"W..what?" Phil asked Grian, his face paling.

The threat about not being able to fly was nothing new to him, seeing as Dream had never allowed him to fly but there was something about this that made it 10x more terrifying.

Maybe because this has a chance of being permanent? He honestly doesn't know.

"Sadly the chances are there, not being able to fly" Grian gave him a sympathic look

"Can't you fix it G?" Xisuma asked the shorter male.

"Well, i can-" Grian started

This grabbed the attention of everyone in the room.

"You can? Really?" Phil asked looking at the man, he felt a small spark of hope light up within him.

"Well of course, i am an expert after all" Grian gave them a grin as he proudly puffed his chest

"But of course it's gonna be a very painful process and its gonna take a while for you to actually be able to fly again" Grian explained, crossing his arms he leaned over on the wall.

"Why?"

All eyes landed on Wilbur who was staring at Grian, suspicion evident in his face.

"I'm sorry? Why what?" Grian asked the male, giving him a semi-awkward smile.

Wilbur rolled his eyes at the question, scoffing.

"Why are you helping us? You barely even know us. What do you gain from this? I mean you must want something out of this"

Wilbur raised an eyebrow at the male as he scanned over the other two who was just standing there

"Well i mean helping people is nice? I suppose?" Grian answered but it came more off a question

"Are you asking me?" Wilbur gave him a look

"Well i guess i just want to help out, and besides Stress over here had kindly asked for my assistance so..." He answered, the grin returning onto his face.

"Wil, please." Phil mumbled looking over at the brunet,

"Alright now that's sorted, do you want to start now..?" Grian asked Phil, unsure if he was ready or not.

Phil gave it another thought before nodding "Yeah i think so"

Grian gave him a reasuring smile "Alright give me one sec, i'll be right back" He then rocketed out of the building.

"D..did he just leave..?" Wilbur asked his tone filled with amusement.

"He's probably grabbing his stuff" Stress gave them a reasuring smile.

"Phil are you sure about this? We hardly know the guy" Techno whispered to the male

"I know, but its worth a shot" Phil sighed

He really didn't want to lose his wings, it was too precious to him.

The 6 of them sat there as they waited for the male to return

"By the way X, isn't it a bit weird that you're meeting up with a bunch of your enemies" Stress let out a small giggle.

"It's a case of emergency alright, shush" Xisuma let out a lighthearted huff.

Stress covered her mouth as she bumped into the tallers shoulder "Mhm, sure."

The sound of rockets could be heard going off in the distance,

Phil could feel his heart beat a bit faster,

And as gracefully as he could, Grian landed perfectly on the same spot.

"Well then, shall we?"

They moved Phil's chair a bit so that Grian could properly fix up the wing.

Grian grabbed a cloth from his inventory and handed it to Phil.

"You might wanna bite into this" Grian held out the folded green cloth to Phil

Phil begrudgingly took the cloth and put it in his mouth,

Stress finished pouring a healing potion over the smaller cuts that littered Phil's wings.

"Alright im done Grian, " Stress said shoving the cork back into the opening of the now empty bottle.

"Thanks Stress" Grian set down the roll of bandage next to him

"First, we need to snap the bone back in place" Grian carefully stretched out Phil's wing

"Are you ready?" Grian asked looking at Phil for confirmation,

Phil, who is unable to talk due to the cloth in his mouth, gave him a firm nod.

"Alright, at the count of three.."

Grian gently placed his hand on the wing

"One.."

Techno watched intensely, ready to jump if anything goes very wrong

"Two.."

Phil shut his eyes tightly as he braced himself for the pain

"Three"

SNAP

Phil let out a small scream of suprise but it was muffled by the cloth that he was biting on.

Suprisingly, it didn't hurt too bad. He can still feel a bit of pain but nothing too bad.

"Alright, now we just have to wrap it up" Grian gave him a smile

But before Grian bandaged the wing, he fixed up the feathers so those won't get damaged aswell.

After making sure the feathers are in their tight place Grian reached for the bandage and started to very carefully wrap the wing.

Grian made sure to make the wrapping secure and not tight. Stress handed Grian a small clip for the bandage.

After muttering a small thanks, he took the clip and secured the bandage making sure it doesn't fall off.

"Alright! This should be all healed in 2 weeks or so" Grian gave him a thumbs up.

Phil removed the cloth from his mouth, which to be honest wasn't really necessary, he held out his hand for Grian to shake

"Thank you, Grian" Grian gave him a grin and firmly shook his hand "No problem"

Xisuma approaches them, his face hidden behind the bee helmet.

"Now then, shall we continue with our question and answering?" Xisuma's eyes closed as if he was giving them a smile.

"Right, of course"

The six of them (including Grian and excluding Tommy) got properly seated again, this time Grian decided to join them for a while seeing as he has nothing better to do.

"Alright so, Where exactly did you come from?" Xisuma started

"From an SMP called DreamSMP, the admin is Dream" Techno answered this time.

"Naming a SMP after yourself? That's a bit odd" Grian mumbled to no one in particular

Xisuma let out a hum as he scribbled it down in his note.

"So i know you're the one asking questions here but uh where exactly are we?" Phil asked giving a small awkward laugh at the end

"Oh of course, this is Hermitcraft! There isn't really an admin here but i kinda take care of the commands and stuff so im usually considered as the admin" Xisuma answered positively

TIMESKIP BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO WRITE HERE

"Alright, thank you for your cooperation" Xisuma closed his note and tucked it away in his inventory.

"Ar-are we good now?" Phil asks looking back and forth between the three.

"Yep, i might have more questions but that's for a later date-"

"Wait actually" Grian interrupts

All eyes land on Grian

"How exactly did you get here?" Grian asks

Xisuma then remembers that Grian doesn't know about the book yet

"Oh that's right! So long story short they find this weird book with a some sort of ritual on it and then they did the ritual and ended up here" Xisuma explains

"Yeah and you might wanna give this book a look Grian" Stress suggested

"Book? What book?" Grian asks but it's more directed to the newcomers

Techno grabbed the book from his inventory and handed it to Grian

"That book" he deadpanned

A look of shock washed over Grian's face as his eyes widened at the sight of the front of the book.

There sat the logo of a troubling past, and it may have come to haunt him.
