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.

"I heard it... The Heroes are brought here, and sacrificed..." he paused a moment, thinking of the 'other' Fukutomi, "and the two-thousand year cycle has still continued so many times." He thought of the strange clock that the man had shown with the year. He still couldn't process it.
"... What... what could happen differently this time? Aren't we already caught? You said... our souls could be in two places, but I want to return..."
Return. Escape here. Get to the end of this story already. Go home. It chaffed. Being a warrior was exciting like nothing he'd experienced before, but in the end... he was just a kid for whom wars were too large but the path up a mountainside was just right.

She slowly rose from her seated position looking up at the sky. “It might be a cycle now, but nothing is forever. We will end it.”
Zelda believed in thinking that it could be done over worrying if it could. It was hard and she was scared too but she wanted to try her best. She couldn’t lie to him but she hoped to give him hope.

And although it was a bit bitter, he appreciated that she didn't bother giving false hope.
"I suppose I'll try my best too, even if it's just keeping your notes and crystals safe."
Manami glanced away for a moment, thoughtful again.
"Say, has anyone figured out what it means that we carry a part of the Calamity with us?"
His tone was light, as if this were an afterthought, but it was something that troubled him too.

“I’ve looked into it best I can but..” She shook her head again, resting a hand over her heart. “There really isn’t a way to learn more.”
Considering the person who had told them that was Kalki. There really was no way of knowing what it meant for sure. “Maybe after all this we can talk to Jessie.”

Feeling abruptly restless he quickly stood to start pedaling. "So, I guess I'll really be on my way this time." As he pulled away he said over his shoulder, "Thanks, Zelda-san! I'll come by later tonight for your stuff, okay?"
