We all saw how badly Dan choked when he “fought” nightmare realm creatures in the real world not too long ago. Let us also not forget that it took Alex time to learn how to use his powers in Dreamland as an adult because it’s not so simple for adults to fly and stuff. If someone has to fight through hordes of nightmare realm creatures to rescue Nastajia, Alex is a much better choice. Dan can take over as king after Nastajia is safe. Dreamland has waited years for Dan. It can wait a couple more days.

As a side note, this story has been incredibly uplifting so far. Even the darkness we’ve seen wasn’t completely shrouded in evil. They’ve taken turns that defy common conventions to add Drama in favor of amazing turns I would have only been able to hope for in most modern stories.

So, if nothing else, I trust there to be a good ending. I don’t know about you guys but I always got the message of hope from this story. There’s always a way.

My question is, why can’t they rule jointly? There have been royal lines and lands ruled by more then one person. Usually divided, yeah, but these two care about each other. If anything, Alexander has shown exceptional physical skill where Daniel has shown great tactical intelligence. Dream Land might be mostly mental, but Alex fought and beat a, no, THE, dragon. Not alone maybe, but then again nothing saying he has to be.

So, what’s to stop Alex from being Daniels sword, going into Dreamland and carrying out his brother’s plans as he’s done so far? The only downsides I can see in that is Alex would have to learn to wake up and fall asleep for things that need split decisions and that Daniel wouldn’t be able to visit Dreamland, which honestly seems to be what he’s choosing right now.

As a side note, Kings can abdicate the thrown of their own volition to pass to the next person in line. No one can force Daniel into Dreamland.

All of that said, there’s obviously a way to permanently travel between the two at this moment. Maybe a dangerous way, yeah, but all the same a way. If nothing else, why aren’t they trying to get Alex through that way? He obviously doesn’t have much interest in the real world save for his family.

Eh, I don’t worry about Nastajia. She can take care of herself.

Human women tend to have pointier jaws than men; maybe on elves there is a similar variation in ears?

Of course, for that to work, they do need to recover a portal (or create some other magic) so that they can have more than one human adult in Dreamland at a time. Maybe a scepter for the King, while Excalibur would be the King’s Champion’s sword?

Its not so much as the realisation as the point where you have to admit it

because Dan is the older twin and historically, rule goes to the oldest regardless of ability.

There’s no real answer to who would be the best king. They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

But in the immediate, while the war is going on? They need Alex!
