Lucky for the traveling trio, they were able to find a portal gate that allowed them to return to Kinshearth swiftly. To avoid being found, they did not return straight to the palace. 

They arrived in a portal gate near the Yellow Villa and entered it in secret. Laina had already sent word to Margaret to make preparations for them, so they were expecting them.
