Grian was just walking around the shopping district when he heard a voice inside his head, it was not the first time it had happened, but it never really happened after joining Hermitcraft, and even prior to that the prayers - as he had found out after the first few times - were not a usual encounter on his day to day basis. The voice was so familiar to him, he knew he recognized the voice but he couldn't quite place it. He decided to listen to it, as this was the first prayer in a long time and this was the first time it was so clear to actually hear the words without concentrating.

Dear Xelqua, if you're listening, please protect me and the players on my server from dangers

Oh. It was a prayer to his Watcher self about protection, great. He knew that Watchers normally got some prayers as some people actually thought that they would be answered, but this was the one of the few prayers he had gotten. He didn't know how to answer that prayer and he couldn't open his 'eyes' to see who it was as he was in the middle of the shops. He decided to ignore it for now.

That was until he heard the exact same voice, outside his head.

"Hey G" the voice said from up in the air and Grian looked up.
"Oh, hello X-eye-suma, you startled me a bit there"
"Oh, I'm sorry" the admin said and landed in front of the parrot.
"So, what are you doing at the moment?" Grian asked the man with a smile, but deep down he really hated the fact that he was disappointing the only believer he had, or maybe he wasn't? If anyone or anything attacked this server, he definitely would protect it from danger.

"Nothing really, just my base" the admin replied and Grian gave him a smile.
"Yeah, me too" Grian could see from the mans eyes, behind the purple glass from the mask, that he smiled back. Then he took off and Grian followed, flapping his parrot-wings. Then X's elytra broke and he fell.
"Oh Xelqua" he cursed and Grian reacted as he heard his name and changed his course. He caught the man and flew gracefully down to the ground and sat him down.

"Thanks G"
"You're welcome X, so-"
"Before you ask questions, Xelqua is my god, so that was the equivalent of saying 'oh god'"

"I was just gonna ask if you were okay?"
"Right, sorry, I'm okay, thanks" X said looking a bit embarrassed.
"Can I ask questions about Xelqua tho?" Grian asked as he needed to make sure Xisuma didn't want anything in return.

"Yeah sure, shoot"
"If they're your god, do you pray to them?"
"Not really, only if the server is in danger I pray for them to protect it" X said and Grians eyes widened and heartbeat sped up, but he had just heard a prayer? Was the server in danger?

"Oh, so do you really expect them to answer it and protect the server?"
"Not really, they're a runaway Watcher so they probably don't even know that I'm praying"

"Why do you have them as a god if you don't get anything out of it?"
"It's not just what I can get out of it, it's about what they stand for, I think Xelqua stands for freedom and protection, and I like that as all the other watchers seems like shitheads"

"Why would they stand for that?"
"Because they ran away from the Watchers, so they're free and from what I've heard they would do anything to protect the people from their old server"
"Well that's nice I guess"
"Yeah, it's nice to have something of a role model to look up to"

"You could just look up to me, I'm an excellent role model!" Grian said in a joking tone and earned a laugh from the admin.
"Yeah yeah, with all those wars you're just as great as Xelqua" Xisuma laughed and Grian joined in, if only he knew.
"Well, thanks for the chitchat Ex-eye-suma-veeoid" Grian said and X sighed at the pronunciation.
