●warning: character death, blood●
This takes place in season 9

3rd person

Grian being the usual flying gremlin he is was flying around the entity and trying to figure out what to do. Suddenly he realized that he needed to restock the rock just below him. He knew that the materials he needed were near the mountains by his and mumbos base. On the way over there he passed by several hermits and waved hi to each giving them all warm smiles that could light up anyone's day.
Finally reaching his destination he saw mumbo working on his base and laying a couple of dripstone along the ground. Grian flew around and grabbed materials that he would need. Still in the air grian messaged mumbo if he needed anything before he landed. Mumbo already had everything he needed so he told grian no. The day passed on as the day was slowly becoming dusk
Grian was circling the space where mumbo was, which was where the dripstone were. All of the sudden all hermits that were on the sever at the time received a message from xisuma;

Xisuma: Due to some glitch in the sever that brings the temperature below freezing I have to disable any use of magic . The sever is also stuck on hardcore mode. Stay safe and try not to die (looking at you scar)

Since grian was taken in by the watchers after EVO he had some features of the great feared beasts. Grian mainly used his magic to hide the parts that would confuse many that didn't know his backstory. But since xisuma disable any magic including watcher magic his ears were replaced with small wings on both sides of his head. He also had a tail come from behind him. Grian noticing the tail used it to help fly.
And then the sky became darker allowing the hostle mobs to come out and spawn. A skeleton with a flame bow saw grian and shot the arrow. It was already starting to get freezing cold, so the flame on the bow froze and made a ice arrow (something I made up that when come contact with something frezzes that whole part of the body). It landed bullseye on grians wing while he was fighting against the cold wind to get to mumbo. Mumbo saw all this happen and ran back inside to try and find something that could catch grian. Mumbo gave up knowing he was wasting precious time and ran back outside. He (mumbo) thought his best bet was to catch grian before he made contact with the ground. The wind whipped around mumbo nipping at his cheeks which were now bright red.
Grian knew that he was falling, he knew that he couldn't save himself with the arrow in his wing. He even checked his inventory to see if he had anything to slow his fall. He didn't. Grian twisted his whole body, back facing the ground and braced himself for the fall.
Mumbo saw that he had miscalculated where grian was going to fall. He ran towards the dripstone that had their points facing upwards right where grian was falling. Mumbo ran faster than he ever could reaching the dripstone before grian crashed and died. He took his pickaxe out and started hacking away at the dripstone trying to get the ones grian was closest to. Mumbo only had one more left before
Thunk
Grian felt the wind leave his lungs, he tried to breath but his torso had a terrible burning sensation. He felt the warm blood drip from his back onto the stone that impaled him. Blood dripped from his mouth and he could taste the iron in his blood. He felt sleepy and started to close his eyes when a familiar face and voice entered his brain.
Mumbo looked at his cru- no friend he told himself with this big piece of stone sticking (666 words here) through him. He slowly lifted grian from the stone trying to be as careful as possible. He tried to ignore the groans coming from the small figure but he couldn't. It didn't matter that the wind could drown out the lowest screams and that his crush was a watcher. Crush? Mumbo was confused by the thought. He quickly dismissed it and continue working on getting grian out.
After a little bit mumbo finally got grian out and took him inside. Mumbo knew the end was close for his friend the hole in him couldn't be helped. Even mumbo who was terrible at healing knew that. Mumbo had the dark red blood all over his hands but he didn't care all he knew was that he had to get grian inside and try to settle everything. Once they were inside mumbo laid grian on his lap and gently played with his hair.
Grian slowly opened his eye although they were still laced with the drowsiness that death can only bring. He looked up at mumbo as his vision slowly became cleaer by the second. "I-i-i love y-you m-m-mumbly" grian said before trying to take a breath agian. "I love you too grian, I love you more than anything this world has to offer" mumbo replied unable to contain his emotions any more. "T-t-t-take this" grian said taking off the necklace he had. Mumbo put it on and looked at it. It was a heart shaped pendant, inside was a picture of the both of them before season 8 ended.
Mumbo kissed grian's lips that were still cold from the wind but soft. Then grians eyes fluttered closed and his attempts at breathing ceased. Mumbo covered grian with a blanket not wanting to witness the hole but still able to see the face that makes his heart flutter. With shaking hands mumbo typed in the chat;

Mumbo jumbo: Grian is dead

The chat went nuts asking what is going on and if they should send someone over. Mumbo turned off notifications for chat and sat next to grians corpse finally letting the tears that had came fall down his face. After a little bit mumbo stood up and started to clean any blood that dripped off grian on the way inside. He snatched some flowers that were supposed to be for grian the next day and walked back to where grians dead body laid. Mumbo then started to decorate grians hair with many colored flowers.

(Time skip brought to you by a dead bread boi)

The next day xisuma got the sever back together and many of the hermits made their way to mumbos base. Iskall opened mumbos door and made their way inside with the rest of the hermits on their tail. Inside they saw a mumbo sitting next to a blanket with blond-ish hair covered in flowers. You could tell that mumbo had been crying for a long time; his eyes were bloodshot and puffy, he had tear streams down his cheeks and his eyes were still watery.
Iskall stepped closer and lifted the blanket. They gapsed at the sight and quietly asked mumbo what happened. Mumbo still crying and told the whole story, how grian was flying around, how he tried to get the dripstone out the way, and how he brought grian inside. Iskall scooted closer to mumbo and wrapped their arms around mumbo sobbing quietly. All the hermits were comforting each other as Doc and Ren took grians body outside with a grim look in both on their faces.
They had a funeral for their sun and most took a while to move on. The ones that didn't move on held on to any piece of grian that were left. Mumbo though couldn't abandon grians memory and the hermits forced him to take therapy every other day. He anyways wore the pendant that grian gave him. No one could get it off unless they wanted to fight against mumbo. Mumbo misses grian a lot and has a lot of red parrots in honor of him.
