*She raised a brow*
"Wow, it doesn't even sound like you need an army..."

*Malefica smiled*
"So far I have been able to fight attackers off on my own. But now we are dealing with an army on god-knows-how-many men and creatures. They will be able to work on shifts. And even the Guardian of the Holy Grail can get tired and need rest from time to time. I can tell you the Troll's Army alone will consist of 10 000 trolls. There will be lots of "fun" for everyone."

*Leia furrowed her brow*
"Are they good shots?"

*Malefica closed her eyes and consentrated. Images of trolls flashed through her mind and made her shudder. They were definitely not pleasant-looking. She also read some of Loke's plans when she was at it. Then she opened her eyes again.*
"The trolls... are excellent shots. With bows and arrows. Getting closer, they will use spiked clubs. Their eyesight are best in the night. They are big and strong and lasts longer than mortals. But I can see one weakness that might help us: They can't stand the light of day. The mere sight of the sun will turn them into rocks."

"That'll help. I was lucky when it came to the Stormtrooper army, since most of them had no ability to aim. But still, something could probably be done. Maybe I could get Luke involved- he's my friend, and he's a Jedi Knight."

*Malefica smiled, but she also had other distressing news to her allies.*
"Anyone who are willing to join our forces, can rest assured they will be welcome. Unfortunately I also have other bad news. Loke has managed to get himself an army of devils. 666 devils, to be exact. And he has also received answers that some demons are willing to join him. He doesn't know how many yet, and since I am merely reading his mind and soul, neither do I."

*Leia nodded*
"And we have...ghosts. And a small but heroic group of citizens."
*She considered things*
"Well, if we survive, we'll have something to tell our grandchildren."

*Malefica nodded, she was serious now.*
"We will do our best to survive, my friends. The enemy may be strong and tough, but we will fight them back. The hopes and dreams of the world are resting on our shoulders, the destiny of the world lies in our hands. Should we fail, the world will go under. Evil forces will rule the world, and darkness, hunger and cold will surround the world. People and animals will be taken away in chains, used as slaves. Children will be separated from their parents, husbands from their wives. And the Holy Grail.... will be lost. Forever."

*Leia smiled sardonically*
"Something like that happened on my home planet. If I can help free this one, perhaps I will one day succeed in bringing an end to the Evil Empire which dominates my homeland."

*Malefica smiled as well.*
"If we ever succeed in freing this planet, as I hope we will, I will be more than willing to help you out with fighting the Evil Empire in your homeland. I can follow you back, or give you any magic item that could be useful in your battle."

"I'd appreciate tha. But one thing at a time, I suppose. Who else do we have on our side?"

*Malefica thought for a moment. She was still surprised that so many people wanted to join her. It touched her that they trusted her so much.*
"My husband Icarus, an enigma even to me. I sense he is powerful. Don Juan Demarcos, our brave knight in shining armor. A demon named Sebastian, he is out on the roof. Andraste, Demiselle and Ashur. I don't know them very well. My cousin Hades, lord of the Underworld. Doctor Byron Orpheus, necromancer. Abraxas, my talking pet raven. I suspect my old friend Cry-Baby Walker will want to join, but this is not yet confirmed or denied. Then there is you, princess, and myself. I should add that to our disposition we also have The Golden Wand of Heaven and The Black Wand of Hell. Even though the black wand is frightening to me, I will use it if necessary."

*Don Juan was saddened by news of Malefica's engagement. Still, he did not take it personally- she needed a man who could always be there to give her all his attention.
"My lady, I too must offer my congratulations."

*Malefica was sad to bring him such sad news, but somehow she knew he would understand. He was a man with a warm heart, and she was lucky to keep his friendship.*
"Thank you, Juan. I am sorry I had to break the news to you this way. But a Guardian of the Holy Grail can not be unfaithful to her word. I hope you still will accept my friendship, just as much as I hope to receive yours."

"I understand completely."
*He smiled*
"Do not fear- my loyalty is still with your cause."
