Hermitcraft: Escaping Insanity

Chapter 7

Xisuma's view
It's been a few days since we had a meeting with mumbo, iskall, scar and doc.

All of us agreed to keep an eye on Grian, to keep him safe. Even Cub found out about it and decided to help as well.

I've been trying so hard to track or find the corrupt code in the server but I get no luck, there's something blocking me to locate it.

While I was at my base and doing some work, I've been noticing lately.. It's Grian's strange behavior even the rest reported me about it.

I tried to confront Grian asking what's wrong but his reply is "I'm fine, nothings wrong X" with a smile on his face.

This situation is making me worried.

Ex' s views
Me and poultry man have been waiting for a perfect time to get near Grian, but somethings up that's holding us up. It's Grian's behavior. Poultry man mostly told me that Grian soemtiems locks himself on his infinity room and never let Poultry man see what's inside or what is he doing.

But one thing is making things worrying is that poultry man heard Grian crying.

I'm starting to think he's having depression or some flashbacks which is a good explanation.

While I was lost in thoughts I heard soemine from behind me.

"sorry I'm late, took me a while to get him calm down" Poultry man told me.

"no wonder, also did you let him wear it??" I asked

"yep, I told him it's a gift from me, as long as he wears it he'll be safe" poultry man replied.

"that's good" I replied In relief.

"say... Why did you asked me to help you protect that boy anyway??? My name stands for Evil X" I questioned

"that's because I know your not truly evil, the Hermits just misunderstood you" he replied

"you just need to talk things out with them and clear it to them" poultry man told me as he hold me in my shoulder.

"also, you never showed me your real face, who really are you??" I asked him since I don't know who this guy is.

"it's a secret, EX, maybe soon you will know or maybe not at all, who knows?" he replied with a shrug.

"I better get going, before something happens" he told me as he was about to take off

"Nightmares?" I asked like I already know why he wanted to check on Grian

"Nightmares" he replied in agreement and there he goes flying in the air.

I began to walk back home, well atleast what I call home, it's just a small house in a forest where no one can find me.

But something still bothers me. Some of hi features resembles Grian a bit, maybe he just borrowed one of Grian's shirt.

But still... He feels familiar..

I shook the thought out of my head and went to sleep.

But I feel something's wrong..

Meanwhile poultry man is guarding over Grian with Doc hiding and keeping an eye on them as well.... But something is still spying on them from afar..

"I'll get you one day Grian...just you wait..."
