Termina's Twilit Troubles

Ester felt red hot, even considering his idea. Part of her wanted it, yes, but the other part knew her father would never allow it. After all, Chance had been his enemy at some point. He also seemed at least partially against the two being together, perhaps for that same reason. 

Chance looked very disheartened for a moment, but then looked a bit surprised. Then, out of nowhere, he ran off. "W-wait! Chance!" she called after him, trying to match his speed but only managing to trip over her own paws and skid a few feet. "Ow" she muttered, getting back up and looking around. He was nowhere to be seen, but that wouldn't stop her. "Hmm... if I'm an animal, I can use my sense of smell...." With that thought in her mind, the cougar lifted her nose and took a big wiff. A familiar scent came to her and she sped off to find its source.

Chance was back to his smallish form with his back turned to her as she slowly approached. She could hear muttering from him, but she wasn't close enough to hear it just yet. "Chance? What is it?"

Since Chance was now in his Twilit form, he didn't understand whatever it was that Ester said. He did, however hear snarling and growling behind him.

"SHIT!" he shouted, unable to stop himself from masturbating. "When I said 'alone' I didn't mean for you to walk up to me while I tried not to rape you! With you here it makes things incredibly difficult!" And with that he warped through a solid door so she wouldn't be able to follow, then finished up. Warping back out with his twilit magic, he put the Keaton mask on again and started to explain.

"There's a reason I don't wear this mask a lot. A Keaton's urges are not easily suppressed even after I take the mask off. I mean, honestly, I probably would have raped you if I didn't run away." Looking down in shame, he fully expected her to at the very least, scratch him or bite him. After all, she didn't know what had gone through his head while he *ahem* emptied himself of stress.

Ester's eyes grew huge when she realized where his hands were at. She instantly ducked her head down and covered her eyes with her paws, shocked at what Chance had said. He was going to RAPE her?! 'Where the hell did that come from?!' she thought, lifting a paw to see he had disappeared. She sat up, a bit wary now that he had suggested doing such a horrible thing to her. Even after she had said she would think about it!

When he reappeared, Ester was deep in thought. Maybe her father was right. Maybe being with him was a bad idea... She lifted her head slightly when she heard him speak. Her ears tilted down, she glanced away a little, "Chance..." Her eyes then met his, shining with a kind, understanding light, "I'm just glad it was more of a side affect from the mask than your true nature. I wouldn't be able to love you if that was the case"

_____________________________________________________

Chance was completely taken by surprise when her eyes met his. he had fully expected to at least get yelled at for his actions. "I... um... uhh... yeah. Thanks for understanding." he finally managed to say. Looking around, he noticed something. "Umm... Where's your dad?"

As if in response to his question, The large grey Wolf bounded around the corner as soon as the words escaped his lips. "Get away from her you son of a creepy mask loving heathen in Keaton fur!" It howled. Chance took a step to the side and Wolf Link kept his forward momentum and slammed into the adjacent wall.

"Relax, hero! I didn't do anything to Ester!" Chance said as Wolf Link got up and shook himself. "Now where do we go from here? the only way to reverse the Twilight in Termina is unfortunately to awaken the Four Demons that were imprisoned in the four regions of Termina outside of clock town, but they don't always cooperate with me so... well... we may need the fierce deity mask to get our request across. You still have it, right, Link?"

A very terrified look overtook Link's features as he remembered the first time he required the Four Demon's help. They only helped out of spite for Majora imprisoning them in the first place. Add to that the effects the Fierce Deity had on him and it was a living nightmare to reawaken them and wear that foul mask again... his legs gave out and he began twitching like crazy.

Chance looked at him nervously. "Ummm... Link...Link, are you ok? Link???"

Ester smiled, giving his cheek a little lick. She paused for a moment, realizing what she did. She could only assume that was a feline sign of affection, but he tasted weird! Maybe it was just the fur... 

Out of nowhere, her fur puffed up when she heard her father shout. She yelped when he hit the wall and she ran over to him, "Are you ok?!" Thankfully though, he seemed fine, at least for the moment.The cat looked over at Chance, "Four demons? Wait, isn't the fierce deity mask the one tha-" Before she could finish, Link was sprawled out on the ground, causing his daughter to shriek. "Dad?!? What's wrong?? Get up! Please!" She looked positively terrified for her dear father.

Chance wasn't quite as panicked as Ester, but he did need the old hero to be alive for the adventure, so he feigned concern and handed Link a bottle of something red. "Drink this. It'll help the twitching. mental stability... ehhhhh, not so much."

Wolf Link lapped up the potion while cursing any number of things from his own luck to tingle's maps to quote: "Majora's non-existent asshole" end quote.

Shaking himself about a bit, Wolf Link stood on all fours as tall as he could manage. "While I am concerned about Termina's well being, I think it would be best if I leave you two to do the questing on your own. Ester," He paused for a moment and shook himself. "Take this, but DO NOT wear it unless it's completely necessary."

Running off in the direction of his house, Wolf Link Dropped a mask that was somehow emanating a dark blue aura, and looked strangely as if it was alive. Chance approached the mask and picked it up as though it was very valuable. Upon contact with Chance, the mask began actually speaking. the strange thing was, it wasn't moving any part of itself. "I see you've changed much since our last encounter... Collector."

"No one asked you!" Chance spat, pocketing the mask with that dark magic he used to store everything. "I can still talk from here you know" the disembodied voice of the mask said. "Well, THAT'S going to be annoying as hell! Hey Ester, it's up to you where we go first. Well actually, Ikana isn't an option, but other than that, where to?"

Ester watched worriedly as Chance pulled out a bottle of red liquid. She gulped, hoping it had the same properties as the bottle of stuff she had gotten from the Deku Queen. Apparently it did. Ester gave a nod to his plan, though she could only imagine why he decided to let them continue the journey alone.

She couldn't help but stare at the mask when it was produced. Some invisible force seemed to be pulling her consciousness towards it, but that instantly lessened to a tolerable level when it was pocketed. Blinking, trying to recall what was going on around her, she turned to Chance. "Well, how about we start in the Deku Forest? At least we know the secret way there now." With a little smile, she turned and headed towards the two houses where in between them lay the path
