Sometimes they whisper in your ear, kindly guiding you, other times their voices are constant agony as each one screams and begs for your attention. This gift, or curse, is your burden to carry and what you do with it is up to you. Will you guide the long dead spirits to a restful afterlife, or will you use their knowledge for your own personal gain? The choice is yours, just make sure the voices that keep you company in your head don't drive you mad.
