I've been thinking that there could be a miniture version Hallow Nest in the Pride Ring, as in after dying and waking up in Hell, the citizens of Hallow Nest decided to get back together and forge a new (underground?) community, even insisting on the (reluctant) Pale King returning to his throne when he passes because they still adore him despite everything.
Lucifer has no idea because he doesn't pay attention to what goes on in his kingdom, but Charlie finds out and goes to meet him in hopes of forging an alliance. I need to draw the design (if only Stanley would stop pulling out the drawing pad cables) but I imagining Alastor's mama is where the Silk comes from, so the Pale King would be the source of the 'Cervidae gene' and he would be a Silver Elk.
Oooooh I'm imagining it's somewhere within Alastor's territory so not only is there new kingdom hard to find, it's also damn near impossible to even get close to cuz they're scared shitless of Alastor.
Bonus points if they have someone act like the Last Judge in Silksong but less "kill everyone" and more "I know what you're about to do in this place and I'm gonna either spare you or kill you based on that".
I think PK would be a bit a bit suspicious as to why the Princess of Hell wants to make an alliance with him and his kingdom after the Royal Family that rules Hell basically left them all to die. I'm gonna assume he, despite being a horrible father to all his kids, is kinda somewhat close to them, and when they tell him that Alastor is injured because of the Morningstars, his first thought was that Charlie wants to annihilate New Hallownest.
He doesn't expect Alastor to drop in and explain to him (and the rest of the Hallownest Council) that Princess Morningstar's intentions are not malicious and that he's already healed by then with no strings attached.
Bonus scene: Herra, Vespa and the White Lady hear that Alastor's back and they immediately rush to find him and hug him because they're his Moms and they're not letting their baby get hurt again.
