The Hollow King's Forgotten Queen

For three hundred years, the Hollow King has made the villagers pay each Halloween, trading their souls for his eternal life.

The sacrifice is the only ease he has for a wound that never heals, and his claw always finds its mark.

Cursed and alone, he has forgotten the queen he once loved.

This Halloween the offering feels different, familiar in a way that unsettles the long dark of his castle.

Behind a locked door an empty cradle still waits, and nothing promises he will remember before the sacrifice is complete.
