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.

"We'll have to do the best we can," she said. "I think if we remind the Heroes why they're here, it will help. We want to defend Aqures Ixen -- our home, at least for now -- and not exact vengeance. We should let the quality of our defense be our revenge."

"We can hope and aim for the best. We can do everything that is within our power." She shook her head slowly. "There are some heroes who aren't used to fighting or war. We shouldn't force them. All our worlds are different and we all have different strengths."
Some of the heroes were children and she didn't want them to face the horrors of war.
no subject
To say nothing of the children. Her heart sank when she thought of them. The Crystals had strange choices in who they brought over.
"We'll make the best of thoee strengths," she concluded.

“They can cause more people to get hurt. I won’t allow that sort of foolishness. It might not be safe for any of us but those who are capable should stay.” She knew of a few who were leaving because they weren’t used to fighting but there were a few she knew that weren’t; which meant that others will be distracted and that wasn’t a helpful thought.
She knew it was selfish because she had already decided to stay but not everyone should.

She knew perfectly well how soldiers could be. Sometimes, they didn't listen. She sighed and then looked up at the sky thoughtfully. She blinked in the sunlight a couple of times; her lips pursed, as she did.
"Sometimes, waiting for the battle to come is the hardest part."

It wasn’t safe and it wasn’t logical.
“There is a least a lot to do to prepare. We won’t have much down time now.” There really was so much to do and at times Zelda wasn’t even sure where to start.
