{ Chapter two }

As Mumbo and Iskall sat around the portal.

They waited for any sign of Grian for half an hour. During this time, the portal's colour had switched from the normal purple, to a lime greenish colour. Neither of them knew what that meant so they decided to leave the portal alone for now. They'd get Xisuma to look at it later.

"He should be back by now Iskall.. He's a fast flyer, he knows his way around the server-"

Mumbo paced around Iskall's base, worry evident on his face.

"Relax man, give him a bit more time, we don't know how far this took him. For all we know he could be half way across the world!"

Iskall put a hand on Mumbo's shoulder and the mustached man sighed and sat down. He trusted Grian and his flying abilities, but he didn't trust the small hermit not to get into some kind of trouble. Grian often got into trouble without even realizing it, so Mumbo was worried. After a few more minutes of waiting around the portal,

"Alright, let's go get 'Suma. I think your paranoia's starting to rub off on me."

Iskall laughed slightly, but there was concern hidden in his eyes. He helped Mumbo up and they quickly left a note in case Grian came back while they were out, then headed for Xisuma's base. Luckily for them, the Admin was there. He seemed to be having a conversation with Joe, but they couldn't make out what the two were saying from how far up they were. Once they were close enough however, they could make out words, but it didn't sound like a language either of the Architechs knew. Xisuma waved off Joe as he propelled himself out of the Admin's base. The two Architechs landed and Xisuma quickly waved as they approached.

"Hey you two! I didn't think I'd be seeing you around here. I thought the Architechs were working on Sahara?"

The Admin walked backwards towards the entrance to his base, facing them and signaled for them to follow him. Iskall nervously scratched the back of his neck and looked towards Mumbo. Neither of them knew exactly how to tell the Admin what happened with the portal.

"We were working on Sahara but uh- Could- Could we tell you inside?"

The Admin hesitated then nodded and gave them both confused looks. Xisuma lead them inside and they sat down on his couch as he made some tea.

"So, what can I help you two with? I doubt you came here simply to chat and uh, where's Grian?"

"That's uh.. Why we're here, actually."

Xisuma gave Mumbo a puzzled look as he sat down and poured some tea for them. It was difficult to read the Admin's expression since his face was hidden by his helmet. But he looked a little worried, and very tired.

"Elaborate please?"

"I was kind of making a portal-system-thing at my base since it broke numerous times in the 1.14 chunks- no clue why- and we were taking a break from building Sahara. I said that I needed to test it- G jumped at the opportunity to test a portal and uh-"
