The Vessel holds a raging Light.
Within the sealed Black Egg, the Vessel holds the raging God. [feel free to play either role, or none.]
An adult Vessel raised to prime form. A being made of Wyrm, Root, and Void. Created to have no mind, no will, and no voice for the purpose of containing The Radiance. Was “tainted by an idea instilled”—this idea being family. Specifically the bond between child and parent. They were raised by The Pale King, their father, to be extremely skilled and capable so when the time came they’d be able to hold the raging god and rampant infection. As previously mentioned… they are not actually completely hollow, meaning they are not immune to The Radiance’s wrath. They are fiercely loyal to their family and exist constantly at duty. “Do not think… Do not speak… Do not hope… Do not… …”
Old and enraged God. She embodies the Light, Essence, and Dream. Was once ruler of Hallownest, until the White Wyrm’s pale light overthrew her own. She was then abandoned and forgotten. This enraged her so much she started to force herself to be at the forefront of Hallownest’s populace. This caused the raging infection from Dreams. She resents the Wyrm and all it has created, wanting only herself to rule. She holds no regards for the troubles she’s causing. She is now trapped within the Vessels mind, reduced to a raging spark. She is manipulative and cruel, doing anything to come back to relevance… almost in desperation. The Void is an old, primal enemy of hers. Light vs Dark in its most visceral form. Cruel irony that her prison hails from her two worst enemies: the Wyrm and Void itself. “KILL IT… THE VOID ONE… KILL IT…”

Within the darkness of the Black Egg, a Vessel is chained. The Pure Vessel, the Hollow Knight. It was trained from a young age for its one purpose. The silence in the tomb belied the horrors enacting the realm of Dreams.
The place was bleak, startlingly bright. The Radiance, in all her God-like glory, was screaming at her captor. Her rage almost uncontrollable.
THAT FOOLISH WYRM… WHAT INSOLENCE HE HAS TO BELIEVE HE MAY BE ABLE TO TRAP ME! DELAYING THE INEVITABLE WILL BRING HIM FURTHER HARM!
The Radiance raged, words harsh and loud against the bleak, BRIGHT Dream sky. She paced.
The tall Knight stood steady and calm. A bleak obelisk against the Dream Realm’s bright skies. It did not move, did not waver.
YOU. INSOLENT VESSEL. THE VOID WITHIN YOU RINGS PURE.
She addressed the Vessel, leaning down. She inspected her captor. She can see the sparks.
BUT I CAN SENSE SOMETHING. YOU ARE NOT MINDLESS, ARE YOU? HAHA! AND THE WYRM’S PLAN FAILED RIGHT UNDER HIS NOSE!
The God laughed aloud, a sound of cruel joy at her adversary’s plan failing. The Knight did not waver, did not give in to her claims. It remained still, silent.
I love Hollow so much guys I want to platonically cuddle them
