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

A... Much Needed Break.

Something he expected at this point, the world going greyscale. He got up and went out the tent straight to his temple. Opening the door, he went inside to look around, see if there's any ghostly staircase or something, wouldn't that be hilarious...

He expected to find a staircase, but nothing. No staircase, no glow, no nothing! Maybe outside? He left his room after moving everything that was on the floor to other spots in the floor where he searched to leave when he heard someone at his altar.
"Here... come here... un... here"
He ran to the altar, but it shined a bright light, it was blindingly bright, but he pushed onwards.
"Almost... here... come..."
     

He wakes up. His side doesn't hurt anymore, he looks and the bruise is completely gone. He pushes and pokes his ribs, but they're completely fine... wait, where's Check? He calls for doctor Nanako and she arrives, unsurprised that his bad bruise healed with a little sleep.
     

Y/n: Doc, where's Check?

Nanako: Oh, Check? He's praying at the statue.

Y/n: Thanks doc... now where's my shirt?

Nanako: where did you put it last leader?

Y/n: in my backpack... where is it? I thought I brought it in here?

Nanako: Leader, it's next to your leg...

Y/n: Oh... I see it now... thank you Doc.

Nanako: Of course Leader. See you next time you come back from a crusade.

Y/n: Yep, like usual now.
       

He quickly put on his shirt and went out to see Check. He got to the statue and his followers cheered that he was back, but he didn't see Check's attire in the crowd... but he saw an old deer... with a mainly white robe with gold outlines, hints of blue were scattered around the robe as well. He moved his followers aside and talked to the Deer... or Stag, more likely...
       

Y/n: Is that you Check?

Check: Yes it is Leader.

Y/n: You got so... old fast.. are you going to be okay?

Check: Yes, I'll be okay Leader. Getting old is apart of life for followers.

Y/n: I know Getting old is apart of life, but... not this fast...

Check: It's okay Leader. I've come to terms with things. I'll be spending my time praying to you, then I shall enjoy my afterlife.

Y/n: Damn it Check...

[He kneels down and hugs Check softly]

Y/n: You were my first follower, you saw the start of the cult begin, you saw the construction of all of these buildings... you are the first person i've talked to when i got here... I'm going to truly miss you...

[Y/n hugs Check a little tighter, he returns the hug, the followers that are watching the two are tearing up at the heartfelt scene]

Check: It'll be okay Leader. I may leave you, but The Compound will live on.

Y/n: The Compound? Yeah... yeah... did you name the cult that?

Check: You've said that this place is The Compound, you have named it that when we first arrived here, declaring it. We are part of The Compound and you lead it Leader.

Y/n: I... I care for this place so much. I'm going to... cook some food for everyone, you want anything specific?

Check: Anything you cook, I shall eat.

Y/n: yeah... I know..
        

He stopped hugging Check and got up, going to the cookery to cook food for his followers. They got exited and cheered, their leader was making food! Sure, Check made the food from time to time, but it doesn't compare to how y/n makes it. So he got to work, cooking the meat he got from past crusades before it gets bad (he doesn't know meat doesn't spoil fast.) and cooking some vegetables from the farm that they harvested. Already, grass bowls of food was being passed around to each follower and not before long, all followers had food in their hands, including y/n, feeling hungry himself, he made a bowl for himself.
