The Darkness

The Darkness before the Light (Art by T. Jefferys)

**The Darkness**, also known as **The Witch of Nothingness**, the **Nothingness**, **Mother Night**, and the **Great Darkness**, is the Pre-Existential Primordial Deity that personifies the primordial darkness that existed before the event "let there be light", being older and more ancient than God Himself.

The Darkness is also one of the three main primeval incarnations of the Boundless Void, alongside Khaos and Ayin. The Darkness is also the "mother" of the Beasts of Revelation, Trihexa and Divus, having created them from the shards of Therion.

In the year 2017, The Darkness returned and attacked Earth, forcing God to interfere for the first time in years again in Creation, starting an almost second Primeval War. In the end, God and The Darkness managed to make peace and prevent the destruction of the multiverse. The Darkness and her Brother left Earth after that.

The Darkness after making peace with God, she decided that she no longer wanted to be separated from him, in the literal sense. The Darkness told God that now that the two were at peace, light and darkness had to enter a state of eternal harmony, that is, the Witch of Nothingness wanted to merge with God, and so it was. The Darkness now dwells within her younger brother.

## Overview

She is perhaps one of the most powerful beings to ever exist in the world, outclassing her fellow Primordial Powers, with the only exception to her might possibly being God, Khaos, Ayin, and Azathoth.

Due to her imprisonment, The Darkness had no knowledge or understanding of how God's universe worked. However, after feeding on various souls and studying important points in human history, she finally came to the conclusion that her brother had "messed up" when she made the world, saying that Heaven, Hell, good, evil, and even people seemed unimportant. When she was first released, she intended to remake the world as she saw fit: a world where nobody had to suffer, and instead lived blissfully for eternity. However, she also wanted to destroy everything that her brother had created to make him suffer.

Whilst the True Archangels knew of her existence, she is so ancient and mysterious that even most demons and angels, except for Sandalphon, didn't believe she existed or was locked away. However, Sandalphon knew about her and who she was, as he was God's scribe. Both Heaven and Hell thought it to be a "myth" or "scary bedtime story", told to keep others in line.

The Darkness is disconnected from all things in reality, she is a vastness of night, with no light. The Darkness also has the form of existence that is beyond any level of the "event" concept. Nevertheless, she was what made Creation possible and with her partner, made the function of reality come to life.

## Appearance

As a primordial figure, the Darkness is truly a formless entity though she is one of the beings to usually take a humanoid form. No matter what, her true form has never been revealed, for her true visage is basically indescribable. Her skin and clothes are dark in shade and seems to contain the night sky.

In an more human form, she appears as that of an older woman with long pitch-black hair, contrasting her purple eyes. She usually appears wearing dark clothes which gives her a more gothic style. This form is described as beautiful, although its presence is always frightening. When she lifts her aura, her eyes turn crimson red.

## Personality

The Darkness is described by Death and Ginnungagap as a chaotic entity, existing as an amoral and terrifying force that poses a great threat to Creation, including the almighty primordial gods. This seemed to be true when she escaped from her prison, as she manifested as a gigantic cloud of darkness that tried to destroy everything in front of her.

However, after she became a human, The Darkness began to show some feelings such as anger and hatred, in addition to clearly having a desire for revenge, wanting to dethrone God and His creation, showing a distorted and even evil personality. She didn't mind violently murdering various Christians and other religious groups trying to get her younger brother's attention, something that was a problem even for other pantheons, as she was also destroying other religions that were linked even indirectly with the Abrahamic pantheon, like the Hindu, where Brahma is an aspect of God.

She originally was just as destructive as her sister Ayin, but after she "grew up" she was finally able to admit she was wrong and became less violent. However she still thinks that God is the same petulant, narcissistic being he always was yet still respect her younger brother's power and authority and love Him, more so than her elder sister Ayin, while she has changed and adapted into the "better her". The main difference between her and her sister is that that unlike Ayin who want to destroy everything due to her nature, Darkness only wanted God's attention to focus on her instead of his Creation. She was later able to make peace with her brother, abandon her revenge and start enjoying her new life.

