::Sing The Anthem Of The Angels~::

Description

IT'S DONE. IT'S DONE. IT'S TAKEN ME LIKE TEN HOURS IN ARTRAGE 2 AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING BUT IT'S FINALLY DONE.

Okay, so this idea has been bugging me for like a week. I took the title from the song that inspired me, Anthem Of The Angels by Breaking Benjamin. I was listening to it and it made me think of Cas, and everyone that he's lost for one reason or another. By his own hand, they sacrificed themself for him, and any other means I may have failed to mention. And... when you think about it, it's a really long list. And just... I wanted to think that someone is looking out for him. I really want to think that they're there. So... what if a tiny bit of grace remained of each of the angels? Just a tiny bit, enough to form a ghost, so to speak. Not so much that Cas would be aware of it, quite possibly that not even the "ghosts" would be aware of each other. But enough so that they'd be there, watching over Cas.

So, I chose to have Anna, Balthazar, Samandriel and Gadreel watch over him. For those of you who've either not caught up yet or aren't watching but this has still wound up in your inbox, I'll explain  who's who. Anna, obvs, is the female on the bottom left corner. Balthazar is perched just above her with a tumblr of whisky ((some things never change...)), above him is Gadreel, who's hand is rather close to his ear. Meaning on the right, with the cap and striped shirt, is Samandriel.

I could go on forever, but I won't. All I can say is I hope you can tell why it took me so long. And yes, I'll request critiques.

***
White walls surround us
No light will touch your face again
Rain taps the window
As we sleep among the dead

Days go on forever
But I have not left your side
We can chase the dark together
If you go then so will I

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye

Cold light above us
Hope fills the heart
And fades away
Skin white as winter
As the sky returns to grey

Days go on forever
But I have not left your side
We can chase the dark together
If you go then so will I

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
I keep holding onto you
But I can't bring you back to life
Sing the anthem of the angels
Then say the last goodbye

You're dead alive
You're dead alive
You're dead alive
You're dead alive

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
I keep holding onto you
But I can't bring you back to life
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
Sing the anthem of the angels

Dammit Kat, this is outstanding. You have ripped my heart in two in the most beautiful of ways. Your shading and attention to detail is the best I have ever seen from you, and those damn trees are seriously amazing as Hell. I adore the way you've drawn the angels, with the blue, and the way you're done their wings almost bat-like and skeletal in contrast to Castiel's, which although they are feathered and full, are grey. (Representing sadness? Or is that just the Lit student in my coming out?) I adore Cas' expression, as well as everyone else's. I am crying. Also, Balthazar drinking is hilarious. Begs the question though- where do angels go when they die?
