Hello friends.
Grimm
Usagi
Lobco

Hello family.
Hollow Knight
Sibling

Hello everyone else.

I am the Knight.

We are the Void.

[Yep. Yep, that's all they've got. Their sibling taught them how to type and now they are reveling in their ability to communicate. Though clearly not their ability to communicate very well.]

[lightthedarkness]

.... Does it hurt?

[dreamnailedit]

No. It looks like an attack, but it is not one.

[lightthedarkness]

Well... If it doesn't hurt, I guess we could try it on me?

[dreamnailedit]

I will see your dreams. Are you okay with that?

[lightthedarkness]

Well, it's you, so yes.

[dreamnailedit]

Very well. I will not betray your trust.

And I will destroy any nightmares I find.

[lightthedarkness]

I know you won't, Knight. You're a very brave and loyal Knight. Perfectly named.

Well, then those nightmares better beware.

[dreamnailedit]

I will not be able to destroy ones I do not see.

But I will search thoroughly.

I will guard your dreams.

[If only they'd been around when dealing with Nehellenia...]

[lightthedarkness]

Oh, so you can see more than just the dream I'm having?

[Seriously, then again, Usagi's had nightmares since she was 14.]

[dreamnailedit]

Not fully. But sometimes a dream will start to form, and take time to shape. I can tell if it will be a bad one during that time.

I can destroy it so a new one can take shape.

[lightthedarkness]

What a useful little nail! Knight, you don't sleep though, so why even have it?

[dreamnailedit]

To face The Radiance.

It was in dreams that Father bound Her.

[lightthedarkness]

You entered your father's dreams?

[dreamnailedit]

No. My sibling's. They were the seal.

That was the purpose Father gave them.

[lightthedarkness]

... No offense, Knight, but the more I hear about your dad, the less I like him.

[dreamnailedit]

That is understandable.

But my sibling would be pained to hear it.

[lightthedarkness]

I'll be sure not to mention it around your sibling... whiiich by the way, what's their name?

[dreamnailedit]

They are the Hollow Knight.

[lightthedarkness]

Aren't YOU the Hollow Knight as well? I can't call you both Knight.

[dreamnailedit]

No. I am hollow, and I am a knight. But I am not the Hollow Knight. Only Father can give that title.

[lightthedarkness]

What does the Hollow Knight do?

[dreamnailedit]

The Hollow Knight is the one that holds The Radiance back.

Though this is no longer necessary, they still hold the title.

[lightthedarkness]

But didn't you defeat the Radiance and held it back?

[dreamnailedit]

Defeated, yes. But "holding back" implies that She is still capable of fighting and is indeed constantly attempting to break through, as she was with my sibling.

She can no longer do that. I am not entirely certain She survived being dragged into the Void, but even if she did Her power is gone.

[lightthedarkness]

I... some part of me is sad that it came to that instead of getting her to see differently. But I understand having to stop someone when there are far more lives at stake.
