Please reinstall the game if you wish to see the cartoon. Despite his family's concern, Alexander remains tormented by thoughts of Cassima.... Hours pass.... Long ago, in the castle of a kingdom called Daventry.... VAL "Alexander! Here you are! You're still not thinking about Cassima, are you?" ALEX "Hmmm? I suppose I am." VAL "Son, it's been MONTHS. You've GOT to pull yourself together. After all, you only met her that once...." ALEX "I know." VAL "Have you discovered anything about the Land of the Green Isles?" ALEX "No! No one's even heard of it! It's like she's just vanished!" VAL "I wish I could help. Please try to think about something else, dear." ALEX "I'll try, Mother." CAS "Alexander.... I feel so alone. I don't know what to do.... Alexander, I wish you were here...." ALEX "Cassima! Wait!" ALEX "MOTHER! MOTHER, COME QUICK!" VAL "Alexander, what on earth? You're white as a ghost!" ALEX "Mother, I saw Cassima! She was in the mirror!" VAL "In the mirror? The magic mirror?" ALEX "Yes! And it showed me how to find her!" VAL "How?" ALEX "The stars! I saw the stars outside her window! I can navigate by the stars!" VAL "Oh, Alexander.... If you really go...." ALEX "It will be alright, Mother. I promise." Three long months Prince Alexander sailed the known seas...and beyond. ALEX "Land ho! LAND HO! LAND HO!" As the ship nears the shore, day turns to night and the sea turns violent.... Long ago, in the castle of a kingdom called Daventry.... A young prince sits alone in the throne room, head in hands, lost in melancholy. His mother, Queen Valanice, enters, and hastens to his side. VAL "Alexander! Here you are! You're still not thinking about Cassima, are you?" ALEX "Hmmm? I suppose I am." VAL "Son, it's been MONTHS. You've GOT to pull yourself together. After all, you only met her that once...." ALEX "I know." VAL "Have you discovered anything about the Land of the Green Isles?" ALEX "No! No one's even heard of it! It's like she's just vanished!" VAL "I wish I could help. Please try to think about something else, dear." ALEX "I'll try, Mother." With a feeling of helplessness, the Queen turns and leaves her son to his thoughts. Suddenly, the magic mirror on the wall flashes to life.... The prince leaps to his feet and runs to place his hand against the shimmering glass. Beneath his fingers, the mirror dissolves into a scene of a beautiful girl in a tower's window, looking out on a starry night sky. It is Cassima! CAS "Alexander.... I feel so alone. I don't know what to do.... Alexander, I wish you were here...." The picture fades to glass, the princess to the prince's own reflection. ALEX "Cassima! Wait!" But the image is gone! Prince Alexander turns towards the throne room doors. ALEX "MOTHER! MOTHER, COME QUICK!" Queen Valanice rushes in, her face full of concern. VAL "Alexander, what on earth? You're white as a ghost!" ALEX "Mother, I saw Cassima! She was in the mirror!" VAL "In the mirror? The magic mirror?" ALEX "Yes! And it showed me how to find her!" VAL "How?" ALEX "The stars! I saw the stars outside her window! I can navigate by the stars!" VAL "Oh, Alexander.... If you really go...." ALEX "It will be alright, Mother. I promise." And so, the prince leaves his homeland, bound for a land he knows only by the stars. Three long months Prince Alexander sails the known seas...and beyond. Until finally, on a day like every other day at sea, as the young prince searches through his spyglass. He sights land! ALEX "Land ho! LAND HO! LAND HO!" Eagerly, the ship bounds towards the distant shore. Day turns to night and the ship nears the shore. As the sky blackens, so too, does the sea. The ship is tossed amidst monstrous currents and whirlpools, as though the land itself were shoving the vessel away. The battle is courageous, but the ship, and the prince, are drawn down and down.... Down into the sea.... Trite Alexander is already carrying that. Alexander looks in the mirror and sees... ...a handsome, somewhat lonely young man. Alexander opens the bargain book and reads a paragraph at random. ALEX Two dulcimas raised to the degree of 40 halfdulcimas, divided into equal parts by the third of a cackle of grouse geese, put over the result of ten finemackels (albeit small finemackels), stretched over the total of.... Phew! What an incredibly boring book! No wonder the book shop owner wanted to get rid of it so badly. Alexander opens the rare book and looks inside. The book contains riddles and has a page missing. Alexander glances at a few of the conundrums, but finds himself more curious about the one that is missing. What was the riddle, he wonders. More importantly, what was the answer? Alexander opens the spell book. The brick is already heavy enough to carry around without playing with it! The paintbrush would not leave a lasting impression on Alexander. Alexander has no need to wear the serving clothes here. Alexander doesn't want to dirty his hands by playing with that coal. Alexander grasps the coin of Daventry firmly and thinks of home. The coins from the dead man's eyes give Alexander an uneasy feeling. Alexander may indeed be heartbroken over Cassima, but he's hardly ready to use the dagger on himself! Alexander decides to swallow the potion in the bottle labeled 'drink me' to see what happens. Suddenly, his vision fades to black.... His lungs become too heavy to breathe.... His heartbeat slows.... Then beats no more! Suddenly, his heart takes a lurch, then beats strong.... His chest heaves like that of a newborn.... His vision clears, and Alexander feels fine! ALEX "Phew! For a minute there I thought.... What if someone ELSE had seen me and thought.... Zounds!" Alexander already has a pretty good idea what that potion does, and he doesn't want to waste the rest of it. Alexander is 'tickled' enough just to be out on his own on this adventure! Phew! That flower stinks! Alexander plays a lovely little tune on the flute. Alexander is more comfortable carrying the gauntlet than wearing it. Alexander can see his hand through the ghostly ticket. As Alexander contemplates the strand of Beauty's hair, he finds himself hoping that she is happy with her prince. Alexander looks with longing at the strand of long black hair. Could it be Cassima's? The transparent hanky may be fine for a ghost, but Alexander feels a little nervous about using it himself. Alexander feels his pockets carefully to make sure he hasn't lost anything. Alexander can't use the hole-in-the-wall on himself, but, if he could, he would see thoughts of Cassima. Alexander decides to open the empty ink bottle. ALEX "<Urg!> It's stuck...it's...." ALEX "Whoa!" ALEX "Why, the ink bottle isn't empty at all...it's full of INVISIBLE ink!" ALEX "Not very strong, but not bad!" Alexander doesn't want to waste his invisible ink! A thing like that might come in handy! Alexander rubs the lamp, but nothing happens. The genie must not be home right now. Alexander rubs the lamp, but nothing happens. Alexander unfolds the letter. It is addressed to Alhazred from the Wizard Shadrack and reads: "Greetings to a brother of the Black Cloak. I was sorry to hear of great Mordack's death, though he was a bit of a ninny at chess." "It seems the plans for that little kingdom of yours are coming along.
