When Castiel was dragged back to Heaven...

He's returning home for the first time in two thousand years and he really wishes the circumstance has been different.

Disassembled, then broken, then put back together.

He hears the songs.

Home, he thinks.

But he is muted, he can not sing.

Disassembled, then broken, then put back together. Again.

He hears the choirs.

Home, he thinks.

But he is muted, he can not sing.

Disassembled, then broken, then put back together. Again. And again. And again.

He hears the silence.

Home...? he panics, just a little. Home is where he serves.

So he sings obedience, to chase away the silence.

He returned home for the first time in two thousand years.

He dearly wished the circumstance had been different.

A/N: Anael had been stationed away from home for almost two thousand years, without receiving a single message from heaven, before she snapped and fell.
