Dean is shown to be hanging out with Octavia, as he is sitting onto the couch, due to Stolas being elsewhere involving something that is very important, snd he won't be able to come back for the rest of the day, espeicaly since he now has an incubus lover to be with after he broke off with Blitzø, who acted like a self-centered bastard to him without care and without remorse until it is too late. Octavia did not hear about what happened between both Stolas and Blitzø, and Dean prefers that she does not find out about it either. And of course, Astarte is also present with the both of them as well, as Dean spoke out what seems to be something that happrned that happened in his life.
"And my brother Set ended up having his ice cream stolen by a kid, so i chased that idiot for a while until he tackled hin and caught it before it hit the ground. And honestly...that made me exceedingly exhauted from that fucking goose chase."
Octavia and Astarte chuckled a bit from this, as Octavia spoke out.
"Hah, it does seem fucking funny to go on a wild chase to get back some Ice Cream for your brother, and what about your other younger brother, Hevel?"
Dean shrugged a bit and spoken out.
"He was paying way too much attention to something else at the time, and was admittedly sort of oblivious to what was happening."
Astarte chuckled at this, her 5 heads looked at Dean with a look of amusement, as she thought inside of her head of Dean chasing her around, as the both of them ran around in circles in what must have been a cartoonish fashion in a sort of way, as she spoke out to Dean.
"Wow, your brother being clueless of this happening, that is oddly cute. But you having to chase around thr bully is even cuter. I can't help but imagine of how hilarious it is."
Dean looked down and rubbed the back of his head, as he spoke out to Astarte.
"Well, it was more infuriating than hilarious. And admittedly, I almost want to get back at that jerk for making me waste time and not letting me have my own ice cream, which I had been waiting for in line at that ice cream truck."
Octavia and Astarte both chuculed again at this, as Octavia spoke out.
"Well, you did get the fucking ice cream you wanted, right?"
Dean nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"Yeah, at the last minute. I almost thought i was gonna have a heart attack and not make it in time."
Astarte smiled a tiny bit, as she strokes Dean's cheek with her head, as she later spoke out to him.
"Well, on the bright side, you manage to get it. And hopefully it was worth hanging out with your brothers for this."
Dean smiled a bit and nodded his head, as he later spoke out.
"It was. We were finally able to hang out and eat ice cream together, and admitedly, that was sort of one of the happiest moments tiat I had ever went through in my life. It is just amazing that I did not my youngest brother's sweet treat."
Loki then floats besides Dean, his leggs crossed over and resmebles a Goetia demon, as Loki spoke out.
"Yeah, and as karma, the bully did not get his Ice Cream due to being too busy knocked to the floor and unconscious and woke up when it was the afternoon, when the truck rode away."
Dean smiled a bit, as Astarte looks down at Dean, as she then spoke out to him involving her opinion on the bukly that he encountered.
"Well, the jerk you talked about did fucking deserve it."
Dean nodded his head, as he spoke back to her.
"Totally, Octavia. And hopefully he might have learned his lesson...although I doubt he will."
Loki shrugged a bit himself, as Octavia's eyes glowed and dimmed a bit, as she leaned her head against Dean's shoulders and nuzzled into him a bit, like he is a rock for her to lean on. Dean does not mind, as he just lets her do it without any bother, espeically since she is the happiest she ever is whenever she is near him. And luckily, Stolas is not against Octavia's relationship with Dean. On the contrary, he trusts him enough to knoe he will treat her well, as Dean smiled a bit and felt her feathers against his cheek, the feathers acting as long hair, as Loki looked at the side and spoke out.
"Oh, nuts. Hey Dean, we are supoosed to be meeting with..him, again."
Dean looked at the time and spoke out, as his eyes widened a bit.
"Oh, nuts. Well, I guess I should, ah...get going."
Octavia and Astarte looked at Dean with a curious expression on their faces, as Astarte spoke out.
"Oh, are you planning to go somewhere, Dean?"
Dean nodded his head, as takes put his Old Grimoire, which he summoned into his hand, as he than responds back to the Daughter of Asmodeus.
"Yeah, it is. And admitedly I cannot keep him waiting and he definitely wants to have a...small talk with me."
Octavia then looks and spoke out to him.
"Well, mind if we can come along?"
This made Dean somewhat surprised at this, in which he turned around and spoke out to her in a flat tone.
"Wait, what?"
