RBB/The Three Brothers and the Birds of Abaddon (spn reverse bang)

summary (for the original art prompt) : Baby Adam made ill-use of his recently gained ability to walk and stepped through a mushroom circle. Dean and Sammy are not very good babysitters but nevertheless loving (not much) big(ger) brothers and follow after him. They find themselves in an autumnal forest not unlike the one they just left except for the fact that there's no one around (not even Baby Adam). Also, they meet a talking bird. Which makes Sammy very happy! But where are they; where is Baby Adam; what does that red strand of hair tied around Castiel's leg mean; and how will they get home ? Those are all questions they should be asking themselves very seriously.

I wanted to try a children's books-y style. This was made on photoshop elements 8, with custom ink brushes I downloaded from deviantart (and have since lost).

"The first thing Dean sees when they enter the room at the top of the staircase is cages and cages of birds. It makes him stop short. Some are quiet and asleep in their cage, some are restless, some are downright panicking."
