You can’t access the Teleport Wells, but you must go back to the pillar in Glade of Trust. Once you’re in the general area, you can clearly see the Orb glowing.

Once you see the glow, head straight for it and you’ll encounter the same broken bridge. As Merlin said before, you will just be able to walk on air to cross this bridge and pick up the Orb. Place the thing in the pillar to return to your normal form and remove the curse from the valley whole.

In the end you can talk to mother Gothel again to complete this quest. Some interesting information will be revealed to you in this dialogue where you will learn that you are the ruler of dreamlight valley who left them hanging at The Forgetting.
