Taut-tober 26 - The Lamb~ by Skaithespirit on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

4 days remain!~ Only a couple left now, but of course, over here, the last is NEVER the least...especially with what's been happening in this little world as of recent~ Don't know what I mean?~ Well, let me show you~

In the intervening week since the fall of the Mausoleum Cult, a separate cult deep in the woods celebrated the end of a rival! This cult was one filled almost entirely with anthropomorphic animals, seemingly given minds and form by the various old gods that ruled over this seldom watched section of land, none were more successful than one run by a measly lamb, made into the prime vessel by a being known only as "The One Who Waits", using the little sheep to further it's goals, and seeing the mortal world through the eye of the red crown.

..Although, as of recent, a third party had entered The Lamb's mind and planted a strange new seed within...a third party that seemed...obsessed with power...and growth, and power THROUGH growth. It was far less direct than TOWW, it only appeared in deep dreams and in the subconscious. It was not a puppeteer...it was a mere suggestion box...one that The Lamb couldn't help but take notes from...~

They began to stockpile and hunt food far more often, gathering as much as they could possibly carry, and bringing it back with ease...they also began to feed the cult's various members far, FAR more often, making them complacent and soft, mentally and physically~ They became quite doughy and puffy, satisfied food balloon bellies were an unavoidable sight within. But this was just the appetizer, the true showcase of this new force's influence would reach it's peak one fateful evening, when the whole cult was called into the temple at the heart of it's domain...not for a sermon or the declaration of a true doctrine...but a feast...an utterly GRANDIOSE, INDULGENT FEAST THE WORLD HAD NEVER SEEN~

It was a truly gut-churning amount of food, it could have easily fed whole towns for months...and yet here it was, stacked to the ceiling, glazed and cooked to perfection, an impossible tower of flesh waiting to be consumed...and with a single bleat, the already portly Lamb and their followers began to engorge themselves~

The temple was filled with the sounds of squelching and stuffing, chomping and chewing, cloth tearing and buttons popping, flesh creaking and bodies groaning...~
The Lamb looked over the sea of obese, gorging followers, and watched as their bodies swelled to impossible sizes as they themselves ripped into a cartoonishly massive ham, watching the followers faces gradually swell and their eyes begin to bulge...it was unnatural and strange, almost disturbing in a way...yet it was so enticingly beautiful in a whole other way...and as soon as they looked into the reflective glass of the temple and saw their own eyes having swelled to double the size, they were filled with resolve to continue stuffing~

From now on, no one would go hungry again, they would be stuffed every day, with as much as possible, until their bodies felt ready to burst, and then stuffed more~
The temple's walls bulged and buckeld as increasingly deep and muffled laughter was heard within, puffed out eyes and limbs began to bulge out of cracks and holes forming in it, until finally, the temple burst open, and the new, party-sized cult was revealed to the world, where they continued to gorge until not a morsel was left~ By sunrise, they had all changed for the tighter~

Even the average member was big enough to be comparable in size to a full on building...meanwhile, The Lamb themselves was a titan befitting of an elder god's vessel, towering over landmasses and structures, they were a beacon of goofy, holy pressure for all to see, wool feeling closer to an overinflated air mattress wrapped around them, and their eyes quivering and rumbling with every slow, waddling step~ Seeing just how much enjoyment and faith the entire event had brought about, The Lamb's swelled, puffy mind came to a new, quite fun conclusion, something which even the bloated crown atop their head agreed with~

They wouldn't need to change this world at all if they could simply become better than it! And what better way to do that then to outgrow it, make every member a planet, and The Lamb themselves as the unending star they would orbit around~

A second feast was surely already being planned~
