If you're here today, 12/15 because you're stuck and can't go up the stairs to the next area for this quest, if you jump on the rock outcropping, you can shimmy up the left side of the stairs to the top around the invisible wall.

While doing this quest I was queued for a Mythic. I left to do the Mythic and now I can't figure out how to return to the floating island. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
If you're stuck, at the stairs, head east towards the entrance of this area and follow the rock wall. A ramp is formed. Walk up it. Jump to the stairs and walk up the railing.

What to do
Description
My kyrian would have attempted to retaliate by now, but these vile interlopers are a devious sort. Their necromancers pollute the air, tainting it with foul power that corrodes our very wings. I cannot advance an assault until they are eradicated. Deal with these befoulers, and I will deliver retribution to the rest.

We have rendered the enemy holdouts defenseless. My disciples will begin preparations to purge the corruption that your errant kind have left on our home. But more still remain in the inner sanctum of the temple. Their defenses prevent us from flying in en masse, but I can secure a foothold myself.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sustain, In Vain
These turncoats have kept busy. They've opened more portals around the area, allowing themselves to replenish their numbers with little trouble. Even with her might, the Paragon cannot eliminate an endless army. Let us destroy these portals.
