|~Chapter 15: A Message~|

"Are you sure it's okay?"
"Of course! They won't notice you're even there."
Mumbo lead Grian to his house, Grian had a redstone engineering test coming up soon and Mumbo offered to tutor him for it and here they were at his house.
"Woah, your house is really nice!"
It was a pretty big house, it had a nice garden and it looked like a mansion.

~

Inside, it looked grand and a little empty but there seemed to be a Butler?
"You have Butlers?"
"No, my parents do; I don't really let maids or butlers do stuff for me."
. . .
Grian nods, following Mumbo up to his room as Mumbo quietly greets the Butler as they walked by him.

~

"This is all so confusing!"
Mumbo chuckled as Grian threw his arms up, Mumbo's room was completely littered with redstone machines, redstone and wires.
Grian put the cards back down,"Hey, the bathroom is just down the hall, right?", "Mhm.", so Grian stood up and walked out to find the bathroom.

After finishing up, Grian walked back to Mumbo's room but then noticed a woman come out a room with some kind of ear piece on her ear.
Was that Mumbo's mom?
She stopped, surprised to see someone she didn't know,"Who are you?", "I'm. . . Mumbo's friend.", she nods,"Ah. I see.", she walked past Grian, taking her phone out again to go back to work.
"You should spend more time with him."
She turned to the boy, he didn't look at her but seemed to looking at their family photo,"From personal experience; Parents should spend time with their kids because you don't know what you have until it's gone.", wih that, he walked back into Mumbo's room and left Mumbo's mother in the hall confused.

"Thanks again, Mumbo!"
Grian waved goodbye to his friend, walking back to the portal and back to Hermitcraft and hoped Xisuma was finally back from another mission.
Grian checked his phone and noticed his parents were found and arrested for child neglect which made Grian smile, finally Karma did her job even though he gave Karma a hit of a push.

"Xisuma?"
. . .
Still nothing?
Grian couldn't help but wonder what Xisuma does for work, as he always took guns with him.
And his guns were still on a rack.
. . .
Grian frowned, he ignored this before but now the feeling was greater than it was before.
"Something is wrong."
Grian put his bag down, taking in a deep breath and then knew what he had to do and went to turn off the lights.
Once in the dark, he closed his eyes and muttered under his breath and steadies his breathing.
"Five elements of the earth, I respect and invoke thee. From the six directions, converge here. Lift all concealments, reveal thy truth."
Grian opened his eyes and felt his blood go cold.
The room was dark, but what stood out was the puddles of blood or small signs in the room that lit up.
Grian noticed the wall had a huge blood stain, he touched it and felt rage building up realising that Xisuma may not be on a mission, but someone came in here and attacked him.
. . .
"But who and why?"
Grian turned the lights back on, leaving to find Iskall and Impulse.
