Castiel may have expected many things, but this was not one of them. He could?indulge himself and experience many regrets, but as Sam had taught him, they were rather useless indulgencies. They solved nothing, saved nobody, and would certainly not make the situation any better for his innocent child. He would simply have to come back for him later. After he had reinforcement and found the way to meet the?ancient whore?on his own terms. "I'll be back," he promised his child, Halbrek and even himself, feeling reassured from the simple words.

Where Nimrod almost made Abraham sacrifice Isaac to the bull headed god, until Gabriel stayed his hand. A place of blood and fire. Of sacrifice, war and conflict. But all of this was in the past. No demon or other Neither being attempted to assault them. They were?safe for now, and hoping for some assistance. Castiel drew the ancient Enochian symbols to summon Heaven's?utmost healer, Raphael. He could have simply used a prayer, but something told him this place had ears and a verbal component might make the archangel reluctant.?When the summoning was complete, the angel of war leaned over his partner, and began pouring his energy into her, hoping that would be sufficient until help arrived.
