I was so hungry all the time, I felt like Heket placed a curse on me.even after she was gone.” You sighed, before perking up with a smile. “So I left and met the Lamb. The Lands of the Old Faith were very harsh–even adults struggled to scavenge and return home safely. “Even children had to fend for themselves?” He blinked. I prayed for a safe trip and good meals, but…those prayers only got me seeds and grassy gruel for dinner.” “In my old cult, we had to go out into the Lands to find our food. "Oh! Well um.I’m the first and only kid for now.” “Wait? You weren’t.born here?” Narinder muttered with a raised eyebrow, now curious about your past. “Since when did the Lamb decide to indoctrinate children?” “Not really.” You shrugged. “When I first joined, they found out I was hungry before I said anything.” “That you’re not even safe inside your own head? That your precious “leader” can see into your mind at any time? Doesn’t it scare you?” “I don’t care what they think!!” His teeth became bared, eyes glowing red, though he did calm down shortly after as he sighed and stared at you. You tilted your head, pouting slightly. “I wouldn’t say that out loud, The One Who Waits-” How I wish to rip that crown off their head and reclaim what was once mine.” “Of course I know that, little morsel.” He huffed. Had that damned lamb sent you here to taunt him?ĭid they expect he’ll let you get away with it just because you were a child? No fear in your eyes whatsoever.īut your remark didn’t stop him from scoffing loudly, feeling utterly insulted by the reminder. Of course, not many dared to question their leader’s choice to spare him…but it didn’t stop others from dissenting and spreading rumors, or just simply being terrified of him.Īmazingly, you weren’t among those people. And he was surprised at how welcoming the cult was. This life was still very new for him, as he lived here for only a single day thus far. He was the bishop of death, the very figure that the Lamb made their acolytes worship.now reduced to a humble servant. Your bravery in speaking to him–let alone approaching him–was a surprise considering his reputation. But this was a child’s for sure.Īnd he was right when he looked down and saw you, the youngest in the cult, dressed in similar red robes. Sure, some of them had higher-pitched voices. This one sounded much younger than the majority of the cult members. I wouldn’t make such a grumpy face around them.”
“You know our gracious leader can read minds. ‘Never have I felt so humiliated by that damned lamb.making me toil in the hot sun.
