THE ROAD SO FAR...
CASTIEL is the new god. He has personally taken it upon himself to destroy all of the nonbelievers. He has become corrupt with power, due to the poor souls of purgatory. The angels have willingly and practically, without a choice, turned power over to Cas, in fear that he will dispose of them just as he had almost effortlessly put an end to Raphael.
While retreiving the souls, you could say that Castiel had been a bit lazy, and hadn't realized what he had released while opening purgatory. A century's old demon, named OCTAVIUS, who has more power than anything Sam and Dean have ever faced. He had been locked in purgatory y the archangel Michael several centuries ago, and since he has gotten out he has been wreaking havoc all over the United States, destroying anything and everything that stands in his way. Why is he doing these things? Mostly just because he can, because it's been a while since he's been out purgatory. He'd also just love to find the being that let him out to thank him.
In doing so, Octavius was a proud follower of his "father", Lucifer, and was highly regarded by him. Upon hearing that Lucifer had been thrown in the pit along with the Archangel that had imprisoned him, his true goal is the release Lucifer so that they can reign over Earth together, and to release Michael in order to destroy the very thing that had locked him away for so long.
SAM and DEAN don't know that this has happened. They are both too confused at the loss of whom they considered family, though they try to carry on with their lives. Dean is the most hurt; he was the closest out of the two to Castiel, and to see him spiral like that killed him on the inside. They are sure that there will be a confrontation between them, but they are unsure of when this will occur. A century's old demon is the least of their problems at the moment.
CROWLEY is biding his time. He's been in hiding since the fiasco with Castiel and Raphael, though he isn't being completely quiet. He does cause a few storms here and there, though he feels it is too risky to come out in the open at risk of running into Castiel. After all, that angel bastard didn't share the souls with him, but now that he is all powerful, there is nothing that Crowley can do about it. All he can do is wait for the perfect time to show himself and claim what was rightfully his.
Other HUNTERS are beginning to notice the strange disappearances and unworldly storms caused by Octavius. They are beginning to band together, or at least, the ones who aren't arrogant enough to take him on themselves, in hopes to work together in order to bring down the century's old demon. Even though it seems like there is never truly a period of peace in this world.
