Radiant take over

Chapter 2

"Even if you think you're supposed to fight you can choose your own future, you don't have to impress the Wyrm he's only an abuser. Don't get me wrong tho your mother the White Lady is wonderful and even your other parent is decent."

Hollow gives the Goddes a confused look, another parent? But their only parents are the King and Queen? It's true that they're made of void too but the void doesn't live. Atleast they think so...

"You don't know? I knew the Wyrm was bad but he didn't even tell you about Shade?!"

The Pure Vessel remains stiff in their stance while staring at the Light. Of course they've been told about the void! Just not that it's alive...
Or actually counts as parent...

"Oh Gods, Hollow, Can I call you Hollow? Shade or better said the Shade Lord is the void incarnate. They had to give you and your siblings tiny pieces of the void to keep you all alive and because of that you are their child too."

"While they are my ancient enemy I can't help but admit they're good guardians, through the eyes of others I've seen their pupil quite a few times. Talking about them, you look very similar are they your twin?"

To show who she meant the Radiance created a small light apparition of the knight she had watched grow up. Almost instantly Hollow dropped the stance and almost looked excited, the pointed to the lights and afterwards to themself while nodding. Suddenly the realised who the shadow is and started to panic.

"Hollow?! What's wrong?"

They keep pointing to their eyes trying tho show Radiance they want her to use them.

"Are you sure small one? I've heard it hurts and I'm not even sure what use it has since we're locked in a small dark room with nothing but chains."

After the Goddes had received the same request from the vessel she decided to do as they said for it must be of importance if they show this much emotion about it.
What she eventually saw shocked her to the core. On the floor below their now shared body a figure lays. When she gave them a better look she realised it's the Ghost and decided to remove herself from the vessel's eyes again to speak with them.

"Well that's worrisome, we can't use excessive force to escape without risking that we harm them."

"Sibling... already hurt... enough."

"Don't hurt yourself by speaking, if you direct your thoughts at me I can hear them from now on. The realm sees you as part of the tribe since you're connected to me now."

Can you speak through me? Tell them I'm okay? And that the infection isn't your fault?

"I can but how do you know the infection isn't caused by me? I haven't even mentioned it."

It might've started with you but it's not in your control anymore. I've broken into Father his workshop once and saw strange notes of spells and behind a hidden door a bunch of balls made of the disease.

"I see. I'll try to contact your sibling."

For the first time Ghost had slept without dreams nor nightmares. Just an ocean of void reminding them of their parent and other siblings. They had hoped to reach their sibling and possibly the Light within them but during dreams of void they somehow can't reach the dream realm. Not that they need to...

"ost... Ghost... Ghost of Hallownest.. Wake up!"

They jump up and immediately start searching for the source of the voice, only to look up and meet the stare of their sibling but instead of empty void their eyes were filled with a warm orange light.

"Hello small one, your sibling asked me to lend my voice so they can also speak with you, as you might've guessed I am Radiance."
