TW for character death

This part of the story is written through my (Mumbo's) perspective.

I always enjoyed looking over at the shopping district. Sitting up on top of the tallest building and watching the world go by. Every day was different. A new building would pop up here and renovations would be done there. It was chaos... But it was our home.
There were so many talented builders. Such different styles and techniques. Many of them clashed but at the same time it looked good. Polar opposites combining to create a chaotic but glorious mess.
I let out a small, but happy, sigh as the sun set over the district. However, the smile on my face faded as a gust of wind flew past me. I brought a hand to my neck, the scars from the head games still present. Sometimes it still hurt.. Well being decapitated over and over for the sake of a sick and twisted game is pretty painful. Though that's my fault for signing up..
Suddenly, a larger gust of wind went past me as I tried to stand. I lost my balance and fell off of the rooftop. In a state of panic I forgot how to open my elytra. I flailed my arms around and squinted my eyes shut.
Impact to the ground was excruciatingly painful. But it only lasted a few seconds. For those brief moments I stared up into the sky, my vision blurry and going dark.
My eyes shot open to find myself back in a familiar surrounding. My hobbit hole, the bed in my hobbit hole to be specific. A message popped up in front of me simply saying "Mumbo Jumbo fell from a high place". In frustration I simply pushed the message aside, watching as it disappeared.
I put my head in my hands and let out a loud sigh. I was lucky the only thing I had on me was my elytra and a few loose rockets... But then it hit me. I was also carrying a poster.
Immediately, I jumped up. I grabbed my spare elytra and a handful of rockets. I ran to my nether portal and went inside. Once in the nether I flew across the roof only stopping once I reached the portal that lead to the shopping district. I went through and immediately began searching.
I turned a corner to hopefully find where my stuff should have been. My eyes widened and I stopped in my tracks when I saw Scar bent down, looking at the poster I had dropped. It was almost like it could sense me because xe immediately stood up and turned to look at me.
"This yours?" Scar asked, tone plain and almost unreadable.
Scar was average height yet a lot smaller then me due to my 6'10" stature. As it's name stated xe was covered head to toe in Scars, those around it's neck a lot more predominant. Ze wore a purple cape with a matching hat as well as boxers and a white undershirt. Somehow I found myself scared of this strange wizard man..
"Yes.." I replied simply, after pausing for far too long.
Scar took another look at the poster and let out a small chuckle. It looked up at me and smiled. A smile that most wouldn't consider friendly.
"Mumbo for Mayor, eh?" Scar scoffed as it started walking towards me
"Oh.. Yes um.. It was Grian's idea. He said I would make a good mayor" I stuttered, finding myself slowly walking backwards
"Well then it looks like we're against each other" Scar laughed as xe handed me the poster
"We are?"
I stopped moving backwards. Sure Scar was a great builder but why would it want to be mayor? Looking down at xim I saw something in xer eyes that I didn't like at all. Gulping, I gave a weak smile.
"Think about it Mumbo. You don't want to embarrass yourself by losing, do you? Maybe it would be best if you just..." Scar started but paused for a moment "Give up. Let me win, no competition. It'll be best for you that way"
Scar turned its back to me and started to walk away. I clenched my fists, the poster I was holding crinkling, and growled slightly. It was doing the thing again. But I wouldn't let xim get to me.
"What makes you think I would lose?" I asked
"Have you looked in the mirror recently Mumbo? I mean no offence but.. You're not exactly.. Mayor material. Maybe you could be an assistant or something!" Scar scoffed, not even turning to look at me.
I opened my mouth to reply but no words came out. Maybe Scar was right.. Why would anyone want me as their Mayor? Would it even be legal? I'm not even full human after all.. I knew others judged me for that. I was different. An outcast..
I closed my mouth and looked down at the ground. Scar turned its head and let out a small laugh. It then opened xis own elytra and flew off. Maybe it was right..

I walked over to where my old Elytra were. They were slightly broken from the impact but otherwise fine. Definitely still able to function. I just needed to mend them. Fortunately, they were enchanted so all I needed to do was get some XP to fix them.
"Mumbo!" A familiar voice called
I turned around to see Grian running towards me, his brows narrowed and concern written all over his face. I gave a weak smile and walked towards him.
"Mumbo, Mumbo are you okay?" Grian asked
"Oh yeah I'm fine! Just lost my balance" I nervously laughed
Grian looked up at me. I could tell he was worried. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug. I had to bend down to reach his height properly but I didn't mind.
"You need to be more careful.. Come on. Let's go get you looked at" Grian sighed

Looking up at the small diamond chandler I let out a slight sigh. Grian had brought me back to his base and sat me on his bed. Grian sat behind me and quietly applied antiseptics to my new wounds. The cream was cold on my skin but I didn't mind.
"Hey Grian?" I whispered
"Yes Mumbo?" Grian replied
"Why do you want me to be mayor?"
Grian paused for a moment. I assumed to collect his thoughts.
"Well for starters, you're a great builder. All of your work is unique and amazing. You're also great at red stone. You could help make the shopping district more advanced. And let's not forget how strong and intelligent you are!" Grian grinned
"Strong and intelligent? Grian you're literally sat cleaning my back because I died again because of how stupid I am.." I muttered, gripping my trousers with closed fists "I'm a failure.."
Grian stood up and moved to stand in front of me. He placed his hands on my shoulders and looked into my eyes. I flinched slightly but looked back at him.
"Mumbo Jumbo you are the strongest person I know" Grian said
I could tell he was being sincere. Quietly I smiled, making Grian smile back. He was and always had been my number one supporter.
