āHello little one,ā Maeia addressed the apparition waiting for her. The girl appeared prepubescent, with long dark hair and stunning gold eyes. She didnāt answer, gazing instead into Maeiaās face with shameless curiosity. āYouāre a little bold for a phasma,ā Maeia continued, using the name her order called these embodied memories. Other phasma continued to walk near them and through them.
āAnd what would your name be if you were real, I wonder?ā Maeia asked, not expecting an answer. Sure enough, she didnāt get one, just more of the same intensely curious stare. āWell, regardless, lead on, take me where you will.ā
Iāll call you Leta, she thought to herself, the hidden one.
Leta turned to go, and without looking, reached out her left hand to take Maeiaās in hers. Maeia froze in stunned amazement, staring down at the small hand in hers.
I can feel her hand, she thought. That shouldnāt be possible.
