Ester nearly jumped and fell in head first when Chance shouted. At once, she withdrew her foot, looking to the lily pads. Easily, she donned her appropriate mask and hopped across to the temple entrance, where a chilling message greeted the two of them. "Who's back?" Ester asked aloud, taking off the mask to show a curious look.<br/><br/>Her question was soon answered by... her own voice?? But wait, no, it was more haunting and ghostly than her voice. At once, though she felt chills go down her spine just by hearing that voice, she whipped around, sword out and ready, but nothing could have prepared her for what she saw next. It was as if her shadow had taken a life of its own, now standing before her with its own sword drawn, ready for a fight.<br/><br/>As it lunged at her, she yelped, blocking rather clumsily with her sword, only to have it slide off the other blade's edge. Ester took on a more steady stance, now ready to fight as she lunged at the shadowy being, swinging hard at its left leg to render it immobile.<br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #4000BF">"Not gonna happen." Shadow Ester quipped using a Hylian sheild to block the blade ... Hylian? that was the only thing different from the two besides their color scheme. Chance suddenly got an idea and donned the Terminan mask, drawing his sword and sheild as well as Shadow Ester lunged at and parried, preoccupied with the real Ester. "Hey Shadow B**ch! behind you!" He shouted. Finally, someone he could kill without making Ester question his motives or sanity. This was gonna be fun!<br/><br/> Shadow Ester turned just in time to get her sheild arm sliced near the elbow. crying out in pain despite being a copy of Ester, and a Shadow at that, She turned to face Chance. "Who the hell are you?"<br/><br/>Chance smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know!" And attempted to slice her again. this time however, Shadow Ester dodged the attack and suprisingly yelled "Why the Hell am I <span style="font-style: italic">turned on</span> right now?" as she turned to face Ester. Chance chose to let the two discuss this aspect rather than attack or make a witty remark.</span><br/><br/>Ester felt the harsh vibration of her sword hitting the shield with odd markings on it, very unlike the one she now took from her back. Hearing her lover's voice, she looked just in time to see a splatter of dark colored blood run down Chance's sword and the creature howled in pain.<br/><br/>She couldn't help but smirk; without Chance, she would *ahem* have no chance against someone who clearly had her perfectly matched. If she were like Ester's shadow, they would both know their weaknesses and strengths, therefore fighting until they either both got tired, or both gave each other a serious injury resulting in death. But with Chance here, the true Ester had the advantage.<br/><br/>Though the mention of being turned on by the Twili made Ester turn red with anger. "He's my<span style="font-style: italic">boyfriend</span>, you whore, and you certainly aren't laying a blackened finger on him!" At once, with a battle cry, she slashed at the creature's back, leaving one long, bloody mark from one shoulder to the opposite hip.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4000BF">"I... I clearly need to think this through more." Shadow Ester said after crying out in pain. Turning to chance she... smiled with no hint of malice in her voice? "You win. Here. take your damn mask. Later Gorgeous!" She said, winking at chance as she vanished into the shadows.<br/><br/>Chance could only stare in shock at the spot where she had been standing only moments before. the fact that she had decided to surrender because of him... it didn't make sense!</span><br/><br/>Ester stared in shock, her cheeks still red. "YEAH! YOU BETTER RUN! BITCH!" she roared, shaking her fist at the heavens. Letting out a loud sigh, she arched a brow at Chance. "I seriously hope you aren't 'aroused' by that creature.... So where's that mask she was talking about?"
