She was resting in her den, the old Abraxas refusing to leave the Garden despite the bad air quality and potential dangers from the eruption in Boreas. She was too weak to travel and decided against following the Empire to better hunting grounds. She was a prideful creature, much like the rest of her family and didn't want to feel like a burden to them anymore than she already was for her son, Zagan. He had remained by her side to take care of her until she sent him away to go with the rest of them. She wanted to see her boys flourish and live their lives the way they wanted to, and she knew she was holding Zagan back. Where Iroh was flourishing in his training, Zagan had been failing because he didn't want to leave her. He understood more or less the gravity of the situation but kept telling her she would get better.
She needed to get across to him she would not be getting better. She could feel it deep in her soul. The Fallen God had forsaken the family and it started with Amon's leaving, the destruction of her nephews empire, and Malleus' death. Pyrrhic even seemed unsure what to do and yet she could not be there to try and guide him, either. Her eyes were closed against the clouded sky for a moment before she sent a call for her boys. She wanted to see them and let them know she was not long for this world. She didn't want them to see her as weak as she was but also didn't want to die without telling them how much she loved them.
