Castiel flew back to the village using his Levitation ability. As he descended slowly upon his arrival, he noticed an unusual silence enveloping the village. His curiosity was piqued as he wondered what might have caused this.
"Kit? Where are you all? I'm here," he called out to his friends, but there was no response. A sense of worry began to creep in, only to be interrupted by the sudden appearance of a group wearing black hoods, identical to those of the faction he had previously defeated.
"You never learn," he murmured to himself, a smile forming on his lips.
The hooded figures approached him cautiously, encircling him. Castiel released a powerful aura, forcing the group to step back in hesitation.
"Eliminate him now. We cannot afford to fail again," commanded one of them, whose authoritative stance suggested he was the leader.
