Obituary To An Angel
Spoiler Alert: If you haven't watched the beginning of season 7 yet you might stop reading now ... or imagine the slightly unheroic death a certain Angel of the Lord.
Summary: Friends and foes – Cas earned himself some very dedicated of each kind ... and they might wish to say a few last words. Feel free to listen.
Disclaimer: It all belongs to Kripke – only the letters are mine
A/N: I guess this sly dog is missed too by some of you – I for one liked his style. Enjoy, folks. Only one more to go, and as always ... reviews are shooting stars :D
Cas Cas Cas ...
I can't deny that I'm a bit offended. To Cain-and-Abel me like that, it's degrading. We were brothers in arms from the beginning. Oh glorious days, when we danced to the trumps of Jericho, our swords ruby from the blood of men, women and children, our appearance unleashing holy fear and terror amongst the sinners.
Remember the last days of Babylon, the humans voracious in their hunger for all the pleasures of a life soon to be doomed. Ahhh – the texture of their skin, the scent of their oiled bodies, the rich taste of the Libyan wine – I'd give my whole supply of Dom Pérignon for one of those amphores.
You don't remember.
You've always been such an ascetic you sometimes bored me to tears. No love of experimentation, no curiosity – just your iron sense of duty. I guess that's what broke your neck. The second you couldn't trust your orders anymore you were … lost. Team free will – seriously! That would've been MY game. No rules, no regrets. You? You needed a script. And when it turned out that the boss had left the building, you couldn't simply hang your tasteless trench coat off a nail and go your own ways.
Don't get me wrong. I appreciated the pleasures on that funny little planet. I liked playing in that fascinating sandbox. And it would've pained me to see our superiors with a gleaming stick in their smooth asses rule the show. So I agreed to support your crazy plans – against my better knowing. And look where it ended.
You, my friend, swallowed more than you could handle. But I gotta give you that: you surprised me. I never thought you would turn against your little pets. The look on their faces – priceless. Perhaps you weren't all that bloodless in the end – and yes, pun intended.
I'll see you on the other side, bro.
Balthazar
