Chapter 12: THE PORTAL TO THE ANGEL REALM (2)
His admission took the wind out of her fury for a moment, and she stared at him, searching his face for any insincerity, but found none.
"I know you do not believe me," he continued. "I do not expect you to forgive me. However, I came here to give you something." His actions were elegant, as they always were, as he reached into his robes, into the pockets that were on the inside, and withdrew a small satchel. He handed her that satchel.
She accepted it, though incredulous.
"Open it."
She reached inside it and withdrew a small, intricately carved box. It was made of polished silver wood and adorned with angelic runes. She could feel the faint angelic power emanating from the runes and immediately knew that they were made by her brother. She clutched it tighter in her hands.
"What is this?" She looked up at him.
"It is a safeguard," Castiel explained slowly, "inside the box is a talisman." His words caused her to open it. "The talisman is made of angel silver," he explained.
Indeed, upon opening the box, a flush of angelic power slapped her in the face, so much so that she immediately closed the box. At her side, Echo whimpered.
"If you ever find yourself in a situation where you cannot escape, a situation where you need me to come to your side to assist you, infuse it with your angelic power, and it will break and I will be called to you. No matter where you are, no matter what binds you, I will come to your side."
