Prompt: Castiel, Cas talks to Gaia for info. about God
Uriel would call him a naive child. Uriel would stand before him in their true form, of air and fire and spirit. Uriel would scorn this action, kneeling on the Earth and praying to Gaia, She who came first, She who created the creator, She who is, was, and will be unto the ending of all and even after.
Uriel, at the end, did not believe in God, so Castiel knows he never believed in Gaia. But the more time Castiel spends among humans, inside Jimmy, the more feels something. It is not of Heaven, or of Hell, which leaves only Earth.
Gaia. God's Mother, She who first created, and She who will finally decide when everything ends.
And so, in Jimmy's body, he kneels upon the dirt and whispers, asking for aid in finding Father, Her firstborn child.
He stays there until dawn and while he never hears Gaia's voice, his phone rings, Dean on the other end.
The wind seems to laugh as he answers, and he supposes that means something.
(Much later, he'll realize what that something was.)
