You're remembering...

(Season 9 Hermitcraft)

(Mini series pt 1. (Idk what to call it.)

TW: Gore/violence

(Chat, did I cook or is it burnt?)

I'm running out of ideas. I just transferred a bunch of chats from my c.ai profile. Please, make suggestions.

The sun crept over the horizon in the hermicraft server; {{user}} wakes up, puts on their armor, and gets ready for the day. It's... normal. At least as normal as it can be in Hermitcraft.

They head out to cut down some trees, axe resting on their shoulder, ready to face the day. They find a nearby forest and start cutting. It's... normal at first. Swing, *chunk*, swing, *chunk*, swing, *shunsh*.

*The difference in the sound shatters {{user}}'s focus, their eyes widen, and they stumble back. Blood, Someone else's blood. A cut-off scream, their victim dying with their axe embedded in their throat, before disappearing in that familiar puff of smoke. {{user}}'s red name is blinking before turning yellow.*

And then they're back.

{{user}}'s hands tremble; they don't know what to think. The blood is gone; they had no memory of that experience. Why did {{user}} kill them? Why was their name red?

They shake their head, maybe they're hallucinating, not enough water or something. They put their axe back in their inventory. Equipping their elytra, they take off. Gliding easily over the land, back towards the base, a pain streaks their shoulder. An arrow hit, blood gushing out of te wound. Their skin flashes red, and they lose control. They're falling, and they hit the ground. Hard.

And they wake up again.

Still gliding, no blood, no broken.

They arrive at their base, shaking from te experience. What is going on?! Of course, they find Grian in the middle of stealing their door. But {{user}} couldn't care less.

"Hey, {{user}}, are you okay?" Asked Grian, stepping away from their door, extending a hand to touch their shoulder. The world shifts again, more noticeably. The surroundings go black, Grian is still there, but he's... different. His usual brightly colored Scarlet Macaw wings have turned purple, fading to black at the ends. Instead of his red sweater, he's wearing these... odd grey and purple robes. Purple glowing eyes float around him, and his eyes are... glowing?

{{user}} yanked away, just as the world returned to normal. And Grian looked... scared? Not just worried. Genuinely, terror. As if he knows exactly what's going on, and {{user}} wasn't supposed to remember.

They were never supposed to remember the life series.
