Adam had spent the day digging in the dirt to find new animals after he had seen what was now named a mole. Lilith pointedly decided to let him do that by himself as she chose to stay by a waterfall naming the fish she could find. He started to discover his hands couldn't dig half as well as some of the animals he had been finding. Dirt was stuck under his nails as he digs out a rodent, but before he can get a good look at it he hears something loud and unfamiliar in Eden.

"Uh…you're a Ground… hog? " He haphazardly names the rodent, setting it down to investigate the noise. The groundhog runs back into its burrow happily escaping the human.

Peeking through the bushes he finds a mountain. The sound seems to grow louder, now a low rumble. Looking all over he can't find the source, so he approaches the mountain. Touching the cold stone he can feel it shaking like something is happening within. Pressing his ear to the stone he can hear the sound loud and clear like horses galloping. Pulling at the stones he tries to find a way inside, but nothing major gives, he even tries to punch the stone to no avail.

Backing up wondering if he could possibly climb the stone and find an entrance, he notices the stone start to crack. The stone was crumbling fast. Adam had to cover his ears as it gave way. A large beast bigger than an elephant crawls out of the mountain leaving a cave in its wake. Shaking off the rocks and dust from its fluffy cream colored fur. The creature looks like a mess of insects with sharp legs holding up its body, mandibles around its mouth, and the many eyes on its face.

Adam hesitantly approached the creature, softly touching one of the legs that was as tall as him. Immediately he is sent flying as the startled creature kicks him out of reflex. He lands on some bushes not far away. The beast looks at him at first with annoyance then with surprise. Hurridlie checking on him, lifting his small form and looking him over for injuries.

"Oh Shi-, You alright little guy? Nothing is broken right?"The beast asks as his fur tickles Adam.

Adam lets out a giggle. "I'm great! How did you break through the mountain? Are you an Angel? Do you know Lucifer?"

"Uh… Yes, I'm an angel, ya I know Luci, and I broke through the mountain cause I was making a cave. Wait, how do you know Luci?" The angel asks as he sets down the small human, and turns back to the newly formed cave.

"I thought he was a bird so I tried to catch him! Oh what's your name? I'm Adam." The human excitedly talks following the angel watching it manifest something sparkly in its hands.

Mammon chuckles at the thought of Lucifer being compared to a bird. "I'm Mammon." A smile spreads on his face as a thought comes to mind, He picks up the human bringing him close. "Hey, do you want to see a miracle Adam? You can't tell anyone I showed you though."

Adam nods, almost bouncing in Mammon's grip. Mammon brings the thing he manifested up so Adam can get a better look. "This is gold, a metal I made just for you and your descendants. It has many different properties so you could use it for a ton of things."

The gold looks like shiny yellowish beans, Mammon takes one of them. Another hand pokes at the cave walls finding a good spot then he gently places the gold bean into the stone. The gold expands making a vine-like shape in the stone. Adam watches it intently seeing the vein spread until it couldn't anymore.

"Want to try?" Mammon asks, offering him one of the beans and setting him down.

Adam snatches the bean and runs up to the wall shoving the gold into the stone. The form of this vein takes a more violent look, kind of like a splatter of gold that doesn't spread far. Mammon chuckles watching the amazement in the human. Together the two fill the cave with gold that sparkles with the small light from outside. Mammon gives Adam a pat on the head when he leaves.

Adam returns to Lilith not long after, finding her sitting with her feet in the water. Walking up behind her he almost hugs her before she turns around with a harsh glare. "What?"

She points to his dirt covered body. "You are not touching me till you wash off."

Adam rolls his eyes but compiles, walking into the stream, scrubbing at his skin till he looks clean. He shows off his clean skin to Lilith, arms open asking for a hug. She dips into the water as well allowing his hug. He squished against her soft body, beginning to kiss her face and down her neck. Running hands through her air his finger snag on something. Pulling away to look he finds a feather.

"I thought you were naming fish today?" He asks, showing her the white feather.

Her expression changes to something he can't understand before switching to a sweet smile. "I found a swan, a bird that can swim, guess it wanted to leave me something to remember it by."

Adam's dream is cut short by something shaking his cage. Jolting awake the chains around his wings and limbs rattle. Rapidly blinking the sleep away he tries to find the thing that woke him. In front of him stands Mammon, a devilish smile on his face watching the distress he caused the angel. He's almost unrecognizable from what he looked and acted like back in Eden.

