Chapter Text
They had their weekly meeting. They have a tradition of cycling through the hermits' bases every week for the meeting. This week, it was Joe's base that became their victim.
They all were discussing their plans, builds and what progress has been done on their bases. Just a normal hangout that disguised itself as a meeting.
It's not long before someone brought up moments from their story and well, it spiraled from there to this moment now.
"We're forgetting someone's story, aren't we?" Impulse signs something to the others, trying to hide his giggles and failing.
"Wait, who? I thought i told all of it. Did i miss anyone?" Xisuma racks his brain, wondering if he forgot Etho again. He genuinely think he didn't left out anyone.
"No, no you didn't. We just forgot to tell someone" Scar's words aren't helping either. What does he mean by him not forgetting yet the others did? That doesn't make any sense!
"What...?" He blurts, getting a giggle out of the many hermits instead.
"Yeah, we forgot someone! How could we forget!" Cub has the vex smile similiar to Scar's. That usually means he's in a mood to mess with someone.
"... I-who?" He tries again.
"I know right, how could we forget!" Grian's voice chimes in.
"Yeah, for real! How could we forget?" Wels joins in. Oh gosh they got Wels in on this as well.
"Is it Cleo? I thought we were only telling stories for the ones that wasn't open with what they are!"
"No, not that, X. Someone else!" False can't supress her big smile.
".. Right" he noticed all of them are staring at him with smiles and giggles now. "Wait-no way" it finally clicked.
"Yes way!" Tango can't hold his giggle anymore. The others also join into the giggling fit.
"Wait, how?" He needs to hear this now.
"Well, you see, shishwammy.." Keralis starts off.
////
Keralis was checking up on X, he'd been worried that the guy wasn't eating since their server had a glitch he needed to fix. He knocked on the door but no answer, he then proceed to snoop into the house.
In one of the rooms, he could see shishwammy...Wrapping codes around codes with a string of code he just pulled from nowhere? What. How many times did he say code again?
He shook his head and reminded himself for why he was there in the first place. He pushed the door and began scolding Xisuma for not taking care of himself.

Hypno wasn't a ghost. He knew that. But for some reason, Xisuma thought he is. It was another awkward encounter where Xisuma woke up again just as he was weaving dreams and eating the nightmares.
This time though, Xisuma eyes glowed. It glowed an unnatural blue that one would question how he can see through that piercing light. He didn't ask about it.
---
Bdubs wasn't particularly a smart man. He was out in the faraway land after his elytra broke. Thankfully, after a painful walk for who knows how long, he saw X in the midst of the fogs.
He can't help but notice that Xisuma was making shapes with a string that glowed. Weird. Where do one get a string like that?
He was consumed by tiredness and relieve to see X that he forgot to ask about that strange string.
---
Joe knew that Hermitcraft didn't have much humans. There were little to none at all. He had always knew their admin wasn't a human, but they just didn't know what he is.
One day, he saw X sneaking away and followed him. He witnessed it with his own eyes. Xisuma was practising his magic and there were many, many glowing strings swirling in the air.
One could even say it was magical.
---
Jevin and Cleo was hunting for netherite in the nether. They had so much fun exploding stuffs and laughing to each other and making jokes as usual.
Jevin stopped when he saw a familiar green armoured figure. Cleo also stopped and stared. Apparently, X had somehow tamed a ghast and was using a strange blue rope to steer it's direction. X didn't noticed them.
They both stared at each other in silence after that.
---
Team ZITS was end busting together in the early game. It was normal until they saw Xisuma jumped into the void.
They were worried that their admin might have got some problems and is jumping into the void as a coping mechanism.
Tango stared at the chat.
There were no death messege at all.
---
Grian hadn't meant to see X without his helmet. He was just bored he swear! It was his hobby to just Watch the hermits secretly and see what they were up to.
He closed the Eye but he couldn't unsee the elf-like ear Xisuma had.
---
On the night of the bloodmoon, X came to False's base with a helmet busted and arm dripping with blood.
She had healed him, of course, but she can't help but notice that the wound she wrapped with bandages glowed a very faint blue while Xisuma chugged the healing potion.
She didn't push since the guy looked like he needed rest.
---
In one of the meeting, Xisuma looked really horrible. His eyebags told them that he hadn't been sleeping at all. His slightly off helmet, his partially busted armour and his elytra's condition told them enough.
They didn't know why no one asked about why his eyes were glowing nor did anyone asked why the heck he got a tail now.
They all scolded him and agreed on a server sleepover just to make Xisuma sleep.
////
"I didn't think i was that obvious! I thought i tinted my helmet enough that it won't show the glow!" Xisuma flush in embarassment that he didn't notice his magic seeping out in front of the hermits a lot.
"You're doing now as well!" Beef points out, and he flushes more. Someone passed him a mirror and yes, it is glowing again.
How did he not notice that!? He glanced at the hermits again. They were all laughing at him. He can't help but smile as well. Trying to hide his laugh and embarassment but he guess he already failed doing that with how he is chuckling.
"Scar, no!!" Grian yelled amidst the laughs and-uh oh.
Scar had ignited Doc with a flint and steel. "Scar, this is your fault" Doc deadpans.
