    Summary

    Something is wrong with the server, and Scar is the first one to notice.

    Injuries now hurt, and respawns are even worse.
    And turns out, the more you die, the worse it gets.

    Scar dies a lot.
    Sometimes by Grian's hand.

    Grian doesn't know things are broken.
    All he has is vague feelings of guilt and confusion when Scar starts avoiding him.

    So he goes to pick flowers.
    Until he finds himself dying, relying on Scar's help to save him.

    Summary

    Scar can’t answer, too busy trying to control his breathing. It was Grian who had helped him build their home in the desert. It was Grian who had chosen to stay by his side, even after he didn’t have to anymore. It was Grian who had sat on the mountain with him, pointing out the stars and naming them.

    It was Grian who had looked at him when they were the only two left, and had said there had to be a winner. It was Grian who had led him back to their mountain, hand in hand, and beat him to death in the shifting sands.

    Grian remembered none of it.

    OR,
    The prize of the victor is to forget what they had to do to win. This causes problems for Scar, who has developed a fear of Grian and can’t tell him why.

    Summary

    "Scar?" Grian repeated, more shifting, like he was sitting up. Tired but gentle confusion in his voice. "Are you okay?"

    Scar should've hung up. It was bad enough he'd actually called. He should've lied, should've said it was a misdial and pretended to be okay. He should've done a hundred things and he did the one thing he shouldn't, because despite everything that happened between them, Scar felt safest with the one who hurt him. He said, a trembling whisper, "No."

    Summary

    What voices, Scar?” Martyn asks again, a bit closer now, snapping him back to attention.

    “You— You know the Secret Keeper voices? When you succeed your task?” Scar asks, the words practically bursting out of him, propelled by the pressure of being kept at bay for so long.

    Martyn’s eyes narrow just slightly, his gaze flickering to the Secret Keeper and then back. “Yeah, I’ve heard ‘em. We all have, far as I can tell.”

    Scar nods and swallows, pasting on a shaky grin. “I hear them all the time.”

    OR, The Watchers take a special interest in Scar.
