A Murderer Among Us | A Hermitcraft Murder Mystery |

Epilogue

Grian woke up back at his base. His body ached. A LOT. He winced, as he tried to sit up. He barely remembered anything, like there was a big gap in his memory, but that last thing he remembered was TNT. W-Where was that? He thought, staring at the red sheets of his bed. 

"Grian!" He looked up, hearing the familiar voice. Iskall swooped down from the center of his base.

"Hey Iskall," Grian said. "Why're you here?"

"Just wanted to see how you're doing." Iskall said, as he sat on the bed next to Grian. He took a bag of swedish fish out of his pocket.

"How many bags do you have?" Grian asked, remembering the other times Iskall had Swedish fish. 

"Dude! I have like, three more," Iskall replied, as he dumped his other three bags onto the bed. "You're welcome to have one."

"Oh, thanks!" Grian exclaimed, as he quickly swiped a bag off the bed. They sat quietly, eating their Swedish fish. Grian desperately tried to remember what happened. What happened? Why can't I remember anything??

"Iskall?"

"Yep?"

"What happened?" He asked, looking down at his feet. Iskall paused, not quite understanding his question.

"What do you mean?"

"Like...I can't remember anything, and the last thing I remember is TNT..."

"Ohhh...you mean that vacation?" Iskall realized. Grian nodded.

"I think...?"

"Ohhhhhhhh...that happened a few days ago..." Iskall said, continuing to eat his Swedish fish.

"A few days ago? That felt like yesterday..." Grian said, remembering the TNT very clearly.

"See, it was basically a murder mystery. People kept dying, so we tried to figure it out. Only three of us survived though," He paused, chewing the gummy, "You know, now that I think about it, the ones killed didn't respawn when we got back. I'm assuming that you guys respawned today."

"So, who survived?" Grian asked, intrigued.

"Umm...It was me...Doc...and Cub I think,"

"And who died?"

"Impulse, Tango, Zedaph...uhh...Mumbo, Xisuma...you obviously...Ren and Scar,"

"And did you figure out who it was?"

"Yep."

"Who was it?"

Iskall hesitated. "Umm...Scar...I think..."

"Scar?!" Grian thought for a while. "But...why?"

"He said that he'd get a lot of diamonds if he killed all of us. But he got caught before he could finish it," Iskall shrugged. "It doesn't really fit his character though, it's like he was possessed or something,"

"Hmm..."

"Why're you even worrying about that now? Scar learned his lesson from Doc," Iskall said as he took a bite out of the Swedish fish.

"I don't know...it just feels wrong." Grian said, playing with the fish gummy in his hand. There was a long pause.

"I'm tired." Grian finally said. He leaned on Iskall's shoulder.

"Same, dude. These past few days were crazy." Iskall said, but Grian was already asleep. Iskall smiled. He put his head onto Grian's and drifted off to sleep.
