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.

Speaking of, Ven returned his attention to Zelda's arrows and targets, openly curious. He knew what bows were, of course, but he hadn't seen many people use them here. "So what job is this you're working on?"
no subject
Zelda smiled. "It had been a gift. So that I could fight and be safe." As in Link wanted the young goddess as far from the battle as he could get her.
no subject
"Wow," he murmured as he admired it, "that was a really good gift." It brought back memories of Terra, like many things did lately -- that wooden Keyblade he'd given Ven, which had really been the start of his more serious training. Or maybe Ven had just taken his training more seriously after that, and really put his heart into it for that reason.
He straightened up again, nodding as if he understood. "Mm. I'm sure it'll keep you safe. Not just the weapon itself, but the one who gave it to you -- their memories are with it, so they're with you, too." He wasn't materialistic by nature, but that was the good thing about possessions: even if you lost them, you didn't lose the memories they carried.
no subject
She looked back up at Ven, crystal blue eyes studying him. "I think I am done with practice today." If only because she didn't want to over work herself.
"Would you walk with me back to the city?"
no subject
As they went, Ven asked curiously, "So you spend a lot of time at the Observatory, right? Do you work there?"
no subject
Even if it was a very small way.
Zelda looked back up towards the sky pulling her back over her shoulder. They weren't too far from the city or her destination but she liked the company.
no subject
"So is that what you do? Go through the information we know about this world?" He knew what an observatory was, sure -- it had been one of the first places he'd checked out, back after his arrival -- but that didn't seem to be its primary purpose from what he had seen.
no subject
Zelda didn’t do these things because they were a job of hers. It was something she chooses to do which was why she occasionally had parties or things going on to lift the hero’s spirits. No matter how sad and hard things got there was always a reason so smile and Zelda didn’t want anyone to forget that. She didn’t want people to lose hope. Perhaps it was her own connection and understanding of dark and light that drove her but it made her determined.
no subject
Not that there was anything bright about war itself, but things could certainly have been worse. As he'd said before, the Heroes all had each other, friends and allies and fellow individuals who wanted to save this world. That was always something to be thankful for.
no subject
As they spoke they stepped into the bustling city. It seemed like everyone was busy with something which made sense considering the event that was going on and then the news of the war. After a little ways Zelda stopped.
“Thank you for walking with me. I’m going to leave off from here though. I have a friend I want to check up on.” Her smile widens. “I’ll catch up with you another time.”
