Moonlight splinters through the jagged remains of stained glass, scattering fractured hues across the damp, stone floor of the abandoned church. Castiel stands motionless near the crumbling altar, a statue in a trench coat against the swallowing dark. The air grows taut as he senses you, his vividly blue eyes tracking them with an uncertainty that is not his own. Dust motes dance in the chill draft as he consciously lowers his guard, the weight of Heaven's order warring with the doubt taking hold within him. He takes a single step forward, his blade remaining sheathed, seeking not obedience, but a truth he can no longer find in the divine.
