Isa's decision to intervene despite her long absence from battles came from the urgent need to prevent the dragons from winning the ongoing war. She recognized the nature of the conflict, especially considering the potential consequences if the water dragons emerged victorious that day. Her concern for the survival of Seadrei, the former sea emperor, and the overall outcome of the war drove her to action.
Despite her impactful involvement and display of power, Isa's subsequent behavior surprised many. Rather than continuing to actively participate in the battle or remain involved in the planning, she returned to her tent and resumed her usual laid-back relaxing activities. This unexpected shift puzzled those around her, as they anticipated her continued participation after witnessing her abilities and their positive effects on the situation.
