To say that Chance was shocked doesn't quite do the situation justice. Although he certainly was surprised, there was something else covering his facial expression. Something that was also betrayed at his frontal midsection area's sudden hardness. Shadow Ester frowned when she saw what had transpired once Ester put the mask on. "Damnit! Why didn't it do that to me when<span style="font-weight: bold">I</span>tried to put it on? It's not fair!" She shouted.<br/><br/>Chance quirked an eyebrow at this new information. "So you're saying you attempted to wear it and it didn't work?" he asked. "Interesting. It's probably because Shadow magic and Twilit magic are too similar." He was still looking rather lustfully at the now Twilit Ester as he used his hair to climb the cliff while Shadow Ester used the hook shot. Looking down the cliff at the newly transformed Ester, he was sure this is exactly what she felt in her loins when she was a cougar. he was really having a hard time not staring at her beautiful, perfectly twili-proportionate curves...<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Stop staring at her you idiot!~</span>He heard a small voice in the back of his head say as he attempted to look away for the fourth time. then he fell over as though fainting from being in such close proximity to the Twilit Mask. Once again, memories started flooding his vision as he slowly stood up again. Memories he<span style="font-style: italic">definitely</span>didn't want. Deals he had made, people he had ripped of without a moments thought, pacts he was forced into by a man he could only assume was the fierce deity's previous wearer...<br/><br/>He couldn't take it. Even as he saw the purple robed man and both Esters running to him, he shrieked in agony and pain as all his misdeeds finally caught up to him. his vision blurred as the weight of his wrongs piled up, quite literally making him lose consciousness.<br/><br/>~Inner Thoughts~<br/><br/>Chance was running, and what's worse, he thought he was still conscious.<br/><br/>"Chance!" A voice called out softly.<br/><br/>"No! Leave me alone! Go away!" He shrieked.<br/><br/>"Chance!" It was louder this time, but didn't seem to be closer or farther away.<br/><br/>"I said Go away you FREAK! I am not that man anymore!" he was shouting so loudly he was sure someone would come to his rescue! someone! anyone???<br/><br/>"COLLECTOR, YOU FORGET YOUR PLACE!" it shouted this time in the distinct voice of the Fierce Deity.<br/><br/>"You know what? Fuck my 'place' you over-important sealed Deity! If you care so much that it is done, WHY DON'T YOU DO IT???" he all but screamed into his thoughts.<br/><br/>"...<br/>.......<br/>.......... Do you truly wish to break our deal?" The Fierce Deity finally asked.<br/><br/>"...<br/>........Yes. I love her too much to let some demonic pact get in the way."<br/><br/>"...<br/>......'Bout Damn time! AWAKEN!"<br/><br/>~Back in Ikana Canyon~<br/><br/>Shadow Ester watched over the bed as Chance had been brought to the young woman's house whom had been asking the man to come home.<br/><br/>"Ugh! my head!" Chance moaned as he reached up to his forehead and sat up in the small bed he was in.<br/><br/>Shadow Ester looked up at him, then ran upstairs out of the basement to the others. "Ester! He's awake!" she shouted.
