A lot has happened in the book since the last post i did.  First of all, they actually got back to Fillory.  How they did it is very weird though.  They were still in the boy's room, but they had gotten drunk off of tonic and other alcoholic drinks.  And as they were sitting around a board game, Quentin was sitting against the back of the boy's bed, also drunk.  And as his vision began to blur, he started to hear seagulls.  He told Josh to stop, but Josh wasn't making any noises.  So as Quentin's vision returned to normal, he saw that he and his friends were on the boy's bed, but they were in the middle of the ocean.  They were back in Fillory, and Quentin was happy.

So, they were all sitting there.  Then, Quentin saw a ship swiftly approaching them.  It was the small ship that he had repaired earlier in the book.  But it was now piloted by Eliot, the high king of Fillory.  Quentin and Juliet were only king and queen, not high king or queen.  So as Eliot took them aboard, he began to explain what had happened since Quentin and Juliet had dissappeared.  First of all, the time in Fillory had passed a year and a day, even thought Quentin and Juliet were only gone for 3 earth days.  This is because Fillory and Earth run on different time streams, so time runs differently in both worlds.  But, then Eliot gets to the important part.  They aren't going back to the castle.  they are searching for the seven magical keys of Fillory.  Eliot was given this quest by the special animals of Fillory, the seeing hare being one of a few.  They had said it was important for Eliot to gather all the keys, as they thought that Fillory was breaking apart.  So now, Quentin has to help Eliot gather all the keys, or else Fillory, and possibly them, will be destroyed.
