*After dinner, Malefica went outside to take care of her roses. She had no idea how beautiful she looked when the sun was shining at her golden curls and her skin got a warmer tone. She didn't notice that someone had followed her into the garden.*

*A branch rustled gently behind her as Icarus followed her into the garden. He still looked his normal self, stern but...there was something else. Perhaps some sort of relief.*
"Do you...think it went well?"

*Malefica looked up at him, beaming with joy by the sight of him.*
"It went wonderful. I was so proud of you both during the dinner."
*She came over to him and looked shyly up at him, blushing, just like she had done when they first met, and she fell in love with him.*
"And you look so handsome in that suit...." *she whispered to him.*

*He glanced down at his attire, smoothing his hands over it idly. To him, it was the same as what he always wore. He glanced to her and then to the flowers about them, clearing his throat.*
"And you think...you think there will be unavoidable violence?"

*Malefica looked up at him, anxious. She had a bad feeling.*
"I have a bad feeling, Icarus. And it makes me sad. So much violence, so much loss of lives... And I see some devil-like creatures in there as well."
*She came closer to him.*
"I am frightened, Icarus. Could you please hold me for a moment?"

*Icarus frowned at the thought of more war. Hadn't they just finished this? He sighed at her request, opening his arms to her a bit uncomfortably.*
"Um...sure."

*Malefica snuggled into his arms, feeling safe as always.*
"I heard that sigh, Icarus. Was that because of the war or because of me? I don't want you to feel chained to me, so if you don't love me anymore, I understand."

That? Again?
*Icarus's body tightened but he did not push her away. He licked his lips and spoke slowly.*
"Malefica. You have to move past this. If there is to be more war, I can't constantly be looking behind me to see if you are all right or if you're freaking out. You'll have to learn to deal with it."

*Malefica looked up at him mildly.*
"The war will not go on here. And we will not be in it. But I will be kept as a reserve. If anything else fails. I will go on my own this time, Icarus. I don't want to lose you in a stupid war. I can deal with the hidden threat of Lorien. I grew up in Hell. I know how to fight these creatures. I have seen them before."

*Icarus quirked a brow.*
"What is it? Exactly. There seems to be something that you all know, but are not sharing."

*Malefica sighed and snuggled closer to him, as to seek protection. She whispered in his ear.*
"Have you ever heard about the Devil people? They are a nasty creatures who have roamed the earth since the beginning of time. And also some other dimensions. Their skin is red, their teeth are sharp and their eyes are golden. They can breathe fire, and are heavy enough and strong enough to cause severe damage."
*She looked up at him.*
"Do you still have the Black Wand of Hell?"

*A small scoff escaped the back of Icarus's throat. As if he would misplace something like that.*
"Of course I do. But why would they march on Lorien?"

*Malefica smiled warmly and looked up at him.*
"Forgive me, that was a stupid question. They hate the Elves, you see. They think the Elves are the only ones who can stop them from conquering the world. They don't know about my existence, and since I am the Princess of Hell, they must never find out about me. If they do, they will kill me first. And since I am not allowed to kill anyone, I will be an easy target to them."

That again. She'd really have to get over that someday. But that was for another time.
*Icarus nodded.*
"All right, so you should be staying as far from Lorien as possible."
*He glanced at the house.*
"Probably doesn't do much good to have those people bout here either."

*Malefica looked up at him.*
"Icarus. Those people are my friends. And Leetah made sure nobody followed her here."
*She smiled and kissed him lovingly on the cheek.*
"I almost forgot. I have a surprise gift for you. I hope you like it."
