[No one]

The second floors door flew open, hitting Ned pretty hard, sending the poor male down the stairs.

Xelqua couldn't help, but wince as he stormed down the stairs, seeing the damage he had done. Next time he shouldn't open the door with such a force.

" ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ!" He heard Haylie chide after him as the blonde nurse made her way to the guard that was bleeding on the stairs. Xelqua already knew the blood wasn't going to ever get off after it dried. "Please don't kill any more if your siblings!" The nurse continued as the strawberry blonde stormed out of the Main HQ.

"Sorry, ⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ, リᒷ↸, I forgot my turtles!" Xelqua exclaimed, turning to look at the two he had mentioned, causing him to trip on the stairs. He swore once before standing up and running off to the Portal Hub.

         Grian logged onto Hermitcraft and hurried to the cobblestone building he had made for the two turtles he had found from the desert. "Looks like you're all fine here", He sighed in relieve and glanced out of the window.

The day was turning to night. He already knew that the phantoms were going to be after him soon. He hadn't really dealt with those annoying creatures before since Evo had been in the earlier versions.

His communicator buzzed a few times as the Hermits were pointing out the phantoms that wanted them dead just because no one had slept in days. At least the Hermits respected his turtle farming and were ready to deal with the phantoms just so he could get his turtle helmet.

         After a few hours of farming turtles and finally getting a helmet, only to die and lose it, Grian had managed to cause a small issue with the turtles. There were too many of them and they were causing a bit of problems, which normally wouldn't have been a problem, but all kind of lag that was created by a Watcher was usually a problem since those could grow way more worse.

¬The Council¬

Xelqua
I might have
(3.04) caused a problem-

Sherenidy

but I don't think that would be
a good thing to say in
this conversation- (3.15)

Alden
Everyone shut up, Xelqua
explain your situation. (3.15)

Xelqua
(3.16) One word: Turtles.

Alden
Again? (3.20)

Godiva
O-O (3.21)

Van

Oskari
She actually knocked them out- (3.28)
Shit- (3.28)
Now she's after me- (3.29)

          Grian sighed and put his communicator away. He knew Xenex would take care of the problem, he trusted the male. Xenex was his roommate in the Watcher Academy for 6 years and he was also Xisuma's twin brother. Obviously he would fix a small problem caused by a few little turtles.

After getting a new turtle helmet, he made his way back home with a cow that he managed to trick inside his base with a sugarcanes. Then he got another cow and began making a simple farm.

Watchers and redstone was usually a huge disaster since they didn't go along pretty well, so Grian had to pretty much avoid redstone because there was a 75% chance that the whole server would crash, but luckily there were some design that didn't really need any redstone machines.

          He managed to stumbled across his neighbour's, Mumbo Jumbo's, strip mine while mining. It was a quite interesting information and he planned on doing some shenanigans with it later.

After making a few more small farms and causing trouble with his cows, he started working on his base more, making a glass bottle around the shipwreck. It was a bit troubling since he ran out of the glass he wanted to use and ended up using two different colours of glass.

During the building Mao decided to start spamming his communicator, as always. Sometimes, the brunette made him want to snap his communicator in half, but he hadn't dared to yet. He had thought Mao had spammed him, but looked like he had been wrong after a glance at his communicator.

cubfan135: There's someone on the spawn.
ZombieCleo: X, who did you invite this time?
Xisuma: I didn't invite anyone?
Xisuma: Are you sure they aren't a Hermit?
Docm77: They're not.
Docm77: They're injured, and badly.
Stressmonster101: I'll come there with healing supplies.
falsesymmetry: There's no logging in message.
Xisuma: That's really weird.

          Grian pulled out his Watcher screen and took a look at the chat through it. There he saw the message that he had kinda feared.

ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷᒲᔑ╎リᔑ↸ᒲ╎リᒲᔑ𝙹 has joined the game.

His brother had somehow logged to Hermitcraft, and it wasn't a good thing. Now he had to hurry to the spawn before there would be any trouble. He didn't want to accidentally get his cover blown immediately. Just bad for him that he didn't have an elytra.

          A knife pierced through his back. He gaped for air as he felt the wave of pain hit him with full force. The pain hit so hard that he knew he would never be able to spread his beautiful (dark, dangerous, ruined, cursed) winged. ("A Watcher isn't supposed to have dark wings", The voices would whisper.) He became bound to the group. A Watcher that would fly ever again.

           The message (Or was it a memory?) made his spine shiver. He kept seeing those, but he still had no idea what they were and what was causing them. He wanted to know, but for some reason he felt like he couldn't.

The strawberry blonde shook his head, he had to ignore that and hurry to the spawn to save his troublesome brother from dying, or something like that. He was pretty sure Mao was fine, but he also knew how his siblings could be: always in trouble, just like him.

         Rowing a dinky little box called a boat all the way to the spawn was kinda annoying, but he managed to hurry and make it there before there would be any huge problems.

On the island was laying an unconscious brunette male with a few deep slashes on his skin, crimson soaking through his light purple cloak.

Grian grimaced and pulled his communicator to his ear, calling The Main HQ's line. It was a way to get connected to one of the members, who were currently in the HQ.

"Anyone there? I have a problem", He said, not knowing if someone would answer his call. Luckily he heard a familiar voice answer, "ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ∷𝙹𝙹ꖌ╎ᒷ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ꖎᒷᓭꖎ╎ᒷ ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ, ╎ ᓵᔑリ ⍑ᒷᔑ∷ ||𝙹⚍", Leslie said.

"ᒲᔑ𝙹's by Hermitcraft's spawn. I need someone to pick him up", Grian spoke quietly, not wanting to draw any extra attention to himself.

