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.

Observatory 30th June
Like when Terra ended up making him feel just a little better, even if he didn't let it on, Zelda's words did have a small measure of comfort to him. Sephiroth swallowed it all back and further into his conscious thoughts before he felt safe enough to speak again.
"I might well hold you to that." He tried to huff a dry laugh out with that as well in an attempt to lighten the turn their conversation had taken. He hadn't come to find Zelda to have her prop up or nurse his bruised ego.
Observatory 30th June
She looked up at the sun as it slowly began it's decent towards the afternoon. They've been talking for a little while now and she knew he'd have to go soon.
"Why don't I give you something before you go? To take with you." She placed down the water and then quickly organized her things. "I was trying this new recipe for sweet cakes. I have extra's I don't know if you'd be interested in taking a few with you. It will at least stop Kopula from eating them all." That moogle was going to get fat.
Observatory 30th June
Zelda's offer woke him up to the fact that the afternoon were indeed beginning to draw on and he'd have to get on if he were to catch that shuttle.
"Hm." He nodded, but at the same time it wasn't as if he'd eat sweet cakes either. Spencer wasn't much for such treats either; it was a case of having to be considering Sephiroth's opinion of them. Smoothly, he made to stand and stepped away from the bench, shrugging the weight from his backpack back more firmly onto his shoulders. Silver hair rustled where he'd pulled it over his shoulder to keep it out of the way; it's length still met well passed his belt line.
"Perhaps some other time, but thank you. Though, could I trouble you to fill my water flask before I go?"
He wouldn't reach to the side pocket of his pack, to retrieve the same though, in case Zelda didn't accept to do so.
Observatory 30th June
She nodded her head with a wide smile taking the flash from Sephiroth. "Of course. It will only take a moment." She stepped around him and walked inside of the Observatory with a quick pace. She returned a few minutes later with the container filled with cold water. She had some chilled in a pitcher inside and she thought that it might be better than giving him warm water.
"Here."
It was something small but she was glad that she could help. "Stay safe okay and I'll try and write."
Observatory 30th June
If he were really going to put that which had been and what might be, out of relevant thought in the present then Sephiroth would have to rearrange what exactly he considered important in Crystallis. Zelda was right, now that he had a moment to think about it, there were a lot of others that he could really afford to dedicate some more time to getting to know better.
Other than those, like Jade, who just happened across his path every once in a while.
Stirring him from that thought, Sephiroth turned to face Zelda as she came back and took the flask from her, setting it back into the side pocket of his pack and shifting the weight around a little again before nodding finally with a small smile.
"Don't push yourself too hard." It was a final piece of advise dragged up from back in the conversation a little and it followed with a short two-fingered salute that came from his forehead as Sephiroth turned to leave.
Striding away from the observatory, the soldier didn't even look back over his shoulder.
