Chapter 155: You'll know when it's time

"Little kiddo, when will you grow up?" Castiel patted Lilith's head gently. "Why do you cry?"

"You are back..." Lilith's muffled voice came as she buried her face in Castiel's chest. 

"Should I not be back?" Castiel chuckled. "Anyway, I missed you too, little one. But no, I'm not back."

"This is only temporary. I came back to take care of a few things. It's almost time for me to leave." 

"Please don't go..." 

"So you do not want Atlas to be back?" Castiel inquired, seemingly amused. "I thought you would want him back."

"I want him back. He is a good person who deserves to live. But I also don't want you to leave."

"Don't worry. Only a month... After a month, I'll be back. Until then, you must help Atlas... Help him get all the Key Fragments and to open the place..."

"Help him open that place...? Why?"
