The Enderhermit

A Door Shuts

AN
Who was expecting a new chapter so soon? I wasn't.
I also wasn't expecting this chapter to be so long but, here we are.
I have a lot of big projects due in these next couple of weeks so please don't expect the next chapter to be so soon.
I know I mentioned this a while ago back in the prologue but, there are still Easter eggs littered around in the chapters. Try to see if you can find any.
A lot of lore is in this chapter.
I hope you enjoy.
End AN.
When Grian got a notification on his communicator and saw Xisuma left a message right after he came back from his meeting, he knew nothing good could come from it.

<Xisumavoid>Meeting in the shopping district in front of the town hall. Now. Mandatory attendance and very time-sensitive.

Xisuma leaving for a last-minute meeting then coming back and is now calling a mandatory meeting? Not a good sign. Most of the time when X has one of the admin meetings, the two of them schedule a time they can both talk and leave it open for anyone else that wants to come.

Grian looks up from his communicator to look at Ren who was standing next to them after they just filled the cowmmercial district with sheep and mooshrooms.

Ren looked just as confused and worried as Grian felt. The two rushed over to the water elevator and hurried out of the ocean, flying towards the town hall. A few Hermits other than Xisuma were already there. Xisuma was staring down at his communicator writing into it, adding onto the continuous beeping coming from the communicators.

"Hey X what is..." Grian starts before he gets interrupted.

"Not right now Grian. I'm waiting for everyone to get here. It's too important for anyone to miss."

Grian looks over to Ren to see his take on the situation only to get a shrug. At least he isn't the only one who has no idea what's happening. The two resistance members walk over to where the other Hermits who have arrived were. Scar was looking out into the fields of sheep muttering something about wolves with Bdubs next to him nodding along, Cub shearing the mushrooms off the back of a mooshroom making their red hide fade into brown, and Tango talking to Impulse and Zedaph. Slowly more Hermits arrive until XB arrives after flying from his base.

At some point during the waiting Xisuma started pacing ignoring any attempts to talk to him.

"Shashwammy?" Keralis said, getting X's attention.

X rubbed his hand on the back of his helmet. "Everyone here? Good. As many of you know, I was just at a meeting in Hub. The meeting... did not go as expected. They were wanting the two of the other admins and myself to give up admin rights to our worlds."

There was an uproar at that. Everyone knows that admins can have a lot of control over their world. Hermitcraft being a multiplayer whitelisted world being even more so. If Xisuma were to lose being the admin over Hermitcraft, whoever took the position would have full control over who can join the world.

"We didn't lose it though," he continued causing everyone to go quiet

"We were able to keep it by... leaving the council."

"X doesn't that mean," Mumbo starts.

Xisuma nods, "we are getting disconnected from the portals. We were given 24 hours before the disconnect. This is why we're having this meeting. We aren't sure when or if we will be reconnected or if we can find a buffer world to travel through to get to their connection."
