Grian screamed as his leg was bitten by sharp fangs, he had been running away from this creature in the caves for quite a while. It was a blind purple sheep with paws instead of hooves, it had a very large mouth full of sharp teeth and its smelling and heating ability was too good. And the worst part? It could teleport.

He tried shaking the sheep-like mob off, but it only made his injury worse. He felt the teeth release his leg as he fell onto his back, the creature growled and Grian sat up, backing away. The creature didn't stop. It lunged onto Grian which made him fall onto his back again, his painful scream echoed in the cave. The sheep backed away a little, leaving Grian to die slowly. It had attacked his throat. I'm so stupid... I should have guessed that creature would know my vital spot.

Soon Grian fell unconscious due to the blood loss, the sheep sniffing the items that had fallen off him. His body disappeared with a white mist, leaving the large blood pool and his items there. The sheep was chomping on some cooked meat it had found from Grian's inventory.

Grian was slain by ???

Dying was painful. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. It was like your heart shattered to pieces and you were feeling every emotion at the same time, your whole body ached and you felt dizzy as heck when you respawned. And something would sometimes not be healed. That's how Scar got his scars on his face.

He opened his eyes on his comfortable bed, to see lots of curious and worried Hermits gathered near his bed. The closest was Xisuma. Grian couldn't hear at first, his ears were ringing. But it faded away and he soon started to hear things like "What killed him?" "Is he okay?" "What happened?"

"Grian? You okay?" Xisuma crouched down near the bed. Grian groaned as he tried to sit up but everything hurt, He hissed in pain as he laid on his back again. Especially his throat ached so much. "Don't move, you just respawned." Stress said at him, standing near the admin.

"I... There was a creature that isn't in vanilla Minecraft.." Grian shut his eyes, a few seconds later opening them slightly to look at the server admin. He could see Xisuma frowning behind the helmet, the admin looked at the ground, getting lost in his thoughts instantly.

There was a lot of mumbling and questions in the air, but the room turned shocked as Grian screamed with pain. His eyes flashed purple for a second before he shut his eyes, curling up. He was trembling, the Hermits much more worried than before. His best friends were screaming at him if he was okay.

BOOM
The unsuccessful trap went off, killing the three. Grian laughed on top of his lungs, Scar joining him with a shocked laugh. Scott just stood there, eyes wide, traumatized. The wide eyes locked onto Grian.

"You're a monster!"

Grian inhaled sharply as he opened his eyes wide, sitting up instantly. "Grian!" Mumbo rushed toward him, grabbing his hand. "Are you okay?!" Grian rubbed his head with his free hand.

Xisuma shouted. "Guys, can everyone leave except for Grian?"
"Can Scar and Mumbo stay too..?" Xisuma silently nodded. Everyone hurriedly left, leaving only the four.

"What happened G?" Scar asked, handing him a bottle of water. Grian muttered a "thank you" before gladly drinking it all.
"There was a flashback... Though I didn't recognize it. It wasn't from here, from HermitCraft. But it was oddly familiar..."
The three stayed silent until Xisuma broke the silence. "Go on..?"

Groan looked at Scar. "I think Scar had ordered me to set up a trap but it had gone wrong. But while they were trying to remove it, it exploded... Three people died. Then someone with blue-teal hair called me a monster. It's... it's complicated. It's like I know it but I don't remember." Grian questioningly looked at his palm.

"Actually, that does sound familiar to me... But I also don't seem to remember it." Scar said, as confused as him. Xisuma and Mumbo were looking like a lost puppy.

"Could it be like..."
All eyes turned to Mumbo.
"Could it have something to do with past lives?"
