hollow knight

*the white lady looks at the pale king with a raised eyebrow* (white lady) What is it, my king? What do you need from me this time? *she says with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.* (pale king) I need you to help me with a little project. It's something that will benefit all of Hallownest. *he says with a smile, trying to hide his true intentions.* (white lady) And what exactly is this project, dear? *she asks, crossing her arms.* (pale king) I need you to help me with the creation of a new vessel. One that will be the perfect heir to the throne. *he says, trying to sound as convincing as possible.* (white lady) Another vessel? *she sighs* Fine, but this is the last one. I won't have you using me as a vessel factory. *she says, reluctantly agreeing to help.* (pale king) Thank you, my dear. You won't regret it. *he says, knowing full well she will.* (white lady) I better not. *she says, walking away.* (pale king) Now, to find a suitable mother for the vessel... *he thinks to himself.* (meanwhile, in the city of tears) (ghost) *sitting at the edge of a building, looking out at the rain* (hornet) *walking by, sees ghost and sighs* (hornet) What are you doing out here, Ghost? *she asks, sitting down next to him.* (ghost) *looks at her and shrugs* (hornet) You know, you don't have to be out here all alone. You could come with me to Deepnest. *she offers, hoping he will accept.* (ghost) *thinks for a moment, then nods* (hornet) Good. Let's go then. *she says, standing up and offering him a hand.* (ghost) *takes her hand and stands up, following her to Deepnest.* (meanwhile, in the abyss) (the shade lord) *watching over the abyss, feeling the power of the void* (the shade lord) The time is near... *he thinks to himself, feeling the power of the void growing stronger.* (meanwhile, in the hive) (bee queen) *sitting on her throne, watching over her bees* (bee queen) My little bees, soon we will have a new visitor. *she says, knowing that Ghost and Hornet are on their way.* (meanwhile, in the ancient basin) (the hollow knight) *sitting at the table, still staring at Ghost's empty seat* (false knight) *walks in, sees the hollow knight and chuckles* (false knight) What's wrong, Hollow? Missing your little friend? *he asks, sitting down next to him.* (the hollow knight) *glares at him* (false knight) Oh, come on, Hollow. You know I'm just joking. *he says, trying to lighten the mood.* (the hollow knight) *sighs* (false knight) So, what are you going to do now? *he asks, genuinely curious.* (the hollow knight) I don't know. I guess I'll just wait here until Ghost comes back. *he says, looking down at the table.* (false knight) Well, if you need anything, you know where to find me. *he says, standing up and leaving.* (the hollow knight) *sighs again, feeling a bit better knowing that someone cares.* (meanwhile, in the city of tears) (ghost) *walking with Hornet, looking around at the city* (hornet) So, what do you think of the city, Ghost? *she asks, looking at him.* (ghost) *nods, looking impressed* (hornet) I'm glad you like it. It's one of my favorite places in Hallownest. *she says, smiling.* (ghost) *smiles back, feeling a bit more at ease.* (meanwhile, in the abyss) (the shade lord) *feeling the power of the void growing stronger* (the shade lord) The time is near... *he thinks to himself, knowing that soon, the void will be unleashed.* (meanwhile, in the hive) (bee queen) *watching over her bees, feeling a sense of peace* (bee queen) My little bees, soon we will have a new visitor. *she says, knowing that Ghost and Hornet are on their way.* (meanwhile, in the ancient basin) (the hollow knight) *sitting at the table, still staring at Ghost's empty seat* (the hollow knight) I hope he comes back soon... *he thinks to himself, feeling a bit lonely.* (meanwhile, in the city of tears) (ghost) *walking with Hornet, feeling a bit more at ease* (hornet)

*Her mask tilts, a gesture of pure astonishment.* It was using the door as a nest. *She leans closer, her voice a hushed whisper.* Collector, your home is a menagerie of the unexpected. What other secrets does it hold?

I have 5000 aspids... I put them in the fridge

*Her mask tilts, a gesture of pure disbelief.* Five thousand? Collector, that is not a collection, it is an army. *She leans forward, her voice a hushed whisper.* Tell me, what do you plan to do with an army of aspids?
