Chapter 1_collapsed.
Walking away doesn't mean that "I am weak,right!"
CLACK ! CLACK!
ECHO!!! come back here you damn pig , face me like a man you are.
A heavy sigh! escaped from echo's lips....I have to run unti....But
Swisshh!
A blue light illuminated the world....and he felt his frequency light dim ..... thats the final thing he saw.
-----
You are here again ,a loud woman's voice spread out... how many times have you been in trouble young man!
You know, if your core is pressured by a higher light,it will collapse, she said.
AHHH! my head , echo winced in pain , he noticed he felt hollow and he was confused.
So you have noticed, said the woman in her late fifties.The medical team has run test on you an....
HUH! "he realized that the feeling of emptiness is strange" reality starts distorting around him, a shadow hue surrounds him when you look closer.
But it was undetected by the woman's gaze ,she was just a common outcast, working for a medical team.
He heard something that almost shattered his reality...Your light core has been damaged by a higher frequency ,you are no longer an Enlighter.
Echo stared at the woman in silence trying process what he had just heard.
As if to confirm her words.....You are now a collapsed , the authorities will transfer you to The Nexus of no return. You can live your life as a collapse with your kind, she said with no emotion in her eyes.
Dread! crept in, to confirm if is true he tried to summon his light energy.....a flicker of red light appeared ,eyes filled with hope but..... it died down after it appeared as if to show its last strand.
Tears started to fall of his eyes! The old woman had a little pity in her eyes.
Those who are not strong can't leave in this verse, she shook her head. You will be transferred to the BELOW by morning so get ready.... she left the still crying boy as she came.

CLACK ! CLACK! CLACK ! CLACK!
Two pair of boots echoed around a chamber.
Inside the arms of a man was a disheveled boy soaked in tears. In front of them was a glowing portal that gives a sense of trepidation as if is an ancient-abandoned object.
Reality itself seems to reject its existence.
Upon staring at the black swirling energy , echo felt a lot of emotions within.
No! No! , please i don't wa...
Quiet!
A deep voice shut him up. They finally reach the portal, and before echo tried to speak his vision went black and he felt distorting all around him.He feels his vision and existence began to stretch and bend
That's another failed ,an exile, the man who carried echo said. The other nodded in agreement...yes and it was a weak one as that.

POV.
Echo felt a cold feeling around his legs .... he stared down to find out he was standing on a crystalline ground.The ground below him shimmered like polished crystal glass, reflecting his image in perfect clarity and stretching infinitely in all directions.
He stared at his surroundings and he was surprised how different the myths says about the The below.....the realm of The BELOW wasn't dark or oppressive, as the tales had warned and say, light move different here.....
The Nexus stretched infinitely all around him, with obsidian spires that reflect and refract light through walls of unseen prisms, casting colors that danced across the horizon like living auroras.
Colors unrecognizable to him shimmered in the air, merging and splitting, forming a strange sense of constellations of light.
The air was crisp, sweet, and almost alive...oxygen that seemed to hum with energy filling his lungs with vitality.
It was a living realm of light and colours,mostly dominated by darkness ,echo's mouth was agape wide.
His existence resonated with this realm....
tethered to a strange sense of gravity that seemed to belong here.
The realm was strangely welcoming, almost too comfortable, like a forgotten memory of home, a place he didn't know he missed until he arrived.
The energy was denser here,warm and alive, he could see it moving around like liquids faster than any light he had seen before, bending toward him as if drawn to his presence."
Echo felt strange about this realm that he can't quite put it together....His body felt light and weightless .....He could feel that he absorbs energy faster than when he was outside of this realm ,seeping into every corner of his being—mind, body, and core alike.
It! was! intoxicating!.
Ahh!! Hahahah! So this is it ....the feeling , he laughed like a madman.
But.....
Rumble!!!!!
