No one will hurt you.”Ī lumafly lantern went off in Ghost’s head. “Don’t worry, my child, you are safe here. He lifted the memory up and touched foreheads with it. The Hollow memory tugged at the Pale King’s robes, drawing his attention. “If that were true…” he murmured wistfully.
“The power I poured into the Radiance won’t return until she dies. “Ghost… that’s a nice name.” He glanced back at the Hollow memory, then back at Ghost. “Hello, little one…” he muttered, sounding confused. Finally, the king turned to look at them, eyes full of anger until he took in the small vessel. Ghost reached up and tugged at the Pale King’s sleeve. They had assumed it was a conscious choice to ignore the others, but there were a lot of stillborn vessels… it wasn’t unreasonable to assume he wasn’t aware of their existence. He didn’t know there were other vessels? Ghost tilted their head to one side. Maybe one of them could have been empty… taken the burden from you, my little one.” “I wish more vessels had been born with life. The Pale King just nuzzled the top of memory Hollow’s head. The Pale King didn’t object this time, so they moved closer and closer until they were standing side-by-side with him.
Ghost reached out a hand, then withdrew it. He opened his eyes and looked down at the Hollow memory. Now I’m left with the tatters of my memory, and the knowledge of the devastation I couldn’t prevent.” I weakened her, I bought time, but I couldn’t kill her. I entered her realm, and burned myself up from the inside. All I could do was try to negate her power with my own, everything I had. He shook his head, as if trying to get rid of bad thoughts. Not at first, you understand, I still needed to save our kingdom, but as you grew…” You were such a good actor.” He closed his eyes. You wanted to make me happy, you wanted to make me proud. I had to be sure, but you surprised me, didn’t you, little one?” he asked of the memory. He didn’t seem to realize that it was another bug who had spoken. Or at least to weaken her, to buy more time.” He ran his hand down the Hollow memory’s horns. Thankfully, the Pale King heard them, but flinched as the words entered his mind. It’ll take me too long to recover this memory if I lose it, so I can’t let another take its place.” Ghost noticed he had dropped the royal “we” in his speech. When they got there, the king picked them up in his arms and pulled them close to his chest. They sheathed their nail and trotted dutifully over to their father. He reached out his arms and the Hollow memory stopped practicing. The king let out a sigh, never turning to look at Ghost, never letting their eyes stray from the Hollow memory. They saw the Pale King close his eyes, then in a harsher tone than before, he ordered, “We said, leave us be!” Ghost took a hesitant step forward, then another.
