[Grian]

I opened my eyes to see the white roof of the medical center. I looked around in confusion before I remembered what had happened. My eyes found Haylie standing next to my bed. She was looking at her communicator and didn't notice the fact that I was awake right away. I tried to get up but she noticed and gently pushed me back.

"You seem to be coming here a lot now days," The blonde Watchers smirked.

I laughed, or at least tried to laugh. I was no longer in pain but I still felt a bit weak. I moved my eyes back to the blonde and waited for her to say something.

"You are going to be alright in a couple of hours. The potion did really kick you hard, so you might feel a bit weak for a while," She explained.

"Thank you," I gave her a smile and a nod.

"No problem! This is my thing after all!" She gave me a bright smile. I knew how much she loved helping others.

"Where are the Hermits?" I asked her.

"Oh, right! ᓭ⍑ᒷリ is with them in the living room, I guess. She'll make sure their all alright and won't let anything bad to happen!" Haylie explained giving me another of her beautiful smiles.

"Okay, I trust ᓭ⍑ᒷリ with them," I answered.

"Yeah, everyone trust her with everything," The blonde joked and I let out a small giggle.
"But now, would you like to meet the Hermits? I can ask ꖌᔑᓭᒷリ to go get them," She said looking at me.

"Okay, that's alright," I gave her a smile.

She smiled back before walking away and closing the curtain behind her. Now the magic in the small area was lighter since Haylie was somewhere else, it didn't really bother me though. I could hear the noises from the room behind the curtains. I heard Haylie speaking in Galactic to someone, who I assumed to be Mao. It wasn't loud enough for me to hear but I managed to understand a couple of words. Mao was talking about holding a meeting since now most of the Mains are allowed to do stuff again. Then their conversation was cut off by people entering the room. I heard Kasen's and Sherenidy's voices and the Hermits seemed to be there too.

Then the curtain was opened and my server mates were all around me. They were all around me asking questions and sounded worried and relieved. My eyes drifted to the orange haired Watcher behind them. She noticed me and moved her lips making words 'We'll talk about this later'. I gave her a really slight nod hoping the Hermits wouldn't notice. Then I moved my focus to my server mates all around me.

     I had explained the Hermits that I had accidentally drunk the wrong potion and they seemed to believe it. Now everything was alright and I was no longer feeling weak. The others decided that the Civil War would be on hold for one day so I could get some rest. Now I was in my own base. It felt like I hadn't been here in a long time since I had spent so much time in the G-team base. I was laying on my bed and staring the ceiling. My communicator buzzed and I took it out.

¬The Mains¬

Sherenidy
All Admin and Watcher
meeting at 18.20! (17.56)

Mao
Everyone invited! (17.56)

Kasen
About? (17.57)

Sherenidy
A Rookie has died trying to
defeat it all by herself... (17.57)

Chet
The Rookies are getting
selfish... (17.58)

Edita
Yep. Most of them are... (17.58)

Alden
We have to hold a private
meeting with the Leads
tomorrow about that. (17.59)

Sherenidy
Yes, something has to be done. (17.59)

Upton
Definitely. (17.59)

Mao
We might need to (17.59)
Redo the Rookie trials (18.00)
To see which ones (18.00)
Are actually wroth it (18.00)

Edita
Let me give a wild guess. (18.01)
We have around 200 Rookies
and only 50 are actually worth it. (18.02)

Kasen
Or less than 50. (18.02)
It's so easy to become a
Rookie so people want to
become one just to flex
with their title... (18.03)

Alden
That is the problem. We might need
to make the trial harder. (18.04)

Sherenidy
Yep (18.04)

I put my communicator back to my pocket. The Rookies had became a problem during the last few months. Ever since Error had appeared. The didn't understand why the Mains didn't let them fight and started becoming jealous. We tried to explain how it wasn't easy to fight against a creature we knew nothing about, but they didn't believe it. We definitely had to redo the trials, there were so many admins and Watcher who wanted to be Rookies just to help. We needed more that kind of Rookies and not those toxic people who just wanted to be known.

I sighed and took out my communicator again. I told my team mates that I was going to see my friend. I didn't want to worry them by just leaving without saying anything. I logged off of Hermitcraft.

{The Main World}

I opened my eyes to see the telepoting area. I started walking towards the HQ. I was still in my "Grian-clothes" so I headed behind the HQ and used the entrance there. I stepped in to the building and started heading towards my room.

The HQ is like a labyrinth. I have gotten used to it and know where everything it but it takes a couple of minutes to walk from the back entrance to the main hallway, which has all of the bedrooms. It was around three minutes walk to my room. I quickly opened the door and walked into my room between Upton's and Winslow's rooms.

