Castiel stood on the sun soaked earth as he gazed at the miles of land that was the Sahara Desert. The time has come. Though, Castiel never thought it would come. He always thought that the world would have been engulfed by the Apocalypse by now and this event wouldn't have to happen. But it is which gave the Angel hope. Something he hadn't felt before.
This is where the sign will be. The sign that will show him where to go. Who to find. It was his next mission as an Angel of the Lord. The Lord that would have finally come back if the sign was shown today.
Castiel felt something in his stomach, something that felt like it was moving. Though, it wasn't his stomach. It was his vessels, Jimmy. But he still had the ability to feel and taste. But this feeling…was it nerves? Was that what it was called? The Angel pushed the thought aside and instead watched his surroundings.
Castiel quickly turned around when he heard the faint sound of laughing. Hyenas had gathered a few feet away from him. He could tell they were hungry. But they didn't do anything. They did not attack him. It was as if the animals knew of his holy presence and that he was supposed to be here and they were not allowed to mess with him. Castiel grinned slightly, almost enjoying the animal presence as he waited.
Hours quickly pasted, the sun slowly making its way down to the horizon line of the sky. If you faced towards the sun, all you could see was the silhouettes of the trees and animals that stood in its way. Come on. The sign must come.
Castiel scanned his surroundings once more, hoping to find the sign. And just like it was supposed to, he saw it. There it was. A magnificent eagle perched on the back of a triumphant lion. The eagle screeched at the Angel and the lion turned to look in Castiel's direction. And like clockwork, the lion roared a roar loud enough to wake up the people in New York City.
Castiel smiled, like a real smile. This was probably the most emotional the Angel has ever been in the shortest amount of time. He knew for sure now. God was here and was watching over all of them. Now his mission could begin. No war in Heaven, no Apocalypse. Just a new mission. For now.
A slight wind blew and in a split second he was gone.
