Day 3: Followers

Day 3: Followers

“For what is a shepherd without their flock ?”

Here are three followers of lamb’s cult that will have a semi-frequent appearance on the fanfic “Encore!”. They are Khan (Yellow cat), Hauras and Baalzebub. So far, only Hauras has made an appearance, but the other two will show up eventually!.

Khan (Male domestic cat. He/him): Born inside the cult years after the initial crusade of the lamb ended, he did not experience the hardships of the land that his parents and ancestors had to. Nor he held the negative perception they had against the old faith. He was still relatively young when Leshy was indocrinated, and even if the truth of who he was obvious, the feline still felt curious about the worm. However, his parents made sure to keep their eyes on him at all times, less he accidentally crossed paths with the aggressive former god. Now that he is an adult and his parents have passed to a better life, he has tried to befriend Leshy out of curiosity to learn about him, and also due to genuine sympathy. After all, he lives isolated with his kin and barely steps foot into the cult. He surely must be lonely….. He is a farmer/part time lumberjack.

Hauras (Female deformed scorpion. She/them): One of Shamura’s former disciples, and they don’t seem to miss her former life inside the old faith. She actually seems happier in the lamb's cult than back in Silk cradle (probably because the lamb allows her to slack more than Shamura ever did as a bishop...). Speaking of the spider, deep down she and the rest of their disciples have been trying to check on them, only for Heket to turn them away with spits and curses. After her falling out with her own disciples, the frog does not trust anyone who used to served the old faith during the time of the first crusade.... And even if they don't admit it, Hauras deep down holds a sort of sense of care and concern for the state of their former master.

Baalzebub (Female deformed Cuttlefish. She/ them): One of Kallamar's former disciples. She joined his cult when she was but a young girl, with big dreams to gain importance with her literacy and poetry talents. After all, the bishop of pestilence had always played patron to all sorts of artists. Things took an unexpected turn when she ended up wrapped inside his inner court and becoming more of a follower than a servant. Yes, she still had the liberty to work in her projects (until the lamb arrived, that is), but she was not expecting to actually take part on the dirty businesses of the old faith directly. She eventually grew accustomed to it, specially after spending more and more time with her master until things started to bloom in her..... Her feelings for Kallamar were no secret to anyone, even the squid himself. However, his paranoia over the prophecy and fear of death were much stronger back then than his well known .... Ejem.... AMOROUS and generous nature. So he never tried anything with her and she did not dare to take the initiative to court a god. After her indoctrination into the lamb's cult, she was this orient eisciples already presente, out her worries at ease. Suddenly, she was free once again to dedicate full time to her stories and poems. When she presented her first result to the lamb, they seemed... almost amused ?. Either way, they let her be and become the cult's full time poet and chronicler. Learning about Kallamar's death was a hard struck on her. She had been aware that sooner or later it would happen, but it did not make the pain any easier in her. She and the rest of his followers mourned his death together, with Baalzebub's way of coping being venting her feelings and grief into paper. Many, many poems lamenting the end of Kallamar and regretting staying quiet about her love over him were born, only to remain locked inside her hut to never be revealed to anyone. When Kallamar was indocrinated, she was ecstatic of having him back. Even if technically he held no authority over her anymore. Still, she was nervous about his reaction to meeting with her and his other former disciples; after all, his younger siblings did not seem happy that theirs had taken the lamb's side and ended up pushing them away. To their shock, Kallamar did not seem surprised that they were now loyal to lamb, not resentful about it. He was very understanding about it, and the former disciples couldn't be more happy about it. They are the lucky ones out of all the disciples, since they are the only ones with a relatively normal relationship with their former master. Maybe... could it be the moment for Baalzebub to finally let what she has been felling for him out ?.

Day 28: Genocide.

Goat, just like Lambert, is the last of his kind. And this fact torments him daily. He feels guilt over the fact that he outlived his race (even if it was no fault of his) and is pressured by his own conscience to never forget the tragedy, and to promise himself that if the chance ever comes, to try to re-populate …. Using his own seed.

He won’t show up until the main arc is over.

Also, I got confused with the days.

