This had certainly become a highway for the fox as he passed between Orion and the place he wished to lay claim to and start his own little troupe of valiant creatures. Really, he wasn't interested in climbing to the top in terms of rank, he just wanted a group that he could easily distinguish as being allies as they traveled together and spread their wares and talents. Sounded perfect, but Louie needed to first find the appropriate members and convince them to join him. A task that was proving a lot more difficult now that Azazel and the Bonebound were a thing. Still, the knowledge of Maji Walezi was not known to him.

As he made his way back to the room of stars, where he had first found X and the bear girl, he hoped to coerce more newborns into his group. While they were young and almost defenseless in infancy, he could shape them into warriors just as he wanted them to be. A faint screeching caught his attention and he froze, unable to see anything different along the lines of boulders and rocky outcrops that fringed the tunnel, he glanced around.

Something was here, but he wasn't exactly sure where and instead of saying anything, Louie just remained silent and cast out his white sense to try and get a feel for exactly what was going on in the cellular world.

Nothing appeared too out of shape, but one particular rock was crawling with the stuff, and he moved closer to it. It didn't appear at all odd. But it had swarms of bacteria and he wasn't exactly sure why, frowning, he waited and just glanced between the various rocks.

A strange birb appeared. Not like Azazel, quite a bit smaller and with her gemstone evident upon her breast. Landing on the stone just above the one that had bacteria all over it, she greeted him and then questioned if he had ever watched another hatch from their chrysalis. Ahh, so that provided substantial information about what this rock may be and he shook his head at Bevy. All he had seen was the fragments of shell and the finished product of the process. Now, he was curious to see what creature would emerge from the rock.

It was a fairly quick process after the initial screech and the sound of scraping and movement made Louie take a step back. Unable to guess what exactly might emerge from the egg he took precautions and simply waited. There were a few more screeches, talon scrapings and a hole was burst open. What was inside wasn't a pretty sight, a mess of feathers and slight goop. Disgusted at this process, he took a few more steps back. Birth wasn't pretty, he could see that now.

They appeared to both be birbs and he frowned, not exactly powerful but the gift of flight may be useful. Unsure how big the newborn was, he decided it was best to try and grapple both them. The discovery of this spell had been through a rather vivid hallucination of his own. Whether it would work or not on others was to be seen, focusing, Louie shook his fur,

Upon releasing the spores into the air from his fur, they hardly made their way into the air and instead just circulated around his own body. Almost immediately, he began to choke on his own product and he writhed and gagged before it hit him. Sharp disastrous hallucinations began to consume him. Images of terrifying beasts pulling him apart and eating him limb by limb was the most obvious sight and as he found himself falling through a black abyss as the world was ripped out from under his feet he lost control of his feet and fell to the ground, writhing and frothing at the mouth as his eyes glassed over.

Fuck.

This writhing and spasming continued, entirely unaware of the movements of the others around him as all he could really do was see the horrible pictures his stupid spores had decided to come up with. That had been intended for use on them not him. What a moron he was for thinking it'd work.

They continued and in his catatonic state he couldn't even tell how long it had been. Pretty much useless in the interactions of the other three, he just continued his convulsing like the lump he was. Bevy's magic eased the hallucinations slightly, making sense of the bacteria in his brain that had just gone absolutely crackers. While it eased slightly, the fact it had been such a complex spell meant it was difficult to just shrug it off.

Thankfully, the frothing had stopped and his eyes began to slightly focus (in the sense he could see hazy blobs transparently against the darkness and gaping jaws of his nightmares).
