the human civilization

1999 years, 11 months, 30 days of Earth December later...

"roxy. come here, help me a little!" sloth asks the girl as she smiles up at him and do the needful. lifting the bed, she puts a rock under it as said by the sin, and they plop up on the bed, giggling.

"What kind of angle is this, though?" Asks roxy who gets up and gives the old man as a sin his own place on his large bed. that was something he did not like, when someone came up to him to disturb his sleep. but roxy, yet again, was an exception to him too as he always forgave her for invading his privacy at times.

"roxy, honey, can you please get me the third pillow from the right?" sloth asks and the girl, now a having grown into an elegant and diplomatic young woman, she runs to the corner of the room and climbs up the ladder to find the pillow on the humongous shelf full of his sleeping essentials.

"You're always my favorite girl around here, roxy." he says as he chuckles and pulls her in to cuddle.

"Hey! what is this?" She asks him about the new kind of skinship.

"this is called cuddling. creatures need this because it produces happy hormones in most of the creatures on earth. I was trying it on you in hopes that you can be happy." He says as she turns to bury her face into his chest.

"sloth, I don't know anything about the knowledge you are giving me, but this surely has an effect on my peace turbulence. I feel so safe and..."

"happy?" sloth expects but she denies it, going further to understand.

"more like at peace. yes. I feel there is no problem that is arising for me." Says the adorable little one as sloth chuckles and pats her shoulder.

"Wow. you sleep with him but not me? come on, sloth, learn to share!" and of course, it was lust again.

in her million years of existence, this sin has been around her for at least 3000 years now. now that she has grown into a beautiful woman, much much beautiful than jikun ever was and will be, almost every demon who passed by her thought that she belonged to the wrong place.

striking wide and sparkling eyes, bright and porcelain skin like ivory and the sweetest soul in existence. at least according to the creatures of hell.

roxy had her own fair share of sins done all through her years of existence.

"would you mind? I was trying to be at peace, but you— ugh. why don't you just disappear?"

"honey, your father created me before you. I think you gotta ask Satan to detain me from existence." Says the man as she gives him a disgusted stare.

"please get away from my sight. sloth, did you not tell me cuddling releases happy whatever it is?"

"Yes. I did." He responds and roxy looks at lust briefly before looking back at sloth.

"make me happy by pushing him away. I don't even want to see or hear from him for the rest of my life." Says roxy as sloth chuckles and says, "that is impossible for me. but I can do a few hours or a few days at a stretch."

"please. that would be a lot, lot of help." Says roxy as she sees lust leaning his elbow to the wall and supporting his head with his hand as he yawns as if their conversation was boring him.

"of course. what can you even do— you can't hear or see me, huh?"

"sadistic whore. why does he even want me? can he give up and let me live in peace?"

"I can't really say you can expect much from lust anymore, roxy. he gets what he wants, and he can wait for a really, really long time. he is going to go to lengths to persuade people, but he will get his job done even if earth turns into hell." Says sloth as roxy releases a sigh and the man engulfs her into his embrace more.

"don't worry about him now. concentrate on your journey to the realm of life. you will be there, up there in two days." He says as he points to the ceiling above, mentioning about the earth that is above them.

"I still do not know the ways of the humans. father said...I will have to go to um...what was that..."

"Mesopotamia." sloth answers her with a chuckle as she picks up the point to continue.

"Yes! I think that is not the problem for me. sloth, I am already doing so bad at knowing where is what. how can you expect me to live there all by myself like jikun does? she is an expert, but you would not allow me to be with her." Says roxy as she gets angry at the ruler of hell.

"you innocent little creature. out of all, I highly believe in you and that you will survive better than anyone else had ever. your skills in your test was adaptability and endurance. these two are the characteristics of a traveler. now if that does not make you feel confident on yourself, then I do not know what will help you feel comfortable up on earth." Says sloth as roxy sighs and clicks her tongue.

"thank you for believing in me, sloth. I think I talk to father about this now. I will see you later."

"and if you don't, I will use my magic on you, little one. you make a good cuddling buddy. and that is rather a compliment." Says the man as he releases her from his embrace as she giggles and sits by the side of his bed.

"Alright then. I will go now. thank you for saying this!" Says roxy as she leaves the room to go to her father to talk about the matters more.
