Chronicles of the primeval gods: the life of Elpis: It shall be done.
A/N: Pride and Elpis going at it again! oh these two <3
Elpis was looking divine in her gold dress. It had a large back-cleavage that enhanced the natural curves of her back and was hugging her curvaceous hips and rear. Her hair was tied on a bun, just to expose her delicate neck and she was wearing golden stilettos with arm-length white gloves. A few strands fell onto her face and neck and she had no jewelry on. Her plump red lips and golden eye-shadow were enough make-up for her. She looked simple, dressed to the nines, and with the attitude that drove all those mortals towards her. They flocked around her as if she was their last meal, unable to take their eyes off of the goddess and unable to accept the fact she didn't give them any of her attention. In fact, her eyes, two perfect suns against the black of her sclera were staring at him, burning with a passion she had been keeping in check for a long while now. Due to the preparations he sometimes had to make in the Underworld and the secret mission he confided in both the Enriyes and Lust, he had to spend less time with the Goddess of Hope and Light, thus creating frustration didn't intend to. His spells protected her, but only if she remained where he placed them, which was this hotel they were staying at.
The hotel that was built where once stood the Garden of Everything. Elpis had had a hard time accepting that things did change and for the worst. This garden meant a lot to her, the very first moment she met Pride but as he savvily told her, the Pride she met was no longer existing and he never really treated her the way she deserved. This, what they were having was better because it was genuine and they took the time to learn about the other. They took the time to make new memories and took the time to genuinely feel for the other. While Pride's emotions would always remain a mystery for the goddess -and perhaps for himself too-, he cared for real and she fell in love, not with some puppy emotions but actual love. How things have changed, how a vessel could actually bring the best out of someone. Asma did both of them a favor, by teaching the goddess about patience and about compassion to others -compassion she started to lose after 2000 years locked into humans- and she taught this new Pride about something called Love, so he could at least understand how Elpis was feeling. She taught him about caring for another than himself and she managed to make him feel some sort of attraction to her/ compassion for her. Pride didn't kill her, he even erased the memories she had of him so she could move on and have a better life. So, the hotel wasn't a reason big enough to be upset, which prompted the goddess to actually enjoy the place and what it had to offer. Especially the humans and their worship.
Here she was looking incredible, surrounded by worshippers who wanted a glimpse of her attention, and here Pride was, across the room, surrounded with people who also wanted his attention and were willing to kill and maim those who stood in their ways. Here he was, looking ravishing with a black tux that was tailored to fit him. It enhanced his natural and otherwordly elegance, highlighted his blue eyes, as deep as the ocean and the hairstyle simply made his high cheekbones be even more noticeable. So they were surrounding him, calling him by his name, praying for his attention but not touching him. Whereas, they were on their knees, or standing next to the goddess, praying before her, touching her dress, her hair her shoulders, running to fetch her a glass of champagne or whatever she fancied. Pride was only looking at her and his intense blue gaze started to have hints of purple. She was provoking him, in a silent game of who would have the most worshippers, and who would become victorious. She was teasing him, looking gorgeous to the point of having him wish all those mortal souls away so he could fuck her right there. She was defiant, her golden eyes now glowing brighter as the tip of her hands became pure light again and she started to touch some of their heads. Pride groaned, annoyed at her for letting others touch her but he soon realized that she didn't care one bit about it, alls he was looking at was him.
« Come closer. » She whispered, while she touched the others who started to kiss one another, dance with the other, or fight the other. « Come closer, Superbia... » she requested, her voice laced with desire as she walked out of the cluster of human bodies towards him. He touched and influenced humans as well, who engaged in the same behavior, and soon enough the dancing room was filled with moans, kisses, noises of bones cracking while the two walked towards the other as if they were magnets.
« Your arms are glowing again. Are you showing off your powers, my light? » He teased her, but she shook her head. « So, you're still learning how to control this then. The reaction of those around you, the power that gives you. You look exquisite with just a tiny glimpse of what it could be. »
« I hear you... » She trailed off, finally standing a few inches from him. « But all I want to focus on is you. You've been away for so long, I forgot the touch of your hand on my skin. » She claimed, while slowly holding his larger hand with both of hers. It created a sparkle than gold and purple energy wave that spread through the whole room. Intensifying the debauchery taking place there. She looked at him, smiling softly as he untied her bun and let her pink locks cascade to the small of her back. By Hades, she was magnificent and so was he. He was perfect and she couldn't take her eyes off of him. « I cannot imagine another day without you, beloved. Would you care and stay with me for tonight? » She asked, bringing his hand to her cheek and pressing a kiss to it. « I want to be yours. »
She wasn't snappy as she usually was. Elpis was known for her tantrums all over the universe, but this time she was not snappy. This time she was sweet and understanding. This time she was demanding – no begging- his presence after so long without him. It flattered his massive ego, it always pushed the right buttons and it increased the influence he had on the room, to the point of bringing her to her knees without snuffing the bright light that was coming from her. He let his thumb rub over her lips and as she captured it with her warm and soft lips, her energy took over the room, increasing the madness that was taking place there. Here they were again, in a dream and nightmares, sharing the room with humans who were dancing in their honor, fucking in their names, and killing each other embodying the three emotions and desires that motivated the two deities in their room.
« It shall be done. » He simply said, more than willing to feed on the raw energy created by the chaos around them.
It shall be done.
