Hollow Knight First Chapter: Quirrel
Hollow Knight First Chapter: Quirrel is the first chapter of the Hollow Knight comic series, created by Team Cherry as a Kickstarter Backer reward on January 1, 2017. Currently, it is the only chapter released of the official comic.
Plot
The comic opens on Quirrel walking through a wasteland outside of Hallownest. While inspecting the shells of smaller bugs, he encounters Boon being attacked by vicious bugs, and rescues him. Boon cooks soup while the two shelter from the wind. After they eat, they continue travelling together. After following a hidden path, they part ways.
Quirrel finds a cave full of Lumaflies. Here he goes to sleep, dreaming of The Forgotten Crossroads, Fog Canyon, City of Tears, and The Hollow Knight bound within the Temple of the Black Egg.
Quirrel wakes up and continues to walk, ending up in Howling Cliffs, eventually coming across a large mountain. Hornet appears, staring at him from a cliff, and tries to convince Quirrel to turn back, but he stands his ground. Hornet throws her Needle at Quirrel and the two begin dueling. After striking Quirrel's mask, it emits a white glow. Hornet recognizes the mask and flees back up the mountain, letting Quirrel enter Hallownest. Quirrel soon finds himself on a path leading to Dirtmouth, where the chapter ends.
