Grian sometimes wondered if the other hermits liked having him around.

It was a question he'd asked himself many times, and every time he always came to the conclusion that the answer was no. But now, sitting on top of his build in Hermitville, he couldn't help but doubt that.

He was looking back at everything he'd done while on the server, creating a server wide game of tag, starting the Architechs, starting a war and now hes started another war. (Well it was more of a build-off but you get the idea.)

To be honest Grian wasn't really over the war yet, and he probably never will be. They always said it was all in good fun, but to him it was far from fun. The way Doc had been so excited at the prospect of an all out war for the last two flags didn't really help either. He jumped when anyone snuck up on him, he was more cautious and quiet around his fellow hermits. Grian didn't think anyone noticed, but they did. They just didn't know why he was suddenly like this, and they were too afraid to ask.

And now he had started a second war, and he knew he couldn't do this a second time. So he did what any sane person would do and decided to move the entirety of his building to a different location, with the help of some Watcher magic, of course. (He also made sure no one was there before using his powers.)

And now, thousands of blocks away from the others, Grian relaxed. No more build fighting for him. Deciding no one was going to find this for a while he called Maui and Perl here, he needed their company right now. Falling asleep, in one of the many upstairs rooms, he felt the worries of the world melt away and it was just him and his familiars.

Unbeknownst to him, most of the hermits had just gotten back to the village (The plot demanded it) to find the towering build gone. They all started to panic, what happened while they were gone? Walking over to where it once stood they inspected the area, but there was nothing to be seen but a piece of paper, no fire damage on the ground, and no TNT crater. Xisuma thought maybe something went wrong in the code so he checked only to find nothing, the building had been removed by hand. Everyone gathered looked at each other, who could remove a giant build like that so quickly by hand? They had only been gone for about two hours and no one had been in the village, right? X sighed and checked who had been here, the results shocked him.

"Well? Who has been here?", asked and impatient Cub, and all the other nodded in agreement, they were all curious.

The admin opened his mouth, though no one could see it, before closing it. He couldn't really talk right now. So instead of telling he showed them the results.

The only one who had been in the village while they'd all been gone was Grian.

Mumbo was the first to speak, "Did-did Grian do this?", it was the only logical solution, who else could have done it? "Why? He loved that build! He was so proud of it!"

The others could honestly not answer, why would he do this? Did it have something to do with how he has been acting lately? It was now that Doc actually looked at the paper, and found text.

"Hey, everyone!" everyone turned to him, confusion clear in their faces, "It's a note! And it has Grian's handwriting!"

They all crowded around the creeper hybrid, all wanting to see for themselves. And he wasn't lying, that was the builders handwriting, it was as clear as day that he left the note.

Iskall was getting impatient, "Well? Read it out loud! We all want to know what is says!"

The others all nodded their agreements (Wow, they nod a lot in this one-shot!)

"If you're reading this than I have taken my house and left the village, and I will most likely not return. But I'm not leaving completely, only moving one structure away from the rest of you. I'm now as far away from you as possible without being too far away. I love you all dearly, trust me, but I ask you all not to look for me. I can't be around you all if your going to fight, I can't do that, not again. So I'll most likely be gone for a few days, but I will come back.
