What A Cult! (a male reader insert of: Cult Of The Lamb.)

Unexpected Guests.

After the funeral was at The Compound was finished, they all went to sleep since it was close to deep night. Many shed tears, others suffered in silence.. everyone takes grief differently.

Y/n however, stayed up much to the dismay of his (previously dead?) body. He overlooked his crown, gently holding it in his hands and just... stared at the thing. It stared back. He slowly wonders how Sherri is doing with the big- actually, wouldn't he be the small cat now? Narinder did shrink, down to follower size.. yet another thing to think about.

After enough time passed, he finally decided to fall asleep. This time, he did not dream of the greyscale place, just one of his usual "insert crazy shit that happens in dreams" dreams, which is a nice change.

The next morning, he woke up to a familiar sight... his room was still the same! Why he slightly wished Sherri would've appeared out of nowhere, he would not tell you.

He got out of bed, as much as his body was begging him not to. Walking outside, he could see the farmer followers working away at the farm, which is ripe for harvesting about now. He greeted the farmers and helped with the harvest, which went much faster since he was helping.

As the day progresses, things happen and he is now overlooking an arm wrestling match between two of his followers... how did it come to this? Y/n didn't even know how, it just happened. One minute he was helping around The Compound, the next he was asked to oversee an "Test of upper might." Confusing times, these were, but he welcomed it with open arms.

Between a fox and a pig, they were against eachother, actually seeming like they're struggling against eachother. In no time at all, the pig won, but the fox called scummy tactics. Y/n didn't see anything, unless it was under the table.. he was too tall to see it if so.

Anyways, after the match (it was seen that the pig did cheat.) He went off and continued to help around the cult until mid-day, in which a surprise guest arrived: Sherri! Y/n thought it would've taken her a few more hours, maybe even a day to get back to him and take care of her cult, but apparently not.

The first thing she did was hug him, which was a strange thing since she was as tall as him now.. he returned the hug and kissed her, hearing a few "awwwww's" from some of his followers. After the kiss, she asked him if he wanted to go with her for a supply run and after a quick check on how stock is doing, he agreed. Bidding a quick farewell to his lovely cult, he left with Sherri for Anura.

This Anura wasn't the same one as he knew it. The mushrooms that have already been overrunning the place has multiplied, there's new kinds of enemies, and the best change: All of Hekets statues are defiled and drawn on! The first time y/n saw that, he laughed so hard it hurt. Then he promptly destroyed the statue, faintly remembering that they repair themselves when destroyed. It still happened, but it made him feel better that it was slow.

Two rooms in and he could feel the difficulty tweak.. he swung his head around in anticipation for someone to come and dropkick him into oblivion... but no one came. He continued onwards with Sherri, trying to get that ringing sound out of his ears.

They came across Clauneck and both cult leaders- wouldn't they be gods now? anyways, the two chatted with Clauneck, Sherri getting a tarot for this crusade through Anura and y/n just talking with him. It was nice to catch up with him, yet they had to push forward and onwards. Materials to obain and such.

As they moved through Anura, he began feeling.. something strange... like the closer they got to Heket's temple, the pit in his stomach grew. The room before they got to fight the boss was where he felt like he was starving, like, full on eating an entire family dinner and then two more, starving. Sherri noticed the pain and discomfort he was in and was going to talk to him about it when these damn frogs and rouge cultists are dead.
