TW: slight gore, minor torture

His sleep was anything but relaxing and when he woke up he was no longer in his bed. Grian gave a small groan as he sat himself up no longer on the soft sheets on his bed but instead on a wood floor the room was kind of small quartz blocks lining the walls and one wall had a door leading into a smaller room while another door sat opposite of him that door looked to lead into a cave of some sort

Grian stood up and went to try and open the door opposite to him but the moment he took a step he stumbled to the floor as his legs screamed with pain. “Is he awake?” said a muffled voice “oh I think he is?” the same muffled voice said not long after the door to the smaller room opened and out stepped the last person grian had wanted to see.

Stood over him was a man with the same signature bunny hat it was sam “hi gree-on its been so long we haven't talked to each other in almost…” he started counting his fingers then turned to face the winged hermit with an evil smirk “well almost 12 years” grian looked at him stunned as he sat into a more proper position “how-.. How do you know about that” he said sounding as confident as he could “hm?... about what” sam said looking confused grian gritted his teeth “how do you know about my memory loss”

Sam turned to him as his face shifted into a smile “well gree-on i dont see why i shouldn't it is rare that a killer doesn't know who they killed or a thief forgetting what they've stolen” as sam started laughing grian looked at him completely stunned after a bit he opened his mouth to say something “y-you-” “yep!. I mean seriously how would a rock that huge fly with the wind I don't know how the rest of the… hermits… believed that, not sure why you left me for them” sam snikered

“You saw me to, i was worried youd learn about my surprise visit but then you lost your memories isnt that just great gree-on” sam was eyeing him with an evil grin then lunged toward him grabbing hold of one of his wings as grian winced from the touch “ive been meaning to ask whered you get these” sam asked as he started to twist one of the feathers

Grian felt as the feather was twisted and tried to pull his wing out of sams touch but sam would tighten his grip “i-i dont- ow.. Know” he stammered. Sam then tighten his grip more and yanked the feather out of his wing small droplets of blood fell to the floor and a small yelp could be heard from grian

“Aw… too bad these feathers are really pretty I would love to have a variety of colours” sam pouted as he stared at the feather in awe. Grian looked at sam in disgust how can a person say that after hurting someone like that and staring at his feather with such awe he wanted to stand up and punch him but sam was stronger and besides he couldn't stand anyway grian then remembered “hey what did you do to me. why can't I walk” he asked sam turned to him seemingly annoyed grian had interrupted his admiration “I just injected you with a poison that makes the muscles wherever you inject it seemingly die you won't be able to walk for awhile ill tell you that”

Sam had then left through the opposite door leaving grian sitting on the floor. He shook him to clear his mind as tears formed in his eyes using as much strange as he could muster and pulled himself to the door. Grian grabbed onto the handle but as expected it was locked

Grian let out a sigh and slumped onto the wall next to him. He pulled his knees up to his chest resting his chin in between them he was scared… how would he get out of this

(back to the rest of the hermits)

Mumbo whistled to himself as he flew over to grians base landing in the entrance and looked over the place there was no sign of anyone, but that didn't say anything he could be in his room

As mumbo stepped over the towering shulker boxes and chests until he reached the door to grians room “good morning” he yelled as he swung the door open but once again no grian mumbo walked into the bathroom that still needed a new door. yet still couldn't find him he pulled out his communicator and sent grian a message starting to get worried

<MumboJumbo> hey gri where are you?

<MumboJumbo> I can't find you

<MumboJumbo> grian?

mumbo now very worried started panicking, it was customary for some hermits to be missing for a bit cause they would go off by themselves to do stuff but he lost his memories he shouldn't have left

mumbo ran out and flew as fast as he possibly could over to xisumas base

He landed in the front and knocked on the door. mumbo let out a sigh of relief when xisuma opened the door “what's up mumbo?...” xisuma asked a little confused by the worry on mumbos face “I can't find grian.. I know the communicators have tracking devices could you locate his?” mumbo said out of breath xisuma nodded “yeah give me a few seconds” he said pulling out a device from his pocket

A few seconds felt like an eternity as mumbo fiddled with his thumbs. Xisumas voice suddenly yelled “found it!... he seems to be 7000 blocks out,” he said while writing out the coordinates

“Lets get going then,” mumbo said grabbing out some rockets xisuma nodded grabbing his elytra and then both headed into the air

mumbo followed behind xisuma it had turned nighttime by the time they reached their destination. Xisuma landed on a tree as mumbo landed next to him “this where it should be” xisuma said as he looked around mumbo then jumped off the tree and looked on the ground

And there in front of him was something that made mumbos heart drop. grians communicator on the ground and nothing else with it
