havens of solitude at high altitude

Something was very wrong. She had been nauseous for days, weeks possibly. She was horribly bloated. What kind of illness was this? At the start of her illness, she had felt a little feverish. Thus, she had turned to the safety and sanctuary of the north. The mountain passes were safe, and could easily be traversed. Perhaps the stress of Fiori falling so soon after her joining had made her feel this way.
Had it been her fault, that it had fallen? Was there something she should have been doing, to aide her Queen? She had taken her time to settle in, after all. Perhaps that had been her downfall. A lack of activity on her part could have caused something to this degree, surely. Granted, kingdoms did come and go in this land, but so soon after her arrival?
Getting to her feet, she pawed at the nest she had made. The furs were more of a cushion than anything, keeping her joints from bruising on the cold stone floor. She had been laying around like a useless lump for the morning, and it was becoming irksome. Food held no appeal, but she forced herself to eat nonetheless. Now, she opted to go out and seek out something to eat for the day. Even just a hare would be enough.
