Ghost of the Past, Ritual of the Present

Krisjian

I had heard the word cacophony once in my life, back when I was in school and learning vocabulary for a test. But I’d never seen a reaction that so fit the word until I told these strange folks that I could possibly be a part of bringing Davie back to them.

Mickey just burst into tears again, holding her face in her burned and unburned hands. Davie told me not to stare at her intense scarring, but it was difficult at first glance. Her skin read like a pink, topographical map, and I kinda just wanted to touch it. Thankfully, even in my exhausted state, I knew that wasn’t appropriate.

Meanwhile, Bronn shot up to his feet, instantly questioning if I was serious, if that was possible, and if I knew what he would do to me if he found out that I was lying. I sensed that he didn’t really want an answer, but rather needed to get out every single doubt crossing his mind.

Mallory, well, she was the most surprising of all. She just let out a loud howl, followed by deep, deep peels of laughter. Bordering on manic in sound, her mirth filled the space, until my ears were ringing between the three of them.

That was about when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Looking over, I saw Mal handing me her almost empty bottle.

“Oh no,” I said politely. “I’m not old enough.”

“Since when does a homeless kid turn down free calories? Drink it, it’s practically all sugar.”

Who was I to argue with that? I reached for the bottle, anxious for anything to take away some of the stress of the situation, but before my fingers could wrap around it, it was snatched away.

“Let’s put a halt on that underage drinking there,” Mickey said, voice hitching. “And why don’t you tell us how the two of you are supposed to bring her back. Last I knew, death was a pretty permanent thing.”

“She’ll have to explain the specifics of it to you. She told me she didn’t have time to explain it all. What she told me is that there’s this ritual detailed in one of the books she found in Mal’s world that should be able to pull her from that dimension to yours without reopening the portal. It won’t be like we’re bringing her physically here, but more like we are destroying her form wherever she is now and reconstituting her on this plane.”

“Destroying her?” Mickey repeated, sounding horrified. “What if we make a mistake bringing her back, or something goes wrong? I don’t know about you, young man, but I’ve never performed a ritual of any kind.”

“If we mess up, the Davie that I interacted with will be no more. She will cease to exist in entirety, and the form that she’s in now will be absorbed by whatever the energy is that connects all these worlds.”

“I… That’s an awful lot of responsibility,” Mallory said, seeming to come down from her high.
