DISCLAIMER: DO NOT OWN SUPERNATURAL!
TITLE: Passing the Torch
SUMMARY: When Lucifer kills Gabriel, one angel will finally emerge from the shadows to enter the playfield.
TIMELINE: Set at the end of "Hammer of Gods" after Gabriel dies and Lucifer leaves the hotel.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: After that heart-breaking episode and what happened to dear Gabriel, I felt like he needed a proper mourning, so this story is written in tribute to Gabriel the archangel. Flashbacks are in italics. Sam and Dean will gain new allies, and Lucifer will face a showdown. These are just things to look forward to. This is my first venture into the Supernatural fandom, so I hope I do the characters justice. Comments and critiques are more than welcomed, but flames will be ignored.
PROLOGUE:
The figure took slow deliberate steps into the room, its short golden blond hair shines like a ring of halo, its sapphire blue eyes gazing intensely at the body lying on the ground, its mood somber and solemn. It recognizes what it sees, an angel murdered, an angel no longer in existence. It sees the ashen wings spread out across the floor. It sees the body lying motionless with no life and grace. It can sense the hollowness and emptiness of this room where once was filled with blinding light and power. It knew who killed this magnificent angel. It knew the creature who had turned his back on family. There should be no forgiveness for killing a brother. That is why Lucifer, the morning star, the one God had once loved and still loves the most, will never find his way back home.
It knelt down next to the body, its hand reached out gently and brushed away a stray strand of hair. Through its eyes, love, care, and compassion shine brightly. It leaned down close and placed a kiss onto the dead angel's forehead, its eyes closed in mourning and grief. Opening them again, tears could be seen in the figure's light eyes, eyes filled with not only sadness but hiding a seething anger. Within seconds, the figure stood up, eyes still gazing down at the fallen angel. With the wave of a hand, the archangel knife that was buried into chest of the murdered angel appeared into the figure's hand.
"Goodbye my brother."
The figure whispered and with the wave of another hand, a glowing orb of energy enveloped the body lying motionless on the ground. And when the light finally faded, the body was gone, it was as if the dead angel had not been there at all.
Gazing one more time at the ground where the body had once been, the figure turned and walked out of the room, the archangel knife held tightly in its grasp. It now has a mission to do, a promise to fulfill. One brother to save, one brother to convince, one brother to avenge, and one brother to stop.
Gabriel the beloved archangel may be gone, but not in vain. The torch has now been passed. The legacy will carry on.
Who is this figure? What will happen? And what was the promise? Next chapter, the mysterious figure meets Sam and Dean, and brings along an unexpected guest.
