"This is the story of how I – Castiel – died.
But don't worry, this is actually a very fun story and the truth is, it isn't even mine.
This is the story of a boy named Dean Winchester and it starts with a falling star.
Now once upon a time a single star fell from the heavens and this glowing star fell into a lake. This star gave the water the power to heal the sick and injured.
Not far away from the lake was a moutain. On this mountain, people built a whole kingdom.
Well, centuries passed and there grew a kingdom.
The kingdom was ruled by a beloved king and queen. And the queen, well, she was about to have her first baby.
But she got sick.
Really sick.
She was running out of time, and that when people usually start to look for a miracle. Or in that case, the water from a magic lake.
Guards walked through a dark forest, they were looking for that lake. They followed a dark path which lead them to a glade. This glade was full of flowers and beneath a straight, stone hillside, was a beautiful, blue-glowing lake.
The guards filled a flask with the lake's magic water.
They brought the water back to the kingdom and gave it to the queen.
The power in the water healed the queen.
A healthy baby boy, a prince, was born. The baby had a weird birthmark in the shape of a star with a sun around it.
I'll give you a hint: that's our Dean Winchester.
Far away, in a forest, lived a old scottish woman. She heard of the baby and she found out that he had special powers.
You might want to remember her for a bit. She's kind of important.
Well, Dean got older and older and when he was four years old, the queen got pregnant again.
This time she didn't get sick and another healthy, baby boy was born. This little boy, too, had the weird star-shaped birthmark. No one worried about it, as it didn't give the other child any problems either, so why worry?
The king and queen stood outside with their baby in their arms and Dean on the floor.
To celebrate the other baby's – Sam's – birth, the king and queen launched a flying lantern into the sky, just like they did when Dean was born. And for that moment, everything was perfect… and then that moment was over.
Sam was sleeping in his cradle and Dean was in the same room as his parents. The balcony door in Sam's room opened and a red-haired woman walked into the room – Miss Scottish.
I told you she'd be important.
That woman is Rowena, one of the oldest and most powerful witches of all. She may be powerful, but she needed the power of Sam for her own secret plans. And to activate that power, the only thing she had to do was sing a special song. To give you an idea, it goes like this:
Source of grace and glow.
Let your powers shine.
Make the clock reverse.
Bring me what should be mine, what should be mine.
Sam's hair started glowing and you could see the shape of his birthmark, glowing through his littleshirt.
Kind of clear, right?
She sings the song and the magic shows its power.
It's creepy.
Rowena lent over the baby and smiled. She could share Sam's powers with everyone and let him use it for great things, but instead of sharing the gift, Rowena wanted to keep it for herself.
Rowena then took off Sam's shirt and took a good look at the glowing birthmark. She put her finger on the birthmark, her fingertip glowing with the magic she needed to take over Sam's magic.
She, of course, couldn't use the child – he was far too young. She just needed the power that he had inside him.
So with her own magic, she was going to separate the power from Sam.
She slid her finger over the birthmark, but to her surprise, she broke the power's circulation. The power left Sam's body, but instead of finding its way into Rowena, the power disappeared.
Sam had no power left, so he had become useless to Rowena.
The king and queen heard Sam crying – losing his power hurt Sam – so the king and queen ran into Sam's room. They never saw any glimpse of Rowena, but what they didn't know yet was that Rowena teleported into Dean's room.
Dean was still sleeping and he heard nothing of Rowena coming into his room. Rowena sang the song again and activated Dean's power.
This time, she was smart and took the child.
Dean woke up in the arms of Rowena and he started crying for his parents.
The king and queen ran into Dean's room to calm him down, but when they ran into the room, it was already too late.
The last thing they saw of Dean was Rowena with him on the balcony and not a second later they weren't there anymore – they had disappeared into thin air…
The kingdom searched and searched, but they couldn't find the prince.
For deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Rowena raised the child as her own.
She wiped Dean's memories of his years with his real parents and now she could use Dean's powers for her own.
Dean sometimes asked why he couldn't go outside, but Rowena told him that the outside was a dangerous place and that the world was full of horrible and selfish people.
Of course Dean listened to Rowena; she was the only person he could trust…
But the walls of that tower could not hide everything.
Some nights, when Rowena was sleeping, Dean snuck to a window to see the outside world.
Each year, on Dean's birthday, the king and queen released thousands of flying lanterns into the sky, in the hope that, one day, their lost prince would return."