Astarte smiled herself at what Octavia said, in which she walks up to Dean and spoke out to him, her fingers stroke his back a little bit, as she now has a tone of a seductive allure present into her voice.
"You heard her. Would you mind if we can come along? After all, there is so much that we have known about you, and we are curious if we can tag along to see what else you have that we don't. So...can we?"
This made Dean a little bit conflicted, as he is not sure if this is even okay to do so. But he looks at Octavia's eyes, which are begging for him to do so, and has a smile present, and he looks at Astarte, who is doing the same with her 4 eyes. Dean looks down, and as he did, a voice spoke out to him inside of his own mind.
'Let them come..."
Dean looks up a bit and sighed, as the voice from someone he knows of is allowing this, and he does not want to make Octavia and Astarte upset. He looks at them both and spoke out.
"Okay, fine. You both can come along. Just hoke that you are ready for what we are about to go to when i show it."
Octavia and Astarte smiled, as Loki pinched his nose a bit, but he does not argur about it, as he than spoke out.
"Ugh, really hope that you don't get whoozy when we go to this place, because it's one hell of a chaotic mess of its own."
Octavia and Astarte looks up at Loki, as they are unsure of what he meant by that. They just hope that it is not anything that is very bad or whatever. Dean sighed a bit, as he makes a portal and goes into it, and both Octavia and Astarte jumped in as well to see what he is doing. When they did, they see that they are in an alleyway, with Dean cutting his own hand witnh the katana, as he then began to do sonething what Loona had seen him do. He draws pentagram with his own blood,and he then began to make 2 lines on the left and right side on the circle, and then made 2 smaller circles that connect to the pentagram. He then took out his backpack and pulled out a jar that has a horn of a demon from Hell, and then he pulled out another jar that has angel feathers inside of it, placing the horns andd the feathers on each of the smaller circle, making sure that they do not get out of the circles boundaries. Both Astarte and Octavia looked confused at the sight, as Astarte spoke out to Dean.
"Umm...Cutie? What are you doing?"
Dean looks at Astarte and spoke out.
"It's what I use in order to go...where I am trying to go to."
He then stood up, and sees that the circle is now beginning to glow. Dean looks at Astarte and Octavia and holds his hands out, as he than spoke out to them.
"C'mon, take my hands, otherwise you'll be left behind."
Octavia and Astarte looked at Dean and did so, as they both took a hand he is holding out, and than, all 3 of then saw a flash of light, which made both Astarte and Octavia close their eyes, not really sure how they can handle the very bright light. After a few moments, the light died down, and all 3 of them are now in Purgatory. Astarte and Octavia looked around, as they see they are in the forest area of Purgatory, and Octavia spoke out ro Dean.
"Woah, Dean. Where are we?"
Dean looks at both of the Goetia girls and spoke out to her.
"Astarte, Octavia...welcome to Purgatory."
Octavia looked confused and was about to speak out, but than, Astarte began to respond in a way that Dean did not expect.
"No way...this is Purgatory? I thought it was jist some story my old man made up!"
Dean looks ar Astarte, and she looked fascinated and a little shocked, as Loki appeared next to her and spoke out.
"Wait, you know this place, Astarte?"
Astarte looks at Loki, Dean, and Octavia, and spoke out to them.
"I've never seen this place before, but I have heard of it. My father told me all about this place when I was a young girl! He said that this place, a long time ago, once was connected to both Heaven and Hell in the past, and acted as a sort of 'courtroom' type of afterlife that determines which souls are allowed to go to Heaven, and which ones go to Hell. But, apparently, due to something that both Heaven and Hell had done, that even my dad does not know, Purgatory became disconnected to both places, denying any demon or angel entry to it."
Dean looked surprised at this, having not expected for Asmodeus of all people to know, as he responds back.
"Huh...didn't know a member of the 7 sins is aware of this place at all."
Astarte looks down at Dean and spoke out.
"It's not just my dad. All of the sins are aware of this place, since they have visited it during the first 1 thousand years of existence, except for Uncle Lucifer himself, who's known it way longer than the other sins, and this was way, way before me and a cousin of mine was born. How did you even gain access to this place anyway?"
Dean than shows the Grimiore in his hand, as he spoke out.
"Apparently, this book has knowledge of it, at least how to make an entrance to Purgatory."
Astarte looks at the book, and gently takes it from Dean's hands, as she looked down and observed the book in her hands, as she than spoke out.
