Hermitcraft Time Travel AU

Edit from the future: This is genuinely terrible. Please save yourself the time and don't read it.

Zedaph is awesome and deserves more love. Also in this AU, I put their Minecraft characters in real life.

******************************

Sunlight cascaded through the canopy, bathing Zedaph in a cool green light. The birds screamed happily from their perches in the trees. It was a beautiful day. He hopped over a fallen tree that was blocking the trail and turned the volume of his headphones up a bit. He was so engrossed in his music that it took him nearly five minutes to realize that the birdsong had stopped.

He put his headphones in his backpack and listened for a moment to hear if the birds really did stop singing. Once he had confirmation, he walked around, pressing his ear up to each tree in the vicinity before finding one that apparently suited his needs and started staring intensely at it. He didn't have to wait long before a swirling blue vortex opened in the thick trunk.

Two brown boots emerged, followed by grey trousers, a maroon vest, a black tailcoat, and dirty-blond hair. Finally, a man stumbled out of the portal and immediately got a face full of dirt as he landed on the ground with a thud.

"Hello, time traveler!" Zedaph said cheerily.

The newcomer sat up and looked around, confused.

"W-what? Where am I? What did you just call me?" he said in a distinct English accent.

"You're a first-timer then. Don't worry. My name is Zedaph. The others and I will help you get situated."

"T-the others?"

"The other time travelers of course! I'll explain while we walk."

******************************

Grian listened with rapt attention as Zedaph explained.

"Basically, time travel exists but only a select few can do it. Some people go their whole lives without ever knowing they have the power. But some people, like yourself, accidentally open a portal and come to a different time. Time travel does come naturally but you still have to practice to get better."

"Sorry what?"

"Time travel. By your clothes, I'm assuming you come from the early 1860s."

"What year is it now?"

"2020."

"Why should I believe you?"

"See for yourself."

Zedaph took out his phone and showed it to Grian.

"What on Earth is that‽"

"It's like a telegraph only completely different. You can have it for now and see if you can find out how it works."

"Strange. How do I get back?"

"A portal should open on its own in a month or two but it's possible for you to learn how to open it sooner."

"How do you know all this? Are you a time-traveler too?"

The Brit smiled.

"I wish. I'm just an ordinary guy who helps them out and shelters them."
