*Malefica blushed. For a moment she had believed she had met her only friend from the childhood she had tried so hard to forget. She had been severely punished when she helped him get away. For many days and nights she had floated between life and death, before her father pitied her and saved her life. She rolled up the sleeve on her dress. The scars were still visible.*
"Forgive me," *she said quietly.* "I have mistaken you for another."

*Erik looked silently at her scars. He had his own; but he had to admit she knew what she spoke of.*
"Yes," *he said.* "But I believe... we understand each other somewhat."

*Malefica looked him in the eyes. His destiny was just like her own. Her face was serious now.*
"Yes," *she responded.* "I think we do.*
*After a moment of hesitation she reached her hand against him.*
"Friends?"

*Erik's lips tightened for a moment.*
"Friend is not a word Erik uses lightly," *he said.* "Perhaps allies would suit?"

*Malefica understood. They were equal. But since she was a part goddess, she somehow had kept her ability to love all living creatures. He did not have that protection.*
"Then we say allies." *she answered.*

*Erik nodded. Now that business was concluded, he was eager to see its results.*
"Erik will speak to the managers. Now, if you will excuse him..."

*Malefica nodded with the worthiness of a princess. After all, she was one.*
"Of course," *she replied.* "As for my part of the deal: I live in the dormitories in this Operahouse. My name is Malefica. You will find me in my room whenever you need me."
*She bowed polite and left the cellar, returning to her room.*

The little creature's breath smelled like carrion and peppermint tea.

***NEW DAY***
*It made a fresh pot of peppermint tea and hummed a dark little tune--a tune about cracked jaws and bleeding gums.*
