The Phoenix and the Lamb

Chapter 89

Disclaimer: I do not own Cult of the Lamb. I am simply a fan of the game. I was inspired by Jbrine061. Please check out her story. She is amazing. Now onto the story.

Just as Nox planned, he sent a note to Ebany who received it. It was brief, but explained what she needed to do. Ebany didn't know what her uncle wanted to say but it sounded important. She walked to Narinder and Edan who were enjoying custard waffles. Narinder seemed to enjoy the one with whipped cream and had fun playing with the lamb. That mean he put cream on the lamb's face to tease and laughed. Jokes on him! Edan loved whipped cream!

"Guys?" Ebany caught their attention and walked over to them.

"Hi Ebany!" Edan licked more whipped cream off his face. "Are you having fun?"

"Yeah, I just got a note from my uncle. He wants to talk to us three." Ebany told them.

"About what?" Narinder asked.

"Something about Rose. He didn't say what, just that we needed to see him after the festivities are done for the day." Ebany explained. She caught Narinder's attention and it got him thinking... If they were to leave now, it might make his siblings suspect something. Plus, he was having fun with his lamb.

"I'll make something up if you need to get away from his siblings. Since a phoenix is the bird of life and death it could be about that...?" Ebany suggested, using a tone to imply if they caught her drift.

"Yes... It might be exactly that." Narinder nodded along. He got it. "Let us wait until things are over or until we head out. The lamb still has to keep me entertained." He like at Edan who licked the last of the cream.

"Mmm~! Yummy!" Edan purred and finished his waffle.

"You're so messy, Cael." Narinder wiped his mouth and face with the napkin provided earlier.

"And who's fault is that- Mmph!" Narinder covered Edan's mouth to keep him from talking. Ebany smiled and could help but think they were so cute together. She told them to have fun while she returned to Richy. They would go to Nox much later.

Shamura took a walk with Webber, Lapis, and Sozonius. They were still out of it and came too when they saw a poster for a play. Shamura stopped to look at it. Lapis looked over at them and saw the poster.

"There's going to a be a play later. 'The Two Sisters'?" Lapis read. "I haven't seen that show in ages."

"What is it about?" Shamura asked.

"It's about two sisters who were princesses, one ruling the day and the other the night. They raised the sun and moon respectively. The princess of the night felt forgotten and unwanted because everyone slept through the beautiful night. Her jealousy and anger towards her sister caused her to become evil and try to make it ever lasting night. The princess of the day had no choice but to seal her away on the moon for a millennia. After that, she was freed and going to cause trouble again, but was defeated by six heroes. That's the gist of it anyway. Would you two like to see it?" Lapis asked after explaining what the play was about.

"It's been some since I've seen any works of theater! Shamura, Webber, what about you two?" Sozonius asked them.

"Mura, can we??" Webber looked at them.

"I don't see why not. It's been so long since I've seen any plays," Shamura agreed. They remembered the festivals and events they used to have.

The followers would perform plays and whatnot. If they remembered correctly, there was one time that Kallamar wept because the play was a romantic tragedy. Leshy fell asleep, Heket seemed to like it, Narinder watched from the shadows and wasn't really into it. Shamura didn't really understand it. Perhaps they can all watch it?
