SPN ANGEL SPIN-OFF // SIGILS & SWORDS
► And when all hope seems lost, the child of three worlds shall rise and bring light to the darkness. JOSHUA 14:16
After thrusting the soul’s back into purgatory, Castiel’s weakened state prompted several high-ranking demons to take advantage and drag him into Hell. He dwelled there for centuries—his grace ripped to pieces and his vessel beaten and bruised. The pain was unrelenting. Just as he was about to give up faith entirely, Castiel found himself torn from the shackles that pinned him to jagged stone. He looked up only to find the archangel Gabriel grinning lazily. “You’re lucky, bro. I don’t go downstairs by myself for just anyone.” Castiel trembled before him. “I..I don’t understand. Why are you here? You…just go. Please. Leave me here. After what I did…this is what I deserve.” Gabriel’s eyes flashed angrily. “No, I don’t think so. Especially after I froze half my ass off trying to get to you. You would think Luci was suffering from hot flashes with the temperature he keeps it down here. Yeah, no. You’re coming with me buddy-boy.” And with that, he curled Castiel’s remaining grace within his own and flew out of the depths of Hell and back to Earth.
The smell of wet soil hit Castiel immediately. He tumbled to the ground as Gabriel let go, and clenched his vessel’s hands in the dirt. “Take me back, Gabriel,” he growled. “No, Castiel. You’re needed here. Heaven’s gone to shit since you went under. Earth’s been pretty much taken over by the Mother of All. And Hell is in an even worse state than before. Seriously, why did anyone let that demon Meg be in charge? …And then there is poor old me who found myself resurrected in the middle of this mess with Joshua raving on and on about some stupid prophecy.” Castiel looked up in surprise. “A prophecy?” Gabriel smiled. “Aah, I knew that would catch your interest. You see, it’s been foretold that the one to fix the clusterfuck going on would be a child of heaven, earth, and hell. And…well, I certainly didn’t fit that bill, so I thought who?” Castiel frowned in confusion. “It’s you, idiot! YOU! You were a child of heaven but then you fell and had your emotional awakening or whatever with the Winchester brothers and then you partied with Luci’s cronies in the basement and your grace was corrupted. I mean, you’re not even full angel anymore. You’re like this weird hybrid thing. Angel. Human. Demon. A perfect blend of all three.” He looked down at Castiel only to find the younger being grief-stricken. “Oh boo hoo. It’s nothing to cry over, bro. You’re the first! It’s an honor really. Oh! And I almost forgot, Balthazar and Anna were resurrected with me. They wanna say hi because they still love you even though you were kind of a huge dick to both of them. And Crowley’s sort of on our team too. ‘Cause he wants Hell back for himself and I know there’s some bad blood between you but I’m sure we can make it work! Now…are you in or out?”
