Skyrim follower in main quest

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I've just started The World-Eater's Eyrie in the main quest, but I saw that my companion (Aranea Ienith) didn't follow me. My question is: where did she go ? Did she go back to Azura's shrine or did she get stuck in Dragonsreach ?

I'm just asking because I don't want to play the rest of the main quest and then realise I lost one of my followers.

Your companion can't follow you into Sovngarde, so she will wait for you where you left her. However, all companions don't wait forever and you should receive the message:

Your follower tires of waiting and leaves.

In the case of Aranea, yes back to Azura's shrine.
