The rest of the AU is basically explained in the story, so go read it now please!>

It was the day of the first server meeting of season six, and everyone was excited. Not only did they want to talk about what they've been doing the past week, but they also wanted to meet the new Hermit too. X had told them the new guy would be a bit late, so no one had seen him. At least not that everyone knew of, for two people had met with him.

Almost everyone was gathered in the temporary build where the meetings would be held, a crudely made house with the only decorations being a table and chairs. As they waited, small talk, and eventually gossip, bloomed. Questions like "What was the new guy like?" and "Why are the Convex late?" were the most common.

Everything grew quite as Tango suddenly tensed up in fear, eyes glued to the door. Everyone turned as the door was opened, Cub and Scar walking in with pleased smiles on their faces. Though Tango wasn't focused on them, but the person behind them.

The man that walked in behind them was clad in a pristine black suit with a red dress shirt under it. Around his neck was a dark crimson ascot. His shoes were black and had a slight shine to them, like they'd been recently polished.

That was the normal parts of him, all the other stuff wasn't that normal.

Behind him a long slender tail with scales that looked to be able to raise up (which would make them look like an armadillo lizard's tail), the scales were a combination of red, dark crimson and black in color. Atop his head rested two dark crimson eland horns that turned black at the tips. His ears were red tipped, long and pointed upwards, different kinds of ear piercings decorating them both. His hair was fluffy and long, pulled into a ponytail, and dirty blond. A stark contrast to the rest of his dark appearance. His hands were also clawed and tipped with red. The last thing they all noticed were his eyes, or the fact that he had four of them. They were like Tango's, with a dark red sclera, bright red iris, and dark pupil.

Seems like there was another demon on the Hermitcraft server. And something told the Hermits that this one wasn't like Tango, not one bit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, plus Doc." Started Scar, a bit confused when Doc didn't object to having his own category. "May we here at Concorp introduce our newest member, Grian!"

Grian gave the hermits a small wave, no one returned it.

Scar frowned at them, this wasn't what he had expected. He turned to look at Cub, but he didn't get a response since his bearded partner was looking elsewhere.

"Really?" Asked Cub with an unimpressed raised eyebrow. "You're all afraid of him?"

Some of the Hermits winced in shame, whilst others looked away. Scar gaped at them, not really believing it. Grian just looked resigned, though he did hide it well.

"No need for such dramatics Cub." Purred Grian in silky smooth voice. And although it didn't seem fully really, it did a good job of it. "I believe they're just reacting from your other demon friend's reaction to me. It was quite harsh, I believe you could say?"

"Huh, makes sense." Agreed Scar. "We don't really see Tango startled like this alot. And why is that? Why did he react like that?"

Tango was the one who answered, having calmed down. "Power. A natural reaction to meeting a demon more powerful than you is to be afraid, especially if they're a stranger to you." The redstoner looked at Grian with narrowed eyes. "But how did you get so powerful? I can feel you're a half demon like me, but you have the power of a full one."

"Souls." Was the other demons deadpanned answer. "Well-one soul. But you get the point."

"You killed someone? Like, permanently?" Squeaked Mumbo, scooting closer to Iskall.

"That tends to be the case when you take a soul." Said Grian, a small self satisfied smirk on his face. "But don't feel sad about it, bastard had it coming."

"What did he do? Walk on your shoes?" Asked Iskall, not as afraid as others of Grian. X trusted him enough to invite him to Hermitcraft, so he can't be too bad. Plus he couldn't really take the fancily dressed demon seriously.

"He killed my husband actually." Answered Grian in an overly jovial tone.

Iskall let out a shocked splutter, obviously not expecting that to be the answer. Neither did anyone else, as they all looked at him with horror and shock.

Grian looked at them through half lidded eyes, a dark air around him. "Do you really think I gave up half my soul to come back to life as a half demon just for fun? Honestly, it's like you've never experienced anything like this before."

"Because we haven't." Admitted Doc after getting over his surprise.

Grian raised an eyebrow at the admin, "Really? Then what about him-" He motioned to Tango. "-over there?"

"I was born a half demon!" Cried Tango.

"Oh." Was Grian's simply reply.

"Are, are you ok?" Asked Stress gently, concerned eyes looking at Grian.

The dirty blond let out an echoy laugh. "Hah, no. Haven't been for years."

"When did all of this happen?" Asked Ren. "The death and becoming part demon thing I mean."

"Uh, around five years I think." Said Grian, counting it out on his fingers, "We got married around when we were twenty, and we were married for about a year before we died. So yeah, four year sounds right."

"That's not a very long time." Stated Cub, a glint of worry in his eyes.

"Oh, I know." Said Grian, a slight comforting smile on his face. "That's why X invited me here, he said you could all help me."

Joe looked at Xisuma with understanding in his eyes. "Well good that he invited you here then. We're the best there is at helping people heal."

"Wait, is that what we are now?" Asked Zedaph. "A therapy group which doubles as a family?"

The others gave a "I guess?" shrug, not really knowing themselves.

Xisuma smiled, seeming like everyone was getting along now. Even if it took bringing up a dead loved one, yeah not very ideal but it worked he supposed. "Are we ready to have the first server meeting of season six?"

Cries of "yeah!" filled the room, they had been waiting for quite a bit to get started. Grian sat down with Scar and Cub on either side of him, his small stature being visible now. Which shocked everyone. Because Grian had looked to be around Cub's height when standing, but now that he was sitting he looked to be shorter than even Stress.

X snickered. "I don't think your illusion lasted any longer Gri-on."

Grian looked down at himself, and then at everyone who was looking down at him. "Crap. Can you all pretend I'm still 6'1 please?"

"Never." Smirked Cleo. "You are way less scary when you're 5 feet nothing."

"He isn't even that." Butted X in. "He's 4'11, and sure, he's close to 5 feet, but he isn't there."

Grian huffed at them, all four eyes narrowing at the two of them. Scar leaned towards his new partner, "Don't worry, we'll get them later."

The dirty blond grinned up at him, flashing the brunette his sharp teeth.

Maybe he didn't have a family here just yet. But something told him he would have one eventually. Man, he really owed X for this.

<And that's the third to last one-shot done! Now we just have to finish one song fic and the last part of Black rose before we move onto the new book! 

Now stay safe and have a wonderful time everyone!>
