Rekindled

Sulfur filled the air of a barren wasteland, areas still burning with fresh fire on charcoaled ground while the sound of screams radiated through the scorched atmosphere. A beam of light appeared on the ground spreading outwards like a ripple in a pound with a green hue to it as the center rose slowly taking no form at first then slowly gaining shape as light flowed from the figure like water spilling over someone’s body. The figure was kneeling on one leg with her fingertips touching the ground, head bowed as two huge wings took shape fluently spreading from the ground up to spread to full length behind her back before tucking close. The young woman opened two glowing red eyes before standing with a graceful long flowing dress developing with elegant features of gold accents swirling along a deep forest green velvet to match mint green hair. Slowly Ariel the archangel of nature looked around the scorched landscape that used to be a glorious art form causing deep distress to form on her face followed by extreme sorrow then the young archangel’s eyes fell upon the battle scene before her. Five men lay dead on the barren ground two were Sam and Dean Winchester, one was Bobby singer, one was Castiel and the last was Adam Milligan but in addition to the men there were two dead archangel’s too…princes of heaven…Lucifer and Michael. Tears of pain fell down Ariel’s cheeks as these were her friends, her family…no it could not end like this!

Carry on my wayward son, there’ll be peace when you are done.

Lay you’re weary head to rest…don’t you cry no more.

Ariel started walking slowly over to the battle scene with tears falling to the earth instantly causing the ground to heal with green grass sprouting instantly.

Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man.

Though mind could think, I still was a mad man.

I hear the voices when I’m dreaming…I can hear them say…

Ariel continued to sing while kneeling down beside the Winchester’s bodies to grace her finger tips over their foreheads then down their chests. A soft glow illuminated the boys while pushing out Lucifer’s grace into a body of his own.

Carry on my wayward son, there’ll be peace when you are done.

Lay you’re weary head to rest, don’t you cry no more.

Sam came too first to see the gorgeous angel walking over to the others lifeless bodies wings dragging over Cas’ and Bobby’s first instantly granting them life again before moving to Adam. With a gesture of Ariel’s hand Michael was remove into a body of his own like Lucifer while granting life to them simultaneously.

Once I rose above the noise and confusion, just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion.

I was soring ever higher…but I flew too high.

Masquerading as a man with a reason…my charade is the event of the season…and if I claim
to be a wise man…it surely means I don’t know.

Once all of the group arose they watched with aw as Ariel closed her eyes, spread her wings then clasped her hands together while rising off the ground.

Carry on my wayward son, there’ll be peace when you are done.

Lay you’re weary head to rest…don’t you cry no more.    

Waves of energy flowed from Ariel outwards over the dead land causing grass, flowers, trees, life to spring up all over the land but not just where they were, the waves reached all over the world.

On stormy seas of moving emotion.

Tossed about, I’m like a ship on the ocean.

I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say…

All over the planet life was being restored including the human lives lost during the archangel’s fight. As life returned however Ariel’s wings began to wither, feathers falling to the ground as flesh fell from the bones leaving them bare on her back with clear pained expressions on the young archangel’s face.

Carry on my wayward son, there’ll be peace when you are done.

Lay you’re weary head to rest…don’t you cry no more.

Ariel sang loudly the last few lyrics then fell to the ground with a shriek that caused the entire group to run to her side. Lucifer reached for the young woman to cradle her in his arms with Michael kneeling down beside him both with sorrow filled looks as her hair turned grey and only bones remained of her once gorgeous wings. Weakly Ariel reached up to caress Lucifer’s cheek with a weary smile on her features.

“Paradise…will always come…at a price,” Ariel whispered

“That it does,” Lucifer agreed as a tear fell down his cheek to hers

They had paradise but the cost had been far more than expected however in the end it also resulted in Michael and Lucifer resolving their problems with each other, vowing to protect this new paradise…together.

Don't you cry no more!
