Shema and Shameen have had many lives together, only realizing this after they both pass on, before joyfully agreeing to both being born into a new life and new ignorance of their connection, just so that they can experience each other anew, again.
But sometimes "together" doesn't mean right next to each other. In one life, Shema was a spirit medium and a minor magician, and Shameen, the spirit who chose her as his speaker.
Together, they traveled her world, helping the impoverished, performing minor miracle and magics, and facing difficulties and rewards in equal measure.
