Chapter 29

Xel frowned, sensing the others watching in shock. He usually wasn't one to kill but he deserved it.

Mumbo was curled protectively around Grian with Iskall and Doc standing in front of them.

Xel pocketed the sword, thus disappearing from sight.

The others looked around confused until Poultry man came back around the doorway, an arm across his stomach, clutching his side.

Cleo stood weakly and growled. "Who are you?!" She demanded.

Poultry man chuckled, his voice a bit strained. "Are you really asking that now?"

Cleo nodded firmly. "We have to be cautious."

He nodded. "Fair enough. I'm Poultry Man. Or at least that's what you all know me as." He spotted Mumbo fretting over Grian while occasionally glancing over. "Is he alright?"

Cleo growled. "Not your concern."

"Actually it is." he replied, narrowing his eyes. "I swore myself to protect him. I've already let him down. I don't intend to do so anymore."

Cleo narrowed her eyes. "Why should we trust you?"

Poultry man sighed. "We don't have time for this. Many of you are injured, especially Gri." He glanced over at him again. "Evil Xisuma will be coming soon. I don't know where his respawn is. So you can either accept my help or refuse it but I'm going to help him."

Cleo started to argue when Joe spoke up. "Cleo, I think it'd be wise of us to accept the help. None of us are in particularly great shape right now. Besides, Grian said Poultry man came to help."

Cleo sighed. "Fine."

Poultry man smiled a little. "Thank-"

"Grian!" Mumbo cried, catching their attention.

Poultry man quickly hurried over, careful not to step on anyone. "What's wrong?"

Mumbo was shaking. "He... He stopped breathing. It's back now but... It scared me... He's getting weaker..."

Poultry man was now able to see how injured poor Grian was and the muzzle on his face. He reached for the muzzle, stopping hearing some growls. "Please. Let me get it off of him."

The growls stopped and he grabbed the knife EX had tried to use on him and carefully cut the straps and removed the muzzle.

The silence in the room allowed everyone to hear Grian's small gasp for air once it was off.

Mumbo sighed with some relief as Poultry man turned to Tango and Jevin who had been freed from his bottle prison. "Is there any healing or regen potions?"

Jevin nodded and he and Tango went to get them.

Poultry man stood and opened a chest, finding some wool and a water bottle and pulled them out. He carefully pulled the wool apart to use like a cloth and poured some water on it to clean Grian's wounds.

He gave Grian a little bit of regen and wrapped the wound temporarily. He stood and started moving ingredients into an ender chest in the room. He moved the stand in there too along with the recipe and potions before taking the chest as well.

"Alright. We gotta go." He knelt to pick up Grian. "May I?" He asked Mumbo who nodded.

He scooped him up carefully and placed him in his sweater. He saw Mumbo was struggling to stand so he carried him around his shoulders.

Jevin and Impulse rose in his pockets.

"Alright. Um..." He looked at Xisuma before pulling out a bucket of water. "Here." He started pouring the water on the ground allowing X to slide across it and they all left the room and hurried to the exit.
