*Malefica smiled warmly and looked up at him.*
"I am glad you did, Icarus. It feels good to see you again. I hope we can find out of the limitation of this new situation together. As I said: Eden is safe. She is in a place Lilith does not know of, neither has she any power there. And Gawain..."
*She looked lovingly over to the sleeping child.*
"I watch that baby every day and night, never leaving his side. I carry him with me where ever I go. And I will guard him with my life. The only way Lilith can get to him, is over my dead body."

*Icarus paused.*
"There...is a place that your mother is vulnerable? And you didn't tell me?"
*He hurried towards the stairs, ready to mount them to collect the things for their journey.*
"You're going. You and Gawain. Now."

*Malefica looked up at him.*
"Icarus. There are TWO places where my mother is vulnerable. I don't want to place our children in the same place. If she finds them both at once, she will take them away from us. I thought of placing Gawain in the other place."
*She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.*
"But as for me... I can't leave you, Icarus."

*Icarus shook his head.*
"Gawain and the legacy of the Grail is more important than what we have together. More important than me. Take me to Eden, then take Gawain to the other place. I will care for her until we can be together again."

*Malefica looked at Icarus again. She got that expression in her eyes she always did when she consentrated really hard about something, then she sent out her thoughts to him, hoping he could hear her.*
Eden is in safety in Lorien. Figwit is protecting her. As for Gawain, I will bring him to my fortress. Merlin has arrived. He, and the Holy Grail itself will watch over him.

*He stumbled back slightly, clutching his head. Her thoughts were so...loud. He frowned.*
"Then I will find her. You take Gawain."
*He held out the bag he had been packing.*
"I will see you again when I can."

*Malefica smiled sadly and took the bag. Then she looked up at him again.*
"I hope it won't take long until we meet again, my love."
*Again the sadness of not being able to touch him was visible in her eyes.*

*He caught her by the wrist, even though it pained him to do so.*
"You know that I am only doing this for the safety of our children and the Grail."
*It could have been a question, but sounded more decisive.*

*Malefica looked up at him and smiled sadly. She knew how much it pained him to touch her, still she had longed for his touch. Her heart was hammering in her chest, now that he was so close, and she blushed and lowered her eyes.*
"I know, Icarus. It's just me being silly."
In spite of all the threats my superiors gave me the last time we met, I refused to give you up. I love you more than you will ever know... They turned you into a demon. The punishment that awaits me.... will be much, much worse. But I am not afraid. Our love is worth the price I have to pay in the end.

*He released her, smoke still rising from his hand.*
"You should go. Now. Don't stop until you get there."

*Malefica looked up at him again, tears welling in her eyes. Then she found a leather pouch in her pocket and placed it in his hand.*
"It is a strong healing salve, to use on your wounds. It is very difficult to make, so this pouch is all I have left of it. I want you to keep it, in case you get hurt."
*Her eyes seeked his. If she was not allowed to show him her love physically, she could at least send him the love she felt for him from the deep of her heart. The gaze she sent him was filled with all her love.*
"Be safe, Icarus. I don't want anything to happen to you."

*Icarus laughed hollowly.*
"What is she going to do to me? I'm a f*cking demon."
*He gave a twisted smile, taking the salve and started to pack another bag.*

*Malefica looked at him with a sad smile.*
"You know, Icarus.... that's exactly why this is worrying me. My mother is the Queen of Hell, mother of all devils, demons and other creatures living hidden from the human world. Believe me, she can do a lot to you. I am glad you're leaving to see Eden safe. You are in danger now, my love."

"And I wasn't before?"
*He arched a brow, looking back at her before he finished with his back, slinging it over his shoulder.*
"I'll be careful. Now you. Go."

*Malefica gave him one last look before she carefully picked up the bag with Gawain. Then she disappeared into a cloud of green smoke.*