The Darkness is a wise and intelligent woman who can be playful at times but behaves according to the situation. She cares deeply for Khaos, one of the beings to care about her in the beginning, worried about his welfare. Khaos himself, despite his otherwise cold nature, seems to be fine with Darkness presence as both of them are personification of the Void She is also a determined and stubborn person, forcing herself through all her mental obstacles and not listening anyone. She also has a hobby of discovering and learning things that gained her interest.

## Powers and Abilities

The Darkness is shown to be one of the most powerful entities in existence. In several instances, God stated that even with all Arcuthas fighting against her the first time, while he gradually boost in power to prepare against Khaos and Azathoth, victory was barely achieved. Even Death, a primordial being similarly old as her brother and close to him in strength, showed to be very wary of her despite being one of the few beings capable rivaling her older and stronger sister Ayin. The Darkness was powerful enough for her mere release to damage Lucifer's Cage, a prison designed to imprison Lucifer. Even after withstanding a combined but sequential attack by powerful supernatural beings (witches, every angel in Heaven, demons, and Lucifer), she still proved to be stronger than Lucifer when she stopped him and fatally wounded him, all before regenerating fully and walking away. Not long after, upon reconciling with God, the Darkness was able to heal the fatal damage her omnipotent powers did to him, without any difficulty.

* **Nigh-Omnipotence**: Due to being the pre-existential embodiment of nothing, the Darkness's strength is near infinite. She is even superior to most of her siblings and only exceeded and surpassed only by God, Khaos, Azathoth, and her elder sister Ayin yet still proven herself to be able to rival them to some degree. Even if she is surpassed, her power is so great that God Himself required the help of His Arcuthas to be able to seal her away, and even then she had to be tricked. God has stated that while he is a perfect creator that he is not a perfect destroyer, only the Darkness can truly destroy in His place.

* **Transcendent Immortality**: The Darkness is immortal. Even the combined power of all the angels caused her no permanent harm. She was also unfazed by Lucifer. However it's been stated that she can die.

* **Immeasurable Strength**: Even at her weakest, the Darkness had enough strength to throw a grown man at a wall with enough force to kill him on impact. Angels have attempted to attack her and she blocked their attempts with ease. She has strangled God Himself with only one hand even though she was already weakened from multiple attacks from spiritual beings. Despite this, it is likely that God didn't want to hurt His sister, so He was holding back.

* + **Nigh-Invulnerability**: Considering her ability to stand against God and his Arcuthas, the Darkness has immense resilience to physical and supernatural attacks. God himself was only able to speculate about what might be able to kill her.
		- **Absolute Endurance**: She has displayed significant tolerance for extreme physical and psychological trauma. This was seen when, despite the combined massive attacks from Rowena and other witches, demons, angels and Lucifer, she was still able to move and walk up to God, and, upon facing the possibility of being trapped once again, was able to overcome her own weakness and continue fighting God for some time.
	+ **Nigh-Absolute Regeneration** - The Darkness has shown a healing factor. When she was wounded by a massive angelic smite, she absorbed an Angel's grace and took help from Rowena in order to restore her powers. However, after being significantly weakened by a massive angelic smite, full scale demonic attack, Crowley attacking, and Lucifer's Spear, she regenerated only minutes afterward without any aid.. even when destroyed she can resurrect herself similar way like her brothers.
* **Absorption** - The Darkness is able to absorb energy attacks. She was able to absorb the combined smiting of all angels, although it weakened her to a certain degree. The attack was supposed to destroy a large area instead it only formed a crater. Later, she absorbed an attack from Lucifer, this time without taking any injuries.
* **Reality Warping** - While she conversed with Dean, her smoke form was still expanding, causing immense winds. However, they were completely unaffected by them, indicating that she has tremendous control over the physical Universe. Her power was evident when she turned a water fountain into blood. She is able to destroy all of God's creation and even Magic itself. Prior to the creation of the current universe, she destroyed multiple worlds God created. She was also able to create matter out of nothing as she could restore a human's body to its original state thirty years ago, in spite of it being destroyed by Azazel.
* **Umbrakinesis** - As a Pre-existential incarnation and original darkness itself, the Darkness, has the ability to summon and control clouds of darkness for various purposes. The Darkness was able to use this to create tentacles of darkness to attack and fatally wound God to the point that only she could heal him. On another occasion, the Darkness gathered all of the darkness surrounding her into her being and fired it into Heaven in the form of a shockwave as a demonstration of her power.

