Scar was working on the terrain in the graveyard when a chilling laugh filled the air, making him freeze. He quickly looked around, trying to spot the origin of the sound.

He didn't have to look long to find it, because rounding the corner came a cloaked figure. They were tall, but Scar got the feeling they usually weren't this tall, so it made for a pretty intimidating first meeting.

Their clothes resembled that of a plague doctor, the one with the hood instead of a hat, and it's masks eyes were glowing a faint red. Around his neck was a necklace holding something, a soul to be more precise.

Thay soon spotted him, and the laughter that had been going on non-stop quieted, they tilted their head to the side as they observed Scar intently, "My my, I see death has treated you well Scar! I'm almost jealous"

Their voice was echoey, quiet but powerful, a voice that would keep a room quite no matter how loud they spoke.

Scar tensed, he really wasn't all too comfortable with this person, a newly demised Hermit if he'd have to guess, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" asked the dark clad figure, a chuckle following the words, "I'm hurt! Don't you recognize me? Or did I kick up to much of your allergies with those flowers way back when?"

Flowers? Allergies? The only real time that had happened was back when the hippies planted flowers all over Area 77, but Impulse and Ren where already dead. Which left-"Grian?"

"Bingo!" said Grian, clapping his hands together happily, "I was getting a bit impatient there!"

"Your dead?" asked Scar, still reeling from the fact that this tall plague doctor esc figure, was Grian!

"I don't know," said the builder, quickly striding up to the other dead man before taking his head and placing it over where his heart should be, "Am I dead?"

Scar felt for a pulse, and found nothing. Grian was actually dead, he'd actually demised!

"How did you get so tall? Last time I checked you weren't taller than me!" squeaked Scar, suddenly realizing just how tall Grian now was. Scar was a respectable 6 feet, and Grian was taller than him! Instead of standing at his normal height of 4'11 feet, he was now at 6'3... How do you grow that much by dying!

"Easy!" purred Grian, thought there was something deadly behind the simple word, "I made Death kneel"

Scar laughed, thinking it was a joke, but as the other continued to stay silent his laughs died away, "Your serious, aren't you?"

"Why would I lie?" asked Grian, the red eyes of his mask glowing a bit brighter.

Scar spluttered after this, his flight or fight instinct telling him to get the hell out of there! So that's what he did. He ran away quickly, stuttering out something about telling the other dead people, leaving Grian all alone.

Before he even made it a few blocks out the graveyard he heard Grian start laughing again. And out of morbid curiosity he turned to look at what was going one, and as soon as he turned he saw it. Grian turning to black smoke, and he soon took on the appearance of a very smoky version of wraith. And as soon as he was fully turned he zoomed of, most likely to go terrorize some other Hermits.

Scar wished them the best of luck dealing with that. Some couldn't even take Ren stalking them, so they'd probably die out of fright if they ever met Grian.

And he was almost right. When he went to team ZIT, who were gathered in the war zone for some time away from the others, they almost did die when Grian came to say hello. Hell, they all fainted at first, then Tango tried to stab him. That didn't go so well, especially judging by the new message in chat:

Tango Tek was slain by Red Raven

This made the chat get spammed with confused messages, and it wasn't until he checked the Red Ravens filles that he discovered it was Grian.

So all in all? Everyone was scared by the new dead Hermit, even his fellow demised. Who knew Grian could be so scary? And act like that, seriously, it was really unsettling!

The Hermits just wished demise would be over, because they wanted their small little adorable gremlin back!


<>So...Grian's dead. And I made this, and I really like it! Imma make an AU on this, hmm the RR AU! (Red Raven) Perfect! Now I'll probably never make an actual story for it and just use it when I want to!

Also, I'm making a song comic (Kinda) and I only have 12 pages left to do. So if you want a to know how it's kinda gonna look listen to the song Saint Bernard by Lincoln, cuz that's the song I'm using.

Now have a wonderful time everyone!<>
