Elpis was adjusting her outfit, making sure that the dress made her look as if she was covered in stars picked up from the sky. It was supposed to be a night of debauchery, where the Sin and the Goddess would enjoy the gorgeous and decadent activities humans so adore. It was supposed to be a good night out. Pride had agreed to leave with her, mingle with humans he so dispised with the promise that somehow, they would both be causing mayhem and chaos around them. Yet, something was bothering the goddess and she didn't know what. There were open wounds that had not been healed just yet. The deaths of the siblings she loved the most had not been avenged. Her betrayal at the hands of the one she trusted the most had not been avenged. She felt empty. While she had no qualms about destroying her pantheon, part of her was still distraught over the fact that her life as she knew it, was gone forever. 

She would be the last standing Primeval god. The last of her kind after the slaughter. There would be nothing left of those who brought Life and from who the other pantheons originated. There would be nothing left, not even a footnote about the importance of their existence. Nothing...but dust. They had it coming after all, they wouldn't have been able to survive the Sins growing appetite. They wouldn't have been able to survive Pride. How ironic it would be for them to perish by the hand of the very creature they all dispised. How fitting this ending would be for the New All-Father and the Goddess of Knowledge, his puppet master? The idea of their defeat, of the golden blood she would bathe in was enough to titillate the goddess' interest but not enough to quell the uneasy feeling that was growing inside her. What would come after? 

She didn't doubt her King, never! she couldn't doubt Pride for he showed that he cared for her. She didn't doubt his loyalty and honesty and doubted even less his dedication to her. She was his Light after all. She was his beloved just as he was hers. No, what she dreaded so much was feeling empty once her vengeance would come to fruition. What if the destruction of her pantheon didn't bring her peace? what if she was torn apart? what if she was upset? what if.... oh what if she ended up being lost? Elpis had a plan, she had a devouring ambition and she wanted to achieve her goals but after spending 2000 years stuck in her desire for revenge, she was worried of what would come after. What if she lost her purpose? what if she couldn't move forward? It was a weakness that made her legs shiver and the goddess had to put her hands on the wall to stay standing. Emptiness was the threat dangling over her head and that was making her queasy. The fear of not knowing what to do next was overwhelming. 

But just before she started to spiral, the goddess was gently touched by the Sin behind her. Pride had just appeared, wearing a beautiful tuxedo that complimented his shape. He was observing her getting ready, relishing in the sight before him when he picked up her worries. He had to calm her down and help her feel better, and so he came closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her into a hug and leaned his chin on top of her pink locks. She sighed happily and wrapped her arms over his. She would be alright because he would be there with her. She would be alright because they knew where they wanted to go. Emperors of the Universe had a nice ring to it and they would take that title with force if necessary.
