After the Accolade Castiel and Dean bade Arthur and Merlin farewell and set off to meet with Dean's father in Meirionnydd.
That was over a week ago and they are finally within half a day’s ride from the castle.
First though, a promise made the night of their betrothal needs fulfilling. Castiel has never seen the ocean, and Dean, his beloved, is taking him there.
(RP with my sweet lovey @surprise-sausage-party <3)
the full moon was still shining brightly, casting it´s light on the blood drenched, deformed beast that was still staring Ceban down.
it´s eyes were so..human..
they weren´t a piercing red, as one would assume, they were icy blue and full of emotion. they weren´t the beady eyes of a predator watching it´s prey, no not at all, the look it was giving the poor human gave away just how sorry it felt for him.
now, the monster came to his rescue at just the right moment. Ceb was mostly unharmed, safe for his wrists and ankles, which were sore from the rope those two used to tie him up with and the fact that the poor brunette´s struggles drained all energy from him.
the creature held out a clawed hand, gently taking Ceb´s left hand. it observed the reddened skin, noticing a few light cuts.
it´s ears twitched as it voiced it´s agitation with a low growl. irritation towards how the kind human was treated, of course.
then, without further hesitation, the beast opened it´s mouth and licked across Ceb´s wrist with it´s large tongue, presumably wanting to treat the wounds.
Description: Wanting to be with someone you can’t have is one thing. Wanting to be with someone that doesn’t exist is another. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t make up your mind about them even be that crazy to actually find a way to meet them.
A/N: Inspired by a book I currently read that’s based of the similar story line, but without the traveling in time part.
Fairytales are stories that are made to make the unreal real. The possibilities are countless, which gives the reader the freedom to let their imagination flow.
Many say that, they are just made for children, to let them believe that magic is around us. That something like that really exists, even though they don't fully believe in it. Others seem to be immersed by it the same way. Thats why there are modern stories with magic and past lifes.
Living in New York isn’t really the best place to get away from it. There are hundreds of book stores that let you explore your need for something different. Something that's out of this world.
Deciding to move there wasn’t really hard. It was more like a new begining to what seemed like nothing. You had this feeling that you should keep finding treasures in books, that were hidden. Every book has its own treasure. Sometimes this treasure is hard to find, because it needs the searchers full attention, to really dig into the story. To get into character and try to explore it.
It was February the 13th. Yet another time were you thought that life couldn’t get worse. The day before Valentine’s day was like shooting an arrow through your chest, to people like you who don’t have someone to enjoy the day with.
On this day you just like to spend time at home, infront of the fireplace with a warm cup of tea and a good medival romance. Yes, thats really how you spent that day, every year. You guess you were just too cought up in your stories, to actually go out and meet people.
You would rather stay in your apartment searching for good books on your laptop, than to actually do something else. And when you did go out, anyone could most probably find you in the nearest bookstore, buying like 15 books that are all based around romance or past lifes.
Would you ever stop reading? Well you see, if you ever came to the point in your life where you had to choose between love and reading. You would, without doubt, choose love over books. But right now, you're not interested in real life or anything that has to do with reality.
All you want to do is live your imagination in the stories. By now, you've read so many books, met so many characters that you could easily write a whole story of its own about it.
It was 7:30 AM on a cloudy morning in Manhattan, Februaty the 14th.
The birds were letting everyone know that it was time to get on your feet and start the day off right. You were still sleeping in your bed, covered up in blankets, dreaming about your meeting with your all time favorite hero, Kim Taehyung.
Taehyung the III. was the knight, of the Domitry Kingdom, who served The Lord Min Yoongi, from the great Min dinasty. You found out about him after reading your latest medival book, and you were obsessed with him. You just couldn’t stop thinking about his great personality and behaviour. It wasn’t enough for you to just read about him, you wanted to meet him.
Of course, that was impossible. He wasn’t even a real person, which you wouldn’t want to believe. You searched everywhere, in every bookstore, on every website, in every place you thought you could find something more about him. And you did find out that he died in the last battle of Gardon 650 years ago. That fact made you sad, you didn’t want to believe it. Why would someone perfect like him give his life, just to obey the king?
Is there a way to save him? Keep him away from going to that battle? And in the end, giving up your life for him? No, there isn't. Unless you could travel trough time and change it.
You know, that actually doesn’t sound like a bad idea, considering that todays world was full of awfull things and people. You could change whatever you want. You just need to find the right person, that has knowladge, as much as crazyness to accept that.
After your morning routine, that was done in 10 minutes, you made your way out of your apartmant to go on a journey to find an important person.
