    "Krea," Sephira mused. She didn't recall hearing the name before, but there were many names she had never heard before. After all, she had only been in Hyrule for a couple years. If the man was another ghost, he would most likely have been dead longer than she had been alive.
    Midnight was walking beside the two when Melody spoke to him. He jumped back with a surprised growl. Sephira glanced down. "What is it?" she asked. Her hand strayed towards her sword, but she had a feeling she didn't need it.
    Melody, Midnight growled. He was a little annoyed at being snuck up upon.
    Sephira patted his side, understanding his annoyance. Then she spoke, not lifting her eyes from Midnight since she didn't know where exactly Melody was. "Melody? Would you mind explaining what you know about this?" she asked as politely as she could. As always, her old forest accent seemed to creep into her voice as she addressed the ghost. She didn't know why. The higher-pitched notes of the forest birds mixed with the gruffer notes of the cheetahs and other beasts always made her feel comforted when she heard it, although she doubted she would ever hear it from a mouth other than her own ever again.

      Elwood was startled when Midnight growled, and then didn't know what was happening when Sephira spoke to the air. He found the tone Sephira had suddenly used very interesting and beautiful, however. Of course he was even more startled when Melody became visible in front of them. He gasped. "Her! It's her!" he pointed wildly at all of her.
      "Yes, yes, it's me. Nice to see you too, boy," Melody rolled her eyes. She turned to Sephira. "And hello to you too, darling. Fancy seeing you here." She knew Sephira wasn't in the mood, but it was fun either way. After a moment of intense silence, she talked again. "His name is Dodatni Kreator. He is a warlock, the strongest I've ever known."

        Sephira smiled ruefully to herself as Elwood named Melody the ghost. She had been certain anyways. She looked at the spirit, her brow wrinkling slightly with confusion. "Why would a warlock want Elliot? And why would he use Elwood to kill him, if he's so powerful?" She had a suspicion on the latter question. Powerful men always seemed to like showing off their power by using weaker men to do their dirty work. It was one thing that often infuriated her.
        Midnight, of course, had no interest in the conversation. He glanced over at Elwood and wondered if the Kokiri would like to play with him. The wolf started looking around for a stick. One of his favorite games with Star was tug-of-war. Sephira was a good player, although she tended to let him win when she thought she was pulling too hard.

          Melody sighed. People, always thinking they were the reason for everything. "The warlock didn't want Elliot in any way. He didn't care for him. He just wanted a golden heart. And Elwood was just the vessel..." She stopped herself and looked over to Elwood. She didn't exactly want him to hear what Dodatni was planning for him. Elwood however was starting to lose interest and gain more over with Midnight. The wolf seemed to be in the mood for playing, which of course Elwood loved. Elwood moved over to where Midnight was and asked excitedly, "What do you want to play, boy?"
          Satisfied with the kokiri's actions, Melody turned back to Sephira. "Krea was performing a spell. To do the spell, he needed a pure soul. That's where Elwood came in. Kokiris are usually pure in every way, but for some reason just a tiny bit of Elwood wasn't. And tiny wasn't good enough. Krea needed a 100% pure soul. But, the amount of pureness was enough that a simple ritual was enough to purify it completely. Let blood of a golden heart be poured over thy soul, and cleansed thy soul will be of all the death and more...." she said. It didn't seem like she fancied Krea's rituals too much.

            Sephira's jaw dropped. "He killed Elliot to purify Elwood? But what does he need Elwood for?" She was certain it was bad, so she knew she would have to protect Elwood. She sighed. She'd have to protect Elwood from Rose when she brought him to the Gerudo, and from this warlord. This was going to be hard. Midnight make it easier, she thought, glancing over to see him find a larger stick. The wolf dragged it to the boy and held it out to him, trying to present him with one end so they could play. She chuckled faintly. She hoped he wouldn't wring the boy's arm off, as he sometimes did with her. She turned back to Melody. "Where is this warlord? Would I be able to stop him at all?" She would argue with the ghost on the last point, she though, but she wanted to know what chance she'd have.

              Elwood smiled and reached for the stick. As he grabbed it he thought in his mind, an animal like this, he probably has more strength than I could ever hope to get...Gosh I'm sorry arm. And with that, he pulled.
              Melody went, "Hah!" and then regained her composure. "I'm sorry I've just never heard the words "warlord" and "stop" in the same phrase. Honey, please, there's a reason why he's so strong. He is a lot older than he looks. Try a couple millennia older. That's why he needs Elwood. Every couple hundred years he needs a pure soul to reenforce the strength of his original spell. The spell that makes him immortal. Believe me, the poor guy who gets his soul chosen? Not nice for him at all. Only this time, I decided to stop it, mainly because he was going to take Elliot's essence, and I'm sure James would suffer even more from that. If you were to try and fight him, honey, you wouldn't stand a chance. I knew him in life. He was strong enough to stop us back then, imagine now when he's spent so much time sucking up power from other witches and warlocks and learning every spell ever invented, not to mention creating some of his own. You have to believe me about this, I know he will destroy you. I should too, he was my brother."

