The Winchester Prophecy
Lazarus Rising
Chapter One
Verse One
"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die".
And on the 120th day, Dean Winchester arose again from the dead.
And he made his way to a safe haven where he received food and water and Asian scripture.
And in that place a presence came upon him and the sound was deafening and glass fell like rain.
And Bobby Singer, who had buried him, mourned him, shed tears for him, looked upon his form and tried to stab him with a knife of silver.
And Dean showed him the truth and the mark of the demon upon his arm.
And the two of them went to the house of Dean's brother and there, with him, they found a harlot.
And his brother denied him and tried to stab him and when Dean asked how he had come to be upon the earth, Sam denied him yet again.
And Dean said unto him, "If you didn't pull me out, then what did?"
And the three of them required answers and they sought out a seer and her name was Pamela and when she would look upon the spirit Castiel, she was struck blind.
And when Sam and Dean sought sustenance, the demons demanded to know how and they had no answer for them and the demons were afraid.
And when they sought sleep, Sam Winchester went again to the demons and was met with blindness and death and the foretelling of the end.
And there he also found Ruby.
And as he slept, the presence came upon Dean Winchester yet again and the world shattered.
And Bobby and Dean traveled far to seek out the demon and made for it a trap.
And when they conjured it, the building shook and the very ground trembled and when it appeared, it was as an ordinary man.
And Dean asked of him, "Who are you?"
And the man said unto him, "I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition."
And when neither bullet nor blade could harm him, Dean Winchester wondered who and what the man truly was.
And Castiel told him his name and said unto Dean, "I'm an angel of the Lord."
And having no faith, Dean Winchester did not believe in him and Castiel unfurled a great expanse of wings.
And still Dean denied him and asked, "Why would an angel rescue me from hell?"
And Castiel said unto him, "Good things do happen, Dean."
And Dean said unto the angel, "Not in my experience."
And Castiel replied with great sadness, "You don't think you deserved to be saved."
And Dean Winchester again demanded the reason for his resurrection and the angel replied, "Because God commanded it, because we have work for you."
And God's chosen one simply stared.
