Sam and Dean were feeling pretty good about themselves for this deal. Especially Dean, he had a bright smile on his face as he leaned back and took a big gulp from his beer.
"Ahhhh. Finally gone"
"I feel a bit bad for putting John on the spot like this. But hey we have bills to pay." Sam sat down and turned on the TV.
Dean chuckled "Yeah we do. And its not like we aren't going to tell him who he is meeting. I know Castiel is an angel and all. But i still don't trust him. Frankly I think that's the best attitude to have when dealing with all this Supernatural people, factions and stuff,"
"I agree."

Both brothers pulled out their guns and turned around. When they saw who it was they pulled the trigger without any hesitation. But the man raised his hand and caught the bullets
"Well that wasn't very nice" he opened his hands and the bullets harmlessly fell on the floor
"" Crowley "" the brothers growled at the sight of him
"Hello boys~" Crowley the demon just smiled at them.
Crowley was a demon, he was of average height and slightly round torso. He had light skin and dark hair although he was balding a bit on the front, noticeable by his hairline.
As a demon whose true form was just a smoke cloud, Crowley had to posses a human body. He chose this one because of how ordinary he looks. It was quite easy to make deals when you can blend in anywhere you want. He liked this body so much that he has been using it for hundreds of years. The body itself was barely human, being affected by his powers over the centuries, his true form however was still the same. And if he was killed in his vessel before escaping into his true form he would die with it.
And the Winchester brothers had him marked.
"What do you want" Sam said slowly his arm not moving an inch and ready to fire.
"The last time we saw each other I said-"
Crowley rolled his eyes "-You were going to kill me, yada yada yada"
Dean took a step towards him his gun aimed at Crowley's head "You think this is a joke?"
"Say I got an idea. How about we drop the bravado and talk like civilized people"
"Civilized! You set us up!" Sam got angry
"You were going to kill me afterwards." Crowley pointed at him "Yes I know, and I'm still here. So can we please sit down, I don't exactly have a lot of time"
Dean caught on to that "No time huh. And why is that? Weren't you the man with all the time in the world? Seeing as you can teleport anywhere you want without a magic circle. Its one of your racial perks right."
Crowley just spread his arms "Why do you think i don't want to become a devil? Sure I get more powerful, a real form to call my own, more magic that I can imagine. But I'd lose this little perk as you said. Demons with no form like me may be weaker than most, but if we want to run its difficult to stop us. Pros and cons. Balance in everything."
"I have always wondered about that" Sam narrowed his eyes " The famous ones, Beelzebub, Leviathan and the others. Are they devils or demons?"
"Ugh, don't they teach you anything in hunter school?" Crowley couldn't believe he was going to waste his time teaching these Denim-wrapped nightmares about the basics. "How are you two even still alive after fighting all those strays, demons and vampires?"
"Hey! It's not exactly like we are from one of those Hunter Clans, we just relied on what our family had" Dean yelled out, it was kind of a sore spot for them. To survive they had to rely on some pretty dangerous stuff. Stuff that their father initially forced on them.
Crowley deadpanned "Are you serious?"
Both brothers said nothing, causing the demon to sigh "Damn. Fine sit your asses down and drop the guns for fucks sake. I'll fill you in, you are useless to me if you don't even know this"
Sam and Dean looked at each other and nodded, they put down their guns, but their fingers were still on the trigger.
"Look, since your history is obviously lacking, I'm going to fill you in on some of the details. Demons were first, they existed in the underworld long before the Devils and Fallen came along. Demons were the inspiration for Lucifer to create Devils.
Leviathan, Asmodeus and Beelzebub were demons, not just any demons, they were the most powerful demons in the underworld at the time, each had their own physical body and specific power. They were the first devils Lucifer turned, but seeing as they were a bit disobedient he and Lilith created the rest of the 72 Pillars before turning other demons into devils to increase his army. For example one of the more famous ones was Mephisto, that guy became a devil just so that he could have more access to better magic."
