*Richard smiled at the thought.*
"Now that is some powerful magic," *he commented, wondering if he should not be on her side.* "But you command similar forces, do you not?"

*Loke turned to the newcomer at the door, and offered him a chair and a glass of wine.*
"Welcome, Edward Hyde." *he said.* "I am Loke, and I am a God from the North. I am gathering a few good men to go on a quest for the Holy Grail. You are more than welcome to join us. The war will be long and hard, but all those who join my forces, will be well rewarded!"
*He smiled back at Richard III.* "I command the forces of trolls and devils and demons. To find a golden cup will be child's play. It is to conquer it that will be tough. The Guardian is merely a child, a virgin, and yet she has great powers to fight us back. I can understand if you fear her too much to participate in the war!"

"Wonderful. I'll join. But how will I be rewarded? And who is this Guardian?"
*He took the chair and the wine, swallowing a large gulp of the latter.*
"Who is he, by the way?" *he asked, gesturing at Richard.* "I don't think I've seen him before."

*Loke smiled. He knew how to appeal to the darkest corners of mankind. He always had.*
"As for the reward: You can name your price, like all the other men who has joined me. These men are Richard III, future king of England, and Count Dracula, who should need no further introducion, as his reputation is widely known."
*He smiled grimly*
"As for the Guardian: She may look like a child, and her body may be tiny, but her soul is stronger than any Guardians before her. Never before has the Holy Grail been so hard to reach. Her name..... is Malefica."

*Roxanna gave an epic eyeroll*
"So you're not going to have any women on your side?"
*She tossed her hair and snickered*
"I'd ask if this was all a way for you to get laid, but I don't think I really need to."
*She left the room with one last sneer*

*Loke gave her a last glance as she left the room.*
"Such a little charmer," *he laughed and turned to Dracula.* "You must be very proud of her."

*Edward completely ignored Roxanna, choosing instead to dream about his reward.*
"Hmm, I'm not quite sure what I'd like for my reward. I'll have to think about that, although I believe it will involve women. So, we've got Dracula on our side? This should be interesting. As for this Guardian, her name sounds familiar."
*He thought for several minutes while sipping his wine before jerking his head up and nearl drenching his shirt with the wine in his glass.*
"Now I remember! I think I met her in the foyer! But she was green and evil-looking with a pet raven. She didn't look like a child as far as I can remember. And she certainly didn't look like someone who would be the Guardian of the Holy Grail."

*Loke smiled and tried to explain.*
"The green color was because of her childhood in Hell. Too much sulphur is obviously not good for a woman's skin. She went on holiday to Greece, and must have met her father Zeus there. I feel his intervention in the change of her looks. The pet raven has disappeared. I don't know its current whereabouts. And she really IS the Guardian of the Holy Grail. After turning Dracula into a frog at the age of 5, she managed to escape from Hell, and took The Black Wand of Hell with her! She was adopted by another Guardian of the Holy Grail, and stayed with him untill he was murdered by me. His name was Merlin. She was a teenager when he died, but immediately took over the role as the next Guardian. And did much better than any Guardian before her."

"Wow, that's...intimidating. I haven't had that much excitement in my life. I mean, I haven't exactly had a boring life but...wow. And how exactly are we supposed to fight someone who has the Black Wand of Hell? To me that sounds pretty hard to defeat. Of course, I suppose you all are a bit more experienced in this sort of supernatural business but..."
*He trailed off and shrugged.*
"This whole war is a lot bigger than anything I've ever done."

*Loke laughed.*
"Do not fear The Black Wand of Hell, my friends. The child is too mild to want to use it. It's evil powers frightens her! She prefers to use her other wand, The Golden Wand of Heaven! Count Dracula might perhaps remember his last encounter with it?"
*He got a serious expression on his face.*
"Do not underestimate the powers of this child. She is extremely dangerous. Everyone who has tried to get to the Holy Grail has been systematically been destroyed. If any of you should meet her, report directly to me, and I will deal with the child myself!"

"Great, we're dealing with some dangerous child," *Edward muttered.* "Well at least she won't use the Black Wand of Hell. That other one sounds much less likely to kill us."

"The Golden Wand of Heaven brings hope when hope is lost, and light into the darkest night. If my army of Devils gets attacked by this wand, it can be fatal to them. And also without the wands, the child will be dangerous to us. That is why I am warning you: If and When you meet her, leave it to me to deal with her. My black magic skills can kill her immediately, once she has been captured!"

"Oh, bugger. She's sounding more dangerous by the minute. Yeah, if I see her I'll definitely report her to you. Her being dead would be a good thing. Anything else she can do that we should know about?"

"What is that little Guardian NOT able to do?" *Loke replied, his face darkened by the memories of all the trouble she had put him through.*
"Her looks have changed since you met her. Now she is a beautiful little virgin who can be anything between 11 and 18 years. Her beauty, kindness and delicate behavior, and her beautiful soprano voice attracts protectors like flies. It seems like all men that meets her fall in LOVE with her. And protects her."

"So, if we can get these protectors out of the way we'll have a better chance of getting her to you? That doesn't sound too hard. Lovesick puppies of men aren't really very hard to dispatch. This should be easier than I thought. Of course, there is that whole matter of her being so dangerous... Never mind, it's still not easy."
*A smile flickered across his face.*
"You say she now appears as a beautiful young virgin? Well, if I find her when she's not too young looking..."
*He grinned widely now.*
"I think that might dull her powers. Or at least her powers of judgement."
