Sam knew he shouldn’t be here that it was forbidden for him to travel into the mortal realm but he couldn’t stay away.
Not from him.
Hidden in the tree Sam parted a couple of leaves as a soft smile appeared on his face as he watched the mortal known as Castiel.
All around Castiel were human younglings listening in awe as the man weaved a tale of a brave prince, his loyal knight and the dragon they befriended as they battled evil after evil saving the innocent no matter what the cost to them personally.
That is what had drawn Sam to Castiel the great story teller, he had always been interested in humans even though it set him apart from the rest of his kind well all but his brother Dean. But Sam didn’t care he knew that humans were not perfect and long ago sought to destroy all those of magic but surely they have changed.
“Mr Castiel?” One of the young girl’s asked raising her hand.
A soft smile appeared on Castiel’s face one that made Sam’s heart flutter. “Yes, Jo?”
“Do you believe in magic and creatures from your story?” Jo asked interest in her eyes and in her voice.
Castiel’s smile turned a little sad as he glanced at the tree that had Sam hidden in and Sam ducked down a little more afraid that he had been seen.
“I do believe in magic and creatures such as fairies, dragons, mermaids and so on. All myths and legends have some truth to them. I am afraid that long ago humans feared what was different and drove them away.” Castiel explained to his group.
The other small blond Ruby let out a huff, “Well that was stupid of them. Do you think that they will ever come back?”
“I do.” Castiel said with such certainly that Sam felt his heart beat all the faster. “We just have to show them that we have changed and would happily welcome them.” Castiel’s voice rose a little bit as he said his next part, “Who knows there might be one right here now say a fairy who loves to come to our story time and listen in to the stories. And maybe someday they will show themselves to us and tell us their own tales letting us get to know them and them to know us.”
Sam felt his wings flutter yes he would like that and held onto the hope of someday close to his heart.
