INSIDE AN EMPTY CAGE (HermitCraft AU)

Prologue

Grian groaned as he sat up from bed his head throbbing in pain as he did he brought his hand up to rub at the pain when he felt bandages along with his own hair, scanning the area around him he realised he wasn't in his own room the space felt very familiar but it wasn't his bedroom

He heard voices coming from past the door and he let out a small gasp which alerted whoever was outside the room. Grian scrambled off the bed and went to run to a small room but the moment he stood he legs gave out they may have not heard the gasp but they definitely heard that "grian?" one of the voices said, he started crawling and was able to get into the room which looked to be a small bathroom he locked the door behind him and threw himself into the empty bathtub
The door to the other room opened and whoever was there started calling grians name ,his mind was racing the last thing he remembered was running, he was running from sam did he pass out or something but if he did sam would have taken him with him but the voices he's hearing don't sound like him. What's more their calling him by his name sam would be calling him taurtis

Before he could come to any conclusion the voices reached the bathroom door "hey grian you alright bud?" one of them said then the other "your still recovering you shouldn't be moving without help" his mind started racing again recovering from what they seemed like they know me but i don't recognise their voices at all. He brought his legs up to his chest and grabbed at his ears ''grian? Are you ok if you don't say anything i'm gonna have to bust this door down" one of them said pounding on the door a little he wanted to say something but when he opened his mouth no words came out he started scratching at his ears as tears started to fall, he had scratched past the skin and small droplets of blood trickled out as whoever was outside the door grabbed an axe and cut the door down he sighed as he slowly stepped in "sorry i'll get you a new one later" he said turning his gaze around the room until he spotted grian curled up in a ball tears from his eyes and blood from his ears the other person stepped in and turned his head towards him "grian what are you doing" he said worry in his voice as he knelt next to him

Grian turned his head slightly to look at the two next to him one wearing a green sweatshirt and had a robotic looking eye while the other was a man in a suit with a moustache he looked at them as he muttered out three words "wh- who are you.." he saw the two look stunned before his world went dark

When he woke up the two were both on one side of the bed the man with the moustache leaned down and smiles "hey how you doing bud" not knowing what to say he nods his head a bit to say he was ok the other man then spoke up "do you know who we are" grian shook his head and looked slightly away from the two "ok well do you know you are? Do you know your name.." he asked as grian nodded he said "y-yeah my names grian"

"ok grain how old do you remember being," he said kneeling a bit "um... im... 15 i-i think" he stammered the man beside him looked stunned and turned to face the other. He sighed and looked back at grian "ok well im iskall and this is mumbo you look fine so would you like to go for a walk you probably cant walk just yet so you can go on my back" grian nodded and started pushing himself off the bed and grabbing onto the back of iskall he looked behind him sligtly and saw wings big ones sprouting from his back he did a small scream and dug his face into iskalls back "g-grian are you scared of your wings" mumbo asks walking up to him "m-my wings... but i dont have wings" he said touching them slightly then pulling his hand away "i thought you always had wings" iskall said pulling him up "im a normal human i never had wings" he said staring at iskall from behind after walking out of the room grain started in awe at the huge build he was in (grians season 6 base) "how... how did i get here and where exactly is here" he asked trying to climb off of iskall "your..." iskall trailed off grian set his shaky feet on the ground almost falling but able to stable himself, iskall smiled "how about you try the wings"

Grian looked towards his back and then started trying to move them. It was easier than he thought they started moving back and forth he then tried to lift into the air and he did "wow i thought this would be harder" he said smiling wide "i bet only you could say that grian'' iskall laughed "you seem calmed down now how about i tell you why your here" iskall said getting a little serious as mumbo got out of the room and handed grian a red sweater grian thanked him then turned back to iskall "uh sure" he said putting on the sweater and gently pushing his wings through the holes on the back mumbo stood next to iskall "there's no easy way to say this so i'm just gonna say it, you seem to have lost 12 years of memories" grian looked at them stunned "12... 12 years" "yeah this is your base you built it mumbo is your best friend and were both your business partners we run a corporation together called sahara. Oh right your on hermitcraft right now your one of us a hermit" iskall explained before grian could say anything a message popped up in the chat

<GoodTimeWithScar> hey iskall how's grian i was wondering if i could come over there i brewed up a potion that might help

<Iskall85> grian woke up but you can come over we could use some help here

<GoodTimeWithScar> oh really heading over now

<Xisumavoid> he's awake i'm on my way

"Scar and xisuma are heading over" he said turning towards grian "uh who are they..." he said confused "xisuma is the server admin and scar is another hermit like us" mumbo said

Not long after scar flew into the base "hey grian good to see you awake everyone was worried" scar said heading over to the group iskall went to tell scar before xisuma also flew in he smiled as he walked over "so how is he'' xisuma asked "um.. He lost his memories.." mumbo said not sure how to explain it "he what!?" scar said messily leaving his things as he ran over "12 years of memories to be exact he said he was 15 when i asked him" iskall explained "so he doesn't remember any of us.." scar said looking towards grian who was hiding behind iskall "seems so he's also very jumpy so do be mindful of that"
scar looked down "this is all my fault if i never decided to go into that storm he would be fine" xisuma patted his back "no scar it's not everyone kept telling that bird man that he should stay inside and be safe but he brought up the fact your always getting hurt and rushed out before anyone could protest" mumbo said "what storm..." grian asked, getting out from behind the two "he dosent know?" scar asked "of course he doesn't know he lost his memories" mumbo said

Scar looked at grian them reached his hand out and placed it on his head grian flinched as he did so which made them worry. he patted the hermits hair and smiled "you may not remember us but we're your friends either way so you can ask us for help if you need it" he removed his hand and looked at iskall. xisuma spoke up "well the others are gonna have to know you think we could hold a meeting to explain it" he said looking to grian "if your not ok with it that's fine their will be a lot of people" grian shook his head "i can do it" the small hermit said xisuma smiled "well do you wanna do it now or later your choice" "i can do it now" he said determined "meet me at spawn when your ready, you three to" xisuma said before flying off

Grian turned towards the two "what do they mean by storm... what happened?" iskall sighed "scar, mumbo you guys get to spawn tell xisuma well be there shortly" scar went to object but decided not to and flew off with mumbo close behind

<Xisumavoid> everyone who can head to spawn i need to tell everyone something

<ImpulseSV> i'm on my way

<RenDog85> heading over now

Iskall put down his communicator and looked back at grian "i can tell you what happened ok just don't panic or anything" grian nodded as iskall sat in front of him
