The Echo by Erik Tucsok

In this story of validation an individualist looking for an ancient meaning makes discoveries beyond anything he could have ever imagined.
 
Set in the world of Föld, Erik Tucsok's The Echo introduces fresh perspectives to the cultures of people who live underground. The elements of industry bleeding into high fantasy makes this a thrilling read for fans of tunnels and the dark. 
 
Rhandyr, a Nhavyyet man decidedly alone among the many, sets out to find answers that will bring balance to his world. After stumbling onto a place long forgotten by his people, he searches through the ancient ruins to find scraps of wisdom. A dormant relic nearly relieves his overwhelming doubts, but the failing structure presents him with even greater opportunities.
 
Will the man of greed take one too many steps and forgo the deadly questions that protest his story echoing throughout time?
 
“A gripping tale of exploration and discovery, leaving me hungry for more stories in this brilliant world.”—Kristy Gibbs of Dead Trees and Ink on The Echo
 
After over a decade of crafting the world, The Echo is the second short story within the grand masterpiece of The Anthology From Föld.
