Wings

Chapter 5

(Happy new year,  hope 2022 will be better)

"Mumbo why do you want my soul?"

Grian read the full contract. Only one thing, he read it after signing it.

"Well you see," Mumbo paused taking off a mask revealing a piglike form, "I want to be a human being again. And the only way to do that is well, to take your soul or well part of it!"

"Wait Sam, killing me won't bring him back!" Grian shrieked not realizing that he wasn't there, but he was already shuffling himself into a corner 

( I'm sorry I don't know how to write a break down properly, especially not one about trauma I don't know enough about, I'm trying.)

( oh btw if you have any suggestions on how to make this better, feel free to tell me!)

Grian was in a corner sobbing and almost silently muttering about somebody named "Tautis". Mumbo knew Grian knew someone named that as the two had talked about people they know. 

Who was Sam? Mumbo was never good with feelings but he knew Sam must have done something terrible to Grian, the black haired boy tried to comfort his shorter friend. 

That didn't end well Mumbo wound up being slapped across the face and a Grian who was sobbing even more and apologizing. Suddenly Grian ran off to his base, Mumbo figured that he needed to have some time and went on with his day. 

Grian fell asleep shortly after he got back to his base, he had a long day ahead of him.

When he woke up his upper back hurt, it felt as if it was on fire. He figured it was because he fell asleep on the floor, he never released just how bad it was. despite his little incident the day before his plans stayed the same; breakfast, talk to Mumbo, lunch, talk to Pearl, evening sacrifice to the boatem-hole, work on his base,and sleep.

Coffee and toast a simple breakfast to fix what ails ya, he chuckled to himself. His mum always said that oh did he miss her, and with that he got ready to go find Mumbo

It took him a while to find Mumbo because he was walking, for some reason he just couldn't get his elytra to work but it was probably for the best as his back still hurt. 

"Good morning  Mumbo!" Grian shouted from the top of the hill he was standing on, but Mumbo seemed out of sorts. He probably just didn't sleep well Grian assumed.

"Morning G-man," Mumbo said groggy still, " what happened yesterday exactly?"

"Whatever do you mean, Tat-man?" Grian questioned.

"You seriously don't remember?" Mumbo prodded him.

"Nope! What happened?" Of course he knew, he just didn't want to explain. "When was the last time you slept? You look tired?"

"Oh I'm fine, do you want to go get lunch? My treat!"

"Yeah!"

(470 words was hoping to get to 500 but oh well, it felt right to end it there)
