He held his wand in the air and did the only sensible thing that would help Anna and the others succeed.
"LUMOS!"
A bright light shone from the tip of his raised wand. And he was now a sitting target.
Whoa...halt production. Anna jerked back on her broom and came to a screeching halt, only vaguely aware that she was inches away from the big guy. Someone must have thrown the darkness powder, as Anna was no longer aware of whether she was jerking the keys away or snatching at nothing but thin air. For a moment, she thought about turning around and dashing away, but what if she ran into someone...a grindylow or another merperson, perhaps?
Gulp.
Maybe if she just reached forward and grasped, she'd luck out and snatch that key. Anna balled up and her fist, and...
SMACK....
Just as her fist made contact with something, a small light shone from someone's wand. After blinking quite a few times, Anna realized that...
oh, no... She'd just successfully punched Aornos in the nose. She froze and simply stared at the creature for a moment, realizing that now would be a nice time to try for that key. She reached forward, grasped ahold of the key, and jerked up. Erm...oh my. She had it. She had the key! With a newfound sense of pride, she smirked at Aornos, then turned to dash away.
