The Statue

The Hermits landed safely on the other side of the portal, they marveled at their new season 6 world. The only strange thing was a statue, it stood in the center of the spawn area and was a bit shorter than most of the Hermits, it depicted a man with a cloak draped over his shoulders, a sweater under it. His face was cover by a weirdly shaped mask with something that looked sort of like a nether portal engraved into it, his other facial featured not covered by the mask showed great distress and the statue had a sword armed into the ground as if it was stabbing something. The Hermits were confused about how this statue got here but left it here thinking it was something important built by the people that were here before. Soon construction started, more and more shops started being built at spawn, bases were starting to be formed. The 1 year anniversary of season 6 was getting closer. Preparations were made and the Hermits had been talking about it for days.

The redstoners had planned out a huge firework display. The rest was setting up a picnic area for the event. The sun was setting and for once in forever Bdubs wouldn't be the one to sleep it away. Xisuma couldn't wait for the fireworks to start. They were all sitting on the pedestal they had built for the statue. Doc pulled a lever and it started. In aw they watched as the colorful sparks lit up the clear night sky. In the end, it was supposed to spell out H E R M I T  instead it said X E L Q U A everyone was confused. "Mumbo what did you do? I told you to type in Hermits into the keypad, not Xeqlua whatever that means." Mumbo blushed out of embarrassment, "whoops." The sky had darkened and dark clouds appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Thunder growling was heard and lightning started flashing.

A big flash hit the statue and the sudden storm disappeared leaving the Hermits startled, "What was that?" Stress wondered. "Uh, guys?" Iskall said pointing at the statue. A crack was slowly making its way down the middle until Crack! it split in half revealing a gasping human version of the statue. His hair was dirty blonde and his red sweater stood out under a purple cloak. The symbol on his silver mask shone in a bright neon purple. His sword's dark purple blade shone in the moon light. He pulled himself up and turned in circles trying to figure out where he was. He spotted the Hermits and immediately got into a defensive position. "I'm not afraid to fight back!" he said although his voice was wavering. Mumbo walked closer to him, "don't worry we aren't trying to-" but the man's instincts lead him to attack Mumbo his blade only nearly missing Mumbo's head. Mumbo fell on his behind and the man stumbled around and collapsed. Curious the Hermits approached him, Xisuma slowly lifted of his mask. The mask had left a sort of imprint on his face like when you have your swimming goggles pressed against your face for too long.

The man was put in Xisuma's base. They took turns watching him. Mumbo was half-asleep in a chair in the corner of the room. "Ugh..." groaned Grian as he sat up. He rubbed his eyes taking in his surrounding. Mumbo noticed the movement and grabbed his sword incase the man would attack him again. Instead he felt his face for his mask but when he couldn't find it there he was shocked. He whirled around to Mumbo, "how did you remove my mask?" he sounded confused and panicked at the same time. Mumbo was confused, he lowered his sword and answered, "we just grabbed it and took it of?" The man considered something, "nevermind, let me out of here" Mumbo shook his head, "I can't do that, I have to wait until our admin shows up." Grian didn't like that answer so instead he ran towards a window and jumped right through shattering it. Surprised Mumbo took a few seconds to realize that the man could be falling to his death at this very moment. Rushing to the window he saw a pair of elytra colored wings fly off. "Oh so now he has wings too?!" Mumbo grumble. He equipped his elytra and flew after him, rockets speeding him up. He almost caught up to the man, unexpectedly the man pulled out small dagger and stabbed it through Mumbo's elytra making him loose altitude quickly. He plummeted down into a lake and rose back up gasping for air. He looked at the elytra, not only was it now wet making it hard to fly but it also had a hole ripped into it making it impossible. Mumbo pulled himself out of the water and dripping wet walked back to find X. Waiting, "Why are you wet?" he asked confused. "The guy escaped and when I tried to go after him he cut my elytra and I landed in a lake." The two walked inside to discuss what to do next.

Meanwhile Grian had found shelter in a small cave. He was cooking meat by a campfire. He had calmed down now and his original panic had vanished almost completely. He took a bite out of the steak and thought about the man that had been following him. Grian felt a bit bad about making him fall into that lake but he did it in a state of panic. Now he had to plan his next steps carefully, the man had seemed friendly but Grian had thought the same about Sam. That didn't turn out too well. But this was different, this time Grian had a different feeling, a warm and welcoming one. Maybe he should apologize? But what if they're mad at him and try to capture him? Grian chased those thoughts out of his head. He sighed as he ate the last bit of steak before getting up and walking to a small nearby river to get some water. The cooling liquid trickled down his throat, clearing his mind. He went back to his cave to clean up.

"We should totally put him into area 77" Doc said. "NO" almost everyone yelled. "I suggest we should invite him to a nice cup of tea and talk about how he was a statue" False suggested. "Well- I was thinking we could-" Iskall was interrupted by a cough. They turned to the entry way of the doorway. "Erm- uhhh hi???" Grian nervously said. The Hermits still too stunned to do anything just stared. "Sorry for attacking you" Grian said. This time Mumbo managed to get out a few words, "that's fine." For a few minutes they awkwardly stared at each other. Before Xisuma sighed and said, "please explain how you were a statue."
