Clearing Echo's Mind

Pyaari could hear his own footsteps as he walked forward, the endless void before him stretching onward. Eventually, he sees the glowing pillar, the tree all the tangled roots seem to come from. He is met with the looming shadow of Echo. The creatures form dripping and creating dozens, then hundreds of shadow beasts. Their teeth gnashing and red eyes focused on him. The giant serpent-like God coiling tighter around the glowing tree. He could tell that Echo was just afraid… the shadow beasts slinking away as he kept walking forward, coming to stand before the humming pillar. His hand outstretched, touching the tree as Echo came closer, watching silently as time seemed to slow.