* Due to being the primeval darkness on her own, her power over her far exceeds that of Erebus and Nyx, but is below her older sister.

* **Weather Manipulation** - As the Darkness expanded on Earth, she caused powerful winds. She also created a deadly storm with her mind that burned people to charred skeletons. When the Darkness fired a shockwave of darkness into Heaven, storm clouds formed on Earth with lightning flashing throughout them violently.

* **Angelic Exorcism**: The Darkness has shown the ability to pull angels and demons from the bodies of humans. Though they survive, they're extremely weakened afterwards.

* **Clairsentience** - The Darkness instantly detected the soul bomb embedded within Dean and mocked him for thinking that she wouldn't be able to notice it. The Darkness was able to trace the energy emanating from God's wound and deduced that he wasn't in full strength. The Darkness stated that she could feel how God has been destroying all Alternate Universes despite her being still sealed away.
* **Conjuration** - She is said to be able to create a whole new reality in which everyone lives blissfully forever, but Lucifer disagrees.

* Similar way like her brothers she can create literally everything she wish this includes the creation of energy, souls, life of any complexity, dimensions or universes, stars, etc.

* **Empathy** - The Darkness can feel and influence the emotions of others. She was able to fully interpret the fear flowing through God, when he was trying to convince her to heal him.
* **Flight** - The Darkness, while disembodied, can fly in a similar manner to demons and angels without a vessel using her own power.
* **Healing** - After reconciling with God, the Darkness was able to heal the damage her nigh-omnipotent powers did to him, without any difficulty. God believed that she could heal the damage that was to him, but the Darkness refused to help.
* **Implosion** - After an Angel failed to harm her, the Darkness imploded him into nothingness by surrounding him with darkness.
* **Localization** - The Darkness can find any being in existence, as long as they're not warded against her. She is able to track Rowena after she left her side. However, God was able to ward himself specifically against her. She was also able to locate Sam and Dean easily despite them being two states away from her with her even stating she could smell them a mile.
* **Mental Projection** - The Darkness was able to project an image of herself and Lucifer into Dean's mind to pass a message to God and later to ask Dean to meet with her. She was also able to project a vision of herself in her grown form surrounded by her smoke form into Dean's mind to communicate with him after her release.
* **Molecular Combustion** - With a wave of her hand, the Darkness caused an angel to explode into dust.
* **Pathokinesis** - The Darkness was able to cause humans to feel blissful.
* **Possession** - After her release, the Darkness possessed a newborn baby.
* **Power Negation** - With a wave of her hand, the Darkness was able to negate Lucifer's hold over the Winchesters. She also was able to render Lucifer completely powerless against her with ease. The Darkness has shown the ability to negate God's ability to teleport so that he couldn't leave the bunker. However, God said she couldn't keep this up forever, implying that he would eventually be able to overcome this.
* **Rapid Aging** - By consuming the souls of both humans and demons, she was able to incrementally age herself until the Darkness aged from a baby into a full adult.
* **Resurrection** - At one point, the Darkness resurrected a previously dead human. She was able to do this with no apparent effort despite the human being dead for over thirty years and having left no body behind.
* **Sedation** - With a wave of her hand, the Darkness was able to knock Lucifer out.
* **Smiting** - Just by raising her hand, the Darkness was able to kill an angel with a similar effect to an angel blade.
* **Spell Deflection** - While she was briefly affected by a spell, the Darkness was able to quickly overcome and deflect the spell back at Rowena and the other four witches, killing all but Rowena instantly.
* **Soul and Grace Consumption** - After she was released, the Darkness started devouring human souls in order to heal herself and restore her former power. In her human form, she ate a soul which made her grow into a little girl and later a preteen girl. She has since consumed many souls (including demon souls). It's revealed that she can also consume the grace and essence of angels, when she attempted to consume Ambriel, she drained her from inside her vessel.
* **Supernatural Concealment** - While God could hide himself from the Darkness, she also was able to hide herself from God.
* **Telekinesis** - In the form of a human, the Darkness displayed telekinesis. She forced an angel to kill himself with his sword and even overpowered God and Lucifer at the same time.