"⍑𝙹∴ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ⍑ᒷꖎꖎ ↸╎↸ ⍑ᒷ ᒲᔑリᔑ⊣ᒷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ↸𝙹 ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ?" Leslie exclaimed at the same time as Grian heard a sound of something dropping on the floor. He was pretty sure that had been a pen that she had dropped, and his guess was immediately confirmed as Leslie continued, "ᓭ⍑╎ℸ ̣ ! ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ⊣𝙹ᒷᓭ ᔑリ𝙹ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ !¡ᒷリ ⚍リ↸ᒷ∷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ʖ𝙹𝙹ꖌᓵᔑᓭᒷᓭ. ᒲᔑ𝙹'ᓭ ⊣𝙹リリᔑ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ᒷ ᒲᒷ."

"Just send someone here", Grian hissed and glanced at the injured Main Admin, who was currently getting treated by Stress and Doc as Xisuma was trying to figure out the identity of the unexpected visitor.

"𝙹リ ╎ℸ", The female hummed before starting shout someone in another room. Grian just hung up the call, not wanting the Hermits to see him and get suspicious.

"Does anyone know who they are?" Xisuma looked at the small group of the Hermits, who had out of curiosity gathered on the spawn island to check out, who had unexpectedly joined them.

"What's happened to h- them?" Grian asked and glanced at his brother. He had almost used Mao's he/him pronouns. He knew the Hermits didn't know his gender so they used they/them to be sure not to misgender them accidentally, so if he hadn't fixed his mistake he would have seemed either suspicious or disrespectful.

"They have a lot of deep cuts. We don't have enough things to help them, but we managed to get them stable", Stress turned to look at Grian, who noticed that her hands were coloured with a dark crimson liquid. Next to her was a white towel that was completely soaked in the crimson blood, making it look less white and more like a murder weapon.

Xisuma raised his eyes from his admin screen again, "I can't find anything about them", He said. That was obvious. Mao was a Main Admin; his player code was too strong to show up in a normal admin screen. "I think we might have to contact someone else to help us", The admin continued.

Before anyone got a chance to say anything, something crash-landed into a tree behind them, giving everyone quiet a scare.

The Hermits turned around to look at an orange haired Main Watcher, who had gotten tangled up in the tree from her dark purple, now bloodstained, cloak. Her dark purple wings were going through the branches too.

"Oh my fucking Irene!" She exclaimed and tried to somehow spin around to get out of the trouble she had gotten themselves into, but the situation just got worse as now she was completely tangled up. "Help", she whined with an innocent smile on her lips.

Grian pretended to hesitate before stepping closer to the tree to help the little tornado out of the trouble she had gotten themselves into. He was lucky to be the closest one to the tree. No one could be suspicious as he tried to help her down.

"How the fuck did you manage to get stuck this badly?" He groaned quietly as he tried to figure out how to free her. It wasn't an easy task because she had managed to glitch inside the branches.

"I wasn't whitelisted, so I had to get in somehow. Turns out crossing the barrier here ain't as easy as it is in some worlds", Sherenidy answered before she dropped head-first on the ground under the tree. She whined and rubbed her head before standing up and hurrying to her injured brother.

"ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᒲᔑ╎リ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ᓭ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷリ╎↸||, can you please explain?" Xisuma politically asked from the Main Watcher, who he recognized.

"I'm here to pick up my brother. He glitched here as we tried to toss him back to the Main HQ. I hope he hasn't caused any trouble", Sherenidy turned her head towards Xisuma.

"That's ᒲᔑ╎リ ᔑ↸ᒲ╎リ ᒲᔑ𝙹?" The admin glanced guardedly at the visitor. Now that he look, it became clearer that he was the 2nd in command of The Council.

"That's correct. Thank you for taking care of him! I would say more, but I have to hurry back to the HQ with him", Sherenidy nodded to Xisuma and flashed everyone an apologizing smile before pulling out her Watcher screen and disappearing with her brother.

"Good to know ᒷ∷∷𝙹∷ is getting stronger", Xavier said, reminding Grian of his existence.

'I have a bad feeling about this..' Grian answered and began heading back towards his base with his dinky little boat. 'Something is gonna go wrong', he whispered to the Fallen inside his head.

A bloodied battlefield. Forcefields breaking down under the creatures powers. Bodies and separated limps flying to all the directions. A lot of pain. Eyes full of fear and regret. "I'm sorry", Is what the person says.

[30.9.2021]

(I need your honest opinion. Does this story contain too much oc scenes? I need to know that. But also this rewrite will involve more Hermitcraft too because I'm actually watching Grian's Hermitcraft season 6 through for the first time ever so I can get more Hermitcraft involved)

(It's Kasen's birthday!)

(You can actually see my little chair there. It's a fun thing to play with (using my legs) while doing something on my phone. Don't ask how many times it has crashed to the floor or some other furniture-)

(Anyways, Kasen is at the current part of the story 19 (in 2018) In ANE he died at the age of 20, almost 21, I think-)

(Facts about this child:

1. He and Irwin are the ones, who pretend to be the youngest, or rather act childish. In reality Sherenidy is the youngest and there's many others who are younger than they.

2. Kasen is part of the Chaotic-squad with Xelqua, Chet and Upton.

3. He's also Alden's left side, making him the 7th in command. Eddy's the right side and 6th in command.

4. He and Mao are the ones, who come up with most of the nicknames to the other members.

5. Kas actually died in ANE. He was tossed through the window and Sam ripped his head off after he had already died. Does he die in the rewrite? We don't know yet if I decide to commit a mass murder of my own characters-)

(I'm also gonna warn you that I might not post that much next month because its Halloween and I finally want to do something for Goretober. So, I'm gonna be writing a new oneshot to ao3 everyday. I'm not that good at writing gore, but at least there's Grian angst because all those oneshots are about Grian. ((My ao3 is Shiro89)))
