Dean had taken Sam and bolted, leaving Kyiah in the arms of their beloved angel. Tired of watching her suffer, Castiel decided it was time to put his plan into action. And bring upon the destiny, of his darling Princess.

Kyiah wanders down a curved wood walkway, hovering in the middle of a beautiful lake. Centered between the view of natural mountains and woodland greenery. Taking in the winter's crisp native breeze. Admiring the timid tangerine sunset breaching through grey clouds to reflect over the natural green pool.

"This is where you go? Your safe place?" Kyiah turns to see Castiel behind her, roaming the total serenity of her subconscious as he crosses the stable passage. Taking in the wondrous sight of lush evergreens, and bountiful weeping maple trees under the peaking summit. "It's very beautiful." He compliments, treading lightly towards her. "Dean's is very similar." He educates with empathy. "His focal point is also water." Kyiah looks back out over the lake as Cas meets her shoulder.

"That's nice." She notes emotionlessly, receiving displaced comfort in the idea of Dean having a quiet escape. Her thin line choker necklace brings the angel's eyes to her darkling plug gauges and daith piercing. Roving the vacancy in her slender featured complexion. Setting his sight into the trees, sharing in a brief moment of silence.

"He only wishes to protect you." The angel carefully informs.

"So he says." Kai repeats her listless pitch, earning his ethereal attention.

"He is doing what he thinks is right." She shuts her eyes in discontent. "Dean is a very isolated man. And the feelings he has for you are very, intense." He hints to the fact her powers do have an explicit hand in his obsessive desire. Intentional, or not. "You know that." She remains unspoken. "He has come face to face with so much loss. He lives in fear, fear that he is going to lose everyone around him, because he is not enough." He pauses a bit. "Just like you." Kyiah dips her head in remorse.

"Right." She tells herself. Engaging in a quiet moment. "But is it me, he loves? Or the magick." Castiel could feel her sorrow through his every cell.

"It's you, Tsia." He verifies. "It has always, been you." Kai slowly lifts and turns her head. "I know, you love him." Cas's diamond blue eyes bolden in the glassy environment. "But it is time to let him go." He cautiously states. "There's something you need to see." He places his fingers to her head, his white light engulfing her. And as he removes his hand, her vision resettles.

She was home. In The Underworld. Once again braced by the drip of sickly stalactites and raunchy lilac fog. Standing on a towering cliff, staring down at her desolate domaine. The sight of damaged homes and crumbled city streets burn her eyes into watering. Her gaze, finally falling on her castle. Its magnificent colossal build, an empty shell. The hollow royal windows cracked and shattered, leaving gaping shards of glass all around beneath its excessive height. The grand limestone of its design had disintegrated over the years of Lord Ocula's dictative ruling. He had brutally abolished her entire thriving metropolis.

"Don't you see.." Kyiah turns around to Cas, the divinity in her face twisted through a tough look. "Your empire needs you."

"No.." She whispers.

"Tsia-"

"I can't go back." She decrees, taking a step in his direction. "I swore-"

"I know, of the vows you took." She takes in a deep breath, chin quivering in blatant shame. "But this is far bigger than promises." Castiel persuades, gravely tipping his face. "Your kingdom is falling."

"My kingdom has already fallen." She snaps with repulsion. There was a heavy beat. "How can I face my people after what happened?" She exhales through personal anguish.

"You were attacked-"

"And I let them down!" Kyiah storms over with a flustered breath. "I left them, to DIE!"

"You can not blame yourself." Her guardian argues.

"I RAN AWAY, CAS!" She raises her voice. "I left them to suffer at the hands of Ocula!"

"To preserve your omnipotent power." He scolds, taking her aback. Earning a pitiful scowl from his hard headed child. "It was out of your control. There was nothing you could have done." He lovingly confides, watching her turn and walk back to the crest of the ledge. Fighting off the devastated tears pushing through her eyes. A frightening sensation covers her in goosebumps, her hands wrapping up around her arms. Castiel surveys the repressed regret in her defensive body, flattening his lips as he nears. Landing passively just off her shoulder, observing as she listens to the faint screeching of her lamented subjects below. "You know what will happen if Ocula finds the stone. He will unleash damnation and total destruction unto earth." Cas pushes. "You are the only one who can stop him." His angelic intentions find its way to her genetic call for honor. For justice. Revenge. To set back all her wrongs to rights, and take rule of her kingdom once more. And without Dean to keep her on earth. What was the point of staying away...Tsia regally raises her chin to her crippling citizens. Embracing the spirit of her father flooding through her. She rotates over her squared shoulders, giving her empowered eyes to her greatest supporter.

"Okay." Tsia agrees. "Let's go save the world."
