Elpis - The daughter of Night

Strolling down the hallways of a dingy motel located somewhere in the mortal city of sins the daughter of Night was met with unfriendly eyes whose vision burned through her flesh . Their lustful eyes ran through her smooth soft skin and sparked desires in their athermal hearts which didn't surprise Elpis . The gloomy hallways were filled with clamors of moans coming from it's dingy rooms where mortals tried to supersede their lack of love with splashes of lust . The goddess in the disguise of a youthful courtesan was now facing the doorway that lead to the room where a man was waiting for her company . His eyes were set low as she entered and closed the door behind her . The goddess with a sly smile sat beside the man who seemed to be getting paler with each passing moment . She placed her hand over his shoulder which sent a shiver down his mortal body . His eyes were brimming with tears as he turned towards her . The face which was familiar to him took away all his hesitation and he sobbed loudly embracing the goddess in his arms . " I have been wishing for it for too long now " he wept , " I knew I would see you again , I knew you wouldn't abandon me " the pale man added as his pain which he bottled up for years broke loose . The Goddess wiped his tears and cupped his cheeks . Their eyes met and shared a bond of warmth which lit up the man's soul . He was beaming now as if he was Helios himself on a bright summer day but tiredness grew over him like dusk and his warmth faded . He laid down with a weak smile , his eyes still facing the goddess . " It's time my love " She whispered and placed a piece of paper under his hand . It was a picture of the man from his youth and beside him dressed in a bridal gown was the goddess but not her , the woman was his wife who was separated from him by mortality .
