Hermitcraft: Escaping Insanity

Chapter 13

Grian's POV
I'm hanging around with xel at scar's base since scar wanted us to stay at his base and I have no idea why.

I was watching scar building and Terraforming his base when xel spoke up.

"hey grian" xel started

"hm?"

"is that creeper cyborg or doc you called really that, ummmm, scary?" he asked

"nah, he may sound intimidating but he's a good guy when u know him"

"uh huh?, he just looks scary to me" he added

"well if we merged into one again then maybe you will know him better, since our memories will you know, combine"

"yeah.." he replied.

I looked at him "you don't want to be merged, don't u?" I asked

"no I want to, since I'm you and you are me!, it's just that. If we merge I don't know if we or I will choose to stay here or go back to Evo"

We went quiet for almost 20 minutes thinking about what were gonna do if we merge back into one, there's 2 choices for us well or me to choose, whether stay here or go back to Evo.

Everything was getting awkward when we heard a firework behind us and it was iskall.

"hey G and xel!!" iskall greeted.

"oh hey iskall!!" I greeted back

"hey" xel greeted with a little hint of sadness in his voice.

"you two have been hanging out which is great and xel, EX wanted to meet you back at grian's base" iskall told Xel.

"alright" he replied.

"I wanna stay long but I have to help doc and xisuma on containing Sam on his new place, I'll meet you guys later okay?" iskall told us as he flew away.

"is he a fighter??" xel asked.

"yeah, why?" I questioned

"he always carries a sword with him, and I wanted to know if he's a good fighter, I was thinking I could easily beat him" xel exclaimed

I crossed my arms and stare at him with a grin "don't judge a book by its cover xel, iskall may not look like a fighter but he's a pro" I said proudly

"uh huh?, I would like to fight him sometime" he suggested.

"you can ask him when he's free"

He got up and stretched his wings "welp, I'm going to your base, since EX is waiting for me"

"sure thing!" I replied, "I'll stay here admiring the view" and with that he took off, then i heard a voice from behind me.

"admiring scar's build I see" I jumped and looked behind me and it was diamond, the male watcher that was with braids.

"Pls don't scare me like that"

"sorry about that, but I'm here to get you to check on void"

"xisuma???, why??" I asked

"hes not having a good time, he might need help, he's at his base"

"I'll go to him right now" I exclaimed

"alright, I'll see you soon gri" and he disappeared.

I then took off spamming fireworks towards where xisuma's base is since diamond said he isn't in a good situation rn but something is bugging me....

Why does his presence feels... Familiar...

Scar's POV
I was building my base when I heard fireworks and I saw iskall talked to grian and xel.

After that xel left to go somewhere and the male watcher from last time appeared scaring grian and told him something but I don't know what since I'm far away from them then the watcher left and grian left the base.

I noticed grian was thinking deeply in his thoughts

I wonder what is going on his head.

But I know something is off with that watcher, I just can't get my fingers on it but, something tells me he's been keeping an eye on grian a lot which concerns me.

Xisuma's POV
I was on the floor crying on my knees, filled with regret and my helmet was on the ground with a crack but I couldn't care less.

I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't hear the fireworks then someone held my shoulder.

I flinched since I was surprised and when I turned around I saw grian with a concerned eyes.

He then get on his knees so he can be in my eye level and stared at me with concern

"what happen X??? Are you OK??? Are you hurt??? Where is your helmet???" he questioned me but I didn't response.

I try to avoid eye contact but he kept insisting until I got pulled into a hug

"im here X, don't worry, I can help you whatever is bothering you, there's also the other Hermits who will help" he tried to reassured me

I hugged him back and closed my eyes trying to calm down. "thank you... Grian..." I whispered

"no problem" he replied as we broke the the hug, he then grabbed my helmet on the floor nearby.

"it's cracked" he said

"dont worry about it, I'll fix it" I then took it from him.

I saw him staring at my left arm and my face "is something in my face??" I asked

"xisuma... Why do you have a scar across your left eye???" he asked "and your arm, it's shaking, is it hurting??" he asked again staring at my left arm.

"oh... The scar is a long story.... My arm..... It hurts.." I replied

He then grabbed my arm slowly but I flinched.

I completely forgot I crashed myself into my base so I might have broke it.

"I think it's broken X, we need to go to scar, he can help with this" he suggested.

I just simply nod and put on my helmet with my right arm, even if it's cracked I can still use it and see.

I was about to stand up when grian stopped me "wait" he said and I didn't move until he ripped his bottom shirt

"what are you-" I was cut off when he placed the cloth on my arm and on my neck to make a semi sling arm.

"this will keep your arm ln place while we fly there" he replied.

"but... Your shirt.."

"nah, I have plenty of these" he replied

We then went outside my base and grian adjusted his elytra and fireworks, I was about to get my fireworks when grian stopped me.

"no X, I'm flying us there, with that arm of urs I'm concerned" I tried to protest but soon enough I gave in and he flew us both towards scar's base.

But something caught my attention, why would grian rip his bottom shirt if he can rip the one on his sleeve... Is he hiding something???
