Grian sat on his bridge, splashing the water with his feet and looking at the horizon.

He heard the sound of rockets, a few moments later Mumbo approached him. The redstoner took a place next to him and both of them were staring at the sun set for a bit.

"Mumbo is it me or is Scar acting even stranger than usual?"

Mumbo was silent for a moment.
He looked at Scar's train, which stood quite a few blocks away.

"His builds look as impressive as always..."

"I know but he's acting odd.. Like he's here but not really? It's hard to explain."

Mumbo nodded.
"Now that you pointed that out... maybe?"

Grian looked at his neighbour (Scar's place.)

"Maybe you should ask him about that."

Grian looked at Mumbo.
"I'll do that tomorrow." Grian went to grab two fishing rods.
"I think we had plans for today."

"Scar? Are you here?"
Grian was flying around the train looking for the elf. He saw Jellie sleeping peacefully on the bed but her owner was nowhere near.

"Scar ! "
After a few more flights around,Grain decided to go back to his base and wait for Scar here. But right before he took off a family voice called him.

"Hello there X̶e̶l̶q̶u̶a̶    Grian!"
Scar stood a few feets away from him. Grian thought he saw his green eyes turn red for a split second.

"Scar."
He smiled ... but there was something behind the way he smiled. It was strangely odd.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

"Uh.. yeah. I wanted to ask you about something."

Scar walked a few steps closer.
"What's the question then?" The weird smile didn't leave his face.

" I ... Are you feeling okay? I saw you acting slightly strange recently and -"

Scar placed his finger on Grian's mouth to shut him.

"Strange you say? Maybe..."
Scar turned around.
" Grian what would you say about cup of tea and a one shot story?"

Grian looked at him.
"Uh?"

"Great! Follow me Mr." Scar took his hand.

Grian sat on the train floor surrounded by the chest monster Scar had already created. Still very confused.

" So  what's the story about"Grian said getting Scar's attention.

"Oh ! It's about a lonely man who wanted to have a friend."
Scar sat on one of the big chests and looked straight at Grian.
His eyes were purplish.. something was very wrong here...
That's when Grian realised he couldn't move - Scar? spoke.

"𝑁𝑜𝑤 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑋𝑒𝑙𝑞𝑢𝑎.

Once there was a lonely man.

Only thing he ever wanted was to have a company, a friend, someone who cares about him.

The man had a lovely but broken family , no matter what he still loves them.

He tried to be friendly and kind to everyone ... It started slowly becoming what he always wanted, he was really close...he could have had finally a friend...
But the good things don't last long.

So one day -

The Sun, Star, Moon and Mars approached him.. speaking in voices that didn't belong to them, repeating one sentence.
- One of us.

First he betrayed the shadow lady and with that everything started falling apart.
He saw his one though allays Mars and Canary yelling at him .
His family turning at him.
His two closest to friends people...the yellow buttercup flowers started loosing their colour...

And lastly the Moon...he called her a sunflower one... She reminded him of it, just like her brother reminded him of the Sun.

He didn't notice when he lost everything that reminded him of being alive.

He stood there alone... Again...

He, the voices and the three flowers he holds onto.

Nearly dead poppies, lilacs and and sunflowers, gently put in his hair.

He travels the empty soulless world .

Legend says he still rooms the sunflower fields to this day looking for what he once lost."

---

Grian woken up in his bed, sweaty.
He wasn't sure what happened.

O right he went to visit Scar...
But he knows it wasn't Scar...  At least not the one he knew.

He couldn't fall asleep again so he decided to walk on his poach and looked at the sun rise even though it was on the other side of the mountain.

He looked like the sun started poking through the shadows of magical cherry mountain.

That's when he noticed a strange thing.
His wheat field become a sunflower field and a brown haired man was walking through it...

Grian wanted to come to him, to yelled something but he couldn't he freeze in pleace.

In just a few seconds the image disappeared as more of the sun light the area.
Grian could move again.

Scar -the real one, was gone two but there was something laying on the windowsill.
A Sunflower.

Grian in his mind heard a familiar sweet voice saying.

Did you know that if sunflowers can't find the sun they are turning to face each other?

Grian took the flowers and one again looked at the field.
'I'll  bring you back... I'm promise.'
