In These Waters, Part XI
The Ladies of the In-Between were the deciders of Fate. They were given a time and day for each person’s largest decisions. They were charged with making sure each large decision was completed.
As Castiel stepped into the circle that was still pulsing with energy, they knew his time had come. They rushed upward and pulled him down into their realm ( Read more... ) -

This is the end
Dean, at first, did not want to mention to Castiel that he and Samandriel had stumbled upon an alternate ritual. It was one that Somerled had also thought would be most useful.

There was a knock at the door as Samandriel resumed his seat by the window.
“You may come in,” he shouted across the room. When the door opened, he was surprised to find that Castiel entered.
“If I may, Samandriel, I wish to have a word with you.”

Gabriel went with Dean to Crarae. It was only right, he said, that he should be the one to go.
When they arrived, they were surprised to find the castle and its yards empty, save for the King, who sat at a throne in the yard as though he had waited an eternity for this moment. He was dressed in a golden suit of armor, which struck Dean as odd. The ( Read more... ) -

(Allah) said: "Respite then is granted thee Till the Day of the Time Appointed."
(Iblis) said: "Then, by Thy power, I will put them all in the wrong, Except Thy Servants amongst them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)."

IV. They’re just the same as us
When Jerahmeel’s wife gave birth to their son, she had cradled the newborn in her arms and whispered gentle words to him. She named him Dean, a name she said sounded sweeter than any other.
Jerahmeel had scoffed at her. "His name will be Euanthe. It is a strong name. None will question his willpower."

Dean came to with a start. He bolted up in the bed and found himself gasping for air. He spied Castiel sleeping in the armchair in the corner of the room. He took several slow gulps of air and steadied himself before standing up.
