With the key right back around Arethusa's neck, it was apparently time to head back to the shore and rush back towards the castle. Anna smiled at Arethusa, happy to hear that she was doing just fine and was once again the heir to the merpeople. "Professor Bunbury is flying juyst above the lake, and there are other professors near Aornos in the headmaster's office," she explained.

At this point, she wasn't exactly sure where all the professors were, but she did remember seeing quite a bit of them back at the gargoyle's entrance and in the headmaster's office. Arethusa was urging them to hurry, though, so she must intend for them to get back to the castle as quickly as possible. "We can take you to Aornos, Arethusa. There are others with him," she said.

Anna turned and started to swim back towards the shore, calling out to Myrtle as she did so. "Thank you, Miss Myrtle. We'd never have been able to do this without you!" she said. 'Twas true...had Myrtle not appeared from that cauldron and given them directions on how to get to the cave, they'd have likely gotten lost a long time ago.
