Rian Mikaelson [Sequel to "The Youngest Gilbert"]

Chapter 21 Holy Is Overrated

"Hey Cas, you okay there?" asked Theo, watching his new, weird angel-friend make weird noises from the bathroom. 

"How do you use this?" asked Castiel walking out of the bathroom, naked as the day his vessel was born, holding up a shampoo bottle. Theo smiled at him patiently, and brought him back into the bathroom, washing his hair.

"This is nice," remarked Castiel, who was sitting on a small stool, humming as Theo worked his magic with his fingers.

"A lot of things about being human can be enjoyable," told him, Theo. "How are you feeling? I mean... Will your... subordinates try to find you to... punish you?"

"Most likely," agreed Castiel, not worried about his health. 

"Then we need to hide us. So they can't find you," told him, Theo, thinking about his friends. Were they okay? He certainly hoped so. "You're human now. So I'll protect you."

"Why are you doing this?" asked Castiel, completely baffled, yet his heart was doing a happy dance, with a fuzzy feeling of content blooming in his stomach. 

"Just because I'm no longer human, doesn't mean I don't know what it means to be kind," retorted Theo. "Is there a way to locate my friends? I mean do you know any angelic spells that can be performed to look for them? If we find them Rian will be able to protect us."

"There is one," spoke Castiel hesitantly. "It requires the heart of a wendigo and a thing of someone who you're trying to locate."

"Then I'll find us Wendigo. With my nose, it'll be a walk in the park," grinned Theo, drying Castiel with a towel, who just obediently sat there, unmoving. "As for the belonging..." Theo held up his hand, holding a tiny ring Rian gave him back in the Salvatore School. It was his sun&moon ring. It absorbed the celestial powers and gave him control over his abilities and bloodlust.

"So you mentioned this Metatron guy... who is he?" asked Theo curiously.

"He's a scribe of God. He wrote God's words on the tablets. These tablets contain immense power and knowledge in the hands of someone who can decipher them. Metatron needs a prophet in order to do that. So he's looking for one. Once he finds him, no one will be able to stop him."

"How dangerous are we talking about?" asked Theo, with trepidation.

"He could rewrite the whole reality and make himself a new God," gravely informed him Castiel, getting a gasp from Theo.

"Then we need to stop him immediately. We need to find Rian," Theo stood up and using his speed rushed out of the house.
