*The first morning after their arrival, Malefica was carrying Gawain through the fortress, exploring every room, every item the fortress held. She was talking gently to him.*
"This fortress, Gawain, hold the secrets of the Holy Grail. And the better you learn to know your surroundings, the better you will be capable of defending the Grail, when you grow older."

*Gawain's eyes sparkled wide, taking in everything around him. He was surprisingly quiet, but active, bouncing excitedly.*

*Malefica showed him the hidden rooms in the fortress as well. And how to enter them. She knew very well that he was young, but she had to fight Lilith soon. And if she did, she could be killed. She hugged her baby gently, feeling pain by the thought of leaving him. And Eden...*
"I wish I didn't have to bring so much pain over my family, Gawain..."
*She whispered with tears in her eyes.*

*He reached up, patting her face clumsily with his tiny hands. He gurgled softly before grabbing at a lock of her hair.*

*Malefica couldn't help but laught. It was as if the baby understood something far beyond his tender years. She embraced him and kissed his red cheeks.*
"Momma is just sentimental, sweetie. Why should I complain when I have you? You are momma's little angel, aren't you?"
*She carried him into the bedroom and sat down in a big chair.*
"And now, it is time for your meal again." *She unlaced her dress and put him to her chest.*

*She said mildly.*

*Gawain smacked his tiny lips as he finished and let out a half-yawn, half-gurgle, blowing a spit bubble.*

*Malefica lifted up her son, and stroke him gently over his tiny back, to burp him.*
"After this burp, sweetie, it is time for your nap."

*After a few pats, he gave up a wet burp. Then he rubbed his face against her shoulder.*

*Malefica cradled him in her arms, holding him protectively to her heart. She sang him a lullaby, and her beautiful singing voice filled the room. She looked down at her baby, her heart and her eyes filled with love.*

*Malefica held him protectively in her arms and leaned back in the chair. Soon she drifted off to sleep as well. Even in her sleep she held on to her child.*