* **Teleportation**: The Darkness has the ability to transport herself anywhere within the Megaverse almost instantly. She can do this alone or with other people, though anyone who isn't used to teleportation would feel nauseous afterwards.

* + **Apporting** - She was able to teleport Dean out of his car without a word. Later, she apported him from a city to the countryside and back. She was also able to apport her dying brother to her. With just a snap of her fingers, the Darkness was able to teleport both herself and God to Heaven and later to the bunker, both against his will.

* **Fusionism**: She can merge with her brother by entering a state of balance between light and darkness, creation and destruction, everything and nothing. Despite the great power that the fusion of the two results, in relation to God the increase in power is almost insignificant, even Ayin mentions: "brother, until recently you were much stronger than her, what power do you think you gained with this merger?". Nevertheless, this eliminates God's weakness to darkness and the darkness's weakness to light.
* **Darkness Embodiment**: She can act as a physical manifestation or personification of Darkness, the all-encompassing void that acts as a counterweight to light. The manifested darkness is pure Negative/Dark Energy and lack of enlightenment. Darkness of this ability is essentially tapping into the core of different forms of darkness itself to assert its dominance.
* **Darkness Empowerment**: She become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when it comes into contact with darkness or shadow, possibly unlocking affinity-related abilities and enhancing existing powers. he may be able to draw sustenance from darkness or even stop aging.
* **Darkness Manipulation**: She can create, shape, and manipulate darkness and shadows. this ability is mainly used to cloud everything into total darkness, but it can also be channeled to a variety of effects, either as an absence of light or as a solid substance: one can also control and manipulate the beings that exist there, create and dissolve shields and areas of total darkness, create constructs and weapons (e.g. swords, daggers and bow and arrows) teleport huge distances through shadows, etc.
* **Esoteric Darkness Manipulation**: can manipulate the esoteric side of darkness, with special properties and a mystical nature. Masterfully, she is able to use the esoteric element for a variety of magical effects.
* **Umbrakinetic Creature Creation**: he is capable of creating beings and molding darkness into different shapes for a variety of purposes. He can grant these beings various levels of detail (simple to intricate), independence (controlled, programmed, semi-independent, or autonomous), and existence (momentary to permanent), and eliminate the entities once he's done with them. he is capable of creating all kinds of entities with a wide variety of attributes such as abilities, appearances, identities, and personalities, as well as potentially granting them equipment and other accessories such as clothing or weapons.
* **Dark Energy Manipulation**: She can create, shape and manipulate dark energy, drawn from itself, can be channeled to a variety of effects such as the absence of light, a solid, gaseous and liquid substance that can be shaped and manifested in various ways. for example he is able to "shoot" gaseous darkness from his hands capable of assimilating opponents, and has the power to create a greatsword of dark energy.

### Weaknesses

Despite her immense power, even the Darkness has weaknesses and can be sealed away or even killed.

* **Spear of Longinus** - Like with the Son of God, was capable of harming her vessel to the point of her admitting defeat.
* **Witchcraft/Magic** - Although being one of the most powerful beings in existence, magic is still able to affect the Darkness, as Rowena used a spell to heal her, and she combined with four other powerful witches were later able to use a powerful spell to diminish her to an extent, briefly bringing her down and burning her face and right shoulder and leaving her somewhat weakened, although Rowena's lone power proved to be completely ineffective against her and even their combined might didn't held her for long as she redirected the spell back at them, burning the four witches and rendering Rowena effectively helpless. God's magic, harnessed through a spell, was able to trap the Darkness when she was weakened, and despite retaining enough power to overpower God and Lucifer after she was weakened by the combined efforts of the demons, witches, and angels, she had to actively resist God's attempt to recast the spell and trap her rather than simply withstanding it head-on, suggesting it would have worked had she not fought back.

## History

The Darkness formed after the waters of Khaos cooled down the fiery destruction of Ayin, revealing the Darkness to exist.

Of the pre-existentials, most were content to float around in the emptiness of space, doing nothing. However, God was not content to sit around in the emptiness of nothing, and decided to begin Creation. They destroyed everything he made, and when God created another world they destroyed it again. And again, and again, and again.

