Summary
"I don't want to pry," Xisuma said when they were speaking before his official invitation to join. "And not answering won't change whether or not you get whitelisted. We admins just prefer to have a heads up if anything's likely to come trying to dig you up, so we can keep you and everyone else safe."
Grian thought back to obsidian and endstone and blood, to tattered wings and torn robes and so so many unseeable eyes, and swallowed hard.
"No," he said, his voice shaky. "No, I don't think anyone will come looking for me."
"Okay," Xisuma answered, and that was that.
Until they invited two new people to the server.
or, the Hermitcraft Backstory Rule says that you don't ask other people about their backstory, you let them tell it if they want to and leave it be if they don't.
Unfortunately for Grian, one of the newest Hermits was also a player on his old server - one he'd thought had been dead for years - and she's going to drag his backstory kicking and screaming into the light whether she means to or not.

Summary
When the Gods fell millennia ago, Phainon had fallen with them.
Now he is the last. A remnant of times long ago, a fragment of divinity cast to the mortal world and tied to the great God-Kings of Sak-Kahn-Ko. He is theirs to do as they please; to serve each father and son and son of his son, unageing, undying, unchanging. He does not see the sun rise each day. He does not see it set.
Come a springtime he can only hear in the sigh of the wind, the God-King he serves has guests to visit. Many guests, from all corners of the mapped world, there to pledge allegiance to Sak-Kahn-Ko, to bow to the one great enough to own a God.
But one guest is strange. He does not look to Phainon’s humiliation with glee or envy or pride. He does not look at all.
Mydeimos of Castrum Kremnos looks, instead, to the God-King he must bow to; and he looks with anger, at the one who owns the divine. He looks with rage.

Summary
Grian shifted on his feet, uncomfortable under the weight of the villain’s gaze.
They both knew the question hanging between them. Why is a healer here?
Healers weren’t allowed to live quietly. They were accounted for. Watched. Used. Not serving coffee in a cat café.
When Phantom spoke again, his voice was steady in a way it hadn’t been before.
“I’m in your debt.”
OR
A Hermitcraft Hero AU where healer Grian is caught between villains, heroes, Mumbo’s overprotective instincts, and far too many cats.

Summary
Something inside him, what’s left that’s untouched, broke as more and more of his old comrades followed suit. Not even his burning core could warm the cold seeping into his entire soul as his world comes crashing down on him.
He saved the planet but lost his home for a second time.
His vision tilts and Phainon swallows down the bile in his throat.
