Grian and Mumbo scheduled to meet up and hang out, which was pretty normal. Mumbo got to Grian's base earlier than Grian expected- and was prepared for. Grian was changing shirts when Mumbo walked in and his back was facing him.

Mumbo sucked a breath in when he saw Grians back and his silver colored wings. Grian heard the gasp and turned around to find Mumbo staring back at him in surprise. Nobody said a word. They stayed like that, stuck in silence, for a few, long minutes.

"I-" Mumbo started, but Grian cut him off. "Mumbo, I can explain!"

"Explain? You've been hiding this the entire time we've known each other, you can't just explain!"

"I'm sorry, I just-" Grian tried to explain again.

"What? Didn't trust me?" Mumbo spat at him.

"No, not that!"

"Then what?"

That brought back the silence between them. Mumbo slowly took a step forward, then another, and another and he kept going until they were a foot away. Mumbo was looking at Grian's face the entire time, but his eyes wandered to his back. "Don't look at me like that."

"How else am I supposed to look at you?" For the third time, the silence was summoned, with Grian looking at his feet and Mumbo looking at Grian. "I'm gonna go," was the last thing Mumbo said before he took off with his elytra.

Mumbo landed in his base and sat down, rethinking everything he and Grian had done over the span of their friendship. 'Friendship' he thought. Was it even friendship if Grian didn't trust him enough to share his secret with him? He thought their friendship was genuine with no hidden secrets. If Grian was hiding something as big as this, was he hiding other things?

As these thoughts were running through Mumbo's head, he had an idea, one that would ruin Grian's life forever. He called a company that dealt with beings like him. After giving them all the details he could give them, they said they would be there in an hour to pick him up. Mumbo decided to call another place, a news channel, but he didn't stop there, he wouldn't stop until the entire world knew about what Grian was.

As Mumbo was thinking about Grian, he was struck with sudden guilt. What did he do? Grian probably wanted to protect himself from the dangers of the world, dangers like Mumbo. But Mumbo had to come in and shove him in harm's way. He had to see if Grian was still safe.

Mumbo took flight in a familiar direction and landed inside of Grian's base, but he was nowhere to be found. Had they already taken him? It hadn't been an hour yet, but it was close to. What if they took him? Mumbo had to rescue Grian if that was the case.

Once Mumbo found out where the company's headquarters was, he sped there, flying as fast as his elytra could take him until he saw the tall, ominous tower looming over the surrounding area.

As soon as Mumbo entered the building, he heard yellingcoming from a door. The door lead downstairs and there he found Grian struggling against five guards. 'That's impressive' thought Mumbo 'five guards'.

Mumbo ran towards the fight and took out his sword and a spare one for Grian. "Here," he said as he offered his spare sword to Grian. Grian looked up at Mumbo, his face had scratches all over it and he was crying, Mumbo instantly felt guilty, he caused Grian's pain and suffering. Mumbo's sudden appearance startled the guards and their attention was all on Mumbo.

Grian took this opportunity and ran from the building, eager to leave as quickly as possible. That left Mumbo, alone. After long minutes of struggling, Mumbo managed to make it out alive.

"Should I check up on him?" Mumbo asked himself. After minutes of pondering the question, he came to a decision. He would visit Grian. Time to see if he would regret his choice.
