"His crown"

"He gifted her with a weapon infused with his essence. Since this day, Elpis was wondering what she could gift her beloved with to express her gratitude. She spent a couple of months thinking about what she wanted to do until it hit her. She already spoke of a gift she wanted to give him: A crown. His crown. It would not be just any piece of gold or precious metal. It would actually be a crown infused with her own essence, something that will be everlasting and powerful enough to withstand any type of attack. It would be a unique gift, something Pride wouldn't find anywhere else. On top of it, it would be something she made for him, a token of her affection imbued with her love for him. It would be a powerful artifact, something that would empower him whenever he would need that energy. 

The goddess didn't know how to forge, however, she knew how to build. His crown would be made of pure Light, a piece of her essence she would willingly give him. The thought made her smile and she could feel the butterflies in her stomach. The execution, however, was far more difficult than she had anticipated and required intense and careful work that lasted months. Elpis couldn't manifest her full aura, no matter the ancient spells Pride had cast all to protect their hideouts. Her energy signature was far too powerful to go unnoticed if she unleashed all of it for a long period of time. So she did it slowly, bit by bit.  On top of the foreseeable fatigue that comes with giving one's essence into an object, came the pain from doing so. It hurt more than she had anticipated and with the pain mixed with fatigue, forging this crown took her several months. 

Finally, after all that hard work, Elpis was finally done with her endeavor. The crown was beautiful, so beautiful that it took a magic box and a spell of hers to hide its energy signature. She was excited about it and was hoping she would be able to give it to her beloved. She wanted to see his face when he would open the box and see the present she got him. it was exciting for the goddess who could barely hide her joy. It would come in time when he would be ready to receive her gift. Until then, she would keep it safe and hidden."
