Confused and
disappointed by this news, Alexander leaves the castle, but just cannot
shake off the feeling that something is wrong. He goes to the nearby town
where he meets a couple of more friendly characters. He learns that the
ferry used to travel between the different islands of the land is broken,
but obtains a magic map that enables him to go to the other islands. On
every island he meets trouble, as the vizier's genie has prepared traps
for him. But he manages to get away from the dangers and gets acquaintedd
with the rulers of each island. It turns out that every island has lost
its most valuable treasure, and they each blame one of the other islands.
Alexander understands that Cassima has become a prisoner of the vizier
and starts to plan a way of stopping their marriage. He befriends the vizier's
clown, Jollo, and he promises to help Alexander. He then fakes his
own death and with the help of a magical spell he manages to travel to
the Land of the Dead, where he meets the ghosts of Cassima's parents, King
Caliphim and Queen Allaria. They were murdered in their sleep
by the evil vizier. Alexander wins a challenge against Death himself, and
Cassima's parents are returned to life. Then he sneaks into the castle
where he finds out that the vizier is a member of something called the
Black
Cloak Society and was a friend of Mordack. He also finds the treasures
of all the other islands and understands that it was the vizier who stole
them in a plot to make sure he would have complete control them as their
new ruler. Alexander then manages to stop the wedding of the vizier and
the princess, where it turns out that the princess at the wedding is fake
and is really Alhazred's genie. The vizier tries to escape, but Alexander
runs after him and defeats him in a swordfight. A couple of weeks later,
Alexander and Cassima are wed and her parents decide to leave the throne,
making Alexander the new king of the Land of the Green Isles.
