Sangria (A DSMP + Hermitcraft Kingdom au)

Chapter 5

Grian was stretching his wings out in the garden, the warm sunshine making him smile. He didn't know if Mumbo was awake yet, but was planning to barge into his room in the castle anyways. Unfortunately for his plans, Mumbo stepped out into the garden, yawning.

"HELLO MUMBO!" Grian loudly yelled.

"Is this how you wake up a friend fully?" Mumbo replied, not fully awake.

"Sure."

"Grian, you know that being an avian and technically a royal, on the road is dangerous at the moment right?"

Grian sighed, "BUT I DON'T WANNA BE COOPED UP IN THE CASTLE!" Grian loudly complained.

"Grian, you'll wake everyone up at this rate, and I know you hate being cooped up, but can we stay one more week? Just for safety?"

"Fine."

"Thank you."

Welp, to say Grian was annoyed about this would be an understatement. He always wanted to be free, fly with the wind, but it would be fine, just one more week at the castle. Grian flew onto the roof, trying to annoy Mumbo. Mumbo sighed.

"I'm gonna get breakfast, please don't die."

"No promises."

Mumbo sighed and walked inside. Grian watched the courtyard for a while from his perch and soon a knight came in, hands behind his back.

"HELLO DOWN THERE!" Grian yelled.

The knight looked up and waved a bit, and yelled back, "HELLO UP THERE!"

"WHAT'S UP?"

The knight's demeanor changed suddenly, his happy face falling. "Nothing much, just knight things."

"Ok then," Grian replied, awkwardly, not knowing how to react to the knight's sudden change in mood.

The knight looked down again and pulled out a small scroll, and Grian read it, taking advantage of his advanced sight.

'Helsknight, Wanted. Brother of Welsknight, royal knight.' All the other text was too small to read from a distance, but Grian got the gist of the scroll. The knight sighed, and rolled the paper back up, and left the courtyard, leaving Grian wondering who this 'Helsknight' was.

Grian muttered something about the wanted poster under his breath.

"I heard my name," someone said from behind him.

Grian jumped, falling off the roof and messily flapping his wings before hitting the ground.

"Ahh, I see. Well, you know my presence now... but...." The stranger said and waved his hand. "How about not flying to keep someone quiet?"

Grian was yelling loudly, and flapping his wings wildly in a panic. The knight that was there before ran back in, and looked up.

"Hello Hels."

Grian was too panicked to pay much attention to what was going on, but a sound of clanking swords was heard, and soon he heard metal armor being struck. He closed his eyes and tried to block everything out, and calm down. The fact that he couldn't fly for some reason was not helping. He blacked out, his wings flickering in and out of existence.

_________________TIME SKIPPY SKIP_____________________

The room Grian woke up in was pitch black. He felt something restraining his wings, and trying to move them was painful. There was a pain in his head, as he struggled to sit up. He heard a door open, and he sighed. He did say no promises to dying to Mumbo, but being chained up was a different matter. Grian turned to where he heard the door opening. A beam of light came in, and a lantern was placed in the room, and then the door closed again. Grian tried to kick at the lantern, both to be annoying, and in the hope that the fire would somehow help him escape. He felt the chains get a bit hotter, and from his brief time in school, he tried to separate the chains around his hands, and to his surprise, it worked. Grian got up, ran over to the door, struggled to open it, then fucking bolted. The sooner he got out, the sooner he could tell Mumbo that even though he was a spoon, he was right sometimes. Maybe staying that extra week wouldn't be so bad.
