The Story of Hell and Heaven:

Once upon a time, there was a  glowing city protected by Golden Gates known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light; angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer, with fantastical ideas for all of creation. But he was seen as a troublemaker by the Elders of Heaven, for they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So he watched as the angels began to expand the universe and in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith, equals as the first of mankind.

But despite this, Adam demanded control and Lilith refused to submit to his will, she fled the garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love. Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity. Offering the fruit of knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin and the order Heaven had worked to maintain was shattered.

As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream but Lilith thrived. Empowering demonkind with her voice and her songs, and as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year they would send down an army, an extermination to ensure hell and its sinners could never rise against them.

But Lilith's hope remained, and her dream was passed down to their precious daughter, The Princess of Hell.

Present:

A year had gone by since Charlie started the Hazbin Hotel with Vaggie. They started with having Angel Dust as their first patron; Angel only agreed to it for the free room. Within that year, Charlie had already gotten two patrons in the hotel who chose to be at the hotel. Another porn star, Andy Grin wants to be redeemed so he can be with his lover in Heaven. And a cat sinner, Victoria who helped with the hotel's image. She showed her building design for the hotel to Charlie and they worked on remodeling the hotel to be more presentable. Victoria's design made the hotel look like a Broadway theater and even fixed up the lobby.

Charlie even had two of Hell's Overlords help out with the hotel. Kara Melody, the Overlord of music, owner of the Karaoke Club, and the hotel's therapist. Along with Alastor, The Radio Demon, who wanted to work on the hotel for some entertainment. Alastor even had two of his best workers to help with the hotel, Niffty, who loves cleaning, and Husk who runs the hotel bar. Over the past year, the hotel family had some major glow-ups with their looks and some with their voices. Plus Charlie's key turned into a cute little hell kitten named Kiki and everyone loved having the little kitten around. Charlie grew a little taller and her hair grew longer which made her tie it up in a bigger braid. Her eyes were redder than her usual white with black pupils.

She still wore her pant suit but the color was a more vibrant color of pink. Vaggie changed her clothes to a red shirt and a black mini-shirt. She still kept the bow in the back of her hair. Alastor mostly stayed the same as Angel; except Angel replaced his lower pink gloves with white ones. Husk stayed the same but his voice tone changed to more smoother than it was before. Andy ditched his old porn star clothes for something more simple. Victoria shared some clothes with Angel after he found out that she didn't own anything nice. Kara's red streaking in her fur became more vibrant like Alastor's. She even started to wear colorful clothes that matched her friends.

The extermination had happened a week ago which got Charlie a little worked up. She always reads the story of hell to help calm her down. Alastor took the liberty of filming a new commercial for the hotel but it wasn't what Charlie had envisioned. Alastor hated using modern technology and TV broadcasts; so he made the commercial look like a joke. After the commercial ended, Alastor turned off the TV and then turned to Charlie and Vaggie with a smile. "So what'd ya' think?" he asked, feeling proud of his work.
