The Past Linger's [SEQUAL] (HermitCraft AU)

Chapter 10

Mumbo walked further into the base finding an opened tunnel, he assumed Grian had went this way, He followed the tunnel to a room on one side two strange corridors one with a diamond block on the end  and on the other end was a ladder, he climbed up the ladder not paying any mind to the corridors taking him right back to the train station

"...im back here" Mumbo muttered to himself as he stepped out of the trian station room running his fingers over the wood as he walked

He looked forward noticing the vibrant colours of Grians wings running off

"Grian wait!"

Mumbo shouted as he chased after the winged hermit "Grian! Just talk to me!"
Grian turned around for a split second staring at Mumbo his breathing was heavy he wanted to listen to Mumbo, he wanted to talk but at that point he wasent thinking straight

Mumbo ran after him easily catching up to him and tackling the shorter man to the ground pinning him down "you cant just run forever, you need to talk to me here!" Mumbo said looking at his face "let me go Mumbo" Grian refuted trying to wriggle from Mumbo but he wouldent budge.

"Do you seriously plan to stay here forever, why what are you gaining from this" Mumbo says trying to gouge some info from grian. "I dont have a choice where else will i go" Grian threw back "Hermitcraft! Obviously" Mumbo spouted like it was the most obvious answer he was really getting irritated now

Mumbo let Grian go who just sat in front of him with an annoyed look on his face "how am i supposed to be accepted back after they know what i am" he sighed "so your a watcher so what, you should just explain yourself i know he seemed mad but X is a reasonable person"

"Being a watcher is different Mumbo its not like i spilled juice on the carpet do you even know what watchers are" Grian mumbled

Mumbo looked to the side then turned back to him "i mean no... ive heard of them, its not like i think there good... but that dosent mean your not" he tries to explain before just going on a rant "I mean if you where like what they say watchers are like wouldent you have destroyed hermitcraft by now or at least done something bad, even when you lost your memories you never tried to do anything.. Evil. Even Xisuma knows that he was probably just surprised when he confronted you and you running off kinda just made him suspicious but if you think about it why would you still be here if you where in league with those watchers. It just dosent make sense and X has probably already realised that"

Grian went quiet thinking over Mumbos words

"Well... i guess that makes sense" he sighed in an annoyed tone "i guess i was the one being a spoon this time huh?.."

Mumbo let out a relieved sigh and then said "now that your not running off mind explaining what this place is i know its called Evo and your the admin but why is everything distorted, why do the mobs not take fall damage and why is the sky purple!?"

"Um well im not sure why everything is distorted and broken i mean i know the watchers are behind it" the winged hermit mumbled "then what happened here? Xisuma said watchers are unable to be admins and if this place has been touched by the watchers... and your now a watcher what happened here that made you become one" Mumbo added

"Heh well yeah i was the admin... this was the server i lived in before hermitcraft, me and a few others. The watchers would leave puzzles and riddles to follow and gave us rewards for following them we completely trusted them" Grian said in sad tone

"You mean like what they did back with the building back in hermitcraft" Mumbo commented

"Yeah exactly like that, we followed what they said blindly up until they told us to fight the ender dragon, we all huddled around the portal ready to fight the dragon all together. But thats not what happened, we all jumped in but on the other end i was alone i fought the dragon on my own and defeated it but when i jumped back through i wasent taken back to my friends... no... the watchers they took me they forced me to become one of them. I never saw my friends again"

Mumbo had scooted to sit beside the winged hermit noticed the small tears forming at the edge of Grians eyes

He sat with Grian in silence not knowing if he should speak or if he should what he could say

Grian hated that he was caught but Mumbos words made sense, while he was freaking about anyone knowing of what he was he never stopped to think of the evidence supporting him instead he made it worse by confirming Xisumas suspicions and running off

They both just sat in silence for ages before Mumbo spoke up "so you where forced to become one, i get why your scared of people knowing but if you tell this to Xisuma he would completely understand im sure" he said with a comforting smile to which Grian gave him a small smile back

"Yeah i guess" Grian sayed with an awkward laugh "well should we head back to hermitcraft" Mumbo asked to which Grian hesitantly nodded
