A/N: I am so excited! Elpis finally got her weapon from Pride. of course, it's a moment to celebrate and I needed to celebrate it properly, so here it is.

The elder goddess opened her eyes as wide as she could. She couldn't speak just yet because words were failing her. instead, she put her hand over her plump lips and tilted her head to the side, allowing her luscious hair to fall onto the side. Her golden orbs stared at what Pride was holding in his hands. Her beloved forged her weapon, at long last! he forged it and it was a thing of beauty! She could see the specific care he gave the scythe he forged her. The blade was sharp, the handle was slick yet the design included wicked angles, and a beautiful purple tint was helping it stand out.
"I can understand why you look so exhausted. you were forging my weapon! it's so beautiful!... so beautiful... Superbia?! How can.... Can I touch it?"
He obliged her request, of course. Her reaction went beyond what he had anticipated her to do. She seemed to be ecstatic about her gift, studying its shape with her bright golden eyes and walking in circles around him just so she could take everything in. He could feel her excitement and her desire to hold the weapon in her hands. She had been patient, far more patient than usual, which the sin appreciated. Elpis had requested a weapon a long time ago, wishing to assist him in his war effort. she wanted to be a true companion to him, a queen who would not only fight by his sides but also support him any possible way she could.
They had discussed the matter at length, with Elpis mentioning that she wanted to have a god-killing weapon in order to be a match against her siblings. She might have extraordinary power, without a weapon or armor her presence on the field would become useless. Pride heard her well and chose to prepare something that could fit his queen. he kept it a secret for several human months, making sure that she didn't notice his numerous trips to the Underworld or chalked it up to being a business matter with Lust. He spent countless nights forging the blade, infusing his energy just so she could have a bit of him in her hands. wasn't it a brilliant idea after all? when they were holding hands, sparkles appeared, and their combined energy created chaos, so Pride thought the weapon through and added an extra.
She was scared at first, her shaking hands held onto the handle of the scythe as she pulled it against her chest at first. the surge of energy she felt, sent shivers down her spine and the goddess groaned a little bit. she then gasped and closed her eyes. A golden aura engulfed her body and she slowly started to swing it. the first swing was hesitant, but she swung the weapon again, this time with a firmer grip and a better aim. She swung the scythe again and twirled it in her hands. things were better, she was wielding it better. The more the goddess was playing with it, the better she felt. it was incredible in her hands, the sensation of having true power and to be fearless overwhelmed her. with this, nobody could ever try to challenge her.
Pride relished in watching his beloved enjoy her weapon. she was becoming familiar with it, twirling it around with more and more grace than when she first started. she stopped and put it on the floor, akin to a cane.
"This is infused with your energy, beloved. I can feel it inside on me. I can feel your energy flow through the scythe."
"Do you like it?" -He asked, a purple flame brightly shining upon her. the goddess' face flashed a smirk and she nodded slowly, her intense gaze meeting his.-
"More than words can give it justice. I finally feel worthy of being your Light."
"You've always been worthy." -He corrected her, closing the distance between the two of them-
"Have I?" -Elpis' voice was just a whisper as Pride's chest was now in front of her. she sighed happily and gently lifted her head so she could stare at his perfect face.-
"Always." -Pride replied, his now purple eyes were focused on her perfect face. her long fluffy pink locks that framed her beautiful face attracted his fingers which slid through it so Pride could grab her scalp. "I am satisfied with the results and even more with the fact you like my present. This is /your/ weapon, /yours only/.- "His voice boomed a little bit, sending shivers down the spine of the goddess. "This is for you, the only weapon my queen could wield. I made it so you would never feel powerless ever again. I made it so you could use it to kill your sister with. I made it, so you could channel your power with it. it has a bit of my essence, ensuring that you will never feel alone regardless of where I am."
"I will never feel alone, ever again." -She said, closing her eyes and casting the weapon away through a silent spell. she would be able to summon it at ease and at will now.-
The goddess cupped the sin's cheek and stroked it with both her hands. she was warm, perhaps warmer than usual and he could feel her energy spreading over the room, engulfing everything with her divine energy. How she loved him!how she loved the Sin. he could see in her face that she was devoted to him. he could see that he was her whole world and that she was feeling so strongly for him that the whole room was choking on her aura. to balance things out and because Pride loved to be the dominant one, he let his own energy match hers, creating chaos inside their hotel room, a beautiful big bang that was felt by humans nearby. She was grateful and docile, slowly allowing the sin to overpower her energy without an inch of resistance. She pulled away from him, walking a few steps away from her delicious Sin.
"I will learn to use it over the next couple months spent on Earth. I will become as efficient as possible with it." She then bit her big thumb and furrowed her brows. "Dare I submit a request, Meus Rex?"
"What is it that you need?" -He ran his hand through his disheveled hair while she turned her back at him and crossed her arms over her chest.- "You can tell me."
"I would like... I know you are a very busy King, Superbia, but I desperately need to learn how to be more combat-ready. I have the raw power, the berserker button, but I need to be far better than this if we were to wage war to my family. I need you to train me. Would you do me the honour to teach me how to properly fight?" -She wasn't sure of his answer, but, unable to not look at him any longer, she turned on her heels and stared at her beloved.
Pride seemed larger than life. his aura had engulfed the goddess and almost brought her to her knees. Had she not been Elpis, she would have already been begging for him to release her, but it was Elpis, and Elpis didn't bend the knee this easily. His eyes were burning purple flames as he had not anticipated her to request such a thing. Pride was delighted that she needed him, and even moreso because she wanted to learn how to become worse than she was. Pride reveled in violence, relished in her need of him and drank in the beauty of her face at this instant. his senses were set ablaze and now that he was in front of her, the sin realized that he had been away from his queen for far too long. So he cupped her cheek and nodded.
"I accept your request." -he whispered before he crashed his lips to hers, stealing her breath in a searing kiss.-
