AAAAAAAA

Sometimes, when Leshy lets his pride drop.

Because in that moment, Hastur doesn't see the disgraced god or the arrogant parasite leeching off the cult's resources.

He just sees another person.

Thinking about Eldritch Hastur again

A picture of the whole family underneath the cut

VS Anthea, Death's Crimson Angel

A gentle lamb Anthea may be, but a Blood Soaked Angel is who they can become if angered enough. And the six of ten disciples desecrating their own goddess? Enacting a ritual with no consideration of the consequence?

Edit: I didn’t add anything at first because after drawing this I was hit by “oh yeah did you know you’re hungry, you should probably eat” because I didn’t feel the hunger while drawing

Narinder gives the lamb a taste for the flesh of other gods AU when resurrecting them, eat all the Bishops and they will be sated. Simple right? Narinder forgets he was once a bishop, and technically counts. The Lamb isn’t sated after finishing off the “last” bishop, they remain STARVING.

The Lamb is a loyal disciple of the one who waits, even despite the circumstances. The hunger is painful and ravenous, but it is still a second chance at life isn’t it? It is also a chance for revenge against those that killed off their species. What better way to get back at them than to kill them and consume them? They quickly grow a taste for flesh. It becomes a staple food in the cult community even if mortal flesh doesn’t sustain them. They want their followers to be like them, they suppose. To feel less lonely or guilty? To feel more comfortable in eating something their culture considered taboo when they were alive? They are unsure. The Lamb never planned on killing and eating their God. They wanted him freed from his imprisonment and leading the cult with them. But the hunger didn’t go away after defeating and eating Shamura. The hunger persisted and even got worse. Didn’t Shamura say there was once five bishops? Five became four, four became three, three became two, two became one, one became nothing! Who was left, but their own god?

They tried not eating him, they truly did. They couldn’t stop themselves. And after the fight and feast, while the painful starving feeling was gone, they still weren’t satisfied. A nagging feeling in the back of their mind, they still craved more flesh. They had a feeling that mortal flesh would finally sate them now. But doesn’t the taste of deity flesh so divine?

The Lamb seeing a huge dark figure in their nightmares that is somehow the most comforting person they’ve ever met.

Narinder seeing this scared chained Lamb looking up at him in awe, and realizing that he too is chained. He wakes up in a cold sweat.

The Lamb having dreams where they are the ones going after the ones that have been slaughtering their kind and giving them the karma they deserve. Returning to the large dark figure whenever they are too weak to fight on. Or when they succeed in a crusade.

Narinder seeing this little lamb presenting him the heart of his siblings. In the dreams he feels vindicated and proud. When he wakes up he is confused and concerned. He at the time wouldn’t want his siblings dead.

And the lamb is just going: GOD PROPOSED TO ME??? GOD OF DEATH??? PROPOSED TO ME??

The Lamb in their time working for The One Who Waits started making a matching Bell just for their lord. Would he find the gift foolish or insulting? Would he understand the gift for its meaning when he saw it matched the one he once made for the Lamb? How do you explain to a God that they technically proposed to you? How do you tell a God that you fell in love with him while in his service?

Options for Lambs new body include:

Porcelain Lamb doll (what I first thought of)

Voodoo lamb doll

Narinders plushy when he was a kit (it’s lamb shaped and poetic)

Puppet on strings (also lamb shaped)

Frakenstines monster that Lamb (Narinder trying to recreate a lamb with non lamb parts)

Magical or robotic construct

Bones of heretics (the lamb can add on to their body the more bones they have if they want)

so instead, after figuring this much out, the lamb goes after the others

terrifyingly fast

turning the other bishops into nothing more than stains on the walls as soon as they blink

but leshy, he sees this lamb when during the first crusade, thinks nothing of it, its just a porcelain doll, moving on

but as soon as he turns his crowns eye, he gets this terrible feeling in him, and looks back

and the doll is gone

later he would be chilling in his temple, maybe preparing a sermon, if he does those, then his and the lambs first true meeting, he hears a sound at the entrance to the temple, and theres that doll again, still thinking that its a doll, he turns away, only to hear it as soon as he does, looks back, and this doll, that was over 10 meters away from him, is now less than 2 feet away

he keeps an eye on it as he leaves the temple, fearing for himself, the lamb doesnt get the kill

back at the cult however, this doll would have had to get a boon from their god, narinder, making it to where the effects of this are negated near the followers

however the lamb, not wanting to waste any time, typically moves at max speed around the cult

1 minute your working on a task, next you have a sign right next to you asking you to do something else when your done, no one came and put it there, no sound was made of it getting put there

the lambs deciples have asked time and time again for them to stop doing this, to no avail

id imagine this would be like a hardcore playthrough of cotl, they cant die, that would leave them without a body, without their own vessel to call their own

except for in the afterlife

despite not needing it, i can see the lamb sparring with the kits, learning combat, bonding, ect

Optional fun thing-

the last Lamb goes after the eldest bishop. They are the leader of the group, their death would sow fear amongst the masses. And after accidentally meeting them face to face, they clearly don’t want to continue living any longer anyway. Isn’t it a mercy to end it for them after all they’ve been through? They go down fighting but almost willingly. The last Lamb becomes the bearer of the crown of war.
