Sorry for the wait. School is taking a lot out of me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Athena's POV-

I blinked a few times feeling the light on my face. I sat up yawning remembering the events of last night. I leaned up against the back of the couch, I wanted to go back to sleep but I had a big day ahead of me. I mean it's not everyday someone comes to a world locked away for hundreds of years.

I rubbed my face and got off the couch. I stretched quickly and walked downstairs. I was planning to make a breakfast for the hermits. It was 4 am so I thought I had plenty of time. I mean who in their right mind would get up at 4 am on purpose. 

I stepped down the creaky stairs. I got to the bottom of the staircase and  started walking to the kitchen. Then I saw two people out of the corner of my eye. I turned around quickly, taking out a dagger out of my pocket. I saw Xisuma sitting on the couch messing around with screens, most likely an admin panel. Joe was reading my book about myths.

I let out a sigh of relief putting the dagger back in my pocket. 'I stand corrected' I laughed greeted the 2. "Good morning, what are you doing up so early?

Joe looked up from his book smiling. "I decided to read on this fine morning. I hope you don't mind." I shrugged and smiled at him. "I don't mind at all! Ummm what is Xisuma doing?

Xisuma looked up "huh?, oh yeah" He turned off the admin panel with one motion of his hand before speaking. "Making sure the hermitcraft server doesn't fall apart. It's quite rare that I leave the server" I nodded at him before I walked to the kitchen.

I started making eggs when I finally remembered I never exactly asked them why they were here. I mean it should've been the first thing I asked but I mean I was shocked so I couldn't really blame myself. "Oh we forgot to tell you why we are here." Joe said smoothly. My eyes widened, can he read minds!! "Yeah I was just about to ask?" I said trying to hide the shock in my voice.

Joe looked to Xisuma. Without skipping a beat Xisuma launched into the story about the events leading up to them coming here. Honestly, they were lucky things didn't turn out worse.

-Time skip-

Everyone was sitting in my living room;  they were talking about the events of yesterday. I realized that Grian, Iskall, and Mumbo where still in their room. "Hey, could one of you guys wake up the others. We have some things to discuss."

Stress got up and walked upstairs. Knowing the info about what had happened to their friend I was confused on how they could be joking around. Maybe it was a way of dealing with it. The hermits were so cheerful, but their predicament was the opposite.

I heard the creaking of the door then I heard a scream. I cringed at the scream, but I knew it was just a prank so I tried to chill, but I couldn't  something about the scream was off. Then, I heard loud footsteps like someone was running down the stairs. No not a person, two people

We all looked at the bottom of the stairs. Stress and Grian were running down the stairs, Stress had tears running down her face and Grian seemed generally shocked. I then noticed Grian had blood on him. I was at a loss for words. We all were. Xisuma seemed to shake the shock before he screamed "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!" 

Grian looked down at the floor shaking "Herobrine has Iskall."
