Many people have secrets. Most of them were something... reasonable. Something that someone else can relate to, if you look deep enough. Xanthus was certain, however, that no one shared his secret. Not everyone was a complete freak. And hiding something as powerful as complete control over fire is not something that you find in your average highschooler. No one knew. No one could know. He didn't really fancy being tied to a machine as scientists experimented on him anyways. Xay was rather good at keeping secrets. Until he met Hels. Join the pair on a dangerous journey of secrets, disguises, lies, and discovering more about themselves than they ever knew before. Fire runs through their veins. Very old, would not recommend reading! Proceed at your own risk! /lh

The Hermits once again have shenanigans coming their way as Helsknight starts causing mayhem on the server. Trying to summon every Hels to the server to destroy HermitCraft and take control. Will the hermits be able to save their server? Or will Helsknight be able to take over HermitCraft for his own evil wrongdoings? I guess you will have to read to find out....... That's all I'm sharing with you! But, a lot more happens than the description I put here! So please check this out! Oct 16- #2 in HermitCraft!!!! Oct 20- 1k reads! Oct 22- Shoutout to SpaceFloat for drawing the cover!

[EvilXisuma has joined the game.] The message rang throughout the server, a slight ding coming from every hermit's communicator. Xisuma didn't really pay any mind to the ding, as it was common for the hermits to chat using the comms system. It's the sudden flood of messages afterwards that startled the admin greatly. Thirteen or fourteen messages all at once, with more on the way. (Cover made by @EaglewingsRPandBooks , aka me)

"Grian?" X panted. The figure before them stood, revealing that it was, indeed, Grian, although he was not looking great, His hair was wind-blown, sure, but it looked even more disheveled than that. His flying had been so sloppy that Xisuma had barely recognized him at first. His chestplate seemed to have been strapped on in a hurry, as it hung awkwardly on his body. And then there were his eyes. Bags had formed under them and they were quite bloodshot, yet there was a certain wildness to them. His eyes were wide open despite his fatigue, and he looked more than a little frantic. "Guys! You can't be here!" "What?" X tilted his head in confusion. "Why not?" Grian turned to Scar. "Can't you feel it?" Scar didn't understand. "Grian? What are you talking about? Feel what?" "The magic!" Grian cried. "It's too dangerous for you to be here!" "Grian, you're not making any sense." By now, Grian was visibly shaking. "Just - please tell me you didn't go inside." "We were just coming out," X replied. Grian's eyes, if even possible, grew larger, the redness accentuating the anxiety therein. No - not anxiety. Fear. What happens when Xisuma, Scar, Joe, and Wels stumble upon a strange temple in a distant jungle filled to the brim with magic? What happens when Grian's past is thrust back upon him, after only a year of peace? And why is everyone changing?

Grian logged out one night on the server, but hasn't been on seen since. With no communication with him for days, the hermits turn to Mumbo. They ask if he can go visit Grian again. Hope you enjoy <3

~~~~~~~ Xisuma was an admin appointed by the Watchers. He is stuck under their control, and he hates every second of it. He's forced to let the watchers look through his eyes, use him like a puppet. But when a new watcher appears, Xisuma may have a chance to escape their control, to free the server from their grip. But he's going to have to make a choice. Save Grian, the new watcher, Or save himself. ~~~~~~~ An original watcher au, created by thathermitweirdo I'm posting this on A03 as well!

A small boy wearing nothing but white and gray ran through the quieted parts of the popular server. He ran until he found the secret redstone door he saw his friend, and only friend to be frank, make it before his eyes. The boy stepped on the stone pressure plate, watching the pistols unfold the door in front of him. He couldn't help but be awestruck everytime. Beyond there laid his friend he made just a year ago when he was allowed to visit another server for the first time. - • - A Hermitcraft 6 AU. Yes, I know Season 7 is running right now but Season 6 is just a lot more fun and it works the best for this story in general. [ Story completed on July 26, 2020 ]
