Long Ago, in the Land of the Green Isles [ Tuesday, 08/16 ].
There was no denial that yesterday had been rather eventful. Apart from being shipwrecked conveniently in the same land they were looking for, Alexander and his company had had quite an adventure in their efforts to bring the prince one step closer to the woman he had spent so much of his time trying to find. There were nefarious plots, tricksy genies, and dangerous minotaurs. Inspired love, quirky characters, and a challenge to the Lord of the Dead.
Quite frankly, Alexander was exhausted. But there was no rest for the good, in this case, because, among all the other things that had gone on yesterday, there has been a proclamation. A proclamation of marriage:
"Citizens rejoice!," it read. "Announcing the royal wedding and coronation of Vizier Abdul Alhazred and Princess Cassima. For reasons of security, the wedding will not be open to the public. Long live the new king and queen of the Land of the Green Isles!"
Luckily, Alexander had also discovered Sing-Sing, Cassima's pet bird, and was able to send a few correspondence to her. Still, some of the responses were not...enthusiastic as he had hoped, but one thing was clear. Abdul Alhazred only intended ill-will for the Land of the Green Isles, and especially for Cassima, and so something must be done. He had collected several things for a spell that would allow him to get inside the castle the back way; the only trouble was going to be convincing everyone else to help provide back up with the only way he saw to get into the castle from the front...
Either way, today was the day. Either they stopped that wedding...or all was lost!
[[ and the adventure continues! Please wait for the slow OCD is up! NFB, of course, and for the others stranded on the Land of the Green Isles ]]