"Huh...this book...it must have been around while Purgatory was still connected to both Heaven and Hell. I'm surprised it still existence and works. All of the other books were destoryed or burned by both Angels and Demons to prevent anymore access to it by humans."
Astarte looks down at Dean and hands the book back, and Dean takes it, but she notices that Dean is still hanging onto both her and Octavia's arms, as Octavia spoke out to Dean.
"Uh...Dean, why the fuck are you still grabbing onto us?"
Dean sighed and spoke out to her.
"Mainly because of what Purgatory is like."
Octavia looked confused, and Dean spoke out to ger in order to explain what he meant by that.
"Purgatory is a really...really confusing and chaotic place to be in. It constantly changes and and warps in ways that even I have difficulty keeping track of. The topography and layout of Purgatory constantly alters itself by changing and altering the direction of where we are going. This can at times make traveling it exceptionally difficult, because you have no way of knowing of you'll go in the direction you'll want to go. So, because of this, I put a tracking spell on the exit so i can find a way to go back, in case it'll take a long time to do so, unless the route changes to make us go back faster. And the laws of physiocs...are also sort of screwed up. Becausw all of a sudden, one moment, you'll be walking normally, and the next monent, you'll be walking upside down without even knowing it, or sideways sometimes."
Octavia looked a bit shocked at this info, as Loki then appeared, as he spoke out.
"And that is not even the worst part. The worst part of it is that...time in Purgatory is exceptionally screwed up. When Dean took his longest stay here, he spent 24 hours in Purgatory, but when he came, a single second past outside of it."
Astarte looked stunned and Octavia looked even more shocked, as Astarte spoke out to Loki.
"...I knew Purgatory is said to be a very odd place to be in...but this...this far exceeds my initial thoughts on it."
Octavia looks at Dean and spoke out.
"How the shit do you even handle this insanity, Dean?"
Dean shrugged his shoulders, and spoke out.
"Let's say I had to force myself to get use to it and try to learn as much as I can in how it works, especially the way that it changes. And one thing you should know...we are not physically in Purgatory. At least in the way you think it is."
Octavia looked confused, and spoke out.
"What do you mean?"
Loki later appeared and spoke out to Octavia.
"Your physical shells are left behind back at the sigil that Dean made. It is your souls that are in Purgatory. But that does not mean you are dead. So don't worry if you are beginning to think that."
Octavia did look slightly panicked, but she thankfully calmed down, as Astarte then spoke out to Dean.
"Well, if that is true, then let's make sure we do not get lost."
She opened the palms of her hands, as smoke chains and shackles formed an arm of Dean and Octavia, as Astarte made then wrap around her wrists in order ro ensure that they do not get lost. Octavia looked at the chain on her right arm, while Dean looks at the chain that is on his left arm, as Octavia spoke out.
"Wait a second, Dean...why can't you just teleport to...wherever you eant to go to?"
Dean looks at Octavia and spoke out to her.
"I tried that once...and it turns out teleporting makes traveling worse, because it instead sends me to a random location. Last time I tried that, I almost teleported to a section of Purgatory, I was not supoosed to go to. So...I swore to always stay on foot whenever I go to Purgatory."
Octavia blinked and spoke out.
"Oh...well shit."
Dean shrugged his shoulders a bit, as he responds back to Octavia.
"Well, it is what it is. Anyway, let's get going. Don't want to keel him waiting."
Dean than began to move, and since he placed a tracking sigil on the exit, he'll know how to go back, even from this ever-changing landscape of an afterlife, as Octavia and Astarte followed suit and Loki flies beside them. And of course, Astarte ans Octavia are unaware of Loki's new 'existing' status in Purgatory, but Loki decides not to inform them of this, since they are already getting somewhat of a headache from the information involving Purgatory, and just continued traveling through Purgatory...or at least they try to, as they somehow went to the exit at the opposit end. Dean looks a bit annoyed at this, as he spoke out.
"And I just remembered that it can sometimes do that as well. Let's try the other direction."
Octavia and Astarte are a bit weirded out at the sight of this, as they went into another direction to try and find another route to go to. And sure enough they did, as they walked through the path and so far, they are not going back to that exit instantly this time. All 4 continued to move, as they went through an area thet Dean knows of well, a rocky hill filled with separate openings into its hollow center. Astarte could sense the humans that are dead and on this place. But...that is not all that she sensed. She also senses...other demons. And not jusy any types. It is demons...that are born in hell? That cannot be right. How would there be hellborn demons inside of this place? That should not even be possible. Not to mention...they feel like they too are already dead and are far away in another part of Purgatory.
