Greenpath Vessel Headcanon/theory

Greenpath vessel headcanon/theory

The Greenpath vessel like all the vessels who escaped was called to rescue/replace the Hollow knight. At some point, early on in it's travel it met the Seer, who wanted to help the little one in it's quest to free the knight, like how she would later assist little Ghost, by showing it to the dream nail.

Because they did not meet within the dream realm the seer could not lead this vessel to the dream nail but instead instructed it to find a grove in Greenpath, which is a sacred place with a strong connection to the dream realm. The place where Unn had used dream to bring to life the mosskin.

And there it was to use a spell, either a spell within the stones there, or a spell the seer had taught it, to enter into the dream realm to retrieve the nail.

For this quest the Seer bestowed upon the vessel, the mothwing cloak, that would help it to more quickly reach its destination.

Unfortunately, Hornet could not let the vessel obtain any power to destroy the dreamers without first testing it's strength, and the vessel was defeated by her, before it could use the spell.

Also! the dreamers appearance to little Ghost within the grove was able to occur because of the grove's strong connection to their realm.
