The Tale of an Evolutionist

6

Dream was awoken by a rustling sound. It was the middle of the Night. He slowly got up quietly unsheathed his sword, preparing for whatever was going to attack him. His parrot was still asleep in his bag. Out of nowhere, someone attacked. It was too dark to see who it was but Dream blocked the black sword. It was not like any other sword he had ever seen, it wasn't like a netherite sword. It was made out of a black material Dream had never seen.

Their fight was evenly matched. Just when it appeared that one of them was winning the other turned it the other way around. Sweat drops rolled down from Dream's forehead. He heard a familiar swishing of something flying through the air. He barely avoided the arrow, it just barely wounded his side. But thanks to that distraction the anonymous attacker managed to land a hit on Dream, injuring his leg. With pain going through his body Dream grabbed his bag and made a run for it. It wasn't easy to run, especially considering his leg was about to give up, blood dripping from it leaving a small trail of blood. But of course, the chase had to come to an end, with Dream being cornered by now two attackers with a ravine behind him. Dream glanced down into the ravine. There was a deep river area, if he could just make it...No that would be suicide, but it's my only option. Dream looked back at the attackers, he took a deep breath and jumped.

Grian was proud of his work. He has successfully created a hobbit tunnel to Mumbo's house. Adding a few finishing touches here and there he almost didn't hear the steps of Mumbo searching through his chests. Thankfully his past had made his senses sharper, he stayed quiet listening for any sign that indicated that Mumbo was aware of his presence.

Mumbo on the other hand was just searching through his chests. Completely unaware of the other hermit hiding behind the wall of his Nether portal.

But of course, Grian being Grian had to have a little fun. He dug a small hole into the wall just enough so his whole face could look through. Smiling he watched Mumbo be confused as to the whereabouts of his iron. He looked up from a chest and spotted the hole in the wall. He heard a door close. Of course, Mumbo had to investigate. He continued digging through the wall until he was able to fit through. He was shocked to discover the secret room. He didn't know any Hermit that would do this. But there was one person, No he's not here Mumbo you need to stop dreading the past. But still, it could be possible.

He opened the birch doors to discover a tunnel. He grabbed a minecart and followed the tracks. It was a very long tunnel but eventually, it ended. He found himself inside of another Hobbit Hole. There was no one there but there clearly was a few minutes ago. There were footprints on the floor and purple feathers on the floor. Wait...purple feathers? Which Hermit had purple feathers? he took another step only to activate a trap pouring water on him.

The now drenched mustached man heard a small giggle, then a cackle, and soon it turned into a very familiar laugh. A figure floated down from the ceiling. My eyes widened, "Grian?" "Hello Mumbo"

Doc had been watching all of it. From Grian building the tunnel to the small reunion that took place. So Mumbo knows him huh? he thought. Guess I have something to report to Xisuma. Doc took his Elytra and flew to X's base. He landed right in front of him. After Doc explained what he had seen Xisuma was lost in thoughts. How would Mumbo know him? Did they meet before? "Hello? earth to Xisuma" Doc said snapping him out of his thoughts. "Oh uh sorry I was just...thinking" Doc just shrugged and flew away. I should talk to Mumbo about this Xisuma thought, just as he was about to fly off, he got a ding on his communicator. He took a look at it and frowned, it was from Hypixel, he was called in for a meeting. 

30 minutes later Xisuma was sitting in the meeting room, waiting for Hypixel to arrive. Xisuma noticed that Dream was not present. The masked man was usually sitting on the seat beside Hypixels, but today he was nowhere to be seen. X frowned at that, he was usually always present. Just then Hypixel arrived and the meeting started. "As some of you may have noticed Dream had not joined us, the reason for that is that he's missing" gasps were heard around the room. Hypixel continued, "we sent him to explore a newly discovered island but he hasn't contacted us nor can we locate his communicator." Xisuma was shocked, he hadn't expected Dream to be in danger, because well, it's Dream. "I've sent a search party of low rank but experienced admins, I haven't heard anything from any of them." 

Before he could continue he was interrupted by an admin, "Sorry to interrupt but could you please tell us why you have called this meeting?" "Right yes, the reason I have called this meeting is that something was discovered on a small server. A portal out of bedrock with a sign that said, 'We will return - Watchers'" The room erupted with questions and arguing admins. Hypixel tried his best to calm everyone down but without Dream, no one seemed to listen. Xisuma snuck out to get some peace. His mind was filled with questions. He ignored the multiple beeps from his communicator. I'm sure it's not important probably just a glitch or so he thought as he turned it off.

He took a stroll through the garden that connected to the admin building. How does this all connect? What does Grian have to do with this? unsure of what to do he opened his communicator again to check what those beeps were about. He almost dropped it, the messages were from Doc. 

Doc: X HELP SOME WEIRD PEOPLE WITH GREY SKIN CAME  ON THE SERVER AND BURNED DOWN THE SHOPPING DISTRICT

Doc: THEY TOOK GRIAN 

Doc: X?

Doc: Oh god they're coming to take the rest of us

Doc: We are going to hide in the bdjewigaulgrtewhfr

Don't you just love it when things end on a cliffhanger? especially when you can control what happens next.  I can already see the author planning out the next events. How marvelous. This is getting better and better. What's that? Do you want to know about Dream? Oh, he's fine, at least if you consider being unconscious in a ravine on an unknown island as fine.
