The Echo's Purpose
The Echo, influenced by The Traveler's actions, stabilizes a pocket dimension, hinting at a deeper role in the cosmic balance. Its true sentience remains a mystery.
The Traveler found himself adrift, not in the usual void that preceded a shift, but in a shimmering, crystalline expanse.

Structures of light, delicate and intricate, had coalesced from the chaotic fragments. They pulsed with a gentle luminescence, forming ethereal bridges and soaring spires that defied gravity and logic. This was the work of the Echo.
The Echo. An entity of pure, unadulterated reaction. It had been a chaotic presence, a mirror reflecting the unraveling threads of existence.
