It was quite easy to get to the higher meadows that comprised the upper parts of the Heavenly Fields if you had wings. For those who didn't, surely it would be a bit of a hike. Despite Isopia's penchant for learning new things, she didn't in fact make herself walk up the long and winding pathways to reach the field where she currently stood - she had taken the easy way out and flown here. But that was only because her mind so full, and her chest so full of anxious feelings and intellectual compromise. She flew, so that her mind could better untangle the web of mixed emotions inside of herself.

At first the demigoddess thought the feel was merely indigestion. Some species of heart burn, or possibly an upset stomach. However when neither water, nor relieving her bowels decreased her symptoms, she concluded that the feeling must actually by psychological. Despite her academic prowess, it did sort of surprise her to know that her mind could have such a drastic effect on her body, especially an effect that she hadn't intended. Though the Mountain believed she had done everything permissibly during her conversation with Alysanne and the challenge that it had led to, she was still left with a nagging weight that would not go away.

Was she upset that so many had seemingly turned against her? That was very unlike her - Isopia, the stoic. Isopia the needer of no one, Isopia the asshole. One did not receive such monikers if they truly cared about the opinions of others ... did they? Over and over Isopia replayed the conversation in her mind, considering what else she might have said and what Alysanne might have responded with in turn. Again and again she weighed the morals, thought of the moral compass-stone given to her by the tree, and ultimately concluded the same thing: given a chance, she would do everything precisely the same a second time around.

So why did she feel so lousy?
