*Gawain tried to focus, urging the wand to her again.*
"I feel a power...one that no one man should possess."

*Malefica smiled and looked warmly at him.*
"Excellent my son. The Golden Wand of Heaven has chosen you as its master. Only you are pure enough and worthy enough to carry it. Lilith has the Black Wand of Hell, and will be capable of destroying the world with it. But this Wand is powerful enough to stop the destructions the Black Wand can cause. Because this Wand gets its power from all good spirits in past, present and future. Both godly and others."

*Gawain stumbled back, but kept hold of it. He couldn't take his eyes off it, held by its wonder.*
"It...it is too much. I am only a man."

*Malefica smiled and embraced him warmly. Her voice was warm and mild when she spoke to him, just as she had spoken to him when he was a baby.*
"No, Gawain. You are not only a man. You are much more than that. You are The Guardian of The Holy Grail. The chosen one. The one the wands have been waiting for for hundreds of years. Keep the wand, and the purity in your heart, but do not forget the power of love. Because this Wand gets its strenght out of the love and mercy we show to others. Never use this Wand out of hatred or anger."

*Gawain was silent, but brought the wand to his heart with a nod.*

*Malefica smiled warmly and hugged him.*
"I am so proud. There is nobody in the world I would rather give this Wand to than you."

*Gawain nodded slowly.*
"I will do all I can to protect it. And to serve the source of its goodness."
*Suddenly there was a flash of light and the wand was gone, but Gawain seemed to glow faintly and he stared between his empty hands and his chest.*

*Malefica looked surprised at her son.*
"Wow, what happened?"
*She had to ask. She had been totally unprepared for this."

"I...I don't know." *Gawain answered honestly, tears in his eyes.*
"I feel...it. In me."

*Malefica's eyes were also filled with tears. She took her son into her arms and hugged him, almost protectively. The same way she had protected him as a child.*
"What do you feel inside of you, child?"
*She whispered gently.*

***GRUMBLES...THIS IS GAWAIN, OBVIOUSLY****
*Gawain blinked, his brow smooth in peace.*
"Light." *Was the only way he could describe it.*

*Malefica smiled and looked lovingly at him.*
"Then you are the best guardian possible for this task."
*She became serious again.*
"I wonder what Nightfall will say when she sees you like this."

*Gawain frowned for a moment, but found his ease again.*
"I will do what I can to serve my best in all my duties. Even as they become more numerous."

*Malefica smiled brightly and ruffled his hair.*
"You will not be alone, my son. We will all be here by your side, trying to help you as best we can. Nightfall too."

*Gawain's eyes darkened.*
"But how is it that you would speak for Nightfall? Hers is a different destiny and she should not have to alter it for my ease."