🚨🚨A Humanitarian Appeal: Hope for a New Life Away from War📢😭💔

Today marks the first anniversary of October 7th, and every day since that date, violence, massacres, and heavy bombing have continued in Gaza and Lebanon. For an entire year, my family, like many others, has lived under the relentless shelling, struggling to survive the devastation and death. We have been displaced from one place to another, with each escape from our home being another step in a bitter journey of continuous displacement.

Life in Gaza has become unbearable🍉🇵🇸; the living conditions worsen by the day, and with each bombing, we lose a part of our lives and our hope. We are calling on the world to hear our voice, as we are now in desperate need to leave this hell and build a better life away from war and destruction.📢😭💔

Why am I asking for your help?

My family and I live in constant fear, surrounded by the sounds of explosions and the uncertainty of tomorrow. We do not have the resources to leave this devastated region and start a new life in safety. We are asking for your financial support to help us escape Gaza and secure a better future for ourselves and our children, far from the violence.

How can you help?

Any amount can make a difference. Your donations will help cover travel expenses, shelter, and ensure a dignified life in a safe place. You are the hope that gives us the strength to continue in these difficult circumstances, and your support is the chance that could save our lives.😔💔

If you can donate or even share this appeal with others, every small step brings us closer to achieving our goal of leaving Gaza.

“Darkwood flora has always been… unique. Although, it is hard to say if it was the result of He of Havoc’s influence, or something that existed before he did”.

I have to say, Darkwood’s design has always been an interesting one. The interactive comic in the pilgrim pack DLC definitely gave it justice too.

Hello,,

My name is Malak, I am 18 years old, and I am a medical student. My dream has always been to complete my education and travel abroad to achieve my aspirations. However, the war has destroyed our lives and halted my educational journey. My family and I live in Tal Alhawa, Gaza, and we once had a happy life and a beautiful home.

My little brothers, my support and my beloved ones: Moataz, Moatasem & Fadel.

My dad is Abdelhamid Dader, who used to work at a water station, and my mother is Mona Alanqar. I have siblings named Shahd, Moataz, Moatasem, and Fadel.

Moataz was killed in cold blood. He was a lifeline and a beating heart..

Our house was burned and destroyed, forcing us to move 20 times in different areas in northern Gaza. My father was injured and couldn't receive the necessary treatment due to a lack of medical supplies and the difficulty of travel. My 15-year-old brother Moataz was killed :( by a missile while trying to fetch water, and my younger brother was injured in the same incident and also couldn’t get proper medical care.

Beautiful memories gathered here..

This is what our house has turned into in this nightmare that we are still living.

My father's job ended because of the war and his injury, and his workplace was destroyed. We spent all our savings, and now we cannot provide the basics of life as famine chases us in the north. My mother and younger brother contracted hepatitis due to pollution, poor nutrition, and lack of healthcare. We all suffer from fainting and loss of consciousness due to these diseases and malnutrition.

Part of the life I had in Faculty of Medicine..

Moments of joy in excelling in success and obtaining a 99% average in high school.

Now, we are fighting for a space to sleep among the rubble, and fighting to get water and food.

I appeal to your kind hearts to help me and my family survive this tragedy. My dream is to complete my education abroad, get the necessary treatment for my family, and live a dignified life like other human beings.

Your donation, no matter how small, can change our lives and give us hope for a brighter future. This can help cover the costs of treatment and travel.

Share our story with your friends and family to raise awareness and support.

Pray to God to admit you to Paradise and compensate us with great goodness.. RIP

Your words and prayers give us the strength to endure these difficult circumstances.

Thank you to everyone who stands with us in this hardship. Together, we can make a difference.

Malak and Her Family

Day 29: Claws

“O-Oh crowns… What have I done ?!”

Narinder’s betrayal was not planned. Nor he had the intention of doing the things he did to his family…… until it happened.

It happened in the spur of the moment. One moment he had asked his siblings to meet up with him, and before he knows it, he wakes up in an unfamiliar place. Chained up. Alone….. bloodied.

He initially did not remember what had happened and was incredibly confused…. But when he did, all he could do was stare at his claws. Horrified with what he had done.