Octavia, on the other hand, looked a little nervous at the humans, and kind of expected for them to attack. But...they did not. She can see that...they are just wandering, with a gloomy and lifeless expression on their faces, as Octavia spoke out.
"Dean, why are the...dead humans here not attacking?"
Dean looks at Octavia and spoke out to her.
"These guys are humans who simply...lost the will to live. They had seen so many bad stuff in life that they gave up trying to be free from thr suffering and pain that they went through. Because of this, they allowed themselves to be killed by someone else or by something else, which wounds them up into Purgatory. They are now lost souls that wander around and lament on the misery they had in life, not caring of where they are and having lost most awareness of where they are at.
Octavia looked a bit stunned at this, as she looks at the humans. Now that he mentioned it, the lost souls do look very gloomy and empty of life. She almost wonders if this is how she'll turn up of she lets misery overtake her mind. Dean shook his head, as he continues going. Dean then goes onto a path that connects to the rocky hill and walks upon it, as they are now in a grassy field...that has everything flipped upside down, and everyone is walking on it. Octavia looked startled and turned around, as she sees the landscape beginning to twist into a spiral and cringed at the sight that she sees before her eyes, and Astarte felt uneasy herself, as she spoke out.
"Woah, that's a little...wow."
Dean nodded his head, as he then responds at this.
"Yeah, and that is just small bit of the chaotic nature of Purgatory. But do not worry...it'll have its landscape return to normal after a bit, somewhat, although we'll still be upside down."
Octavia did not sound that reassured, as she spoke out.
"Wonder how we'll ever get back quickly."
Dean spoke out to her.
"If we're lucky, Purgatory will change enough that we'll get a quick path back."
Octavia still did not sound that reassured, but she kept silent as they continued on. And as they did...Octavia took notice of this strange area that is filled with extremely dense fog...and it is oddly beautiful for such a place, so much that she is entranced by it, as she spoke out.
"What is that place?"
Dean looks and his eyes widened in alarm, as he grabs Octavia's wrist and spoke out.
"Not there...not there."
Dean pulls Octavia and Astarte, sensing Dean's panic, does the same, as they pulled her away, and Dean spoke out.
"That part's the area I try to avoid when I tried teleporting inside of this. Don't go in there...it may seem beautiful on the surface, but this place is the worst shit you can go to, and the last one at that."
This made Octavia confused and spoke out to him.
"Why say that?"
Dean looks at Octavia with a grim look and simply spoke out.
"I looked at that place before, and I saw various lost souls go inside of this place. And when they did...they never come out, even those that are much more aware than most. Once you go inside...you'll never come back."
Octavia, hearing this, actually felt a little bit panicked, as she then stepped down and stopped with what she is doing. She then hugged Dean's arm, and nuzzles his face a bit, and Dean does the same, when a voice spoke out.
"An advise you best hold onto, Princess of the Goetia."
This made all 4 of them turn around, as they look to see a shadowy figure approach them, and Dean looks at the sight and sees him, and he turns to look at him, who then morphed his appearancs to that of a shadowy version of Dean's appearance, but now lookong gaunt and malnourished, almost like he's just skin and bones, as Dean spoke out.
"Oh, you've finally arrived."
The entity smiled at the group, as he spoke out.
"Hello, Dean. And I see you brought the Goetia you are close to into Purgatory instead of Loona this time. Astarte and Octavia, yes?
Octavia flinched and this and Astarte looked concerned, as Octavia spoke out.
"H-How the fuck do you know our names?"
The entity smiled, as he spoke out.
"I know the names of every soul that ever lived and ever died. I am already aware of you both even before your birth."
As he walked passed Octavia, he than took on a very...very creepy appearance, now resembling Stolas' true demon form, being on all 4s with feathers and being shadowy on form, yet the eyes are black and has a skull-like shape of some sort, as he looks down at Octavia, who is panicked at the sight. Astarte also looked panicked, as the appearance that the entity is using, it has Octavia's face, but with a more skull-like shape, like he is reflecting on what her full demon form would look like. And she also felt alarmed at his power, as it was unlike and far beyond anything she has ever sensed, before she spoke out.
