Chance let her smother him. Seeing her unsettled like this made him unhappy for a moment. Then he recalled the things that had transpired in his mind while he had been unconscious. "Ester, come on, don't worry about it." He hugged her close then, knowing that he needed to chose his next words carefully. By this time Shadow Ester was back in the room again. The man and woman who lived there had followed her as well.<br/><br/>"Well I never thought I'd see the day a Twili found it's way to Ikana!" the woman said excitedly. Her boyfriend, however, having caught a look chance was giving them, seemed to be trying to get her to go back upstairs. Eventually she did, and the three were back in the basement alone. Chance released Ester as he took a deep breath.<span style="font-style: italic">~Time to spill the beans~</span>, he thought to himself decisively.<br/><br/>"Girls... A.... A long time ago, I made a deal with the Fierce Deity. it actually had a body then. and it said as long as I kept it's realm safe, it would enter the mask it is now contained in. All it had as far as conditions, was that I be... immortal. When I got my memories of my misdeeds in the name of the Deity I controlled, He relinquished that deal."<br/><br/>Chance paused to let it sink in. Apparently it didn't. "I gave up my immortality to be with you, Ester."<br/><br/>A tear fell from his eye. Shadow Ester suddenly looked panicked. "YOU WHAT!!!" she screamed. "What am I supposed to do when both of you are DEAD!?!?!"<br/><br/>Chance looked at her with no admiration and no love. "Well considering you only show up as the form of the current hero, I don't see how our relationship is healthy, really."<br/><br/>Shadow Ester looked at Chance with hatred. "So. What. Are. You. Saying?" she said through gritted teeth as she reached for her blade.<br/><br/>He shrugged. "We're through."<br/><br/>Shadow Ester let out a battle cry as she tried to slice the Twilit form of her ex-crush.