I opened my closet and took out my Watcher clothes. I quickly summoned my Watcher magics and my halo and wings appeared and my eyes turned purple. I took my cloak and mask and put them on. I pulled the hood on and put on my cloves. I took a look in the mirror. My normal clothes didn't show from under the cloak, which was a good thing. I didn't want people to see them, especially because we weren't supposed to be wearing normal clothes under the cloaks. We were supposed to wear black jeans and black long-sleeved shirts. I knew that I wasn't the only one who didn't follow that rule. Kasen had always a blue t-shirt and white jeans and Sherenidy had had purple half-long-sleeved shirt and black pants, which were not jeans. Also they probably weren't the only ones, but they were the ones that didn't care if someone saw their clothes. Alden has already given up trying to point that out every time. He didn't like when people didn't follow that rule. Luckily he hadn't seen my clothes yet.

I sighed and turned around. I walked out of the door and headed to the meeting room. I walked into the meeting room and saw Chet, Upton and Mao. Chet was sitting on the tables another side reading a book. I sat on Upton's left side and looked at Mao who was sitting on his right side, on Blake's seat.

"You're still stealing others seats, aren't you?" I smirked.

Upton rolled his eyes when Mao laughed.

"I get lonely there alone," Mao pointed at the right side of the table where was only Chet on the end of the table.

"What about ᓵ⍑ᒷℸ ̣? Are you trying to act like he doesn't exist?" Upton pointed out.

"Hey! No! Sorry ᓵ⍑ᒷℸ ̣!" Mao turned to apologize to the blonde Watcher, who just smirked.

Me and Upton just laughed. We all knew that Chet usually spend his time doing work if he hadn't finished it yet, so he wasn't really socialized before the meetings.

"So, what about the Rookie problem?" I asked looking at the brunette admin.

"We have to hold a meeting about it tomorrow with the Leads. Probably we have to make everyone redo the trials," Mao shrugged.

"Hopefully we can get better Rookies. We really need people who actually want to help us," Upton said.

Mao nodded to his student. I agreed too, we need Rookies who wanted to help.

We turned to look at the door when we heard it open. Oskari walked in and sat on Mao's right side.

"Being the chair thief again, huh?" He pointed out too.

"Of course," Mao smirked.

"He's too broke to buy his own chair, so he uses other's chairs," I joked.

"Hey! None of us gets paid from this!" Mao mentioned.

"Ouch, that's true," Upton laughed.

"Btw, who's holding this meeting?" Oskari asked.

"This meeting is brought to you by our lovely crackhead straight from the original Nether, ᓭ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷリ╎↸||!" Mao smirked.

BONK!

Mao yelped as a metallic-hand hit his head. Sherenidy was standing behind him and crossed her arms.

"Who are you calling a crackhead?" Her voice that usually sounded like a bird's beautiful singing, sounded now cold and deep.

We all shut up and stared at the orange haired Main Watcher. Mao gave her a apology smirk and she rolled her eyes and smiled. We all knew that they were both just joking.

"Now, come on you broke shit, that's not your seat," Sherenidy smirked and started pulling Mao towards his own seat.

He just laughed and said something that made the female Watcher roll her eyes again.

Even though Sherenidy was sitting next to Oskari, we started a new conversation without the Main Leader's hands.

"So, do your servers have Christmas parties?" Oskari asked.

"Me and ʖꖎᔑꖌᒷ have been planning it for more than half a year," Upton admitted. He and Blake owned a serve together, I always forger it's name but it's some kind of mini game server.

"I heard some people talk about it in Hermitcraft. I guess that Xisuma is going to hold one," I answered.

"Great, I'll probably end up to Minplex with my friends. That's what we do every year," Oskari said.

Then the doors opened and everyone walked in. I looked around. There were a lot of people this time. I saw Xisuma come in with Joe and Biffa. The rest of the Mains also appeared from somewhere. It took around five minutes for everyone to find their seats.

"Silence, please!" Sherenidy cut off all of the whispers and everyone focused on her.

I knew that this was going to be a long meeting. And everyone should take this seriously, but probably most of the people weren't going to do that. I moved my whole attention to my mentor as she started talking about how important it is that the Leads and Rookies don't fight against Error. She looked dead-serious as she told how every dead gave more power to the creature. I let my eyes wonder around the room and saw some of the Rookies roll their eyes as if it wasn't a big deal. It was annoying, I hated when they did that.

{Time skip}

     The meeting had finally ended and everyone was staring to leave. I looked at my siblings. Mao and Sherenidy were talking with Alden, Kasen and Edita were running somewhere and everyone else seemed to be doing something. I stood up and walked to my room.

I fell to my bed and kicked my shoes off, I didn't want to get my bed dirty. I also threw my cloak on a chair next to my table. I laid on my back and stared at the ceiling through my mask. I didn't want to take it off. Grian didn't need the mask, but right now I wasn't Grian. I was Xelqua, an admin and a Watcher. I closed my eyes as tears begin to fall down on my cheeks. I remember all of the horrible memories from my past, I hated it. I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my wings around me. I just needed a minute, a minute to breathe, to forget everything again...
