She had time to think about what she would do once free. Revenge was on her mind but she had to think about the aftermath. Primeval gods did HER a favor by destroying each other. Only enemies remained, Including her own mother who remained apathetic to what happened to her. But once they are gone...what would she do?
She believed she could conquer the sin once again. Or try to. Find the connection they shared that was responsible for her whole ordeal. Love... love him. Her love for him was the most certain thing She had. The only thing She had. Especially now that She was alone. Elpis couldn't just pretend she didn't love him, after all, she went through but this concept became foreign to him. After all, her curse made it as if She never existed and they never met. He wasn't even per say, feeling the same for her but at least he cared. Yes, she gave up everything for a chance to be cared for by a weapon.... a glimpse of affection. ANd She would do it again because she saw in him what none ever could.
Elpis knew She would help Pride rule, fight his wars, protect him. She had made this her mission. To be the support he needed. She would rule with him if that was possible. She would..... she had to be free first.

She had an appetite for life like none would expect. Certainly being the last born of Gaea and Chaos and being the favorite played a huge part in it but she was the primeval goddess of Hope. Hope was rooted in everything, from gods to mere mortals and even animals. Hope was powerful, all consuming, just like Elpis was.
Elpis was powerful. More powerful than some gods when truly unleashed but she never or very rarely tapped into that power. Only once did she bring a full pantheon down to its knees and never considered doing so again and it had to do with her very nature. She was a force for good. She was positive and on top of it all was more inclined to protect and save rather than kill. Her compassion defined her and was her strength but it also was her weakness for she couldn't help herself but show compassion to any living creature.
He compassion led her to Pride. Her compassion made her fall in love with him for she believed he was more than what he appeared to be. He was more than just a weapon. He was more than a tool. He was her equal and in the world they lived in, considering a sin as more than a weapon was heresy. Her compassion led to her curse, for Ishtar stabbed her with the dagger of Fate. Her compassion led to her rebirth as well. Well.. that part was still to happen but it was meant to be.
She had an appetite for life that had rarely been seen. An appetite that became stronger when she met the sin, an appetite that kept on growing throughout the millennia spent by his side. She wanted more than she had. She wanted more from life and nearly had it, if it wasn't for the curse.
It robbed her of a future, a brighter future with the Sin who softened his edges for spending some time with her. It robbed her of a future, a future where she would have been a ruler by his side because he would have taken her as his queen. Now she could merely hope for maybe, be his support. relegated to the background if he even cared for her presence at all. She didn't know... and uncertainty was driving her mad.
Elpis was temperamental. A quality she discovered by his side. She knew what she wanted and she wanted him, all of him, even if that meant she would have to fight teeth and nails to get to him.
