The small band of hermits are trapped behind bars in a dimension that is not their own. Mumbo's heart has been torn in two by the very person he thought was his brother. Zeqain the lead watcher rules over the High Kingdom and the End along side his partner in crime, The End Queen... What all will happen? How will the hermits escape? Will Mumbo's heart ever be mended? Will Grian fix the mess he made, or will he keep it all this way..? Welcome to book 2, where a certain little flame soon decides to do more... than burn and destroy.

Secrets, mysteries, friendships, and wars... What is the worst of it? The best? Will betrayal come? Or love? With friendships last when secrets are revealed? I know, sucky description. I literally just started writing it. I'll figure out something better. But in the mean time... All hermitcraft characters do not belong to me!! (Obviously) I only own the teachers, and the royals and such. Literally the only characters that DON'T belong to me are the hermits- soo...... Yeah. Including Watchers and Listeners. I'll come up with something better eventually. Also Cover was drawn by me. NO STEALING! Also for any that had just gone through reading it or whatever as of March 2022- please forgive me for apparently (I think, it was a little confusing) not publishing chapter One! I had not noticed til today (20th). But now it is there! And if I had already published it, sorry for the confusion. I myself am very much confused.

Xelqua (or Grian to the hermits) isn't sure what he is. He's always hidden from Minecraftia, hidden behind various masks and hoods. If the full truth about the mysterious prime admin were to be revealed the entire world would face catastrophic consequences. As the watchers rise to prevail over the admins, and Minecraftia is thrown into dark turmoil, Grian will have to make a choice. A choice that could destroy the entire world along with all his friends. The Higher Powers are Grian's only chance to save Minecraftia. Only to find their descendants, Grian will have to journey through ancient servers with his fellow hermits and keep his identity secret. Truths are revealed. Promises are broken. And a web of lies threatens to be destroyed forever. "Did I have a choice?" Grian pleaded, "You always had a choice," Xisuma whispered. #1 In MumboJumbo #1 In Watchers #1 In Admins #2 In HermitcraftAU #28 In Grian -Entered in 2022 Watty Awards -A Grian Hermitcraft-Evo-Watcher Crossover AU -Heavily inspired & some plot points are taken from @Ariyaquila

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 ]

In the world of Minecraft, there are two beings that have powers. They are the Admins and Watchers, known as the universe's arms. Both disagreeing with what the other did to help, and violence was the way they chose to carry it out. That was years ago, it was brought to an end by four that the universe trusted, they were called Primals, having extraordinary powers. Now, trouble is brewing, the Watchers has captured an Admin, more specifically, a Primal Admin. What would happen when he escapes? How far are the Watchers willing to go for the experiment they are having? Will the Primals finally stop the conflict between the two sides? Do all the Primals have good intentions? Or do they mask the malicious intent they have? Could someone behind the scenes be pulling strings? == Cover Drawn and Edited by me, hope you enjoy this story! ~Yes another Watcher & Admin AU ~Why are you reading this horribly written story ~I need sleep ~My head hurts again AAAAA (No worries, I'm oki) ~Sorry in advance for the terrible plot

Sam was gone, for good, Mumbo had killed him and he hadn't respawned. He was dead. Grian trusted in the kindness of the world and he opened up, but that was his biggest mistake. Because what if Sam wasn't dead? What if they had been tricked by a simple hack? What if Scar and Mumbo went missing? What if they were taken? Grian would have to find out the consequences of those 'what if's the hard way. A sequel to "Sam's Back", I suggest reading that first if you haven't already since otherwise this won't make sense. A YHS/Hermitcraft fanfic. Angsty. There's some mild Grumbo shipping but it could just be seen as platonic. Also Scar/Cub shipping, but only really at the very end and you can ignore it if you want. Trigger warnings: death loops, permadeath, Sam being Sam, manipulation, self hatred, torture, general angsty stuff. There's a happy ending though! Also, this is a continuation of my imaginative book covers and chapter titles! Word count: approx 14,700 words

Grian was getting used to the safety of the Hermitcraft server quite well. He still had bad days in which all the memories of his high school life came back to him and ate away at his mind. However, he also had good days, when he could spend time with his friends and live happily, normally. On one of his bad days though, he finds a white bunny with a nametag reading 'Sam' wrapped around it's neck. It was an accident, surely, probably part of Stress's shenanigans. Probably just a coincidence that the handwriting spelling the name looked like someone else's... someone from Grian's past. But Grian wasn't thinking of what it probably was when he ran. But it turns out, running has consequences. OR Samgladiator joined the game A YHS/Hermicraft fanfic, involves very mild Grumbo shipping but you can read it as purely platonic if that's what you want. Trigger warnings are: death (not permadeath), knives, stabbing, abuse, fighting, manipulation, PTSD, Sam being Sam, blood and general angsty stuff. Don't worry though, it has a happy ending! Also yes my front cover and chapter titles are very imaginative. Word count: approx 10200

When the past he's been running from is shoved into his face and secrets revealed, Grian's forced back into a world he thought he long since escaped. Grian's a prankster and good at flying, this was bound to happen eventually.

Grian's life was shattered into a million pieces a long time ago. So long ago, he didn't know whether it was ever even whole. When he joined Hermitcraft after running away from the Watchers, it was starting to come together, until season eight began and his life was thrown into chaos. The Watchers were there, and he didn't even know if they were good or bad anymore. He didn't know who to be scared of. And he was forced to question everything in silence, finding refuge only in his magic. And unfortunately for him, things don't always go the way he might have expected - not that he really had any expectations, anyway. There is some mild swearing. (The cover is literally just a picture of a galaxy about 140 million light years away taken by NASA) Total word count: approx. 40,000

✦ Complete ✦ !DISCLAIMER I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT HERMITCRAFT! me mixing three universes into one. bare with me here. Grian has already had a traumatic childhood. He ran to Yandere High School in a frantic attempt to escape his parents, and *him*. Unfortunate for Grian though, Sam followed. And so, he ran again, using his Watcher powers he always feared so much to his advantage. Grian landed in Hermitcraft, where he was finally free to be himself.. kind of. Some hermits never trusted him much, others welcomed his company. However, they were absolutely terrified of Watchers. They *hated* watchers. When Season 7 rolled around, Grian feels something isn't right. He doesn't know whether he should drop his "always happy!" act, or whether he should call for help. He might make his decision too late though. TW// TORTURE, GORE & BLOOD, SELF HARM, DEPRESSION & SEVERE ANXIETY, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, INHUMAN TREATMENT, DEATH Every chapter will have a labeled warning!