                Midnight gripped the stick firmly and started pulling, shaking his head often to try and loosen Elwood's grip. He growled playfully.
                Sephira blinked in surprise. A couple millenia old? How on Din's red earth was that possible? She supposed she could understand it, after all, with her phoenix reincarnation ability, she couldn't die until she concieved a child, at which time she'd lose her ability all together. Her temper flared a little when Melody said the man would annilate he., and she was very much tempted to tell the ghost all about her ability, but she held her tongue. After all, who knows how many ears could hear her.
                Then Melody told her the man was her brother. Sephira's mouth fell. "Your brother? Your own brother killed you?" She wasn't as surprised as some people would be, since her whole tribe had been killed because of her betrothed. But it still surprised her. She shook herself. "Never mind, I doubt you'd lie about something like that. If I can't stop him, how can I protect Elwood? Since Krea didn't steal Elliot's essence, Elwood still isn't pure enough, right?"

                  Elwood gave a little laugh and tried to move Midnight's head faster with the stick. If he managed to tire the wolf he might have a chance at winning. Lucky for him he didn't get tired.
                  Melody wasn't inclined to tell the story of his brother and her, but Sephira didn't press the subject. "And you're right, Elwood isn't pure enough yet. Even more, he is less pure than before. After all he did kill Elliot whether he wanted to or not. I made the arrangements so that Elliot's essence wasn't attainable any more, but he isn't the only person with a heart of gold. I'm not sure, but it is likely that when Elwood encounters someone else with that quality, he'll lose control once more." She sighed. "The only way I see is possible for you to keep him safe is for you to keep an eye on him."

                    Midnight kept shaking at the stick, until finally he shook so hard it slipped out of his teeth. He growled and stalked over to grab it up again.
                    Sephira sighed and glanced over at Elwood and Midnight. The two were enjoying themselves, but she wondered how much longer they'd be able to. "So the only way to keep Elwood safe, and to keep him from killing others, is to take him where there are no golden hearts. That means either a place that's completely rough and gruff, or where there's no people at all." She sighed again. "May I ask exactly what arrangements you made for Elliot's essence?" If she could learn exactly how it was done, she felt she might be able to duplicate it, although she prayed to the goddesses she wouldn't have to.

                      Elwood laughed again at the wolf's reactions. He let Midnight grab back the stick, but made sure not to let go. This was too fun to lose now. He pulled again.
                      Melody eyed Sephira suspiciously, wondering what the girl was planning. She thought for a moment at the question before answering. "Well it's nothing big. It's cremating the body. I find the better way is to lay it on dry wood and make a circle of salt around it. The salt is pure, it will ensure the fire or essence doesn't escape from the circle. When all that remains is ashes, the soul and essence will be free from the ties it has to this world and then nothing evil will be able to touch them again." She frowned, "What are you planning Sephira?" All the teasing had left her tone.

                        Midnight gripped the stick again and started pulling again. This time, however, he didn't stand in the one spot. He backed up as well as shaking his head. Unfortunately, that put him off-balance and after one particulairily vicious shake, he sent both himself and Elwood tumbling into the lake. Midnight woofed with surprise, then charged at Elwood, trying to find the stick again.
                        Sephira was surprised. Just burning the body? Well, that's what Stari did anyways. She faced Melody. "Just in case Elwood kills again, but you aren't around to deal with the body. I want to make using Elwood enough of a challenge that your brother will give up, even if it takes me the next two hundred years to do so. And if all I have to do is burn the body and surround the pier with salt, that is easy enough for me. My people have always burned our dead. It is a simple matter for me to do the same." She looked over when she heard splashing and chuckled at the antics of her wolf.

                          Elwood was very surprised for a moment but then began laughing and trying to beat Midnight to the stick. He hadn't had so much fun in so long, it was like a dream.
                          Melody kept her suspicious glance on Sephira but didn't say anything. She thought the other girl to be very peculiar. "Well, I'm sure you and Elwood have somewhere to be, right? I'll step out of your way then." She began gliding backwards, keeping her eyes on Sephira. "If you need anything, please hesitate on calling, and I trust you'll be able to transfer all this information to James. Ta-ta," she waved and with one last smile she was gone.

                            Midnight growled as he found the stick. Now was his favorite part. He grabbed it and darted out of the water. He turned back to face Elwood and growled. He waited for Elwood to come after him. Then he would jump away and dodge the boy as he tried to get the stick back.
                            Sephira bowed in the direction Melody had vanished from. "Thank you for your help, Melody. I will make sure that James knows all this as well." She straightened and turned to the two boys. She smiled at them playing. "Oh, what I wouldn't give to still be in the forest, before all this happened," she whispered. Before Strattus had killed her tribe and left her with no home. Before she had met the man who left her with no heart.

                              Elwood smiled suspiciously in Midnight's direction, but after careful considering he ran after the wolf. Once he was close enough he lunged for the stick, fully aware that the wolf was probably going to move but not caring. He had noticed that Sephira was now standing alone, the ghost having disappeared. However he knew when it was time to go Sephira would call him, so he kept playing.

                                Midnight jumped to the side, then ran full pelt towards Sephira. She jumped aside to avoid being run over, laughing at the wolf. "A beast of the forest, a son of the wild, and you're acting like a pup," she called cheerfully after him. She then turned to look up at the sun. "Elwood, if we go now, we'll be able to meet up with James before the sun sets. Would you be willing to post-pone the rest of your game until my cheetah can join in?" She debated about adding that Star might be less likely to play these sorts of games, but decided against it. Star had her own games to play, and it would give Midnight a chance to rest. After all, if she was going to protect Elwood, they were going to have a long road ahead of them.
