Day 8: Posting late but here it is. Maz was so much fun to write!!

Read all parts here:
archiveofourown.org/works/716823...

The three bells that hung on the door rang as she walked into the shop. The air smelled dusty and of old incense, but this shop had the highest reviews online when she had searched Medium near me. So she made her way to Madame Maz’s Metaphysical Shopee. Just as she started to think this was all a bad idea, a short woman with coke-bottle glasses came around the corner.

“Ah, there you are. I’ve been waiting.”

Rey blinked. “Oh, I'm sorry no. I don’t have an ap-”

The woman raised a hand, bangles jingling as she did. “You are Rey, correct?”

“How did y-”

“And you are here,“ she cut Rey off again,” because of the American boy?”

Rey gaped at her before letting out a disbelieving laugh. “I guess you are as good as the reviews said.”

At that, Maz— because who else could this woman be— smiled wide. She wrapped a leathery soft hand over Rey’s.

“Oh child,” she purred as she led her into the back room. “I’m better.”

She guided Rey to a pillow on the floor. As she settled in, Maz lit a fresh stick of incense before settling down across from Rey.

“You hand please.” She didn’t wait for Rey, just reached and turned her hand, palm up in her own.

“The spirit world is complicated. Even those on the other side are limited to their own rules.” She examined her hand, fingers tracing lines there. “A mother has been searching for her son for many years. She knew he was here, in the city. The last address on a letter home.”

Rey’s breath caught. “she wouldn’t have stopped looking for me.”

“Ben…His mother? She’s alive?”

Maz shook her head, closing Rey’s hand in on itself. “No, but…she sought me out here, many years ago. And she has checked in from time to time. But her son was lost to her, even on the other side.”

“But why?” Rey pulled her hand back, trying to understand. “Shouldn’t she be able to see him?”

Maz just gave her a sad smile before picking up a deck of tarot cards and started shuffling them.

She drew the top card, revealing a card with phases of the lunar cycle.

“Always this card.” She shakes her head. “Your soldier is so lost in his own fear and worry he misses what he needs to do. His chains are of his own making.” She pulls another card. A smiling skeleton stares up from the table.

“Thats new, seems he may finally be ready to let go, maybe not cross over yet, but free himself from his haunting ground.”

She flips the last card. Thin gold leif heightened the pointed spokes of light radiating from the sun.

“The Sun, its golden rays representing light and rebirth. I think this one is self explanatory.” She looked up at Rey.

“Has he told you what he wants, child?”

Rey nods. “He wants to go home. That's why I came. I told him I would help but I don't even know how I can.”

Maz hums and then is up, moving around the room, searching though little boxes scattered around. Rey follows here before hearing a little “Aha” of triumph. She returned with a delicate golden locket, the surface etched with tiny stars.

“This belonged to his mother,” Maz said, passing it to Rey. “Right now, Benjamin’s soul is bound to where his bones rest. But it doesn’t have to be like that. He can tether to something else. If he anchors to this, you’ll have to carry him across the ocean yourself. Can you do that?”

Rey nods as she takes the delicate gold chin. She lifts it, putting it around her neck. The locket, though small, presses heavy against her chest.

‘How much do I owe you?”

Maz grins as she leads Rey back to the front door.

“My payment will be a postcard from Pennsylvania, letting me know you brought your solder home.”

If Rey had known the consequences of getting the symbol of the twin hunting gods tattooed on her body as part of her dissertation research, she might have chosen differently.

Then again, maybe not.

Day 7: part 3 of 7

Guys tomorrow is a little lighter I PROMISE!

He was there, standing in the open field as Rey entered the little gate. It was almost like he was waiting for her, his eyes lingering on her as she approached.

“I know.” she said when she reached him. “About you.”

“Cleaver girl,” he said softly. “How did you figure it out?”

“Google search,” she said and then had to swallow a laugh at the look of confusion on his face. “Sorry, um, it's something for research. Kind of like an…Encylopida? But it's like…everything ever written can be pulled up. I found a newspaper article.”

She pulled her phone from her pocket and showed him the article. His face was still, except for his eyes as he read the lines. Then his eyes drift back to her, and…well, she didn’t think ghost could cry.

“I don’t remember how it happened,” he admitted, “We, my squadron, were returning home after a mission in France and then…Then I was here.”

She went to reach for him, put a comforting hand on his shoulder, but it passed right through him.

“My mom,” his voice wobbled, “She…she wouldn’t have stopped looking for me.”

Rey’s heart squeezed painfully at that.

“Ben,” she whispered. “That's what it said in the article, she called you Ben.”

“No one’s called me that…in a very long time.”

The wind blew a few leaves off a nearby tree and she watched as they breezed through Ben. He was looking at her again, like he had yesterday. Like he knew her somehow.

“I’ve prayed, for years…I’ve…” he swallowed thickly, “I’ve asked a God I’m not even sure exists for someone… to just see me. I’ve watched the world change around this little plot of green and I’ve just…waited.”

She steeps closer, wishing she could offer some comfort. “Has…Has no one seen you? Till me?

He shook his head.

“You’re the first.”

“Is that all you’ve wanted all these years? Is…is that enough to help you cross? I’ve heard something about unfinished bus-”

“I want to go home.” He says, cutting her off. “Even if I can’t… even if I’m cursed to be…as I am, I’d like to at least be able to explore the fields I know. Visit the streams I used to fish.”

He looked away then and Rey just watched as he drew shaky breaths, his face shivering with the effort.

“I’ll help you.” She said softly. “Let me help you.”

He looked back at her, eye rimed red. Weekly, the corner of his mouth quivered, as if he was trying to smile but the muscles didn’t know how.

So she smiled for him, reassuring him.

“You’re not alone Ben.”

He stepped closer, as close as he could without passing through her. His came up, hovering just beside her cheek, as if to cup it.

“Neither are you.”
