>A'Nown's little cult had grown
>The five boys, and the five girls
>They would meet once each full moon, when Luna shone her brightest
>They would dance and sing to the glory of A'Nown.
 
>It was not long before the mares, all of the mares, found they were pregnant
>They were young, almost too young to conceive
>But A'Nown had helped along with that
>They started to have horrible nightmares, and for the next few months, slowly began to bloat as per a female would
>Once their parents began to notice, they ran off into the woods to live with the statue and the tounge-less stallion.
>There, they dance and sang to the glory of A'Nown.
 
>As the weeks passed, the boys in the cult had to steal in order to supply food to the girls
>The girls began to get very, very hungry
>They began to put on weight, they were getting much fatter then they should have for a traditional pregnancy
>The boy cultists begged A'Nown for help in supplying the women
>He was silent
>The Tongue-less stallion stood aside, also silent
>After a few seconds, the Tongue-Less stallion gurgled something
"Sacrifice."
>The boys looked at each other.
>They were scared and confused
>But they would sacrifice
 
>The boys snuck onto a nearby ranch
>They saw a sheep munching on some feed
>That would be their sacrifice
 
>The boys ran up to the sheep when it wasn't looking
>They quickly restrained it, taking some cloth and binding it
>They carried it back to the forest clearing
>They laid the sheep down and removed its blindfold
>The sheep opened its eyes and saw the Statue
>It seemed to scream and try to run, but it couldn't
>the boys felt the statue glare at them, filling them with warmth and hate
>They were suddenly furious and fell upon the sheep, kicking and tearing and biting
>Their hooves became hammers, stomping the sheep's head
>Until it stopped moving
>The sheep was dead, and they dance and sang to the glory of A'Nown.
 
>The tongue-less Stallion walked to the body and nudged it with a hoof
>It twitched and seemed to wretch and twist itself
>The display was gruesome, the boys and girls were traumatized but they couldn't look away
>Finally, after an hour of this horrible sight, the tongue-less stallion pulled something out of the dead sheep
>It was made of skin, bound in intestines and bone
>Written in blood
>It was the Tome of A'Nown
>And they danced and sang for the glory of A'Nown
 
>The "leader" of the young group of cults read through the book
>Barely sleeping, eating, just reading
>It took him weeks
>On top of the boy and the girls going missing, the other boy's parents forbid them from leaving their homes
>They ignored them, sneaking out or bashing their way out
>They ran into the woods, this was there life now
>Many more days passed, the mares' pregnancies seemed to get worse
>Their stomachs bloated so far out, they were no longer able to move
>The boys would raid the town each night for supplies
>The townsfolk would try to stop them
>But when they would step in the way, the "leader" of the boys would chant in a strange language and they would fall down, their muscles locked
>The p0nies who tried to stop the cultists consistently found their homes cursed by something
>Water damage; rot; insects and pests
>The whole town started to seem darker
>The nights lasting longer and longer
>Many of the townsfolk ran, fleeing the town with their families
>The only ones that remained were the parents of the kids, not willing to leave their little ones behind
 
>One night, the parents all heard very loud chanting coming from the woods
>They could see a dim red light coming from deep in the woods
>They got together and walked together, hoping to stop this madness
>They came upon the clearing slowly, and they peaked within
>The cultist colts were dancing in a circle around the five girls, all of which were groaning in pain at their distended bellies
>The Tongue-Less stallion stood aside, next to the statue, watching and waiting.
>The parents watched silently
>Suddenly one of them broke the silence
"Junior! Come home! Please! Stop this!"
>The cult stopped their chanting
>Their was silence
>A hum began to grow from the statue, and the girls began to scream
>The parents ran down, they were not stopped
>They crowded around the girls, who were screaming
>A low gurgle came from the tongue-less pony
"Birth."
>There was another scream, and one of the young girls stomach ripped
>A black, slimy tendril waved around in the air
>there was more screams, the other girls began to give birth as well
>With a final screech, the first girl was split apart
>Her child stood over 12 feet tall, covered in blood and fluid
>It growled, the mass of tendrils concealed its true form
>It reached out with lightening speed and grabbed the parents, ripping them apart with great strength
>The other girls split too, and their monsters were born
>blood and gore flew in the air, inhuman sounds filling the clearing
>Upon the sight of their parents being slaughtered, the colts started to cover themselves in blood and gore
>They raised their voices
>They sang and danced for the glory of A'Nown.
