"In wilds beyond they speak your name with reverence and regret,

For none could tame our savage souls yet you the challenge met,

Under palest watch, you taught, we changed, base instincts were redeemed,

A world you gave to bug and beast as they had never dreamed."

- From 'Elegy for Hollownest' By Robert the Teacher.

Speed was falling down until he was stopped by the floor in an instant, causing him to recoil. Then Speed went to the left and broke a rock, dropping 15 geo. He broke some doors until he reached a crawlid. He killed it, it dropped 2 geo and continued to break doors until he reached a gap and another crawlid. He jumped over the gap and killed the crawlid. Then platformed until he reached a tablet that read:

'Higher beings, these words are for you alone.


Your great strength marks you amongst us. Focus your soul and you shall achieve  feats of witch others could only dream.

Collect SOUL by striking enemies.

Once enough SOUL is collected 

sit still  to focus SOUL and HEAL.'

After reading that Speed went on and saw a vengefly that flew over him and then dropped to hurt him, which was successful. Speed then struck him two times, which killed it and then dropped three geo, then used focus to heal a mask of damage. He continued to platform up until he saw a blue cocoon. He struck it  with hopes of getting something. It opened reveling two harmless  Lifeseeds which he hit to kill them. When he did, he gained two Lifeblood masks two tank two attacks without taking damage. Then he went right to kill a crawlid and continue towards his goal. He tried to continue but the ground started to fall on to a platform which saved Speed from a spike pit. At the end of the room the was something strange below there. When he reached it he saw another two pit of spikes and a geo rock in front of it. he broke the rock to grab the geo and nail bounced of it until he reached a hole which he just jumped into it. He read another tablet which stated:

'Higher beings, these words are for you alone. 

Within these lands do not hide your true in your me form. Let all bask in your majesty,

for only this kingdom could produce such as you.'

After reading that he saw a chest. He opened it and saw a round piece jumping out of it. He collected it. On the back it read:

'Collected a charm

Fury of the fallen

Embodies the fury and heroism that comes upon those who are about to die.

When close to death, the bearer's strength will increase.'

After reading that he made his way up to a large and slightly broken door with a tablet next to it which read:

'Higher beings, these words are for you alone.

Beyond this point you enter the land of King and Creator.

Step across this threshold and obey our laws.

Bear witness to the last and only civilization, the eternal kingdom.

Hallownest'

Speed then broke the wall to reach Dirtmouth.
