'Being tortured isn't that bad once you get used to it' After years of the AHA, or Annihilating Hazardous Anomalies, plucking his feathers from his wings and torturing him, Grian has lost all hope of getting out of his chains. Until one day a new employee comes in and instead of torturing him, he sets Grian free. I do not ship any of the real people, only their personas. This is my first story so if you have anything that you don't like please tell me and I will improve from it! There is blood and gore in this story so if you don't like that sort of stuff then don't read this. There is also LGBT+ so don't read if your homophobic. The cover art is not mine but I couldn't find who drew it to give credit. If anyone knows I will gladly tag them for credit.

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

Would you hide a part of yourself? You might do it if that part scared you. After a while, you might get good at hiding your secrets and past. Grian had experience with that sort of thing, and now he must do it once again - but it's so much harder this time. I am writing this for AO3, but I decided to start posting it on here as well Because of that, updates might be slow even though I update the AO3 version very VERY often This takes place in Season 7, and begins during the Mayoral Campaign

Grian is the most feared assassin known for his ability to kill swiftly and quietly. Hiding away, he holds a grudge against the King and anyone with power of unknown reasons. After an failed assassination attempt and a small look into the kingdom's history a few people start to wonder who the assassin really is. And even fewer wonder if they used to know the feared assassin. Only if they could capture him would all their questions answered. Right? Completed May 4th, 2023 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is this my first hermitcraft fanfiction? Yes. Will everyone be ooc? Yep. Is there a copious amount of plot holes and weird writing? Yea Do I know what I'm doing? Absolutely not. I will add tags as the story goes. Enjoy!

This story takes place in the timeline after Evo, where Grian goes through the update portal and ends up in Hermitcraft instead of with the rest of his friends. Desperately missing Taurtis, Grian tries to live to the fullest in Hermitcraft, but his other Hermits quickly start to realize something is wrong.

Grian is just a normal hermitcraft guy. He goes around pranking people and having fun, always with a good personality. But then something joins the server, determined to dig into Grians mind and change him forever. Grian starts hearing a voice in the back of his head. It gets deeper into his past, digging out power and an unsettling courage to corrupt things around him. Even though he already had a nag for friendly distruction this is a whole different situation. The voice is telling him to hurt hermits. Change hermits. Kill hermits. NPC Grian has come for revenge, and Grian is finding himself swayed by the voice. (This is not an Evo story although it will have mentions that Grian has been an admin. The watchers have nothing at all to do with this story, just the fact Grian has been an admin and knew some things he has forgotten. This story takes place in season 7. Not all hermits will have matching personalities to the actual hermit. This thumbnail was not created by me, it was created by Maiioz on X (forever Twitter). WARNING: Blood, depression, self-harm, death, some cussing, you know all the good stuff like that :) )

Set during Season 6 because this story came out two days after Season 7. -I only own the people with the weird names. (Not Xelqua.) This is fanfiction. I do not own the Hermits nor do I write for them. I write about the characters they present to us on screen. -Book cover made on Desygner, background found by searching "old book cover backgrounds"
