Im new here and kinda dumb. I was wondering if you could summarize your Lamb's story? All I'm really getting is they died to have a kid-
On another note, I adore your art! There's just something about it that I adore
In my CULT OF THE LAMB AU "Of Lambs and Chains" - Dulciter is one of the lambs raised in Darkwood, under the rule and influence of Leshy. Before any prophecy ever existed, they lived a fairly quiet life with the rest of their kind, following traditions and rituals laid down by the lambs. Leshy was the one who raised them, acting almost like a guardian figure, though it was more about control than care.
Everything changed during the Splendid Vegetable Feast...a rare celebration that brought many beings together, including Narinder, who at that time wasn’t imprisoned yet. That’s when Dulciter and Narinder first met. They were drawn to each other almost instantly. What started as fleeting conversations turned into secret meetings deep in the woods, away from Leshy’s watchful eye. Over time, they fell for each other. Slowly, cautiously, but deeply.
At the same time, Narinder was pursuing a dangerous vision. He wanted to permanently open the doors between life and death...essentially make mortals immortal and free from divine control. That idea started attracting more and more followers to him. But the gods need devotion, fear, and sacrifice to survive. Without that, they weaken. His siblings...especially Shamura...began to feel their power fading as mortals turned toward Narinder’s promise of eternal life.
Originally, Shamura had supported his work, even helped him with his experiments. But once they realized Narinder’s plan would lead to the downfall of all the gods, including themself, they made the decision to stop him. That’s when they betrayed Narinder and had him imprisoned.
After that, Narinder disappeared from Dulciter’s life. No explanation. No goodbyes. Just silence.
Eventually, Dulciter moved on...or at least tried to. They married another lamb named Proditor and had a daughter, Puella. It seemed like a second chance at peace. But then the prophecy emerged...the one that said a lamb would rise and kill the Bishops. Once that was known, Shamura ordered a mass extermination of all lambs, just to prevent it from coming true.
That’s where Proditor showed his true colors. He betrayed the other lambs, including Dulciter and his own daughter, in exchange for gold. He made it easy for the Bishops to find and slaughter them. But in the end, he was sacrificed too. It was never about promises...just power.
Dulciter was forced to watch as everyone they loved was killed, including Puella. They were the last lamb alive. When it came time for their sacrifice, instead of dying, they ended up resurrected...and found themself standing before Narinder again.
Narinder hadn’t seen them in decades, but the moment he did, all those feelings came flooding back. Despite the pain, he still loved them. And after everything Dulciter had lost, they eventually began to love him again too. Their relationship was intense, filled with both devotion and grief.
When Dulciter finally completed everything required of them, they returned to Narinder to free him. But what they didn’t realize was that the last sacrifice needed was their own life. They died to break Narinder’s final chain.
Freed at last, Narinder was devastated. The person he loved had given up their life for him. He couldn’t bear it. So he sacrificed a part of himself...which will be mentioned later... to bring them back.
Dulciter did return. But they weren’t the same.
They remember everything. The betrayal. The loss of their child. The silence after Narinder's imprisonment. Even though they love him, they also resent him for the part he played in everything. Their relationship now is strained...filled with complicated feelings, unresolved grief, and moments of trying to rebuild what was lost.
Narinder is desperate to make them happy again. He’s constantly trying to prove that he’s changed and that he loves them. Meanwhile, Dulciter is still mourning, still carrying the weight of everything they’ve endured. Their love isn’t gone...but it’s bruised and uncertain.
