to the readers.
When the King of the Mer-people talked to Nastajia alone.

It’s a bracelet or a wrist ornament of some kind, actually. Your point remains intriguing regardless of what the object is Succession is always a tricky thing, especially in a world where we know so little about how THEIR particular rulers are chosen. How did succession occur prior to Arthur? How did Arthur claim the throne of Dreamland, and from whom? Those are questions that – while not critical to the Dreamland Chronicles as they currently stand – would be very interesting to have answers to.

I think a rather large part of it is how much Scott respects our input and opinions… perhaps to a fault sometimes, as I think he’s had a tendency to beat himself up a little too much striving for perfection. Major props to Scott for being an excellent storyteller who has sparked my imagination in many ways… thanks!

What I find odd is that up to this point in the story everything has been from Alexander’s point of view there has been no real like outside story things. I think I may be wrong on that.

There is a back staircase that he has used before, which is good because the front has been resealed behind the cliff. http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com/the-dreamland-chronicles/chapter-01/page-39/

However, it doesn’t seem like he just came down it to end up where he is. Maybe he has been there a little bit already and we see him in the middle of pacing around the tomb while searching. His tail looks a little buried in the statue in the first panel so maybe he has some stone walking magic too, for all those cramped room he can’t turn around in.

I think that when Alex claimed the sword, Arthur stopped being king. Succession was successfully passed to Alex. Now Arthur drifts in Limbo. Even if he somehow returned to Dreamland, it would be as a former regent.

At this point, Dan can’t get to Dreamland because he’s an adult. Unless he gets the amulet that is presumably in Arthur’s hand in Limbo, of course.

As I have the power of foresight, here comes tomorrows dialogue:

Nic: “Arthur! … Arthur!”
Arthur: ” -sigh- yes, Nicodemus, what do you want?”
Nic: ” Arthur? Is it really you?”
Arthur: “Of course not, you silly. You watched me get ambushed 500 years ago!”
Nic: “But all I wanted, was….”
Arthur: “Yehyehyeh, whatever. Now speak up!”
Nic: “Gee Arthur, I have a small dental problem and since I’m running out of friends these days, I was kinda hoping you met a dentist in that limbo world of yours.”
Arhur: ” Oh please Nic, I’m merely your guilty conscience who’s talking. You really want this embarring faceplant to work, don’t you?”
