Did Isopia routinely feel things? No. She, at most, felt general contempt and apathy towards the majority of those that she met. And, in keeping with that attitude, kept to herself for the majority of her days. Of course there were a few for whom she was slightly more welcoming and open. But even among those, few even knew her real name. It was a life of self-imposed solitude, so that she might better serve her ultimate purpose here: providing balance.

Hototo had died, and though she felt nothing for her lost half-brother, she would not let his sacrifice, or the sacrifices of others, be in vain.

Gliding on wings of black, in her raven form as she was most often found, the girl glided east. Since the last epic battle that she had confronted, the earthen-child had not been able to find quiet inside of her mind. Likely it was because of the events that came prior - her conversation? meeting? pseudo swim? with Volterra, and the reality of what a poor fighter she was, as demonstrated by Abraham. Isopia had returned to her hut in her glade, to try and sort through some of these complex emotions in her own silent way, but to no avail.

And so, she had just started flying. She ignored the ache in her wings as she flew - forcing her body to come under the command of her mind through force if necessary. Despite her mental training, Isopia couldn't help but notice a portal hovering below, leading into a small subset of islands that she had never noticed before. Surely these weren't here when she inquired about Maren's boat? Lowering her altitude, the death-marked raven spied her father through a golden and impassive gave.

Ah.

It all made sense.

Clamping her beak shut, the girl descended swiftly on ebon wings. The past three Gods who had arrived had had lesser-gods follow them through. The Sun God who thought he had thwarted his assailant, had been wrong. Would her own father be so bold as to assume that he too had come through un-followed.

With a caw, Isopia flapped her wings at the sea birds who had assembled near her Father's impressive bulk. With a final bold caw, she landed on the giant's withers, tucking her wings tightly against her body.

"All of your siblings have been followed through. Battles have been fought, and won." She reported with an academic and almost clerical tone. She did not pass judgement, nor did she mention her part in the trials. It was merely enough that should her Father be ignorant of these events, that he was brought up to speed.

Iso (in raven form) lands on Earthy's withers and lets him know there have been past battles.
