I will restore your school and your possessions. I will heal all injuries within my power, though that unfortunately does not include any caused by my brother's trident. His magic is stubborn."

Yeah, YOU heard her, Aornos. Take your little army of merpeople and get the heck out of here!
The Princess was going to restore the school AND their possessions? All right! Reese was going to get her guitar back! She was starting to worry about that, seeing as she has had that guitar since she was 11 and she loved it so much. She could just hug the Princess right now, but decided against it. Merpeople don't like hugs, do they?

Reese turned to Torin, who looked really
really sad at the moment. He was starting to care about this girl, wasn't he? Strange how one minute he wanted to trade her in for the Princess and the next he cares about her. And people say she's hormonal. Pssh. "It's okay, Torin. I'm sure she'll be okay," she said.

Reese waved goodbye to the Princess as she swam off. Then, she noticed the water was starting to drain out. They did it! They saved Hogwarts!
