They are always there, whispering in the back of my head. I’m the only one who can hear them. My friends and family think I’m crazy when I tell them about the voices. My parents have tried everything, even placing me in an asylum for a few months. It didn’t matter; nothing worked because I’m not insane. These voices are real. I don’t know how I know this, but I do.
It doesn’t matter what other people say about me. I’m just a perfectly normal mare who hears strange voices in her head. Voices that whisper constantly, just out of reach. For the most part the whispers are not coherent, they’re just a murmur in the back of my thoughts. Only occasionally do I catch a word or a phrase. Most commonly I hear, “Make us known again… we’ve long since been forgotten… help us.”
For a long time, I didn’t know why the voices spoke just to me since I’m just a mere dress maker. I found out less than a year ago when I went to see an oracle in the hope that maybe I could get some answers. Well, I definitely got answers, just not the kind of answers I neither expected nor wanted. She told me I was hearing the voices of long dead souls. Also she said that I was chosen to hear the voices because I was the only one who could help them.
I’ve spent the last few months pondering why I deserve to be the sole recipient of these whispering voices and be ridiculed by everyone else. I’m not completely sure what I’m meant to do to help those whom the voices in my head belong to, but I do know that no matter how I am treated by other people I will do whatever I can to help these poor souls. I will help because no one, dead, alive, nor caught in between the two, deserves to be doomed to endless suffering and reduced to a mere voice forced to depend on someone else to even be heard.
I don’t know how I will help or how I can even possibly be of use to them, but I swear on my life that I will do whatever is asked of me. No matter how much I am shunned by the rest of society I will help them. From now on I dedicate my life to helping these poor forgotten souls revenge whatever reduced them to such a miserable fate.
