Preparing for things to come.

Where: Aqures Ixen
When: June 29th – July 5th
Summary: Zelda isn’t one for war but she’s going to start practicing and thinking of strategies. She knows that there will be a meeting but she doesn’t want to attend empty handed. She is also on a look out for new heroes. It’s a bad time for them to show up which makes her think that they will.
Warning: None.


Zelda was always busy and with the threat of war she was even busier. She was coming up with plans using the city map as a guide. It would be better to use the cities natural strengths during the fight, such as preexisting walls, but it’s clear that this city wasn’t made to withstand a war. The best they could do was guess where the Empire might focus their attention and so Zelda made a list.

1.) Jessie’s Lab
2.) The Hospital
3.) The Fire Crystal
4.) The Castle
5.) The Old Observatory
6.) The old Magitek Research Facility
7.) Mognet Office
8.) Airship Port

There were other possible areas too but she didn’t think they’d attack schools or homes. They couldn’t chance leaving areas unprotected but she supposed they could put a concentration of people around specific points. There were a few locations that worried her more than others. She didn’t know if they should move the heroes in stasis or if they should focus around the crystal of fire. It would really help if they knew what the Empire was after.

She worked late into the evening, pouring over notes and making scribbles and plans on small pieces of paper.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

She was planning to fight and while her skills lay primarily in wit she wasn’t a stranger to brute strength. She thought of changing her jobs back to the skills she had mastered but she knew that Link wouldn’t want her on the front lines. Instead she practiced with the bow that he had made for her: aiming, firing, and then fetching the five arrows she was using for practice.

Zelda could be found practicing in a few places. Right outside the town was the most common. She could aim at trees or things around her without the possibly of hitting a foolish passerby. She could also be found right outside the Observatory, pass the garden that she had create and along the back of the building. She set up a small firing range with a few straw looking dummies at the opposite end. They weren’t perfect but they let her practice without destroying any arrows.

She could also be found using her illusionist skills such as duplicating herself. This would be the easiest way for her to help from afar and she hoped that she could think of ways to use these skills in a larger scale battle. She couldn’t help but wonder how well the Heroes of Light would ban together. She remembered the first time they all fought. It was in the Chocobo Ranch and it hadn’t gone very well at all but since then people have grown and changed. New heroes have arrived and they found a purpose.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Along with everything else Zelda was on the look out to see if new heroes would arrive. This was a constant duty that she gave herself but with war looming she decided to keep her eyes and ears out more so. It would be a perfectly awful time for the heroes to awake which made her think that they would. She also had no idea where they would show up which weighed heavily on her thoughts.

Asbel shook his head. He'd thought about it, but had decided not to involve anyone unless he truly believed there was a problem. The law enforcement team members were busy people, after all, and he had plenty of first-hand experience from home getting dragged out to deal with relatively trivial matters - and occasionally matters that didn't exist.

"Actually, that's why I'm here," he admitted. (Well, besides keeping the city clean, but that was a given.)

"I heard people talking about some guy who's been hanging around this area and sixth district. Honestly I didn't think too much about it at first, but they also said he was avoiding questions. It seemed a little odd, so I decided I'd check around and see if I bumped into him. But, so far, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary?"

Rubbing at his chin, Asbel tried to remember exactly what he'd heard said.

"I don't really know. It'll be tough picking him out of a crowd unless he shows up again and starts behaving oddly."

Asbel frowned, wishing he at least had something to go on, anything at all that would narrow down the man's identity by more than 50%. There had to be at least a tiny clue... Maybe he should go look for the people he'd heard talking again.

He shook his head finally. "No, not so much. I guess I should have asked questions, but I didn't really want to butt in. They did mention he'd been seen wearing an eyepatch? Though I guess, he could have removed it by now."
