Sephira streched her legs before going on a full-scale run. Star and Midnight watched her as she run around Lon Lon Ranch's borders. After five laps, she stopped suddenly and drew the stick she used as a sword. She went through the sequances she had been taught as a child. After working up a good sweat, she stopped, stuck her 'sword' back in her belt, and walked over the small stream near which Star and Midnight sat. Stripping of her clothes, Sephira washed off the sweat, then turned to her two friends. "What did you think of that? Was I better than last time?" She grinned. Midnight snorted, meaning "If you mean smellier, yes." Star bumped him disapprovingly, then rubbed at Sephira's leg, indicating her approval of the exercises. Sephira rubbed both thier heads. "Thanks for the input. Now do we want fish or rabbit for lunch?" Star turned towards the stream, then shook her head. "No fish here today, you scared them." Sephira grinned and she put her clothes back on. "Then rabbits. Whoever's back here first is the better hunter." The three took off on thier favorite game, knowing that Midnight would make the first catch, Star would get back quickest, and Sephira would get the biggest catch.

After a hearty lunch, Sephira pulled her black cloak with its white stars out of a bag on her back. Stretching as she stood, Sephira grinned at her two friends. "Well, it's time. I've been 16 for a few weeks now. Time to get a blade." She pulled a map out of her bag. It wasn't very accurate, as she had drawn it herself as was the custom of her people. Looking it over, she pointed to Kokiri Forest. "I bet they would have blades, and cheap enough." Sephira fingered her wallet then sighed. "I wish I could make it on my own, as is custom." Midnight butted her leg with his head. "You won't be able to make it, but you can improve the blade you buy." Star shook her coat then pointed to the Castle on the map. "We could steal a blade from the Armery, if it makes you feel better." Sephira grinned and shook her head. "Getting it with my powers would be nice, but I don't like stealing. I'll find some metal later and improve my new blade if need be." She put on her cloak to hide her appearance, as many males considered her an attractive piece and she didn't like thier attention. She started walking towards the forest at a pace most people would consider a jog but was just a walk to her. Star and Midnight walked on either side of her.

Maika burst out of the forest, blood running down her arm. Beginning to feel light headed, she continued running. Maika stopped in her tracks, putting pressure on her forearm to stop the bleeding. She looked around for an escape route. She spotted a place she could go on the other side of the forest, and started heading there. Running too fast, she tripped over a rock and fell. Pain exploded in her arm, and she tried to get up unsuccessfully. Strange colors creeping into the edges of her vision, Maika crawled forward pitufully. Then, she blacked out.

Sephira was walking along when she saw a young woman bleeding on the path. She was about to turn away when Star hissed and Midnight growled. Drawing her new blade, Sephira stepped forward, knowing that her freinds had scented enemies. When she didn't see anyone, she whistled for Star and Midnight to keep an eye out, then, sheathing her sword, stooped to check out girl. She was bleeding heavily from her arm. Pulling off her cloak, Sephira bound the wound as tight as she could, then picked up the girl, staggering slightly under the wieght. "Star, check ahead; Midnight, check behind. We need to get this girl back to our camp." Walking as quickly as she could, Sephira headed towards her camp, listening to Star sniffing ahead for enemies and Midnight hiding thier trail.
It was midnight before they reached thier camp. Sephira laid the girl down, then checcked her wound. Seeing it was deep, she took thread and needle from her bag and stiched up the wound as best she could. Star and Midnight brought wood for a fire, which Sephira lighted as soon as she could. Binding the wound back up, Sephira laid back and watched the girl. Star was fishing in the stream and Midnight was sleeping by the fire. Sephira looked at the stars for a minute, then started to sing a song in an ancient language. It was during this song that the girl opened her eyes.

Maika slowly blinked open hereyes, unaware of where she was. What had happened? Then she remembered- The moblins. She heard a voice singing.Maika looked in that direction and saw a girl of about sixteen. There was a strange looking cheetah by the river, along with a black wolf. She suddendly became very wary. She tried to sit up, noticing she had stitches in her arm. Rather quickly, she asked, "Who are you? Where am I?"