"I see" Sam nodded "But if that's how devils were made, and now with them reincarnating other species into devils to keep their numbers up and increase their army. How are demons still roaming around? I'm pretty sure most would have agreed to become a devil"
Crowley sighed " Most still did. I was alive when that blasted Ajuka invented those little slavery chess pieces. Many demons got trapped in their peerages out of desperation like the idiots they are. I heard stories of how Lucifer forced many demons to turn into devils. Serve or die. At least they had a reason to turn. These new morons only became slaves. Fucking pathetic" he sneered
"Still doesn't explain how demons are formed. I have heard rumours, whispers but that's all" Dean pointed out, as much as he hates Crowley he does have to admit the man has his uses
Crowley continued "When a human completely gives into sin and I mean completely or has just sinned so much their soul is sent into Hell. Now contrary to popular belief there aren't mini demons or devils torturing souls because of some sort of job.
Some souls are just unlucky to be found by a demon and be tortured for a bit of fun. Now once the soul is in Hell, that means Heaven and Big G have turned their backs on that soul. Most of the time after being burned, melted or frozen by the various climates and demonic energies in Hell the soul gets completely corrupted turning into a demon. Its up to chance what kind of demon they end up as. Could be like me, or maybe something like an Imp or some other demonic creature.
Once that happens its done, no turning back. And its survival of the fittest down there. Now demons first came up with the concept of deals. Even through devils are now the mainstream thing since they don't take souls anymore and have more people willing to make deals with them"
Sam raised an eyebrow "They don't?"
"Yeah nowadays is all about status down there, the amount of deals made and the amount of money or connections gained from the deals. Demons on the other hand still need souls to boost their strength. We are low in numbers and constantly backstab each other to gain the souls that the other demon has. Honestly if the others were a bit smarter they would realize that sticking together is a much better option. But again they were once humans who were consumed by a sin or psychopaths who sinned too much. Not very clever" Crowley shook his head, honestly dealing with demons was one of the worst things he has to do. Its like talking to Neanderthals.
"Uhh. I don't mean to be rude, but why are you so different?" Dean said in a strange tone, asking someone why he isn't stupid was a strange question.
"Because unlike them I didn't get consumed by a sin or sinned too much. I chose to become a demon. I made a deal, I helped a demon get more human souls and in return when i die he would bring my soul to Hell and help me out to keep some of my sanity intact while he also sped up the transformation, he channelled the demonic energy directly in me instead of me being exposed to it for a long time." Crowley shook his head
"Never mind that, we got side-tracked, now that you know the basics we can get to why I am really here. I know that the angels visited you, I also know about Romania."
The brothers reacted to that causing Crowley to smile " Now how would you like to hear the news"
Sam and Dean just raised their guns slightly causing Crowley to roll his eyes again " Nice, very Texas of you. Listen here, the reason why everybody, especially the angels are interested in Romania is because apparently a dhampir girl was born with a Holy Relic Sacred Gear."
"A Dhampir!" Sam said in surprise "A Daywalker like Blade?"
"Yep~" Crowley popped the 'p' "Poor girl. Dhampirs are treated like shit in every vampire community, outcasts, freaks. But since she was born with a Holy Relic she can be turned into a weapon. Last I heard they are keeping her chained up and brainwashing her. Strange enough nobody seems to know what Relic she has."
"Why are you telling us all of this?" Dean said in a suspicious tone
Crowley stood up "Well obviously so you can tell the Belmont's. I'm not going anywhere near those psychopaths. And I will be damned if Heaven gets back a Relic that can be used against me. Especially if Castiel is the one to retrieve it. He is the one Angel that I most want to crush between my teeth... if I could that is."
Dean sighed, while Sam just looked confused "How did you even know Cas was here?"
"I know a lot of things."
Dean then realized something. "Wait if Heaven knows a Relic is there, why don't they just get it?"
"Because they can't. If they start attacking anybody they want, the others will gang up on them... And lets say they are in no position to be part of a war right now. That's why they are using middle men right now. Namely Hunters and Exorcists from the Church.
Pleasure doing business with you boys. And please don't tell the Belmont's the news came from me. Consider it a price for the history lesson. Cheerio" and in the next moment Crowley was gone, like he was never there in first place.
Sam just looked at Dean who raised his hands. "I know. I know. We need new wards. God damn it. We just got paid and its already gone"

I want to do a bit more worldbuilding. Like how different species and faction work and relate to each other.
BTW. Valerie Tepes is born in 1988. She is 20 in 2008. So now she is like 4 years old.
