It's been a while since Sahara started and it's been a while since the three have been friends.
In fact it's even next season! It's been so long since they've been friends.
Grian wasn't doing too good on his own but he kept isolating himself until it hurt.

It was a normal, peaceful day. The birds chirping, the sun bright and warm. Even the grass looked more saturated.
Grian walked to hermit challenges as he heard loud screams coming from Mumbo's base.

The builder flew over to mumbo's base only to idle in the air and watch people panic.
The boomers and jevin were here, acting as fire men to keep the fire from spreading to other bases.
Suddenly, iskall called Grian.
"Hello?" Grian asked.
"Grian..." Iskall answered, his voice trembly and chocked up.
"Iskal!? Are you inside mumbo's base?'
"yea... if i don't make it, just remember that it isn't your fault okay...?"
"Shut up, you're going to make it no matter what." Grian confirmed, hanging up and flying into the burning base.
"Grian wait it's dangerous!" Bbdubs yelled.
Grian flew in anyways. The flames surrounding him but he still walked through it, trying to find iskall and Mumbo.

Grian finally found the two. Grian grabbed iskall and brought him near. As he was reaching his hand out for mumbo he realized he was too late. The wooden planks, falling and separating the group. "It's okay Grian.. please leave me." Mumbo smiled, closing his eyes.
Grian sighed as the tears started to kick in. Grian flew out with iskall, the boomers rushing to them and putting iskall in a hospital bed and then into an ambulance.

It's been a month since the incident. Grian had no way to cope and waited for iskall to wake up in the hospital. Neither Mumbo, iskall or Grian uploaded for a month, leaving the fans to make up theories or head cannons about the situation.

Every day he'd stay by iskall's bed and keep him company, even if he wasn't awake yet.
As grian was about to leave he heard beeping. The builder instantly ran to doc and scar to inform them but he found himself too late again.
Iskall's heart beat was gone. His pulse wasn't there anymore.

Grian's froze in place. Petrified. It felt like he lost all hope in the world.
"Grian I.. are you going to be okay..?"
Grian wiped his eyes to keep the tears from flowing out and let out a forced laughter, " Haha.. yea I'm... gonna be alright..."
"Are you sure? You can talk to us if you li-"
"I'm good... just gonna, uh... go." Grian tilted awardly toward the door, his voice cracked and forced as well. He walked outside and walked back to his base.

He felt it more relaxing on foot. But relaxing never lasts long when you have thoughts.

The builder never caught a break. The unwanted thoughts in his head mixing in with the peaceful piano tune that iskall always used to play during sahara meetings. His head filled with pure confusion. Did he feel comforted or did he feel like crying? Hm. Maybe both haha

His communicator went off.
