Sure! Here’s the rewritten article:

So, here’s a thing: Hollow Knight’s got this sequel coming up, right? Silksong. And everyone’s buzzing about it like bees on soda. I mean, who wouldn’t be pumped to wander around the spooky kingdom of Pharloom playing as Hornet? She’s this agile silk-slinging warrior insect, or whatever you want to call her. Anyway — wait, no — where was I? Oh yeah, the game.
So, like, while Team Cherry will obviously throw new characters our way, I can’t help but daydream about some old pals from Hallownest popping back up. They’d sort of, I dunno, tie everything together story-wise. Ever think about the continuity between games? No idea why, but I love that stuff.
Okay, picture this: Quirrel. Such a chill dude, wandering around with his mellow vibes. Always seemed like he was lost in thought, which is kinda relatable, honestly. Imagine if he just showed up in Pharloom, exploring like usual, providing all sorts of historical nuggets about these crazy kingdoms. Might even help us crack some geographical mysteries. His whole explorer vibe just fits.
And what about a mentor thing with Hornet? I mean, in the original game they barely talked, but that could easily change. I’d kill for Quirrel to drop some wise nuggets or train Hornet with his crazy combat skills. Plus, remember Blue Lake? Some folks thought he died peacefully there. Nah, I bet he sneaked off on another journey. Surprise!
Now let’s talk maps. The dream team: Iselda and Cornifer. Imagine Cornifer, nose-deep in cartography, sneaking around Pharloom, plotting out those twisty mazes. He kinda gives off that “gotta chart everything” energy. While Iselda? I bet she got fed up with the shop and decided, “Screw it, let’s join Cornifer.” They expand their map biz outside Dirtmouth. Can’t blame her, really.
Their connection to Hornet is already there. They know her, which means we wouldn’t need any complicated backstory to have them in Silksong. Frankly, that’s a relief – less narrative head-scratching.
Now, onto the magicians – Grimm and The Troupe. They’ve got this mystical quality, right? I feel they’d just… show up if the universe needed them. They’re all about travel, existing between worlds. And Hornet, with her protector role, might totally vibe with their theatrical world. Who knows, they might recognize something in each other, a nod to understanding age-old customs.
And then, The Hunter. This creature’s fascination with cataloging dangerous critters screams “Pharloom expedition!” His journal offers both gameplay hooks and lore. Incentivizing Hornet to jot down Pharloom’s wild beasts could be a fun twist. The respect he’d have for Hornet’s skills? That’d make for intriguing dynamics – rival, apprentice, whatever.
Long story short, even without any returning friends, Silksong promises to be a wild expansion of the world and stories we love from Hollow Knight. Whatever Team Cherry decides, one thing’s for sure: Pharloom’s flying doors wide open with intrigue.
Anyway, that’s just my two cents. Cant’ wait to see how it all unfolds!
