Grian Oneshots

♔ Wizards ♔

Season 7 of Hermitcraft had started and Grian had immediatly found his place to build his starterbase - a hobbithole in the jungle, amongst the birds he was alike. Last season of Hermitcraft he had shifted his wing-colors to those of an owl, he thought they had fit but when he saw the parrots in the jungle for the first time, he stopped and stared in awe for a few minuted before he knew the wings of a red macaw were meant for him.

Luckily noone on the server really batted an eye on hybrid shifts. The jungle in which he had chosen to reside in, wasn't his alone, he had a few neighbors, including Cleo, Mumbo and Iskall - the last two having totally copied him by building hobbitholes as well - and last but not least, Scar. The latter having decided to dress up this season, which Grian noticed the first time the brunette came to visit.

"Griiann! Hello! I've heard we're neighbors this season! Have you seen my starter base? His name is Larry the Snail" The scarred man told and Grian chuckled, "Scar, what are you wearing?" he asked, looking up at the man clad in purple robes. Scar gasped in mock-offense and grabbed his chest, "Grian! Can't you see I'm a wizard! I am magic" The scarred man exclaimed and to prove his point he pulled out a chorus fruit and ate it, teleporting up in a tree. He swung his arm trying to gain back his balance but failed, falling down, except his foot got stuck, so now he hung upside down from a tree. Grian buckled over, laughing at his friend. "That's some magic you have there, huh Scar?" the parrot laughed, he should know, after all he was a mage once, Scar chuckled along, "A little help getting down? Please?" He asked and Grian obliged, flying up in the tree and freeing the hermits foot.

"Ouch!" The brunette exclaimed as he hit the ground, "Come on Grian! You could've at least made the fall slower!"

Grian laughed as he landed beside the hermit on the grass, "Well you just asked to get down, you didn't specify that it had to be painless" he smirked and helped the other up. "And I don't think I've seen Larry yet, can you show me?" He asked and Scars eyes lit up with excitement, "Of course G! Here eat this and we'll be at my base in no time" Scar grinned and handed Grian a chorus fruit, the latter rolled his eyes and ate the fruit, teleporting behind Scar. "Your magic sucks Scar"

"As if you could do better!" Scar retaliated and Grian smiled to himself as the two began the walk to Larry, if only he knew.

The duo arrived at the snail and Grian complimented the organic build - something he had learned Scar was really good at. "Wow Scar, this looks amazing!" he exclaimed as they walked inside the snail, looking at the interior. Downstairs was a kitchen and storage area and upstairs was the bedroom, Grian looked around as a picture on the wall caught his attention. It was an old drawing from the middle ages. On it was a figure sketched out, wearing wizard robes coloured red his hands outstreched and above them was a floating star-like artefact - the viking artefact. "Oh that, that's a real drawing from the middle ages of The Red Mage, you know who that is right?" Scar asked and Grian nodded, "Yeah, I've heard of him"

"He is so cool! He's why I decided to become a wizard, he became the most powerful wizard ever and also he became the King of Justice" Scar praised and Grian nodded to himself, "Sounds cool"

"Yeah! And that's not even the best part, because of the Viking Artefact, he was granted immortality and is said to still be alive to this day" The brunette beamed, "It would be awesome to meet him!"

Grian chuckled, "Yeah, well maybe if you're lucky he'll show up one day"

Grian was working on the start of his mansion when a message from Xisuma plinged in the chat.

[<Xisuma> Guys, there's someone new at spawn, anyone know anything about that? He is dressed in something that looks like Scar's wizard robes except they're blue? Scar?]

[<Goodtimewithscar> I don't know anything about that]

[<Goodtimewithscar> I'm supposed to be the wizard of the server]

Grian thought a random new guy at spawn sounded suspiscious, so he decided to check it out. His parrot-wings unfurled and carried him into the air, wind brushing against his face as he steered towards spawn. As he neared he saw he wasn't the only one deciding to check out the blue-clad wizard, so he was met with a group of hermits standing in a half-circle around the unexpected guest.

The mage looked around  deeming the head-count to be sufficient, then grinned. "Hello hermits, I am The Blue Mage," he waved his hand and a wooden staff appeared, fist tightening around it, "You are going to turn over this server to me, or I'll kill every single one of you" He threathened, his staff pointing at the group. Grian was about to step up to protect the server when another had the same idea, the blonde watched in horror as Scar stepped up, raising a makeshift wooden staff at the unknown wizard, his hands trembling slightly, "No! You better leave this server! Or- or The Red Mage will kill you!"

The Blue Mage paused before laughing, "That must be your joke! As if the FAMOUS Red Mage would protect you, besides, you shouldn't have revealed that you're a wizard, now I'll kill you first and steal your powers" He sneered, raising his staff to blast the powerless, wizard-dressed hermit, the latter gulping in fear and taking a step back as a blue magic bolt formed at the end of the wooden staff, in his attempt to step back Scar fell to the ground, shutting his eyes and trying to shield himself with his arms. The hermits - except for Grian - stood frozen still as the blast was aimed for Scar.

The brunette slowly opened his eyes as no blast had hit him. In front of him stood the smaller hermit, a staff in his hand a golden shield of magic in front of the duo.  A swipe of his staff sent a golden blast towards the blue-clad mage who flew back, but quickly got up again, staff raised and ready to fight the new threat. "This server really has some wizards huh? Well you can't defeat me, I am the new Red Mage, ever since the Red Mage disappeared I've been the most powerful wizard! You can't stop me!" He grinned and Grian raised his staff as well. "You can't say you weren't warned" the parrot grinned and his opponent stopped in his tracks, "What do you mean?"

"My friend here did say The Red Mage would kill you if you didn't leave" The blonde smirked, his mage-robes from the Kingdom of Valor draping over him with a flick of his staff. "Now I'm feeling nice, so you have a chance to flee, if you don't leave then you're dead" he ordered, his staff pointed as his foe, earning a nod from the now pale wizard who left the same way he had arrived - through a portal.

A sigh of relief left the hermits and Grian as the enemy disappeared, the hermits because now they weren't targets and Grian because he didn't have to kill him - he hated killing despite how powerful he was.

Scar had in the meantime gotten up, and now he wrapped his arms around the smaller hermit, "Oh my god Grian! That was amazing, I didn't know you were magic, and I can't believe he thought you were the Red Mage!? That was some amazing bluff" Scar beamed and Grian chuckled, "Wasn't bluff Scar"

"What?" He paused, removing his arms from the blonde, Grian shrugged, "Yeah, I'm the one and only Red Mage, it was kind of awkward hearing you rave about me" He laughed and Scar blushed, "I- uhh, sorry?"

"It's fine," He said to Scar, then adressed everyone, "Is everyone alright?" he asked, "Yep, noone was hurt, also G, I'm sorry for what happened to you..." X replied, then trailed off, "Oh, right, I became famous enough that everyone knows that" he thought to himself before waving X off, "It's fine X, I'm fine, it happened a thousand years ago, but I don't really want to talk about it, so I'm just the same Grian I've always been" He told and glanced at Scar who stared at him with his mouth agape and his eyes glistening with excitement, the blonde sighed, "Alright, let's go back to my base Scar and I'll answer all your questions and I might even show you some magic" he told and smiled as Scar's face lit up in a bright smile and threw his arms around him once again, "Thank you so much Gri!" He exclaimed and grabbed the blonde's hand, "Let's go!"
