102 ~ Crows and Parrots

Crows and parrots have always been violent to eachother. Which if you look at the beginning of the Super Hub, you would understand.

...

Grian laughed along with Mumbo at Impulse's joke. Something about redstone, though he didn't understand.

"Dude, why are you laughing?" Ren asked.

"Redstone is a joke to me-" Grian tried, laughing more. His laughter stopped when he heard the squawk.

He looked up at the trees in panic.

"Grian?" Mumbo asked.

"...I swear I heard a crow..." Grian mumbled.

"Hey, why are you afraid of crows?" Ren asked, confused.

Grian gulped his fear down as he continued to scan the trees for the crow.

"...History, I guess? Crows and Parrots have hated eachother since the creation of the Super Hub." Grian said, looking back to Ren. "The Angel of Death that created the super hub with his brother Xeqlua, the Third Prime Watcher. Xeqlua was a parrot hybrid, or its assumed that he was. We know his chosen bird was a parrot-"

Grian took a deep breath after realizing he hadn't been breathing. He shook his head and sighed.

"As brothers do, they fought. Xeqlua left, and the birds have hated and feared eachother since. Though over the past few decades its calmed down." Grian said.

"So... Your fear of crows is literally because the first parrot hybrid was brothers with the first crow hybrid, and they fought?" Impulse asked, confused.

"...Yeah it's weird, but it's an instinct in all parrot hybrids..." Grian muttered.

Another squawk sounded and he looked around in panic again. He finally saw the beady eyed black feathered bird.

The bird flew down and landed on Mumbo's hair. It squawked again, and Grian barely resisted beheading Mumbo to get the bird away.

Then it spoke.

"Hᒷꖎꖎ𝙹 g∷╎ᔑリ. I'↸ ꖎ╎ꖌᒷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᒲᒷリ↸ 𝙹⚍∷ ∷ᒷꖎᔑℸ ̣ ╎𝙹リᓭ⍑╎!¡, ᔑリ↸ ∴𝙹⚍ꖎ↸ ꖎ╎ꖌᒷ ||𝙹⚍ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᒲᒷᒷℸ ̣ ᒲ|| ℸ ̣ ⍑∷ᒷᒷ ᓵ⍑╎ꖎ↸∷ᒷリ. Y𝙹⚍∷ リᒷ!¡⍑ᒷ∴ᓭ." The bird spoke. (Hello Grian. I'd like to mend our relationship, and would like you to meet my three children. Your nephews.)

"Did it just SPEAK!?" Ren yelled, stepping back with everyone except Mumbo and Grian.

"What's that language!?" Impulse yelled.

"...I have nephews...?" Grian mumbled looking at the bird.

"What!?" Ren and Impulse asked.

"Its-" Grian looked to his friends. "...My brother is a Crow Hybrid and apparently I have three nephews."

"You understand the language!?" Ren yelled.

"You have a brother?" Impulse asked.

"Grian- Your name when we met was Xeqlua..." Mumbo remembered.

"What is going on, G?" Ren asked.

...

Grian hesitated as he looked at the cabin.

"I can- I don't have to be here-" Grian tried.

"You need to meet your family, G." Mumbo interjected. "Plus, your brother wants to mend your relationship. If it's not about that, you can hold it over my head for all time. I just have a feeling it'll be alright."
