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.

Her bright blue gaze flicked up to Ramza for a moment as her fingers lightly tapped against the desk. The sound was almost in audible against the smooth paper that covered the surface. She was happy to see Ramza, he was at least okay after those memories. She hadn't seen how it would end, which was her own fault for using those powers without the proper protection. She wanted to ask him more but the task at hand was more important so she stayed focused.
"I have read about some magical armor. I admit I was looking into it as well. I think it will be some sort of device that is meant to only kill heroes of light and destroy their crystals. If that is the case then we need some sort of mirror armor." She knew it was war and they would be fighting people from the Empire but that didn't mean she didn't worry about casualties from both sides. People shouldn't be punished for fighting for what they think is right and she could understand why the heroes of light might be targeted. After all, they were pieces of the Calamity.

"A laser is a light-based attack...I think. So you think mirror mail would reflect it?" He had seen such armor turn away powerful magic attacks. It had not occurred to him that lasers might be reflected as well.
He smiled at Zelda. "It is worth looking into, at the least. If we could eliminate that threat, we could safely place more Heroes on the front line to defend against the Empire."

She was happy that she was able to help but there was something she wanted to talk to Ramza about; even if it was a sensitive topic.
"Ramza..." Her voice was soft holding many meanings in a single utterance of his name. "Are you alright?"
Zelda hadn't been able to see the end of the dream but then Ramza didn't know the truth of her fate. One day she'd use that power again, be encased in crystals and sleep until the darkness was defeated by her hero.

"Yes, of course," he answered absently. He had tried his best to bury the memory of his brother away in his mind. Silly to dwell on pains of the past when the coming days held fresh tragedies that could yet be circumvented.
"If you mean about what happened in that other world....I am not the one to worry over. You...I hope you are well. You should not have paid so high a price on my behalf."

She looked back down at her notes and her maps before glancing up at Ramza.
“We are all getting ready now.” Zelda smiled. “But I’m glad you are okay. It will be a help to have someone so skilled fighting with us.”
