Sephira left the cover of the trees and stepped into the light of the setting sun. Stretching she looked at the sun. "We're not gonna get back to camp tonight," she muttered to Midnight. "Well, you can go ahead and improve that sword of yours." Midnight motioned. Sephira nodded. "Alright, I'm going to need a lot of wood." She dug a small pit as Midnight headed off to gather some. She pulled out a small hammer that she had fashoined for when she did this. She made a fire from some of the wood and laid the rest near-by, within easy-reach. When the fire was hot enough, Sephira unraveled the grip from her sword and placed it in a small bowl she had made. She stuck the bowl over the fire, and watched the sword melt. When it had finished, she poured it into a mold she had made. Pulling the mold away from the fire she let it solidify. As it was doing so, she muttered words to herself that would imbue the blade with her personality, making it easier for her to wield it with either hand. Finishing her speack, Sephira looked at the blade and saw it was as red as blood. Satisfied, she waited for it to finish solidifying. When it was hard, she set to work sharpening and enlongating it, by sticking over the fire for a little while, then pulling it out, hammering it, then plunging it into the river near-by. When the sword was as long and sharp as she wanted it, Sephira got to work on the grip. She kept the old one, as she never knew when it would make a good trade. She wrapped black leather into her grip, placing a diamond as the pommel stone. She then set to work hardening it so that it would retain its shape. She put it on her blade and examained her new sword. The blade was as long as her arm, as wide as her palm, and as thin as a leaf. Its blood-red color went well with her black hilt and diamond pommel stone. Sephira looked up and saw the sky was starting to lighten with dawn. Noticing that reminded her of her late night last night, and her busy day earlier. Stretching cramps from her muscels, Sephira tucked her sword in her belt and lay down to sleep.

Sephira woke and streched, looking up to see what time it was. "Wow. Almost 3 pastnoon. No wonder I'm hungry." Dipping into her bag, she pulled out a few apples and ate them, looking around for Midnight. Eventually she saw him, trotting up to her with Star by his side. "Hey, Star. How is Mica?" "She is fine. We couldn't find her swords, though. She went off on her own this morning." Sephira nodded. "Well, let's go to Kakoriko. I want to see if Ryli made it back OK." As they walked, Sephira and Midnight told Star about what had happened in the forest.

Sephira stepped out of LonLon Ranch and stretched gingerly, her back still a little sore. She turned towards her camp, to lay down and sleep. She considered what she would like to do later. Star and Midnight quickly fell sound asleep when they arrived. Sephira ate an orange before laying down. She considered going to the Desert, Death Mountian, and Lake Hylia. She hadn't decided which, though. Maybe she'd go to Kakariko and see if she could find someone to practice her swordsmanship with.

Sephira woke up the next morning to find that Star and Midnight had already left, getting breakfast she suspected. Standing up, she stretched gingerly, then pulled off her bandage to feel her scratches The ridges were long and would probably stay there for a long time to come, if only as scars. She sighed, then started her morning routine. She ran around for a hour, then drew her sword and practiced her forms. Afterwards she stripped and bathed. Star and Midnight had returned with rabbits by the time she had finished. She skinned hers and put it over a fire she built. She ate an apple while it cooked. When it finished, she ate what she could and put the leftovers in her pack. She then turned to her companions. "What shall we do today?" Before they could answer, all three heard yelling. Stamping out the fire, Sephira hurried towards it, Star and Midnight following.

Sephira led the group to her camp. The two trees provided sparse shelter from the sun, though it would get chilly later on. Star and Midnight hurried to gather up sticks for a fire later. Sephira smiled at them, then sat down and invited her friends to sit. "So where are you guys from?" she asked.

Gerrard looked around at the camp. It was quite beautiful, hearing Sephira's question he answered. "I was born in a village in Lanayru Province. It got destroyed by Moblin's when I was 7. I was one of the only survivors." He then waited for Elliot to say where he was from.

Elliot was absent-mindlessly tracing patterns on the ground when he became suddenly aware that he had been asked a question. "Oh, uh...I was born here, actually. In the village of Hyrule." He scratched his head. "It's been a while since I've been back home though. I actually came back here to visit my family again."

Sephira nodded. Since no one asked her about her past, she kept it to herself, prefering not to relive those painful days. She turned to Star and Midnight, who were relaxing by the stream. "Can you guys get us some dinner, please? Anything ought to do." she asked them. The two stood up and took off, making it a competition, as usual. She turned to her guests. "You can stay for dinner, if you like."

Gerrard thought about it... he had almost no rupees so he couldn't buy himself dinner. And it was almost dark so he didn't want to risk getting hurt by hunting for food so he said, "sure I'll stay for dinner." He said.

(For now, the above post is disregarded.)
It wasn't long before Star and Midnight brought back five rabbits and a bird. Star was proud of herself for catching it, though as it was a Cuccoo, Sephira had no idea how she killed it. She lit the fire, put a pot of water to boil, and skinned the rabbits while making small talk. She cut the rabbits into peices and put them into the water, along with carrots, potatoes, and other vegatables from my pack. She let it sit to boil for awhile before serving it in my small wood bowls. She handed Elliot and Gerrad wooden spoons, and dug into her stew.

"Thank you very much, Sephira," Elliot said, genuinely grateful for the warm food to fill his stomach. He quickly gulped it down in a matter of seconds and, eying the pot, wondered if it would be rude of him to ask for seconds. After all that commotion, he hadn't realized just how hungry he was.

Sephira was surprised at how hungry she was. She was even more surprised at how hungry Elliot seemed to be. She noticed him eyeing the pot and took the hint. She served him another bowlful, then grinned. "If you want more, help yourself, but whoever eats the most has to do the dishes."

Gerrard started eating the stew, it was quite delicious with the vegetables being a very nice addition. "Your 'pets' are very useful... takes a lot less energy to hunt for you," he said while eating the stew.

Totally worth it, Elliot thought, gladly taking another bowlful. He finished it down and then started to stack up his bowls, waiting for the others to finish so he could take all the dishes down to the stream.

Sephira smiled at the complament. "They love to help. And they usually have much more energy to burn then I do. Though I could probably make a less messy job of it." she added with a grin at Midnight. "Hey, I'm not a pup any more. I've learned how to hunt with minumal blood spillage," he protested. Sephira burst out laughing.
