Cult of the Lamb Suit - Vessel for the God of Praise (1/3) (Patreon)

In a similar cult ridden environment as COTL, The land is divided into different churches of faith and practice. Those who are neutral and/or don't follow any of these factions of faith are hunted and captured to bolster the cause of cults in power.

However, rather than indoctrination, these neutral beings are used as cattle for practicing the dark arts.

Some of these dark arts involve branding humans in magical occult summoning circles to beckon demonic servants of their god to manifest on those who are branded. Most often with limited success usually resulting in death and bodily mutation.

Every so often however, enough blood is gathered to make an attempt at having someone become the vessel of the subject of worship. To bring forth a God into the physical realm through a host.

The Cult of Praise is a faction that worships a deity of sheep-like appearance. One with large serrated teeth, Multiple piercing eyes, large horns that were said to be coated within the blood of countless sinners. A God so VILE, SO EVIL... SO TYRANICAL that once summoned they'd usher a culling of those who dared practice a faith that opposed them. A rapture that would carry those leaders at the top of the cult to a heavenly paradise.


Or so they believe...


We follow Kamoni Flaux, a capture of the Cult of Praise. Next in line to receive the blessing to become the vessel for the Lamb. They've been slowly resisting the torturous life that has befallen them ever since their imprisonment, but unfortunately their time has come to an end. With all their grit they expect to fully pass on like all those that have before them.

In spite of this, fate has other plans.

This God does begin to manifest, seeping from the blood of the brand, turning itself into a dark thick liquid as its exposed to the air. It envelops its host and to the surprise of everyone present at the ritual, the body of their so called God was nothing how it turned out.

Soft.
Rounded.
Friendly looking..?

It offered them no praise for their success in its resurrections. It instead looked within itself and its host.

Sifting through Kamoni's memories and discovering that their upbringings were similar. A sacrificial lamb.

Though it hailed from a distant past, history seemed to have repeated itself.

The lamb decides to instead share its power with its host, destroying the foundation of the cult and starting anew, this time with a fresh ideology: Praise AND Liberation.   

Though Kamoni is less than thrilled to be a passenger, they'll soon learn to adjust to this new dynamic. Who knows how they'll turn out under all this power.

TLDR: Cultists used a slave to summon a god and it backfired.

Now Host and Lamb will start a new cult.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE SETUP!
