The Forgotten Echoes usually appear in places tied to deep hatred or obsession. That's why both of them were shocked to see so many of them here, inside a hero's tomb.
Why would there be this many echoes in the resting place of a hero? Was it hatred? But why would anyone hate a hero?
Could it be obsession instead? Maybe these were once the hero's followers, people who couldn't forgive themselves for failing to help him in the final battle. Their obsession might've turned them into echoes.
But Daniel and Drael both sensed that it wasn't that simple. The shapes of these echoes felt more like something born from hatred.
It was clear, these things were filled with pure hatred, and that hatred was the reason they still existed.
"Watch out," Daniel warned suddenly, signaling Drael to step back.
From the cracks and shadows, the Forgotten Echoes emerged, decayed bodies in cracked armor, faces that no longer resembled humans.