God's patience was not infinite, and eventually he grew wroth. To accomplish his revenge against the Darkness, God waged war against the Darkness but found to his surprise that she was just as powerful as he was, no matter what he did. One day, God came up with a revolutionary idea, he would make his own warriors that would help him fight his 'sister'. And so he created the the first Arcutha known as Calur and together they wage war against the Darkness. God was eventually able to barely defeat the Darkness, and instead of killing her, God bound her with thousands of seals and locked her away, so that she would not interfere with his creations, sealing her away within the Abyss.

After that battle, God then created the rest of the Arcuthas and came to the other battle in the cosmos and so in fought against Khaos with his Primordials and Azathoth with his creations, the Outer Gods. While this battle took far longer than the previous one, God was finally able to defeat them both and had sealed both away. After that battle and the corruption of the Arcuthas at the hand of Therion, he then created Heaven and the soldiers to defend it, the Angels.

And in all those billions of years while God and his Archangels ruled Heaven, fought their own wars, witnessed the fall of Lucifer who was imprisoned within Hell, a realm created by Ayin. During these events The Darkness lay there, and simmered. Simmered and raged and shouted and screamed and contemplated the reasons why she was now confined to eternal imprisonment. Her anger allowed Ayin to find where she was, and manipulated events to free her sister. Her anger also allowed the Fallen Angel Lucifer to take over Hell.

When Virgo used a spell from the Book of the Damned in order to free Carl Black from Hell, The Darkness was unleashed once again. While on Earth, The Darkness has taken the body of a female baby. Since regaining her power by consuming human souls, she matured and grew into a young woman in just a few months.

During the time when Darkness was growing and developing, getting older as it fed on the souls of humans, God in thousands of years decided to interfere directly in creation. During the time that God was on Earth, He ended up also meeting with Sandalphon, and together they came up with a plan to seal the Darkness, also creating a Plan B in case things didn't go according to plan. God eventually introduced Himself to the Revelation Rangers formed by Virgo, Reagan Collins, Carl Black, Matt and Diana, where He explained the plan to seal the Darkness.

The plan involved luring The Darkness to Virgo and Diana with her witch powers attacking The Darkness' human body, which at that moment was not yet adapted to the physical plane so it was possible to cause her some pain. After that, the Archangels along with all the Angels would launch a powerful combo attack alongside the Arcuthas to damage The Darkness. After the angels attacked, Lucifer and Satan with their armies would attack the Darkness together with an attack similar to the one launched by the heavenly angels. Ultimately, Gabriel and Michael would attempt the final blow to seal The Darkness, with the three most powerful Archangels battling her in a universal battle to weaken the Great Darkness.

After The Darkness finally became tired, God tried to seal The Darkness away, but she managed to go against her brother's wishes and stated that neither He nor his creation could destroy her and that she would take everything he created to darkness. She managed to grievously injure God, and without Him, all of existence was collapsing, which meant something that had to be done before the entire Multiverse was destroyed. God then asked Sandalphon to use Plan B, and Sandalphon, with no choice, resolved to follow His Father's orders. Sandalphon used his trans-dimensional voice to speak to mortals from various universes of the Multiverse Alpha, asking them to give some of their soul power. God planned to create a soul bomb, whose power was equivalent to a Hypernova, to destroy The Darkness.

Once she had succeeded, The Darkness teleported away from God and his companions, and began to walk the Earth while watching creation collapsing. When God and his creations began to die, The Darkness began to see the world's beauty, realizing what was the true reason for her revenge: jealousy. The Darkness was jealous of God for loving someone more than her.

After Sandalphon asked for power for all beings in the multiverse, God took the spiritual power of all the inhabitants of creation, of all planets, stars, galaxies and universes, obtaining enough luminous power to destroy the Darkness. God's intention was to self-destruct with his sister, giving her both an end and the revenge she craved, to finally make peace with her.

