Pov of a cultist:
After 3 days waiting in the secret room just me and the Lord of Shadows next to that tornado of macabre Blood of his ritual to break the seal of the Cursed Dungeon, we had nothing to do and he decided that we would wait where we were.
The only time I went out was when the Lord of Shadows ordered me to get food for him, so I went to the poor area to get some people to bring to him.
One thing I've discovered being so close to the Lord of Shadows for so long is he never misses a thing, he's always mindful of every thing I do and say, I just can't tell if he distrusts me for some specific reason I don't know or for me not being one of the religious fanatics like most of the cult.
Unlike most of them, I just follow the Dragon philosophy of seeking strength, for me the strength of the Lord of Shadows is in his wisdom, confidence, ruthlessness, and power.
