The hermit stepped through the portal before everyone else. He started picking up some flowers and waiting for everyone to show up through the portal.
He walked back to the portal and saw that everyone was there already, he had leaves and sticks in his hair while he was carrying a ton of flowers in his hands.

This was the first time everyone met with the builder, and everyone had an amazing time with the hermit, pranking, talking, and even starting a war together.
The hermit was starting to build Sahara with iskall since mumbo was not available.
"Hey Gri, shouldn't we just use TNT to terraform? It would be easier."
"I-uhm.. no thanks we-.. we could just dig it outright?"
"Woah Grian you've got a stutter there, you doing okay?"
"Mhm just... Tired?"
"Sureee.." Iskall said, placing the tnt to see how he'd react.
The hermit took one look and turned his head and started to look away.
Iskall took notice of this. "Grian.. could you Uhm.. hold the tnt for me?"
"Huh-" The hermit felt his heart drop, wanted to getaway. The memories overloaded in his head making him feel dizzy. He felt himself fall on his knees, trying to get up and deal with Sahara but ended up passing out on the floor.
"Grian!? Grian can you hear me?" Iskall checked the hermit's pulse, sighing and placing him on a bed.

Grian woke up the next day only to find iskall making concrete next to him. "I-Iskall-?!"
"Oh, Gri you're awake, you want to tell me what caused you fainting or..?"
"I-uhm.. no.."
Iskall sighed, putting his hand on the hermit's shoulder and looking him in the eyes.
"Grian, you must tell me alright? I want to help you."
"But I don't-"
"Grian.. please."
"Fine fine! Don't go all puppy dog eyes on me!" Grian pouted. Iskall laughed, waiting to hear the explanation.
"Alright so, I developed vasovagal syncope from the old server I was in. Vasovagal syncope is caused when you have a sudden drop of blood pressure that's often triggered by a reaction to something alarming."
"Grian are you scared of tnt?"
"N-no. Just have horrible memories with the block.."
"And what are those memories?"
"I don't-"
"Grian."
"I hate you"
Iskall chuckled.
"So, the reason I developed vasovagal syncope is because of the so-called watchers in my server. I basicall-" Grian was interrupted by his head feeling dizzy and his vision getting blurry. He fell on his head, hitting a rock and making it bleed.

"Grian you were saying?" Iskall asked with his body faced backward from Grian. He heard a loud thump then a click and decided to turn his back only to see Grian on the floor with his skull cracked and bleeding.
"Grian!" Iskall yelled, rushing to get some bandages. He got some and placed the hermit on the bed, trying not to panic.
Grian almost woke up immediately after he put the bandages on him.
"Iskall...?"
"Phew.. Grian you fell and your head hit a rock."
"Oh is that what the bandages are for?" Grian said, getting up.
"Stay down until I'm finished getting all the concrete, I'm not going to baby you"
"You're kinda babying me right now Iskall! I can get up, I'm not injured in my arms or legs right?"
Iskall sighed.
"I forgot how stubborn you are- Go grab the shulker boxes we're going continue building the walls."
"Haha! Knew you always fall for that!" Grian said, getting up and grabbing an elytra and started building the walls of Sahara.
Iskall chuckled, slowly heading over to build.

After a while, they were near the end of the first wall and they were up so high from the ground. Placing blocks of concrete and making the walls even and the logo correct. Iskall was finished with his side so he landed on the ground.
"Grian I think it's good now! We don't have to use tnt to blow it back upright?"
The hermit's heard dropped the second he heard the word TNT.
"Grian? Hello?! You alright?" Iskall yelled, looking at him.
Grian's vision became blurry as he held onto one of the letters while standing on scaffolding.
"Grian?"
The hermit slipped and lost grip as he fell towards the ground.
"GRIAN!" He yelled. Running toward him and frantically trying to catch him. He held slime blocks and caught Grian safety but scraped his knee on the concrete floor. He limped over to the bed and put him on the bed again.

"Hello? Iskall?" Xisuma said, confused about why he called.
"Xisuma come to Sahara, bring some bandages cause I ran out. I scraped one of my knees trying to save Grian cause he suddenly passed out while we were building.
"You what now? I'm coming right over, stay there."

Xisuma came over and started bandaging Iskall's wound while talking with him about Grian.
"Iskall how did Grian pass out, like did something trigger him or?"
"No, I don't think so. Might just be a reaction to past trauma since he passed out when I said the word tnt."
"Oh uh.. Iskall I'm not supposed to tell you this but I'm going to tell you s proportion or Grian's past before hermitcraft alright?."
"Alrighty! I promise to keep it a secret"
Xisuma chuckled. "Sure, So. On his last day on the server after he finished killing the ender dragon, he came back to his village in Evo and everyone was dead. Someone named Sam and the watchers blew and set his village on fire. I'm pretty sure this is his past trauma."
"Poor Grian.. He's so happy who knew he would have such a sad past.."
"Iskall, I think Grian has Vasovagal syncope instead of PTSD. The past trauma may have cause
He not to eat much since he was upset, therefore he wasn't keeping up his blood volume and causing him to pass out from shock."
"You might be right but we'll have to see when he wakes up.
