<span style="color: #00FFFF">Mikau walked over to his daughter. After he finally had his big secret out in the open, he figured he should at least help her know what was going to happen.<br/><br/>"Listen, Ester... there's something you should know. Both of us, that is, Mikau and I came to an understanding and let our minds completely merge when I don the Mask I got from him. You and Lulu don't have to know everything about each other when you put the mask on. Just what you both agree on sharing with eachother. I'm sorry I never told you about Mikau. I was... scared you'd call me a freak and run away from home." He looked at the ground. "Will you do this for the band. and your sister?"<br/><br/>Tasha smiled "I wouldn't mind learning how to sing from you, sis!" she said cheerfully. The other members of the band started saying things like "This could work rather well." and "I say we let her keep the mask."<br/><br/>Chance was trying not to get out of control again. he kept reminding himself that murder was strictly forbidden, and that it was Ester's choice.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Ester looked down at her hands, trying to think it over. "Yeah... I know Dad. I.... <span style="font-style: italic">probably</span> wouldn't have ran away..." She gave a little smirk and a shrug. "I'll do it" Everyone was cheering as she took the mask, everyone except Chance. Ester glanced over at him, trying to give him a reassuring smile, but he still didn't seem happy about it.<br/><br/>Gently, she put the mask on her face, quickly feeling the pain that she remembered when she had first put on the Deku mask. Her skin turned a pale blue and her clothes seemed to meld with her body. Her head became bulbous at the top, like a fat triangle with the flat edge as her forehead. Long fins grew from her forearms and a dark blue dress formed from out of nowhere on her body, as well as fins on her calves and feet.<br/><br/>Everything just turned black in her field of vision, all except Lulu. Ester walked up to her slowly, "So... you're my mother. I just wish...." She let out a sigh, "I just wish we could have spent time... with each other. Not like this."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FFFF">Lulu simply hugged her. "You know you would have been miserable in the Hall with us. being the only Terminian there... It was hard on me too." she looked into her daughter's eyes lovingly. "Don't tell your father, but I knew from the minute he played a riff that he wasn't fully Mikau." she laughed. "Now what is it you need to know, and what would you rather I keep to myself? I assume you don't want to know <span style="font-style: italic">everything</span>?"</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Ester looked surprised when she was hugged. It felt oddly warm, but she hugged her mother back, feeling like crying again. Ester smiled at her remark about Link. "Well... I don't know! I never thought I would get the chance, I guess." At a certain thought, her cheeks turned pink, "Oh, how about how you and Mikau, the [i]real[i/] Mikau, met? And... what life was like up until... well... a few minutes ago...But please, leave out the sordid details about you and Dad... doing things..."</span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FFFF">"Well at least I know you aren't interested in private matters!" Lulu joked "Just so you know, if you want to talk again, feel free to sing the notes in the song you played to let me rest in peace. Now then, let's get started."<br/><br/>Suddenly Ester began hearing voices other than both of theirs as visions of what happened flashed before her eyes. there were memories of Mikau and her swimming through coral caverns. and when Mikau proposed, and her and the Band performing. there were a few arguments, but nothing serious.<br/><br/>Then there was a memory lapse, and Lulu was holding four newborns and screaming for help as a baby girl seemed to be drowning. Mikau played the song of healing and she was brought to the surface in an air bubble soon after. Also, as a side effect of bearing a Terminan child, Lulu became ill, and Mikau did not return except to visit occasionally. When the memories were done, Ester heard more screaming, but this time it was Chance yelling profanities at her father.<br/><br/>"Let me at him! He will perish a thousand times if she doesn't start moving in the next THREE SECONDS!" Chance screamed, being restrained by the Zoras in the room.</span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Ester watched the memories in awe. It was so much better than just being told stories! Slowly, everything went from black to fuzzy, and then from fuzzy to normal. She blinked, looking around. "Wait, what's happening?? Chance!" She ran up to him, well, swam up to him, reaching out.</span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FFFF">"WHAT?!?!?" Chance shouted, not realizing at first that it was Ester. then he calmed down. "This no murder stuff is harder than I thought. Are you ok?"<br/><br/>The band members looked at each other "Are you two... together or something?" Japas asked. Chance saw Link give him a disaproving look, so he decided to let Ester choose what to say about it.</span>
