Dean's mind was foggy and sluggish. For what felt like forever, Dean felt nothing but empty as he drifted within a dreamless land. The taxing effort of the girls yanking out the ring from him left him feeling broken and weak.
After floating along forever within that darkness, Dean noticed a light in the distance. While it was soft and faint, it stood out like the sun within his dark world. Even though Dean didn't know how, he knew he had to move towards it. As such, with just the intent, his body started drifting towards the unknown yet warm glow.
But even that seems to take eons.
Just when Dean thought that he would never get there, he arrived, only to find that the glow was coming from a strange ring that rotated in the sky of this dark land. Putting his feet towards what he felt was downward, Dean seemed to touch the hard ground as his eyes adjusted and things came into focus.
