Elpis closed her eyes as she felt Pride walk closer behind her. His hand rested against the small of her back as they both looked at the impeccable view from her chambers. She knew it would be some time before she returned to the Underworld and she wanted to take one last look at her beloved's realm. For a time she couldn't quantify, Elpis had to stay in this room, enchanted in order to keep the Underworld from rejecting her presence there. She had to regain some of her divine energy and she knew that staying put would help her achieve her goal but it was quite a trial. She endured solitude once again, praying for the safe return of her king, longing for his touch, yearning for the sound of his voice in her ear. There were days she couldn't handle his absence, the desire to see him, the need to be closer to him overwhelmed her but she resisted her urges because she knew there would be better days. And they did come. Pride returned triumphant from his personal war. He returned to his Light.

For the first time since she was set free, Elpis realized that her vengeance was now within her grasp and the sudden realization had her take a deep breath. Ishtar and Ayasha took everything from her, everything from them both. They violated her very being by forcing her essence to be trapped inside mortals for 2000 years and making everyone forget about her. They had Hades discover Pride's relationship with her and had him unmake the Sin, further destroying what he once was and what they once had. They killed her beloved father to steal his throne and power while their mother was indifferent to what was happening. All of this because of petty jealousy. All of this because of fear. She put her fingers over her heart and clenched her fist around the fabric of her dress. Her eyes glowed brightly and the pressure in the air as well. Her powers had life manifest again inside the Underworld, turning it crazy as it wanted to get rid of these anomalies. Plants sprung at the balcony and went past the protective spell he cast around, eliciting a cry from the Underworld as immediately, it tried to destroy Life that had appeared out of nowhere.

« Elpis. » Pride's tone was firm but gentle as he knew she was overwhelmed. The goddess lifted her head to look at her beloved king and softly smiled, noticing the eruption of life bringing the Underworld to utter agony.

« I apologize, my king. » She waved her hand and Life that once was, let Death take it away. « I just realized that my vengeance is truly within my grasp now. » She furrowed her brows, her voice growing cold. « I cannot wait until they die, beloved. All of them have to die. »

« They will, my Light. » He said, stroking her back to bring her some comfort. Her golden orbs stared at him and she slowly started to grin. « Every single one of them, starting with your brother Ishtar. He was the one who stabbed you, he has to go first. Then, we will take care of the one responsible for this mess, your sister Ayasha. »

«Yes? » she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. He pressed her tighter against his frame, enjoying how warm and comfortable she felt against him. She tilted her head to the side, her pink locks cascaded over her arm. « I am aware of your dislike for mankind, but I appreciate you taking me to the mortal realm so I can have fun again. »

« You meant, so you can regain your strength? » -He teased her, his left brow curbed.-

He knew the goddess was fond of humans. It was something that could barely be ignored 2000 years ago. Hope, after all, was a powerful emotion humans responded well, too. But 2000 years was a huge gap and humanity did evolve into a cesspool of indignities. They were wretched, deluded fools who desperately needed to be ruled over again. They had lost faith in gods a long time ago, killing them for a new imaginary god, power and money. Pantheons were dying already, when Pride took over the Underworld, and along with ancient faith, fear vanished. However, this trip might help him reconsider a little bit mankind -reconsider being a strong word here- because she was here. Her light, pure and bright would shine again onto those vile creatures and secretly, the king of the Underworld wanted to see her smile again. He wanted to see her rise again and eventually, wrap humanity around her finger. Going on the mortal realm would give him the opportunity to discover her again and while he didn't want to mention it too much, he was actually looking forward to /this/.

« I meant my words. I always thought humans were resourceful and funny creatures. I remember sneaking out of the Primeval gods realm and blend in with humans. I enjoyed their music, their impeccable taste in fine arts, especially their cuisine. » She giggled and pressed her lips to his. « I am eager to discover this new world, but also eager to sharpen my knife. Can a goddess have her cake and eat it too ? »

She pouted playfully before he pressed his lips to her in a searing kiss. His other hand slid into her pink mane and held a fistful of pink hair. She simply gave in to his urge to kiss her face. She moaned in between their lips and held his shoulders harder as he deepened their kiss. She felt his right knee nudge between her legs, firmly pushing them aside so he could press his knee in between her legs. That made her whimper and kiss him harder. They both knew they would leave the underworld in a matter of minutes, but she couldn't resist the urge to kiss him with equal passion. Just as he finished teasing her, the sin pulled away to take a good look at her face, her hair disheveled, her sugary lips half-opened, her chest heaving up and down at a fast pace and fire in her eyes that were glowing like two suns.

« Are you sure you want to leave this place, my king? You're acting like someone who doesn't want to. » She teased him, once she regained control over herself and quietly ran her hand through her hair and moistened her plumps soft lips.

« I'm not stalling if that's what you meant. We're leaving. »

And he snapped his fingers, transporting them to the mortal realm where a new chapter of their life together, begun.