Sephira stopped singing when she heard the girl speak. She pushed her back down when she tried to get up. "Easy, you'll tear those stiches. In answer to your questions, I'm Sephira, the last of my tribe. The cheetah is FallenStar, the wolf is Midnight. You are in our current camp, slightly to the south-west of Hyrule Castle Town." Midnight stood up and walked over to the girl and sniffed her. He snorted and walked back to the fire. "I'm sure she smells. She's been sweating and I haven't washed the blood off her yet. Manners, Midnight, how many times must I tell you?" Star handed her some of the fish she had caught, then snuggled up to the girl. Sephira gutted the fish, then spitted them over the fire. "So, where are you from? And why were those creatures chasing you?"

"I'm... Not really from anywhere in particular." Maika said. She may be half-lying, but she wasn't sure if Sephira was a threat to her or not. "I was attacking a moblin camp I found. I thought they didn't have any weapons. They didn't, but they had reinforcements that did. And... I got hit. Long story short, I screwed up." She looked at the fire, wondering if somehow I could use it to my advantage if... No, She thought. I can't think like that. She obiously means to help me.

Sephira nodded slowly. The girl seemed older than herself, though possibly more foolish. "Yes, you screwed up big time. Know your enemy before attacking. Otherwise, you might not get so lucky." The girl seemed tense, and Sephira couldn't blaim her. She would be tense, too, if she didn't have Star or Midnight to tell her she was safe. Turning to the now cooked fish, Sephira tossed one each to the two, who ate it ravenously. Offering one to the girl, Sephira said, "You can relax. Star or Midnight will let us know if anyone tries to sneak up on us. And I am too tired to attack you tonight. Besides, I was taught some decent manners." Star snorted. "Yes, I was Star."

Maika smiled and took the fish. This girl probably thought she was an idiot... Well, she was right. "Thanks." She said. She was about to bite into it when she remembered - her swords. "Whoa, wait." Maika said. "Have you seen my swords?" She desperatley hoped that the moblins hadn't taken them - they were her only weapons, and they had magical properties.

"Swords? I don't think so. Guys, did you see any swords with our guest?" Both animals shook thier heads. Star stood up, shook herself, and trotted off. "Star is going to go see if she can find them, though no garantees." Sephira started eating her fish, aware that the girl was upset at the loss of her blades. "If Star can't find them, we can look again in the morning. If we still can't find them, you can buy a new one. I can improve it afterwards, if you like." Sephira offered. She ate some more fish, then remembered. "By the way, you never introduced yourself."

"Oh, excuse me. I'm Maika." She looked down nervously. "Those swords had magical properties. If someone else found them - let's not go there." She bit into her fish, realizing how hungry she was. And, with that, that she had lost one of her canine teeth. "Those d*** moblins." She muttered under her breath.

Sephira picked up the tooth and looked it over. "I think I can put this back in there. I'm not sure, I've only done it on my own teeth. How else do you think I keep them straight?" She flashed a grin. "Don't worry about your swords. Star will find them. After you finish eating, get some sleep. Tomorrow might be a long day." With that, Sephira walked over to the small bed of leaves and branches she had, just outside of the firelight, laid down, and hummed herself to sleep with a little lullaby she had made up.

Maika took the last bite of her fish and lay down, trying to get comfortable. Her arm stung with pain, but she ignored it as she closed her eyes. Hopefully Sephira wouldn't murder her in her sleep... I need to stop being so cautious. Maika thought. But, then again, it doesn't hurt... She continued in her mind as she fell to sleep.

Sephira woke up the next morning to Star nudging her side. "Morning, Star, did you find anything?" Star shook her head. Sephira rubbed her face just the way she liked it. "At least you tried, that's what's important. Now get some sleep." Sephira stood and stretched, then regarded her guest. She still slept, so Sephira started her sword sequances. Midnight she sent for rabbits or whatever else he could scare up for breakfast. She muttered to herself about the grip being off, promising herself she'd fix it when doing the rest of the sword over.

Sephira finished her exercises, then turned as Star pulled her sleave. "What is it, girl?" Star started making motions. "I thought I heard commotion while I was searching last night. Battle sounds from the forest." Sephira nodded. "Alright, Midnight and I will check it out. You stay here with Maika. We'll be back when we can." Sephira whistled loud and hard, so peircingly that only wolves could here it. She started to carve a message for Maika in the dirt, using her sword to dig deep. Midnight came running up, three rabbits dangling from his mouth, when she finished. Quickly she scanned it to make sure there were no errors, then told Midnight what was going on. He set the rabbits down and the two walked their fast gaite to the forest.
