The end

TW: Permadeath

Time:10 years after Hermitcraft S7

"Hermitcraft? I haven't heard that name in years."

Grian looked at the young man sitting in front of him

"You want to know why it ended, right?"

The young man nodded, curiosity lighting up his eyes

"It all happened one month after the end of the Turf War. I was at X's base, where he was taking me on a tour of everything he's done up until that point. I asked him to show me the place a week prior, and that was the first time we both had nothing to do."

"While we were standing on the highest tower, looking out over everything, X lost his balance, and fell down. His elytra was broken, and when I tried to catch him, I couldn't hold on, and he hit the ground quite hard. I landed next to him, and noticed the small, shaking heart on his health bar. However, something didn't look right about it. It was a hardcore heart. His health bar dropped to half a heart, and suddenly the server started shutting down."

"I didn't realize what was happening. I just picked him up and flew to the hub portal, where the other hermits were going through. Just as the last hermit, Jevin, came through, X took his last breath, and then the portal shattered, leaving us standing or sitting there, not saying anything, but knowing what happened."

"A week later, we held a memorial service for X, with many other Minecrafters joining itvto pay respect for one of the greatest Admins ever. Then the hermits went in their mostly separate ways, but still keeping contact. Some joined other servers. Some got married. Every year, on Xisuma's death anniversary, we would all get together somewhere quiet, and it would be a little reunion of sorts. In fact, it's his 10th death anniversary in a week."

"We all miss Hermitcraft, we really do, but at least we had that time together."

Broken

"Scar, Scar, what happened?"

"Those ravagers- are stronger- than I thought. Please Bdubs, it hurts- so much."

"Calm down Scar, I'm gonna take you to Tango's base, he knows everything about those beasts."

"Okay"

Bdubs pulled his friend, who was a lot lighter than he thought, onto his back, then flew to Toon Town, making sure to fly as smoothly as possible. Lucky for them the base was quite close to the shopping district, and they quickly landed in the sorting tower.

"Tango? Tango! Where are you? I need your help!"

"Hey Bdubs, something wrong?"

"It's Scar. He was attacked by ravagers and you were the first person I could think of."

Tango looked at the man on Bdubs's back,  then helped move him to a bed he left in the corner. They then took off his blood-soaked jacket.

"They really did quite a lot of damage. Lucky for you the horns didn't reach your heart, otherwise you'd be dead."

"Will- will he make it?"

Tango looked up

"I'm not sure. He probably will, but there's always a chance-"

One week later

"Hey Scar, I got you some flowers. They're not the best, but I know you'll love them."

Scar sat up to see his friend standing at the door, holding a bunch of liles in his hand.

Bdubs walked in and placed the flowers next to Scar's bed, then have him a little pat on the head.

"I'm glad to see you're feeling better Scar. Grian will come visit you again later. Goodbye."

He then walked out of the room, and flew back to his own base.

Ok, here's how it could have ended

"Hey Scar, I got you some flowers. They're not the best, but I know you'll love them."

Bdubs looked at the gravestone of his dead friend. He sighed, and sat down.

"I really miss you Scar. Hermitcraft doesn't feel the same without you. Jellie has stopped looking for you, and I think I will bring her with me next time I come visit you. Last night she heard me crying and decided to snuggle in with me. Grian hasn't really left his base yet. He still hasn't gotten over the fact that you're not here anymore. I've been talking to him quite a lot over time, and he agreed to join me when I bring Jellie."

Bdubs wiped the tears from his face, then stood up.

"Goodbye Scar, whether you are."

And then he flew away