"Wh...who are you? My...my father mentioned nothing about you when he went into Purgatory."
The entity looked at her and spoke out to him.
"Well, that is because he never met me, or rather, I chose to not meet him or the other sins."
The entity flies past Astarte, and later took on a form that is similar to Astarte, but the shirt and the cloth skirt is torn with a skull-shaped cleavage window, and the tails, hands, and head are covered in black mists with the head taking on a more demonic visage, with openings in the flames resembling skulls appear in the mist, not to memtion being very large in size, almost like the entity is trying to resemble Astarte's true demon appearance, as the entity responded.
"In fact...only Lucifer knows of me...if only because we knew of each other for a long time. I had no desire to see the other sins, as I try to keep myself hidden from them."
Astarte looked uneasy at him, as Dean spoke out to the entity.
"Well, anyway, I see you wanted to see me on something. Well, what was it you wanted?"
The entity looks down at Dean and walks up to him, as they then bend down and looks at him.
"Yes, of course. It is about that...object you got, bacn when you joined with Octavia to see Azathoth's Tears. Do you mind if I can look at that?"
Dean looks up and nodded his head, remembering that the entity said he woukd be getting something important, as he then took out the cross that he got, and the entiry gently took it, and almost looks like he is trying to avoid touching Dean for some reason, as they looked down at the cross and observes it. Dean looks at this and Loki floated beside him, and they both looked at each other, before turning back to see the entity, and after he was done, he spoke out.
"Yes...this is the real deal."
The entity turns and snapped his fingers, as he then teleports the object back to Dean, who grabs it and makes it vanish, as the entity spoke out to him.
"I suggest you keep this with you, Dean. For a powerful artifact as that is very important when it is in your possession."
Dean looked and nodded his head, as Octavia than hugs Dean by the arm, and spoke out.
"Dean...do you...mind if we can..."
Dean looks at Octavia, and saw that she is scared of the entity due to how...unusual he is, and Astarte teleported beside Dean and looks up at the entity, who than spoke out.
"Oh, but of course. I just wanted to see if the object that he has is the real one. So yes...you may go. I will see you again soon, Dean."
Dean looks at both Astarte and Octavia then pulled Dean and began to walk away, as Dean waved his hand and the entity does the same, as they all walked away. Loki looked beside Astarte and Octavia, as he spoke out to them.
"Yeah, that was kind of Dean's reaction whej he saw that guy the first time. So...you both are not the only ones, if it makes you feel any better."
Octavia and Astarte looks at Loki, and they did somewhat smile a bit. But as they did, Astarte looks, and he sees something odd. She noticed what seems to be imps present in this area. She shook her head, and looks again, and saw that they are gone. Maybe she was hallucinating, as her powers also might be going haywire inside of Purgatory? She does not know.
Back at Stolas' house, Dean, Astarte, and Octavia teleported back, the smoke chains are gone from the wrists, as Dean held the jars in his hands, before he puts them back inside of his backpack, and both Octavia and Astarte looked a bit creeped out by the experience, as Dean looks at Loki, who shrugged a little bit, and Dean pinched his nose.
"So uh...I'm guessing you don't wanna go back into Purgatory, huh?"
Octavia shook her head as she spoke out.
"Fuck no. That placw is just...too scary for me."
Astarte nodded her head, as she spoke out.
"Same with me. And that...that thing in there...he was terrifying, unlike anything that I have ever seen. I don't even know if I can ever sleep after seeing what he can do, and the fact that he can know us like that. Next time, just simply say no to us and we won't come."
Dean nodded his head, as he then smiled a bit, in whicn he took out what seems to be some dollar bills and spoke out.
"Hey, got an idea...how about we get some Ice Cream in the human world, eh? Would that meke you both feel better?"
Octavia and Astarte looked at Dean, and they actually smiled a little bit at Dean, as Octavia spoke out to Dean.
"I guess that would be nice to try this shit for the first time."
Astarte nodded her head, as she also responds to Dean.
"Same with me. Would be nice to try it."
Dean smiled a tiny bit, as he than spoke out.
"Well than, let's go."
Dean than made a portal to the human world, but both Octavia and Astarte pecked Dean on the cheeks, as Dean smiled a bit with a blush on his face, as he, Octavia, and Astarte go out into the human world for thw sweet treat. Guess Dean will have a bit of fun with the both of them.
