Friendship Letters

The Voices are all consuming. Fear, Pain, and Suffering surround Nar in a cacophony that tears away at his very being. He can feel the tendrils of the Voices attempting to rip apart his mind, and steal the memories within. He screams, but it only joins the thousands of other screams coming from within the Voices. There is no defense against the Voices once you're in it's clutches. Deep within the parts of Nar's mind, not yet under assault, he knows it's only a matter of time before he becomes like the others. Before it strips him of his memories, and makes him forget who he is. Soon, he'll become another face in the sea of torment, doomed for eternity.

"Nar!"
A voice calls out. Nar's eyes open, and he sees an arm extending to him from above. When he looks up to find the source, he sees the face of his friend, Sprout, staring down at him with her arm outstretched. Nar struggles against the Voices. He begins to lift an arm, but the Voices fight to pull it back down. Sprout's face begins to shrink as the Voices close in around her. Then, they are opened again, as Juno appears to shove his way into the opening. "Fight it man! You're a tough son of a bitch! Don't give up!" The hole opens wider, and Nar feels the resistance against his arm lessen. This time, Artuo shoves his way inside, quickly followed by his parents, Hiari, and Mandy. They all reach, and call out to him as he fights to lift his arm to meet theirs. The Voices scream in frustration, and one by one, his friends, and family are torn away from him. Nar cries out, and another arm reaches in, as Sprout is violently wrenched away. He sees the face of Deena as she appears to use her magic to keep the opening from closing. The Voices try to expel her, but she fights to stay. Asuka nearly dives inside the Voices as she reaches for her brother. Nar's fingertips brush against hers. Just a few more inches and... Asuka screams in dismay as the Voices slowly begin to pull her away. "Oh no you don't!" Another voice roars from outside. A large, burly hand shoots into the voices, and grabs hold of Nar's. "I gotcha Nephew!" Steve's voice calls out from outside, but Nar can't see him.
The voices roar in anger, and Steve's grip falters. He is violently thrown, and Deena's magic begins to give out. As she slowly begins to disappear behind the Voices, one last hand reaches out. A silver, clawed hand reaches into the Voices. It reaches a single finger out, and slowly inches towards Nar's head. The Voices roar once more, but the claw continues onward. The claw barely touches the tip of Nar's horn, and it flashes with a bright, yellow light.
Nar roars, and struggles against the voices as much as he can.
"You won't take them from me!"
Bright, yellow light flashes from Nar's horn. The Voices cry out in shock, and pain. Nar is expelled from the Voices, and tumbles across the ground in front of it. He quickly pushes himself to his feet, and with wide eyes, roars his rage towards the being. A beam of bright yellow light fires from Nar's horn, and passes through the Voices. It cries out in horror as 3 withered husks fall from it. The Voices begin to flee, but Nar chases after it. Now, he screams his rage, while it screams in terror.
"You took everything from them!"
Nar roars once more as another beam fires from his horn. Three husks fall from the Voices this time. It cries out again. The many faces within contort in pain, and terror. For the first time since it began to roam the Astral Plane, the Voices feel... Fear.
"Their lives!" Blast. "Their futures!" Blast. "Their memories!" Blast. "WHO THEY ARE!" Blast.
With each blast, more, and more husks fall from the Voices. It screams, but is only met with more blasts of light.
"Hey man! Just go for it! You and Amy would be perfect for each other! Besides! Even if she isn't interested, you guys will still be friends!"
Nar fires off another blast, knocking the husk of a large, earth pony stallion out of the Voices.
"This is for AUSTIN!"
"Hey, Nar? Thanks for seeing me as a person, and treating me like someone who matters. I never say it but... I'm grateful to have a friend like you."
Another blast. This time, a femal gryphon's husk is left behind.
"That was for TIPPS!"
"You're the toughest motherfucker I know! If you got into wrestling, you'd beat the snot out of anyone who you faced! Guaranteed!"
Another blast. This time, more intense than the last. This time, a teenage dragon's husk falls from the Voices.
"That's for THE ROCK!"
The Voices cry out as more, and more husks are expelled with each blast. It has quickly begun to lose mass.
"I'm so jealous of Asuka! She has such an amazing big brother! I wish I could be your little sister, just like her!"
The blasts of light from Nar's horn are nearly blinding now. The husk of a young, teenage mare falls out of the voices.
"This is for WILLOW!"
"Of course I think you'd be Super Stallion! You're just like him! Strong, brave, selfless, kind, and always thinking about others! You'd be the perfect paragon of justice!"
Another blast, this one causes nearly a quarter of the Voices' remaining husks to slough off of it's mass. Among them is a rather lanky stallion wearing a pair of glasses.
"And that's for ANDY!"
"I- I love you!"
Nar's rage-filled scream comes from his very soul, as he lets out one, final, massive blast of light. The voices cry out one last time, then... All is silent.
