Grian posts in the chat to who everyone who's awake to meet him in his infinity room in urgency. Only Iskall,Mumbo, X, and Cleo show up as it's midnight. As soon as they were sure everyone who was coming were there X asked what was wrong having no prior knowledge of anything that could be wrong. Tarturis was standing off to the side thinking about he recognized one person he saw before the cloaked figure. As Grain started to explain what was happening to the other three in the room with. " I think someone somehow followed Taurtis because we both saw a figure and it wasn't anyone we know for a fact and I think I recognized the their cloak". Everyone except the one who was still thinking was shocked at Grians seriousness at this situation they listened to him and as Mumbo was about ask how he thought he recognized them they heard an explosion outside of Grians base. They ran out as quickly as they could and saw only a single pice of obsidian and a single pice of what looked to be black concrete. No damage as far as they could tell which was very odd the started to get very confused and concerned. Iskall suggested they went to Sahara. They thought that it would it would be a good idea due to its abundance of windows. Taurtis was also just very curious as to what it looked like.

As we walked to Grians workplace I looked around and thought about just how much have I missed of Grians life? Also who was that pink haired figure I saw earlier I recognized them but from were? Who was that other figure that me and Grian saw? Were would I know someone with pink hair if Sam were here he'd probably be able to figure it out he had been redeemed after that mess in their high school days. So there was no true need to worry about him. But still he'd probably be able to tell me were I recognized them from.

Iskall pov

As we walked I thought about the two blocks that were left their this is getting more serious then I thought it would. There has to be a significance to the two blocks why would there be a block that's used to make portals and a block that's associated with roads be there what's the significance? There had to be one they were obviously picked intentionally. How could they not be. Also just was Grian going to tell them before he was cut off?

Mumbos pov
How was there no damage that sounded like a big explosion yet there was nothing. I was cut off before asking how although Grian was already about to explain. He looked super serious about this problem so I am too. But just what is going on we had Taurtis show up and now something else was happening and that it is not good is enough concern for extreme worry on his part.

Cleo's pov
I came over to Grians base because he never messages this late especially to everyone. They saw a figure and now that reminds me of a figure I saw within the last couple of days. It looked to be male but I could be wrong. This is getting more worrisome the more I think about it these figures are one in the same just how long have they been spying on us without us noticing! Much to long already!

X's pov
I'll have to check the logs this isn't something that should be happening. I try to look calm on the outside but on the inside I'm freaking out this is wrong. Is this connected to the two figures I saw a couple days ago if it is how long have they been here Taurtis hasn't even been here two days yet these figures have been here at the very least more than a week! I shouldn't have brushed off those figures.

They made it to Sahara within twenty minutes but it felt like hours with all of their minds racing. As they walked up to the doors Taurtis tripped face first on to the ground. He luckily didn't have a bloody nose. They entered and made their way towards the office/meeting space. The three owners got chairs for the others to sit down. They started to talk to try to release the tension in the room at least a bit before they got to why they were there in the first place. Cleo is the first to mention anything else to do with why hey were there with the figure she saw a couple days ago. That surprised everyone at the table but after a few moments X talked about two figures he saw some days prior to the events that had transpired during that evening Taurtis puts in he saw them the day prior. After that was said the got to discussing ideas on how and why they were here as the clearly didn't follow Taurtis as he showed up after them. After a few ideas were spread around the table on what could be these figures motivations they came up with one that stuck out. They're looking for something or someone. This stuck out due to the fact it seemed  actually possible. It was far from being out of the range of possibilities due to how they know very little about these people. As they talked Iskall thought back to a weird sand tower with a pink block he saw a week prior he thought it was worth mentioning so he did. X said he saw it to but didn't think anything of it. Grian looked a little more concerned and so did Taurtis. They looked at each other with a knowing look. X asked what was look for? Grian looked the others dead in the eyes and said "Its the watchers and they have a new allie."
