DPxDC Dead Tired Prompt: Cult of the Lamb AU
(Preferably fantasy setting, with tribes and pagan lifestyles, like in the og game. But I wouldn't mind a different setting, like modern or medieval or even post-apocalyptic)
There was a prophecy that a member of the Drake clan will release "The One Who Waits" and bring an end to the Old Faith. To prevent this, the Bishops of the Old Faith hunted down the Drake clan till the very last one.
Tim is that last Drake. And he was executed.
But this was exactly what "The One Who Waits" was expecting. When it seemed like Tim died, he was brought to stand before "The One Who Waits", also known as "Phantom". Phantom explained to Tim, that he will bring him back to life and share his power with him so that he could avenge his clan. But in exchange, Tim must work tirelessly to set him free from his prison. To do so, Tim must start a cult in Phantom's name, gain followers and influence over the land of the Old Faith, and slay the Bishops that imprisoned him.
With not much of a choice in the matter, Tim accepts the terms of his new divine benefactor, and sets out on a quest to become a cult-leader.
Along the way he learns why Phantom was imprisoned, who imprisoned him... as well as about who Phantom was before he became "The One Who Waits".
And he may or may not have developed some feelings for the mysterious deity he's worshiping.
