I stand before the remaining mask near tears. This is the one she's been throwing in my face since her little game started. Surely, I'm about to die. I put it back on the wall and reach for the two halves of the crystal one. The same force makes them fuse together when I put them close. Now I have two masks again. Fantum becomes enraged. She's doing her best to hide it but I've come to know her body language. I draw the crystal mask closer to my face but intuition cries out to me so I pick the wooden one up too. Is this the appropriate time to play eeny meeny miny mo, I ask myself? Then I plunge into a decision before my mind switches out.
That's how the wooden one gets to comfort me like Ebony's haunting voice, strolling down our castle hallways. Now I imagine her loving arms caress me, and with each embrace I feel stronger and stronger, like someone readying herself for a war.
