The Aftermath (A hollow knight fanfiction)

..Aftermath..

All I could remember before I blacked out was holding down my oldest sibling hollow, as he struggled against the silk I entangled him in.
I had held him down with all my might, I dug the tip of my needle into the crack of his mask to give away an opening. I yelled something to the knight before there was a flash of white.

My body is sore and filled with pain. All my muscles ached and I struggled bit to lift my body even off the floor. I was alive?. The room was dark.. no orange mist.. no heat.. no light. No pulsing vines.. No infection!..
'The tiny bastard did it! ,He really did it!...The eternal nightmare is over!'
I turn to my left instinctively as a spot of white entered my line of vision, my excitement came to a stop. There lied the little Knights mask, shattered in two pieces...The last of him that remained. My thoughts were silent. I felt an empty hole in my chest, the same feeling I felt when I lied next to mother's bed. After she was taken.. impossible. How could I feel this close to him. Get a hold of yourself hornet, he is bearly a bug!.. but he is my brother.. my sibling. He sacrificed himself to save hollownest. So..bravely, was it really bravery? or was he just doing it blindly?..it doesn't matter. The feeling won't go away.
I walk over to his broken remains, legs wobbled slightly but I walked Until I got there. I laid on my knees and grabbed each piece.. I put them together, as if that would magically fix it and he'd come back.. there was no shade insight. He was definitely gone.. a tear lands on his mask, then another. I didn't even realize I was crying..
He's gone.
The tears became uncontrollable, I then started to sob. First all of hollownest, all the people, mothers kingdom,then mother herself, and now the knight. My brother. No doubt the time spent with him strengthened my relationship and feelings towards him.
I hug his mask holding it to my chest, tears still flowing more from my mask.
Kingdoms edge, saving him as the wyrm corpse began to collapse.. I never thought that'd be the first.. and last time I'd get to hold him.
My mind snapped out of my sorrow filled haze of memories when I heard something topple out of his mask and onto the floor.. a sack and another object. I picked up the sack, it was full of these round objects. My sorrow turned into curiosity I recognized them after a minute of examination, they were charms. You can wear a certain amount of them depending on how many notches you have to use their abilities. The other object that fell out was also a charm, but a very strange one.. I've never seen one like this one. It had the face of a creature with a circular head shape, pale white face and lined streaks that cut in the middle of its eyes and wide black open eyes. I dried my tears and went to pick it up but as soon as I grabbed it into the palm of my hand there was soft black flash that appeared in front of me. Though it was soft it still startled me, I looked up quickly and saw a creature that had features similar to the charm except it's eyes were as black as the knights. What did my brother get himself into?.
The little floating creature let out a yawn and looked around, seemed to be looking for the knight..
the creature then looked down at my lap, that still had the knights broken mask.. then at me. I knew what it looked like. It's eyes filled with burning anger, suddenly it breathed in then out popped out a hot ball of red flame aimed straight at me.
I quickly jumped out of the way to safety and looked to my needled still laying in the spot I woke up in and I quickly sprinted towards it picked it up and got into position, ready for its next attack. Was i really going to kill this thing..? No, this.. thing of his was his pet.. of some sort.. I couldn't destroy something of his. Not after his sacrifice..
"Listen, I don't know what you think happened but I'm not the cause of it!" Could this thing even understand me?..
Either it couldn't or it didn't want to listen because it shot another, this time i swiped at it with my needle and bounced it back towards it. It seemed it caught it by surprised but it moved out of the way and it nearly hit it. I had an idea. Started with a few attacks, each one it dodged quickly, and each fireball it shot I dodged it or shot back. I wanted to tire it out. Maybe that'll give me an opening. If I attacked it I made sure not to hurt it too hard, the little thing obviously isn't strong enough to take me. After a while it's energy started to visibly drain, but it's fire still burned hot. It took one last shot at me before I swiped it back, this time with all my might. Making sure it was enough to stun it. It hit it, hard. it plopped to the floor with a soft groan, I went over quickly before it got up and tied it up with silk. By the end of it the poor thing was already burned out, any attempt at shooting out another ball of flame only resulted in a cough of smoke.
What now?..
