Any relationships in this AU is strictly Platonic. But I will use the x reader tags cause it’ll reach further. Anyway enjoy.

This is the first chapter.

Y/N = Your name

Gender neutral reader

The blue skies of Inscryption was clear as it could be and Y/N was ready to do some errands before seeing their friends. They got up from their makeshift bed, which was just a pile of leaves and blankets. Then cleaned up the cabin a bit before heading out the door to be stopped by their Mentor, Leshy who spoke and got Y/N’s attention.

“Y/N. I’ll need to talk to you when you get back.” Leshy said.

“Understood. I’ll be back asap then.” Y/N stated, looking up at their mentor.

“Thank you. Enjoy the day.” Leshy replied before sitting at the table.

Y/N then headed out before they said their hellos to the Angler and Prospector before hurrying off. They were going to inform Grimora of what’s been happening recently, ask Rebecha if they need help or any supplies, deliver a package to stupid P03 and visit their friends in the tower.

Their first errand was easy and they could take their time on it since they didn’t mind spending time with Grimora.

They soon ended up in the land of the dead. They carefully treaded through the land to not step on a grave or ash of anyone that may rest. Soon they were at the entrance of Grimora’s home. They entered and saw Grimora sitting at her table with some tea brewed, enough for two.

“Sorry to intrude on you Grimora.” Y/N said as they stood in the doorway.

Grimora looked at Y/N and smiled. “Oh sweetie come in. How was the journey here? Have you been doing well? Leshy isn’t overworking you I hope.”

Y/N sighed before smiling. They were now going to answer about a thousand questions. “The journey was fine. No graves were stepped upon. I have been doing well and Leshy hasn’t overworked me nor have I done it to myself.” They then walked over and sat at the other end of the table.

The two talked for what seemed like hours. There wasn’t any clocks or anything to tell time, only the sun and Magnificus. “It was so lovely to talk to you Grimora but I’ll need to head off. The main reason I was here was to tell you that winter is in five days.” Y/N stated as they stood up and brushed themselves off.

“So sorry to have kept you here longer then you wanted sweetie and thank you for informing of the incoming season change. I’ll be sure to visit you both a lot when winter does come in.” Grimora said with a smile. “Have a safe journey Y/N.”

Y/N nodded before heading out and they stood at the crossroads of the Land of the Dead and the Land of the Beasts. They had forgotten their other tasks which wasn’t really good. “Inform Grimora…that’s done. Deliver something to someone. Meet with someone.” Y/N sighed in defeat before heading back to the Land of the Beasts and the cabin.

It was the first day of winter and they still haven’t remembered their tasks from a few days ago, it didn’t matter due to more pressing matters now at hand. Winter wasn’t a good season for Y/N they had to take up the mantle as the acting Scrybe of Beasts as their mentor hibernates. It was an extra hard start to the winter season as one of the Scrybes had organised a meeting for all four of them. Meaning the they would have to go in and explain how it’s winter etc.

Now they were standing outside Grimora’s crypt. Since they were going to walk over to the meeting spot with her since it was already gonna be awkward explaining Leshy’s absent so they might as well walk and talk with Grimora. Soon Grimora exited her crypt and greeted Y/N.

“You sem overly dressed for this meeting Sweetie. It’s gonna be all fine. They’ll understand. The meeting might even get cancelled so you won’t have to worry about making decisions on Leshy’s part.” Grimora said during their conversation.

“But what if P03 tries to make fun of Leshy for hibernating? I won’t be able to stop myself from attacking P03!” Y/N stated as their fear grew bigger at actual having to make decisions since Leshy won’t be there.

“Let’s push that aside for now dear, I am interested in the outfit you chose for the meeting. A hooded cape that wraps around your shoulders and doesn’t go further. I’ve never seen one that looks like that before.” Grimora questioned as she changed the topic to try and distract Y/N from the meeting that was soon.

“Oh Uh. I thought it would fit the look of ‘Apprentice take over’!” Y/N said before chuckling to themself about the joke.

“It’s a good addition to the outfit. I think it makes you look adorable Dear.” Grimora said.

The two soon got to the meeting spot where P03 and Magnificus was waiting.

“Greetings. Before this meeting is started I regret to inform you all that my Mentor, Leshy. Will not be joining you all today as it is the start of winter and he is hibernating as he does every winter.” Y/N said before any of the Scrybes could speak.

“Of course that stinking beast skipped out of the meeting and we’re stuck here having to do it without him! Then he complains about the decisions we make while he’s gone.” P03 said as it slammed it’s arm(claw?) onto the meeting table.

“It isn’t his fault you bag of loose wires. Maybe the meetings shouldn’t be bloody scheduled during the start of winter?!” Y/N yelled back at the robot. They didn’t like the slander against their mentor. So they walked off for no confrontation about it.

They walked nearly all the way back to the cabin but stopped at the door of the cabin. They then turned right and headed towards the lake. Before they got the lake they spotted a gap in the trees, was that always there? They walked into the gap and saw the world distorting and glitching but decided not to go further.

Check on Leshy. Make sure he is actually hibernating and not staying up in case a challenger appears. Y/N then headed back to the cabin and went inside. They then quickly went to the back room where they found Leshy curled up with a few blankets on him.
