   Summary

   The thing was, Grian died.

   Which meant he was back at the Watchers. Hermitcraft was merely an interlude. That was what they promised him. However, Grian couldn’t accept such an untimely end, so he pleaded for another go, no matter the consequences. Strangely, the Watchers allow it, as long as he follow one caveat.

   Or: Grian has to reveal the worst parts of himself. It doesn’t go well.
