The preparations for the hell's sweet girl Roxy going to the surface were being done when the girl looked at her father for one more time before the father engulfed the little princess of his into his warm embrace.
However, the embrace is killer warm because he is Satan.
"Don't worry too much about things, my dear. Do not forget the mantra for coming back here whenever you need to, yes?" The father of the demon asks the girl as she nods her head against his gigantic chest.
"I won't father, I can't. I have it stored in my mind like an imprint." She says as the ruler of hell nods his head.
"Good girl." He compliments her.
Jikun was watching all of this with jealousy dripping out of her eyes as she glared at the two. Why did she never receive such concerned treatment from her father on her first day visiting Earth? Was she not as valuable as Roxy?
It seems not.
She was burning in the fuel but Lust comes behind her and slithers his hand over her waist, his breathy, manly voice in her ears as she cowers away from his touch.
"She is much loved than any of us around here, Jikun. don't you like that?" He asks provocatively, the woman breathing out heavily and turning around to push him by his shoulder. He smirks and looks down at the small ache around his chest, where his non-existent heart resided, "Did you just push me over?"
"I did." she confidently answers Lust who clenches his jaw and walks away. Her inferiority complex never helped when she sighed again, loving how even Lust walked away and completely disregarded her feelings, moreover taunting her.
Gluttony listens to all of them and Sloth simply shakes his head and talks to his brother, his hand on his shoulder.
"Brother, I think we should go now. It's been time since Roxy has to—"
"Yes, yes. Her first landing." Gluttony releases a breath and quickly turns away to walk back to his room or explore the corridors once more until he has to go away for a few years with Roxy.
"Dad, you can't come with me there? You could be the best guide I'll ever see." The girl insists but the lord doesn't fall for her cuteness this time.
"The only time I am allowed to come up there, dear, is when there are too many angels or when my devilish angel here is in danger. Grave, danger." He says, stressing the words that he should as the woman pouts again.
"Aw, stop that, my love. Go now, go up and explore the land for me. The human civilization right above us," he points toward their heads as she instinctively looks up and chuckles, "They are versatile and understanding. I predict you will fall in love with a man." He adds, to which the woman widens her eyes and shakes her head as though that can stop her from fate.
"No, that won't happen."
"But that is bound to happen, love," Satan tells her with a chuckle while she groans and gets up from his lap, stomping her feet and throwing a small tantrum like a kid.
"You're still the small kid I knew. Now, go. The pillars have indicated to me the time. Yield your energies wisely, love. You will know exactly when to call me." Says the lord of the underworld and when Roxy turns towards the steps, below were the seven sins looking as powerful and mesmerizing as ever.
She walks down the stairs with elegance and her eyes get the glance of her sister by the tall pillar of the castle. She scoffs and looks away while Roxy only gives her a small smile and continues to descend.
"You look beautiful as ever, princess." Lust was the one who assisted her to the last step by taking her hand, and he kissed the back of it when she reached the ground, as though appreciating her task positively and unconditionally.
His only condition was almost always clear in his actions. Just one night with the Princess of hell would change his life.
"I'll see around, daughter. Take good care of her." the father tells his sins, the second part of it.
Soon, the cute girl waves her hands for her father as the sins channel their energies, the course set upwards as they zoom into the air with a bust of golden beams as their tracks.
"Ah, what do I do...?" He sighs, his smile dropping when he sees his other daughter's retrieving back towards the chamber of hers.
Jikun, on the other hand, was trying her best to come up with ways to stay near and become her father's dear. Should she imitate Roxy? Why was she even pitying herself and trying to copy her sister? She thought of staying her own way, but that never yielded to a good compliment from Satan.
Sometimes, the woman suffers to understand that the ruler of hell was from heaven once. He is the fallen angel.
Jikun had a hard time understanding why her father would quench the thirst for life with death, throwing thousands and thousands of lives down the river every day. He had to do his job, whereas Jikun loved those mournful screams of each and every soul.
Back when she was younger, she loved listening to the people cry and roar for another life on earth; the place was too hot and unhappy for them. She loved that music.
But when Roxy came a few thousand years ago, she was cunning for love. Since that day.
Her head hits the pillow and she stops thinking, sighing as she realizes how Sloth always helped them to sleep when things got a bit out of their thoughts.
With him gone for a while, she struggles around to find sleep, and she is knocked out for the next two human days.
Back up there, Roxy gasps incoherently as she opens her eyes and her orbs capture the most beautiful things she had ever seen.
Trees and water.
The green grass below her feet was like prickly pillows of wetness and life. She bends down to pluck a few trends and observe the roots that came along with them.
"That's where plants absorb water." gluttony says to her as his features possess a small, humble smile.
He caresses her hair when a butterfly comes to land on her nose, the sight almost melting everyone who witnesses it, except, of course, Lust.
Even wrath did melt, just this once.
"I brought that to you." pride says with the same tone of pride dripping out of his voice.
"Thank you very much," she says briefly.
"but I also hope that we do not hinder any life around this planet. It is very dear to me."
"Huh. clearly." The scoff seemed ridiculous, and Roxy simply walked away from Lust, who rolled his eyes and glared at his brother's pride.
"You taught her that attitude."
"Well, I'm thankful she isn't rude like you." He claps back while Lust clenches his jaw and follows them silently.
They walk for a few miles and from the distance, Roxy points at the human village as Sloth nods his head and says.
"Yes. that is the human village indeed. The Mesopotamian civilization."
"You already gave it a name!" gluttony expresses as Sloth realizes and shuts his mouth close.
"I didn't intend to!" He tries to support himself, but the damage is already done.
Roxy giggles at them and holds Gluttony's arm in hers, walking forth side by side.
"Gluttony, say I'm very hungry right now—" the grumble gives him the clearest idea as they chuckle, "that gave us an answer. Well, if I was hungry, and I needed...that..."
"Nutrition." He helps her out with the word as she clicks her fingers and nods her head in agreement.
"Yes. Nutrition. What would you feed me there?"
"Oh, I would feed you tons of apples to make your cheeks rosy and blushing. It's good and sweet—"
"Just like you." Lust chimes in as he begins to be sexual again as Roxy pushes him out of the frame.
"And maybe some vegetables. They eat livestock too."
"Wow? Can I eat all that?" she asks innocently as she rubs her small belly as Gluttony throws his head back in laughter.
"No, dear! Oh dear, you will eat only until your stomach feels full! You'll know soon, come on!" With that said, the man races the girl, who tries to keep up with his pace, but there is a blockade.
There was this huge wall built with sharp wooden shafts, maybe to keep the animals away at night and for safety; Roxy gasps when three men in traditional skins of mammals appear in front of them.
All of them carried spears in their hands and a lot of patience to drill a hole right through their ears.
Now, Roxy was looking a lot weird staring at them.
