Prompt: Supernatural; Castiel; he doesn't know yet - and he won't mean to do it - but he's going to be the one to destroy it all.
He was given the order, and he is a good soldier, with faith and trust and love, such utter and complete love, devotion to the Father and to Heaven and to all the choirs and all the garrisons, and he follows all orders, and he is the best, most loyal soldier, the littlest angel who could.
He gripped a soul tight and raised it from Perdition. The First Seal had already been broken.
But the last, the final Seal... could not be broken until Sam Winchester—so strong, so determined, so righteous in his belief—had reached a certain point. And that certain point couldn't happen until he looked at Alistair, at his brother broken by Alistair...
Castiel, so brave and so mighty, gripped a soul tight and raised it from Perdition, damning all of Creation. He will never know.
(Dean will.)
