The past is dragged up as the other hermits try and save their friends, making some new allies along the way. hermitcraft fic, grian centric (actually it focuses a lot on everyone! Grian is just the catalyst ;3) watcher involvment (not super centric though), season 7, au based, tw for some violence and mentions of blood! Hels is pretty centric, so if you're not interested in alt versions of the hermits don't read!

It was another normal day. Grian worked on his base. Mumbo hopped around. Scar died. Twice. And that's when the world broke. Now, Grian has a terrible secret, something connected to his distant past. He has risky encounters and even riskier adventures as the Hermits investigate what happened on that day, and try to uncover the truth behind what is happening on the server. Mystery, intrigue, betrayal, adventure. Memories forgotten and memories made. Because of one little decision, Grian's new story is about to take off. REPOSTED FROM AO3!!!

Mumbo Jumbo was a vampire. He lived on Hermitcraft as one of the Hermits, and kept this secret locked behind closed doors. He could keep himself under control, and no one on the server was the wiser. But when he suddenly begins to slip, his instincts taking more control of him, he has to figure out how to keep his secret- and his friends- safe. No matter what. -- Mumbo was a vampire. This was a fact that he had to live with. However, Mumbo never did anything to hurt any of his friends. Sure, he had always had urges, to say the least. It was just a part of his nature, his instinct. But Mumbo could control himself. He wasn't an impulsive person, he could keep himself collected. Mumbo knew how to control himself. For the most part. -- 1 in Grumbo - June 15th, 2023 2 in Mumbo - June 23rd, 2023 1 in Mumbo - June 26th, 2023 1 in Grian (???) - July 14th, 2023 1 in Mumbo - July 14th, 2023 1 in Grumbo - July 14th, 2023 5 in Hermitcraft - July 14th, 2023 2 in Hermitcraft - July 20th, 2023 1 in Hermitcraft - July 27th, 2023 1 in Hermitcraft - July 31st, 2023 1 in Grumbo - October 31st, 2023 1 in Grumbo - November 23rd, 2023 1 in Mumbo - December 14th, 2023 1 in Mumbo - December 19th, 2023 1 in Grumbo - January 18th, 2024 3 in Hermitcraft - January 18th, 2024 1 in Grumbo - February 13th, 2024 1 in Hermitcraft - February 13th, 2024

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
