Everyone knows of the legend of the Phoenix. But they never expected to see the legend itself flying above the battlefield of the long-lasting Supernatural Civil-War. The Phoenix uses all of his powers to put a stop to the fighting, falling fast to the ground. He lands in the middle of the Vampiric forces, and their General, Mumbo Jumbo, sees to it that his injuries are taken care of. Soon after, the council of wizards confronts the Vampire army about the well-being of the Phoenix, and it turns into a heated argument, ending in the Phoenix being put under a sleeping spell and forcibly taken into the "custody" of the council. There is nothing Mumbo can do against the powerful wizards as he watches his friend be carried away. 500 years later, Grian is stuck, frozen in place. He can't move. When he awoke, the council had decided it would be best to put him in a stasis spell of sorts. Disguised as a gargoyle, the passerby of today's world know nothing of what lies inside the rocky face of the Phoenix. That is, until someone recognizes him. Mumbo embarks on a quest to free his friend, hoping to hell and back that he is still alive underneath the stone. And all Grian can do is watch Mumbo in his determination. Infrequent Updates (I'm a full time college student with a part time job) (American College so if I use British terms incorrectly pls correct me pls and thx) Angst/ Fluff Idk maybe smut (if there is there will be a warning) War scenes/ Blood/ Gore Swearing? This will flip between Grian and Mumbo POV as well as past and present so we can see their past interactions as well as the continuing story line. This is my first book but this idea has been tumbling around in my head for days so I have to get it out. I'll work on it whenever I have free time. Please point out any mistakes in grammar otherwise it will bug me. I'm writing this on mobile so typing is quite difficult.

"Is something wrong-" Mumbo lunges from the woods, fangs extended, mouth open in a hiss. He pounces on Iskall, his teeth finding their throat, shredding it in an attempt to get as much blood as possible. The last thing Iskall sees before it all goes dark is the moon, huge in the sky, the image of Mumbo leaping from the woods at him, burned behind his eyes. or, The server's vampires go feral during season 8 and attack people. The people they attack die and don't come back for some reason. The non-vampiric hermits race to restrain their vampiric friends well trying to find a way to bring the ones they killed back.

- ❝[𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐄𝐃]❞ --- 𝐆𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐎 [ 𝐇𝐂 ] ༄ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 , Mumbo is secretly a vampire. Grian is openly an avian. Mumbo never cared for-bird blood, exactly. But Grian was the only hermit around. So he could deal with the slight bitterness of his avian streamed blood. Just this once. ~ included ships - Etho x Bdubs . Gem x Pearl . Lizzie x Joel . Ren x Doc . If you do not like any of those ships, do not worry they wont take away from the fic. (Ldshadowlady will in fact be a hermit in the fic.) Art does not belong to me!

Grian needs to hunt down a monster in the forest, a creature of unexplainable powers that he has been instructed to capture. But instead of a ferocious beast, he meets Mumbo, a scared vampire that has no control over his powers or his bloodlust. It's Grian's heart against his head, love against logic. Mumbo doesn't seem like the bloodthirsty creature that all the stories describe him as, but can Grian really trust him?

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