If you manage to find that someone, that’s so important to you right now, it would be the best Valentine’s day ever. That person could help you reach your goal of knowing the truth, behind the unknown.
You came infront of a suspicious shop that seemed like it could have some hints of where to go next. It selled weird, yet interesting little things that you couldn’t find anywhere else.
You went inside. There was working an old lady, dressed in an old gown that didn’t suit the century. She didn’t even try to look at you in the first place. She was just sitting behind the counter, reading a big book. It looked like it had 10.000 pages and maybe it was about the old days that you're researching about.
“Excuse me?” You were leaning over the counter to get her attention and partly wanting to know what book she was reading.
“Yes? How can I help you?” She stood up, leaving the book on the chair behind, taking a closer look at you.
“I hope you can. Do you maybe know wher-”
“You don’t need to tell me.” She cut you off, looking you deep in the eyes. “Poor thing. How could you suffer so much?”
You were confused. Did she just tell you that you suffer? From what? How can she tell you something like that? She never met you before. “W- what do you mean?”
“Look at you, all lost, without hope. You need to find it. Now. Don’t let it rest at this.”
Okay? Now you think that she is an old creepy lady, obviously. Who else wears that outfit in this world. This are not the 1570. This is the 21st century. “What do I need to find?” You got all confused, still not quiet understanding what she was pointing at.
She looked at you for a second, worried. “Your love, of course.”
WHAT? Did she just say, your, love?
This can’t be true. Is she seeing what you think she is. She saw through you, just by looking you in the eyes.
Is it so clear that you're desperate? So lost in this world, helpless. That you don’t have anyone to share your feeling with. Your sadnees, your happiness, your life. But it’s not your fault, the world isn’t a place for you. I mean it was, if you were in the past. Then you would be in your element.
„W- where can I find him?“ You wanted to know it so desperately. You wanted to know how you were able to not find it on your own. Were you to caught up in the world around you, that you didn't notice the one even if he walked past you?
„It's too late for that.“ This lady really knew how to make the situation even worse. You hoped that she would tell you that the 'time is going to show everything' or something like that, like the usual stuff that people like her would say. Her answerd made you just frustrated and sad.
„But...“ In this moment, you knew that you still had the chance to make it happen. To make it possible to meet him for real. You were putting all my hopes in the thing that she was going to say now. Please let it be something you want. Please.
„There is a way, if you really want to meet him.“ Your whole face light up. You couldn't believe that there is a way to your happiness. Finally, the world is gonna grant your wish. Oh, your long awaited wish.
„Really?!“ You quickly put a smile on your face and leaned closer to her. „Can you tell me how?“
The old lady took a deep breath before speaking. „You can get hipnotized and be put in your past life. There is going to be a path that you will need to reconize yourself. And also you will need to make decisions that effect both sides eaqully. But it's not without a risk included. You must be aware of that.“
„A risk? What risk?“ You need to say that you badly wanted to meet your love, but the thought of possible risk gave you a feeling of fear. Fear that you might make the wrong decisions and destroy any of your chances to succeed.
The old lady looked you in the eyes. „The risk is too big to consider it doing.“ She tore her gaze away from you.
„Please, tell me. I need to know.“ You looked at her with broken eyes. You never wanted something so much more in your life than this. What could be that bad that even she cares about it.
„It has a high chance of traping you inside its own world.“ She paused for a second before continueing. „The chance of coming back is 10% at max.“
Suddenly you questioned the idea. Were you really ready to leave your life behind for another? Were you ready to leave your sad life and get the one you always wanted? What did you even want was the real question. Did you know that?
„But...“ The old lady started again, moving you away from your thoughts. „If you really want to go there. I will help you.“
You looked confused at her. „Y-you want to help me?“
„From the look of your eyes I can see that you suffered a lot in your life. Never had a strong hand by your side to help you get up when you fall down. I can see the sadness that you experiance everyday because you are lonely. I can see the need for someone to be by your side.“ She looked you deep in the eyes. „I don't do this normaly, but, I think you deserve to be happy and I want you to be happy, with my help. I can't see you hurt like that. I breaks my heart.“
At her words, you almost let a tear escape. Your eyes were watery, your heart was melting, your soul thought that it had hope to be healed. Your mind was focusing just on one thing. You wanted to finally go to the past life. Now.
„Okay.“ You simply answerd. „Let's do this.“
„Are you sure?“ The old lady looked concerned.
„As sure as I never was before in my whole life.“ You felt the will power in my voice. The power to make it through.
„As you wish.“ She nodded. „The ritual will be performed in the early morning. In the meantime, you shall rest. You will need a lot of enegry to perform the ritual succesfully.“ With that it was all settled.
