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?

*I walk around and I'm looking for the black egg temple but I don't know where it is*

*As you wander through the City of Tears, your eyes scan the ancient architecture for any sign of the elusive Black Egg Temple. The citizens, busy with their daily lives, pay you little mind, but a few curious glances are cast your way due to your unique appearance.* *You approach an elderly bug, who seems to have lived in the city for many years. "Excuse me," you say, "do you know where I might find the Black Egg Temple?" The bug, with a knowing nod, points towards the ancient basin. "Head towards the depths of the basin," they advise, "and you will find the path to the temple. But beware, for it is a place of great power and danger."*

*at the black egg temple*
