The Lamb {OLD}

The Cult

"Wow..." Y/N thought to himself as he looked around this cult ground..if you could even call it that, "This place is beautiful, nothing like any I've ever seen..." The cult was decorated thoughtfully with an abundance of flowers and stone statues of little animals, the amount of nature organized perfectly to look like a secure living area made the place look like some big elegant garden with a large lamb shrine skillfully placed in the middle and protected with rose bushes. Y/N looked to Lamb, "How long did all this take?"

"Ah well, a few weeks, I could've never done it without the help of my loyal followers though!" The lamb answered happily. "Now, what shall we have you do around here? You could garden, worship the shrine, chop wood.." he continued listing off varies tasks but Y/N paid no attention, instead wandering off to explore this garden.

Y/N walked through the area, meeting a few of the followers along the way. There seemed to only be four followers in this whole cult, five if you counted Y/N and this seemed very strange to him, with a cult this lovely and a leader this kind how could there only be four other members? Clearly this had to be just the beginning of a cult this amazing. Y/N found a place under a tree to sit and rest since so much had happened in this one day. He closed his eyes and leaned back but his peace and quiet was quickly interrupted by the lamb, "There you are! You wandered off while I was talking."

Y/N shot up a bit surprised but calmed down quickly, "Right, sorry, this place is just so beautiful.."

"You're too kind," Lamb smiled bashfully, "but there are some things we need to discuss. First you need a place to sleep then a job which is what I was trying to talk to you about earlier."

Y/N frowned a bit, "A job? Well.. I've had such a rough day today don't you think I could have the day off?" He spoke dramatically, maybe pushing his luck a little.

Lamb only raised an eyebrow, "You can worship the shrine, I'll fix you up a bed after I get cleaned up." is all he said as he got up and left.

Y/N groaned but stayed sitting under the tree a bit longer, he played with the grass until he was approached yet again by someone else, a white rabbit, one of the followers. She took a seat down next to him and Y/N give her a confused look, as if to say "what do you want?" without actually saying anything.

The rabbit giggled, "I hope I wasn't interrupting anything, I'm Poppy, I just wanted to get to know you!"

Y/N looked at Poppy blankly for a moment, "Oh, I'm Y/N I just got here. Lamb said he'd make me a bed so until then I'm just sitting here."

She nods, "So very generous of our leader, I would give him my left leg if I had too. Y'know he rescued me from this spider guy who was about to eat me! If it weren't for him I would be long gone..."

"Yeah....me too...I was just saved from a...being murdered.." He spoke.

"Leader assigned you to worship at the shrine?" Poppy suddenly switched subjects, "I overheard is all, I worship the shrine too, I can take you too it if you don't know where it is!" Y/N simply nodded and the two got to their feet and headed off to the shrine. While they did so Y/N caught a glimpse of Lamb working, he was no longer soaked in blood and was now working  on building the bed like he said he would. Lamb noticed Y/N's stare and waved at him, Y/N simply waved back.

"Here we are at the shrine!" Poppy spoke, "Let's get you an outfit, wait right here!" and just like that she ran off. Y/N seemed to notice a similarity in all of these people, they jump from one topic straight onto the next, never really sitting back and taking the time to think and observe their surroundings. He couldn't tell if they weren't alert enough or too alert either way if they were to be attacked Y/N was positive that lamb would take care of it in no time. He let out a sigh of relief finally glad to be away from all the stress he had ever had in his life, but he knew he would miss his friends and family. They thought he was only sent off to be sacrificed but instead everyone else but him is dead and now he has a new home. Y/N looked up longingly at the sky. The clouds moved slowly over the setting sun, it was starting to get dark, soon it would be night, and with night comes a new day.
