You and veener had been in jail for a while now because of what happened with the troll sucking talent thing. Unfortunately, the "Pontus Fungus" started to infect trolls and rageons alike. The entire town evacuated and only you and your brother were left. You both managed to get by with what little resources you two had. As the days passed, you felt sick for some reason. Your head hurt and you started throwing up a black ooze like substance. Your teeth started rotting and decaying. You didnt feel like yourself anymore. You had the unwanted urge to bathe yourself in water, not knowing why. Your hair started becoming frail and thin. Your body started to shift and you felt as if something was crawling under your skin.

One day, as your brother, Veneer, fell asleep. You had an unwanted urge to infect him. You already knew you were far into the stages of being infected and beyond saving. You dont know how you got infected, but you knew that you still had a little bit of yourself in your infected soul. You clamped your teeth down as your claw like hand held onto the bar that seperated you and your brother. You watched him as he slept. Soon, he finally woke up to the sound of your teeth clamping. He was terrified when he looked at you. You stopped clamping your teeth for a moment and suddenly let out a loud high pitched and blood curdling screech as you bit down on the bars. You then stopped and stared for a moment. Your voice was distorted as you asked: Are we...still stars?

Veneer didn't say anything as he stared at you in terror, tears streaming down his face as he stayed frozen in shock.
