Week 2

Forgot to put TW’s and stuff last week, sorry about that
TW: Death (yeah-)
Set in season 9

Every time Grian thought of Mumbo and Iskall, he was filled with happiness. Every time he went to see them, he was even happier. So when he felt down, all he had to do was visiting one or both of his two boyfriends and he immediately forgot all his dark thoughts.

Or so he thought.

Grian thought about his old life as a Watcher a lot recently, especially the moment the Watchers had invaded Evo and locked in everyone, except from himself. And he had caused it.

Somehow, Pearl had managed to escape and was now a part of Hermitcraft, but she refused to talk about it. She honestly never talked to anyone, really.

Grian knew he needed to calm down. He felt guilty for what happened to Evo, but he was someone else now. He was not a Watcher.

And that’s why he decided to go to his neighbour, Mumbo. His house, or vault, was only a few metres away, but Grian saw almost immediately that Mumbo wasn’t home. Instead he went to Iskall’s, on the other side of Hermissippi. Their base were more spread out, with small tents all over the place plus carrot hill.

He quickly spotted both Iskall and Mumbo, who seemed to be chatting. No, scrap that, when Grian looked closer it turned out that they were... Arguing? They never did that, why now?

He decided to try to solve the conflict. He would not let his boyfriend and partner fight. As he approached he heard what they were arguing about.

“For the last time Iskall, I didn’t set off an explosion in your shop!” Mumbo yelled.

“Who was it then? You were the only one there!” Iskall countered.

“I wasn’t close to the shop anyway! I just happened to be the first one you spotted,” Mumbo defended himself. Just as he said that, Grian intervened.

“Woah, calm down,” he said. “Fighting ain’t gonna do the trick.”

At first both of them looked shocked, but then new anger filled their eyes.

“How dare you intervene our fight?!” Iskall shouted.

“Yeah! It’s not like it’s your business,” Mumbo said coldly. “Who knows, maybe you destroyed Iskall’s shop?”

“Actually yes, it’s more likely to be you,” Iskall agreed. “You and your little pranks. Well, you owe me some diamonds and time.”

“I- I,” Grian stuttered, unable to say anything else. The sudden outbreak had surprised him. He took a few steps back, before he ran away to his base.

Where his doom awaited.

Iskall and Mumbo stayed angry for a while, but soon they started to calm down. And it was there they realised that they had made a mistake.

Grian had probably done nothing wrong, and he was fragile. If anyone yelled at him he’d take it very badly - especially if it was someone close to him.

Iskall and Mumbo needed to find Grian and apologise, so he didn’t harm himself or... Do anything worse. They didn’t mean it when they shouted at him, they just didn’t think.

Two rockets later they were at Grian’s base. Without knocking, they dashed into his house to look for him. And what they saw... They’d never forget that.

Grian’s corpse laid on the floor. There was no visible wounds, but they noticed one thing.

The Watcher symbol.

Yeah uh- My Iskall killing streak is over, figured I’d give them a break

Also, why has Mumbo only died once? The only time I actually killed him was when the prompt was about killing him-
