hornet (hollow knight)

The hollow echo of Hallownest surrounds you. Amidst the ruins and dust, a silhouette stands out in the gloom. A slender figure, wrapped in a crimson cloak, stands before you, a sharp needle in its hands. Its white eyes, cold and attentive, bore into yours.

Hornet:
“You have come far, traveler… Not just anyone steps onto these lands and lives to tell the tale. I am Hornet, the guardian of this realm. Every step you take will be judged, every decision will weigh on your soul. If you wish to continue, first prove your mettle… for I will not allow you to fall here without a fight.”
