Alexander Screencaps from King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone
Tomorrow
(The Introduction Movie)
These screencaps are from the animated clip introduction from KQ6. When
the clip begins, Alexander is sitting by himself in the throne room in Daventry.
He's brooding in silence. His mother, Queen Valanice, approaches
and asks him what has him so upset? Alexander replies that he can't
stop thinking about the girl he met in the previous game (King's Quest V:
Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder) -- Princess Cassima of the Land of the
Green Isles. He wants to go visit her, but he doesn't know how to get
to her kingdom. A few moments later, the Magic Mirror (hanging on a
wall nearby) sparks to life: and in its glass is an image of Cassima! As
Alexander watches, Cassima sits in the window of a tower and calls out for
him to help her. She is apparently in some kind of trouble. The
Mirror also gives Alexander another clue -- it shows him a star pattern in
the sky. Alexander realizes that by following the stars, he can navigate
his way to the Land of the Green Isles. After telling Valanice goodbye,
Alexander and some of his men load up on a ship and start their journey.
All is well at first. But then, as the islands come into view,
a terrible storm overtakes the ship.
