During the time that elapsed before the coming of the Flood, their faith was tested, and they failed to endure the trial.

With their lips still barely touching, Genesis murmured, "You are a little bad boy, aren't you?" Genesis brought his hand up and brushed a lock of hair behind Curtis' ear. "A very pretty bad boy."
