There was an audible pop as Dean twisted to meet the sudden ambush. He grunted but continued fighting. Moments later, the spent carcass crumbled like ash into the dirt, molten scales glimmering in the moonlight.

Dean's breath slowly calmed, his body relaxing. Finally, his eyes rose to meet Sam's and he reached out a hand for help.

"Let's go home."