When Darkness was alone, God appeared before her and challenged her, and as she was omniscient, she already knew that God planned to self-destruct with her and to try to stop this, The Darkness attacked God with a power strong enough to wipe out the entire Milky Way, but was absorbed by God who hugged the Darkness with all his strength. The Darkness didn't understand why his brother was going so far for those creatures, going so far as to rather lose his own life than let them die, something God replies:

After saying these words, God teleported with the Darkness to the other side of the universe, where He exploded alongside His sister who finally understood what God was talking about and realized that she never wanted creation or God to die, but she wanted them to live. The explosion of light was so great that it was possible to see it from Earth. The war seemed to be over, and since God had self-destructed with the Darkness, the universe was now in a new state of balance. However, when the Archangels were sad thinking that their Father had died, behold, suddenly behind the Revelation Rangers appear God and The Darkness.

Everyone was surprised and asked how God and The Darkness survived the explosion, something that God responds by saying that in fact they both died, but that they forgot one detail: God can revive himself, and The Darkness can too. After releasing the jealousy and anger, The Darkness finally had what she really wanted all the time: her brother back. After the confrontation with The Darkness was over, God revived everyone who had been killed by his sister and restored everything that had been destroyed in the battle.

Despite her beliefs, The Darkness showed the ability to admit that she is wrong and to make amends as she did with God. It seemed she had built her vengeance so much that The Darkness never considered what would happen when she succeeded. After being confronted with the reality of what she did, she understood her mistake.

Sandalphon also erased most humans' memories of The Darkness and her battle with God over security concerns, with only humans who already had knowledge of the supernatural world remaining with their memories intact, such as Carl Black and Reagan Collins. However, even with the memories of when she was a human erased, the humans still knew that "someone" had saved them from "something". Sandalphon promised that he would restore the memories of humans after they died, and so he is fulfilling his promise.

When God returns three years after the end of the war with The Darkness, she tells Carl that he and The Darkness have had a nice time reconnecting as a family. The Darkness has apparently developed a taste for playing keno now, showing that she has gained an enjoyment for at least some human things.

It's later revealed that although the two have grown closer, The Darkness remains annoyed with her brother and his refusal to change and has been taking some time away from God. She states that while she has accepted them existing together, she no longer wants to be in the same place as him and sees her brother as the same petulant, narcissistic being he always was while she has changed and adapted into the "better her".

She is said to return to help her brother during The Final Conflict, however nothing is confirmed.

## Myths and Legends

The Darkness is a concept from various different religions and mythologies of "the darkness" before everything is created by a creator god, heavily inspired by the fictional character of the same name from the horror and fantasy series *Supernatural*, played by Emily Swallow. Night is nothing more than what the sky looks like after the sun sets over the horizon, leaving part of the planet in darkness. When viewed from the earth, it is possible to see the stars and the galactic center due to the absence of sunlight that blocked the light of other stars.

Darkness appears where there is a absence of light, and is associated with certain religions with evil and sin or peace and knowledge. Darkness is also an element seen in fictional works, used by both heroes and villains.

An entity personifying the night is a concept present in many myths throughout history, with the most famous record being the goddess Nyx of Greek mythology and her Roman equivalent, Nox. Night has often been used metaphorically for the eternal battle between good and evil, with night being the representation of darkness, meaning evil. And the day being the representation of light, that is, meaning good. Therefore, there will never be a day when evil defeats good, just as there is no night that can prevent the sunrise, for whenever light appears, it destroys darkness, bringing hope and life to all things.

In Abrahamic lore, Darkness was associated with the devil himself due to being the opposite of God, the entity of light. However, God has been compared to shade and darkness just as much as light and holy fire - case in point, He keeps His people in "the shadow of His wing" for protection. By contrast, Lucifer is known as the "Light Bringer" and the "Morning Star". This is also implicit in the Bible, where there was only darkness over the aquatic abyss, when the Earth was in a disorganized state and in deep chaos, and God to bring order out of chaos and bring creation into existence, the Creator creates the light to separate the darkness and names light by day and darkness by night, this being the first act of the Creator to begin the creation of the Universe.

## Trivia

* Out of Pre-existential, The Darkness is the most fine with humans (aside from God). She even kissed one.
* The Darkness is one of the Pre-existentials that least interferes with Creation, at least not directly and clearly, just living in disguise and peacefully among humans.
