When the story was finished MacDonald got up and addressed Hodēgós: "Beautiful and touching bedtime story, Hodgy. But how in the god's names is this going to help us any further in our quest, and even more to get out of this place?"
"Can't you see? You don't, do you. Aha...Dodgy smarter than you now...hihihi..."
"When the stepmother witch had destroyed the lands of Pyramus and Thisbe, she went back....she wasn't standing on an island....there is a coast bordering the ocean that destroyed the lands....and that coast is part of our garden here...."
"And what is more, there is a hidden underwater cave somewhere in those black cliffs. And even better, there is a tunnel here leading to that cave....right here underneath the mountains behind us."
"And now follows the icing on the cake....in that tunnel is an underwater boat.....left behind by the creatures who used to raid this garden...it's been a while since they were here.....but they were also looking for your medicine. So if you take that boat....do I have to spell it out...maybe you can find medicine."
When Tornassuk heard the word "boat" he woke up. I'm not going in an underwater boat. Too claustro for me and no way of escape." To which Hodēgós replied: "Then I have got news for you....if you get out of the cave and follow the coast swimming....you will find a way out of here."
"I will not be going with the boat either...I will take you there...but then I'll come back here."
"Seems like I will have to look for a new crew.....time to look up my old shipmates again", MacDonald replied.
And so the fellowship got up for the last part of their journey together.
