Playing the oldest game

by Astraea Blackwood

The Winchesters have seen and faced it all... or so they thought. The apocalypse, Lucifer, Eve, the Leviathans and even Amara are all nothing compared to the new threat who has rolled into town. The Winchesters get caught in the middle of a conflict between him and his younger sister as she attempts to protect all of creation from a being older than even death...

In the beginning there was nothing but a void. There was no light or darkness, no order or chaos and certainly no creation. There was simply nothing. But that soon changed. Out of the void four beings were born. First came Order and then Chaos. For a while it was just the two of them and then came their two younger sister, the twins,Creation and Destruction. The four of them resided in the void living as a family but soon realised that something was missing. In an attempt to fill this gap they combined their powers to forge a world that was filled with creatures similar to themselves. There was life and death and there was light and darkness but still something was missing. You see their creation was unstable- unbalanced. A single act could tip the scales and all they had made would cease to exist. They could not fix this [...] themselves and spent much time worrying about it. Their solution, however, came in a very unexpected form. A new being came into existence from the void. One who balanced all of creation. She ensured that all was equal, those who lived eventually died, the light and the darkness were given day and night. She was the missing piece, she was the Balance.