"Good, you ain't dead." Mammon says rattling the cage again just to tick off the man.

Adam looks around ignoring Mammon. The room was big, full of tons of stuff placed seemingly at random and tons of bags with dollar signs. Spiderwebs and a nauseating amount of greens decorate the room. A giant TV and couch are in the center of the room along with a few buckets of stale popcorn.

Adam scrunches up his nose at the buttery smell. "Man this place is a fucking dump. I know you're a loser but this is just sad."

Mammon glowers at him. "Well get used to it, bird bitch. Cus this is going to be your new room."

His tone gets deeper, grabbing one of Adam's chained wings Mammon slams the man against the bars. "I would suggest you watch your mouth from now on mate, broken wings look just as pretty as proper ones."

The pressure on his wings is bruising. Part of him knows what he does next is stupid but his pride wins over reason. He spits straight in Mammon's face, watching the sin silently rage as he wipes it off his face sends a shiver of fear down his spine. The cage door comes flying open as Adam attempts to back up only to be grabbed by his neck. He's dragged out of the room as he flails trying to fight off Mammon.

Mammon seems undisturbed as he moves them from room to room. The first is a long hallway with many doors, Mammon takes him to a door with a circus tent emblem on the door. Inside of which is filled with what look to be clowns getting dressed up, all of which take one look at him then Mammon and return to putting on their makeup avoiding any eye contact with the two. Past that looks to be a ton of different equipment for events, a tightrope and trapeze are above, podiums, lion cages, mock weights, and other such things are everywhere. Mammon stops at a wheel, removing Adam's shackles and placing the angel's limb into each of the straps on it. As Adam writhes on the wheel trying to wiggle out of the restraints, the chains on his left wing are undone. It's quickly pinned in place by a dagger stabbing through it, digging into the wheel.

"You fucking clowney bastard, don't you fucking da-AHHHHH!" Mammon spins the wheel midway through Adam yelling at him.

Mammon turns to some of his employees who are intently watching the scene. "Use 'em for practice, when I come back he better not be dead."

Mammon walks off leaving Adam to the knife throwers. He goes to his office drawing up concepts he could use the angel to brand with. Angels were surprisingly a market he never tapped into, the possibilities are nearly endless, things to beat up was a given, a few cute toys to sell to kids, and knowing how people are he could also sell somethings to fuck. The mountain of paperwork sits on his desk for the other projects he has to deal with is annoying but he gets started on it.

Maybe two hours later he finishes today's work. Returning to the angel he sees multiple knives stuck around and in Adam's body. A few knives are in his wing disrupting the feathers, one is deep in his thigh dripping fresh gold, another is in the center of his hand already dried closed. Many others are close to his neck and face, one is right under his crotch. Adam looks sick with nausea and judging from the puddle of vomit on the floor he has been for a while. The clowns back up seeing their leader approach.

"Did you learn your lesson or do I need to actually break your wings, for you to get your shit together?" Mammon asks, pulling out one of the knives.

Adam looks at him, eyes defiant but unfocused. "Yeah, got it." He sounds defeated, not willing to risk his precious wings.

Mammon smirks unlocking the straps after pulling out the knives. Adam falls to the floor in a heap, wrists and ankles red from holding him up. He feels tired and sore, his back aches the most from not being able to properly heal yet. Mammon unlocks his other wing from its chains, it fans out as Adam releases a sigh, happy that it can move after the uncomfortable way he was left on the wheel. Mammon picks him up by the arm, almost dragging him as he stumbles, to the room he woke up in.

Once there he shoves Adam back into the birdcage. "If you're good I might send someone to fix up your wounds, and maybe even give you some food."

"Can I have my guitar back?" Adam wishes his voice was not as raspy as it is.

Mammon blinks. "You can actually play?"

Adam's slightly offended at the insinuation. "...Why would I make it my main weapon if I couldn't even play it?"

"Because it looks cool?" Mammon shrugs. "Fine, I'll let you have it back. On one condition, you agree to play the songs I want when I want them."

"Only if you feed me food I actually like, don't be cheap about it either." Adam counters.

Mammon smiles showing off those sharp teeth. "Oh, we're going to get along swimmingly mate." Adam only glares at the demon.
