( Well over a week after the survivors are pulled from the pit, after the hospital in Nocwich closes, after things begin to return to normal, a body washes up on the shores of the Aquila coast. It lies limp in the sand for hours, lifeless, until a sea bird gets curious enough to investigate. Shortly after its sharp beak begins to prod at flesh, the body moves.
With a cough, a choke, a splutter, salt water is forced out of his lungs. Not that he needs to breathe anymore, exactly.
One limb at a time, he rises. Tattered, water-logged, but utterly healed, Dean Winchester walks to the city of Aquila. He's there for nearly another week recovering, thinking, strategizing.
Also, drinking, fucking, and fighting.
Eventually, curiosity and the compulsion for chaos have him returning to the Horizon for the first time since he's been back. He does not go to the Roadhouse. He does not go to Kaer Morhen, or to any of the other places he might be welcome. As a matter of fact, the more recognizable a domain is to somebody he knows well, the more likely he is to avoid it.
Instead, he wanders through new places. New temples, new landscapes.
It's there you're likely to find him, visiting unannounced and without permission, exploring the outskirts, or wandering carefully deeper if he thinks he can get away with it. He won't apologize if he's caught. Instead, he'll just smirk, and nod. )
Nice place ya got here.
( If it seems like he isn't completely unwelcome โ or if it seems like he is, but it could be interesting โ he'll likely be a repeat visit that surfaces up again later in the week. )
