    Summary

    “We’re heading west,” Grian said, his voice quiet but firm.

    “Yes,” Mumbo confirmed.

    “You’re coming with us?”

    “I want to make sure you get there.”

    Grian studied him for a moment, then asked the question that had been weighing on Mumbo’s mind the entire day. “What will you do after?”

    Mumbo hesitated, then shook his head slowly. “I don’t know. Maybe head home, if there’s anything left of it. Or just… figure out what freedom feels like.” He paused, his voice barely a whisper. “If there is such a thing anymore.”

     

    Or, Mumbo escapes captivity with two hybrids, and fights to keep them safe by finding the Hermits.

    Summary

    She was okay. She still coughed flowers and she essentially stopped talking at all, the vines, roots and thorns still dug at her skin like razor blades everytime she tried to speak. She would still spit blood with petals whenever she coughed and wasn't able to eat much solid food due to the small cuts the thorns caused in her throat. However… It was getting better. At least that's what everyone said.
