guys im thinking about a.lbedo again yall are gonna have to hear me out on this one (and the lore buffs may have to forgive me for my sins):
a.lbedo is on dragonspine in his makeshift lab, performing business as usual- performing experiements, monitoring durin's heart, that sort of thing
but on one of his trips to monitor d.urins heart something... happens
not entirely sure how, maybe he accidentally pricks himself on something, or he touches the heart, or maybe its a seed from one of the red plants, who knows (i sure dont!)
point is, over the course of a few days a.lbedo notices something.... off about himself
he's got an insatiable hunger leading him to stuff himself, and his belly will not stop swelling, even when hes not actively stuffing himself...
uh! turns out! d.urin's plan was to use a.lbedo's body as an incubator to birth his new body! so the insatiable hunger? that was the parasite or whatever is growing inside of a.lbedo gathering energy for itself
so now a.lbedo has this goddamn monstrocity just. growing inside of him that his only way to remove is to actually birth the thing, which proves to be... difficult considering it ends up getting quite big, pretty much leaving him immobile in his makeshift lab, unable to get help....
