*Malefica looked up at him with a glimpse of surprise in her beautiful doe-eyes. She didn't understand the sudden change in his moods, neither did she understand why his grip around her arm was so firm. As far as she knew, she hadn't done anything wrong.* "Of course we can talk," *she said in a calm voice.* "But I suggest you let go of my arm, or someone may notice and believe I am in trouble. Perhaps even my cousin Hades." *With a gesture with her free arm, she showed him into one of the bedrooms.* "We can talk in here." If they do, I'll...*Icarus paused a moment, but released her wrist, tightening his lips in frustration. He followed her into one of the bedrooms and shut the door behind him.* "Forgive me, I...I am unaccustomed to having my private business discussed in front of others. It makes me...uncomfortable." *He stared at her uniform, the way that it clung to her.* "And you know how I burn for you..." *He slipped his hands over her hips, pulling her against him.* "You can't expect me to not want you to myself."

*Malefica moaned and pressed her body to his, kissing him hotly.*
"I hoped you would say that, my love." *she whispered.* "I dressed like this for you. Do you like it?"

*The tendons in Icarus's neck tightened, even as he pulled her closer.*
"I like it. For me. But...I am not the only one that is seeing you in it. And it...perplexes me."

*Malefica pressed herself closer to him, caressing his neck and shoulders under the fabric of his shirt.*
"This outfit is only meant for you. For all others I'll wear a proper dress. I have a lot of outfits only meant for you...." *She whispered as she kissed his neck.*

*One hand slipped over her firm backside as the other buried in the soft locks of her hair as Icarus claimed her mouth hotly in a kiss. He needed her...here like this. He was consumed in need for her. His body trembled and he suddenly pushed her away, holding her at arms' length.*
"I can't. We can't. Shouldn't. Not until this is done."
*His eyes softened.*
"You know that."

*She looked up at him with warmth in her eyes as well.*
"I know that, my love. But still I can't help myself for wanting you, needing you, loving you. I hope you get used to that, because I can't hide my feelings for you. You are the only man I ever wanted."
*Her eyes softened, as she gave him one last kiss.*
"You know that."

Am I?
*A pang of jealous pricked Icarus's heart as he thought of Demarco and Cry-Baby. Could she ever truly love him alone? He pushed the thought aside and forced a smile.*
"I will do my best to remember. But it is hard for me."

You are the only one for me. Surely you must have noticed that by now.... I love you
*Malefica snuggled into his arms again, unwilling to release him just yet. She loved to be in his arms and feel completely safe. She looked up at him and kissed him lovingly.*
"Then I will remind you. Again and again, untill you know for sure." *she whispered and kissed him again.*

*Cry-Baby roared up on his bike, leather jacket and greased back hair not marking him for the Good side at all. Even so, it was to Malefica's fortress he unfailingly rode. He patted War's mount absently, as if it was a sentient steed, and made his way into the castle.
He had to find Malefica. Find out what was going on.*

*Maria walked in looking around somewhat shyly.*
"Heard there was a war to be fought. Good versus Evil? Anyhow, not that I will be any good. but I thought you might need some cannon fodder or something."

*Malefica came into the room where she used to receive her guests. She was dressed in a white silk gown, fit for a princess. She smiled when she saw Cry-Baby and Maria van Helsing.*
"Welcome to my fortress," *she said and offered them chairs and something to eat and drink.* "My name is Malefica. I am the Guardian of the Holy Grail. For decades many people have tried to find the Grail. So far I have been able to protect it. The leader of the other side, Loke is my arch enemy. He has tried for a very long time to find the Grail and steal it. If he succeeds, the world will go under. All living creatures on earth will die or be taken prisoners and used as slaves. The hopes and dreams of the future will die. Because there will be no future. Only cold and dark and hunger. That is what this war is all about. As long as I live, I will keep my word as a Guardian and protect the Grail from impurity. I will protect it, if necessary with my life. But Loke and his Army is an evil lot. Fortunately I don't have to fight this war on my own. All you who are gathered here in this room, have joined forces and are risking your lives to fight with me. Your courage will be greatly rewarded once this battle is over."

*Cry-Baby punched his fist into his other hand. It was worse than he'd thought. He was glad he'd come.
He missed Brandi. But it had to be done.*
"Count me in," *he said, his eyes dark and serious.* "Beatin' that bastard'll be its own reward."

*Malefica smiled. This was so typical for him. Always ready to fight the battle of the good. Brandi had been right about him. He was a good man.*
"I am glad you could come, my friend." *she replied, with a glimpse of humor in her eyes.* "Somehow I guessed that you wouldn't miss the chance to beat the crap out of Loke. Abraxas sends his greetings. He has a wife and three eggs to take care of, and can't leave until the eggs are hatched. But somehow I think we'll manage without him. Talking about family: How is Brandi? I met her once, she is a wonderful girl. You have been very lucky, my friend."

"Not at all", *he said to Haldir.* "It is your sister who has been indulging me in my ramblings. She herself is quite fascinating."

*Leetah blushed and looked up at this tall, dark and handsome man. If only the other Elven maids could have seen her now...*
"I don't know my way around here." *she said shyly.* "Could someone please show me around?"
