Ester and Chance got through much of the castle with ease, a few monsters here and there, but nothing too eventful. Well, other than the Redead and Gibdos dancing as soon as they saw Ester. Was that some kind of greeting to them, or something? She ignored them and continued on.<br/><br/>While Chance was pondering how he could cheer her up, Ester was more preoccupied with just trying to get through this maze of doorways and puzzles. Yes, the thoughts kept swarming her, but she made sure to push them away as she stepped into a new room, gasping when the door sealed behind them. Too surprised at the door closing, she didn't even notice the fireball approaching until it was nearly upon her. Her eyes wide, she turned her head to see the blinding orb of fiery pain coming straight at her. In an instant Chance was in front of her, and quickly distinguished it before it did any damage.<br/><br/>It took her a few seconds to get moving, but when she did, she nodded briskly, speeding towards the faded beings, her hair already sharp and taunt. With one slash, the fake Wizrobe dissipated, leaving just one more for her. She slashed and it let out a howl, making her grin like a cat. She kept slashing until it turned into a poof of smoke, and she could hear the grinding of the doorways clearing. "Let's go. I'm sure we're almost out of here" she said simply, floating towards the open door.
