Grian stares at the book intensely, as if it was not supposed to be here at all.

"Grian mate? Are you okay?" Phil asked noticing the strong grip Grian had on the book "You're clutching that book quite intensely"

Grian's grip softened after this, he gave them an awkward smile

"Sorry about that, where did you find this again?" His voice straining near the end.

"In a stronghold me and Techno came across" Phil answered, a small tinge of worry evident on his face.

Grian let out a hum and opened the book, flipping through the pages.

"There's no use for that, it's in some galactic? Something like that, language. It's impossible to try to even figure out a word" Techno waved his hand off dismissively

"Not quite" Grian answered looking at Techno "I do in fact know this language, granted it's been quite a while"

Phil and Techno gave him a suprised look "You're telling me you can read whatever is on that book?" Techno asked, a hint of disbelief in his voice

"Well, yeah. Although i am pretty rusty so it might take a couple of days" Grian confirmed before turning over to Xisuma and Stress "Can we talk? In private?"

Xisuma gives him a nod and excuses themselves from the guests.

The four is now left alone in the room in silence, that is until Phil decided to speak up.

"So shall we talk about the elephant in the room?" Phil starts, looking at Wilbur,

Techno also looks at Wilbur, part of him still in disbelief seeing Wilbur alive and not a desaturated ghost version.

"What?" Wilbur raises a brow, as if he bad no clue on what they were talking about.

"Don't 'what' us, how are you alive?" Techno asks crossing his arms and squinting his eyes at the supposed-to-be-dead brunet.

Wilbur let go of Tommy's hand and crossed it along with his legs.

"Well, after being stuck in the limbo for thirteen years, Dream arrived in a train holding a crying desaturated version of me and told me to get in. And then i woke up in L'manburg " Wilbur recited as if he had memorized this beforehand.

Techno and Phil was momenteraliy stunned in silence, questions running through their head.

"Ok hold on first of all what do you mean 13 years? You've only been gone 3 months Wil" Phil started , looking at Wilbur confusrd.

"No, i was definetly gone for 13 years" Wilbur insisted.

"Also a desaturated version of you? Are you talking about Ghostbur?" Wilbur scoffed at the name

"Yeah, he was crying and shit looking for 'friend' or something. His face was also sizzling?" Wilbur remembered when the train finally stopped revealing Dream who was holding this 'ghostbur' character.

"S-so are- Dream revived you?" Philza stuttered out, feeling a tiny twinge of guilt from the news of the ghost version of his son.

"Pretty much, yeah. Tommy also stopped by for a couple of months, i'm guessing Dream revived him first" Techno and Phil's eyes widened at this

Did Tommy actually die?

"What do you mean 'Tommy stopped by'?" Techno asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. But he knew exactly what Wilbur meant.

The both of them knew exactly what Wilbur meant.

He was sure that it was a misunderstanding, that Tommy didn't actually die. Because god knows how stubborn that child is! He was too stubborn to die, or atleast that's what Techno thought.

"Tommy died, i only know that he was killed by Dream because that's all he had told me" Wilbur added, barely affected at the such.

The three had now gone back to complete silence. None of them attempting to re-start the conversation.

Tommy had laid there unmoving during the whole thing.

WITH THE HERMITS

"Are you okay Grian?" Stress asked as soon as they were out of earshot, worried about the male.

The Hermits knew what had happened to him before but he had only told them so much. And even then, it felt so fucked up.

"I think.." Grian started, looking at the book in his hand "I think this book is addressed to me"

He looked both of them in the eye. The two shared glances with each other before speaking up

"Addressed to you? How so?" Xisuma asked the brit

"The first page.." Grian flipped the book open to the very first page "It says: for Xelqua if you read the first letters of each sentence"

Grian pointed out to the neat galactic text on the book, specifically pointing at the first letters of each sentence.

The three of them stood there in silence, letting the information sink in

Grian had been over the watchers, he's moved on from them one might say. But it always catches him off guard when the god-like beings are brought up.

"I think we should call a server meeting, to discuss with the others about this" Stress suggested, looking at Xisuma firmly in the eyes.

The other two nodded their head in agreement.

"Yeah we probably should, the others might be able to help out. We can discuss then on what we should do with the other four in there" Xisuma motioned to the guests in the other room.

"Should we bring them to the server meeting? So that everyone can meet them?" Stress asked the admin, tilting her head in question.

"I mean we probably should, so that everyone can meet them and ask them questions up front..." Xisuma trailed off looking at Grian, a look of thought flashes in his eyes.

"What?" Grian asked, confused on as to why the admin is now staring at him

"G, can you watch over them? You did say the book might be addressed to you and if you ever have questions it would be more effective for them to live with you.."

That wasn't the only reason why Xisuma suggested that Grian should take them under his wing for a bit.

Something told him that they seemed to trust him more than Stress and he.

"I mean, i guess that would be ideal. So yeah i can keep watch of them for a while, i have a few spare rooms so i can probably make something, they could stay in one room seeing as they came here together and looks quite close" Grian noticed that he was beginning to ramble so he decided to stop himself.

"Yeah, but we should wait for 'Tommy' to wake up. For safety precautions" Stress piped in.

"Alright then, i guess it's settled. I'll be sure to inform everyone once ive got a date and place set" The other two nodded in acknowledgement.

"Ah, by the way, Grian, luv" Stress turned to Grian "Where's your wings gone?" Stress pointed at the lack of the feathered wing on Grian's back.

"Oh, i didn't know how they would react to avians and stuff so i hid it, better safe than sorry i guess" Grian shrugged

"But i guess it would be fine to show them" 

Grian took off his elytra and unveiled his wings, similar to those of a parrot's.

Grian lets a satisfied smile creep up his face, he loves his wings a lot.

"Welp, the bird gremlin is back. The server is now doomed" Stress dramatically sighed out in defeat

"I'm blowing up the server" Grian giggled out as Xisuma gave a light chuckle.

The three of them talked for a bit more before Xisuma left.

"Well i also best be going, i have to also prepare for my new housemates" Grian chuckled

"Alright Grian, i'll see you around"

The two exchanged their goodbyes and Grian left

Stress entered the room to find the 3 in silence, she felt very awkward there.

"Alright, so you guys will be moving over to Grian's place as soon as Tommy wakes up. And we're gonna be having a server meeting soon" Stress explained grabbing spare beds for them after noticing that it was getting dark.

"Server meeting?" Phil asked the brunette who shuffling through a chest looking for spare beds

"Yeah, we hold them once a couple of months" Stress answered at the same time she found a few extra beds.

"Oh, when's it going to be?" Stress set the beds down as Phil asked this question

"Uhh not sure yet, sometime this week maybe" Stress motions to the beds as if telling them they can sleep there.

"Why do we need to go to Grian's?" Wilbur asked the brunette.

"Xisuma thought that it was the most efficient way, so that if Grian has questions about the book he can just ask you"

"Ah i see"

"Well then, i'm going to leave you guys to it" Stress left them alone in the room once more as she climbed the ladder to the second part of the skull "i'll see you in the morning"

And the peace of the night took over the Hermitcraft server.
