We finally beat al-Hazred at his own game and marry Cassima, but this ending is bittersweet and isn't exactly the best one.
All maps by Dan_.
Shamir will shoot down the guard dogs, starting with Captain Saladin. Go through the door where al-Hazred escaped through, and go up the stairs. It won't take you too long to catch up. al-Hazred will sic Shamir on you.
If you look at Cassima with the eye icon, you'll find out this tower is where the real Cassima had been held all along.
To deal with Shamir, use the Peppermint leaf on him. He'll fall for it immediately and consume it, becoming drunk on peppermint and unintentionally killing him. al-Hazred will draw his sword. Take the sword mounted on the wall behind Alexander with the hand icon. You'll find out the sword is indeed a ceremonial sword and weighs a ton. Your mouse pointer will become a sword icon. Click on al-Hazred. Alexander will walk up to him, and the fight will begin.
Alexander will soon grow tired due to the weight of the sword. If you didn't give Cassima the dagger, you'll die here...but if you did, Cassima will save you by jamming the dagger into al-Hazred's shoulder. When you see the mouse cursor again, click on al-Hazred to knock him out.
Alexander and Cassima finally reunite and kiss after Alexander pops the big question. The guards show up in the middle of this, and Cassima orders that al-Hazred be locked up in the dungeon as he tries to come to.
A week later, Alexander and Cassima wed. There isn't much of an audience save for Jollo (who gives Cassima away in King Calaphim's memory, as a friend), the two guard dogs, and Captain Saladin (who performs the wedding ceremony). Alexander knows he will miss his family and Daventry, and wishes he could ask for his father's advice. There is also the ferry that needs to be repaired, and it will take time and great diplomacy to stop the fighting between the islands. But it shall be done, as Cassima and Alexander accept becoming the new King and Queen of the Green Isles.
Oh, come on. There were very few guests and the ending was bittersweet. Next time, we're heading towards the better ending.
