Description
This is very exceptional and extremely personal so I would not go into details. Superbia belongs to a real life dear friend of mine N. who saved my life, in the very literal way a while back. He also is one of my muses. He surprised me circa Christmas with a beautiful and heartfelt and personal present that meant a lot for both of us so I returned it in kind.
So I accidentally "found"
who is definitely an amazing and sweet artist (please visit their gallery), by chance and I realized she was the one who could make it happen the way I wanted it to happen! I have found the tailored present I wanted for Him and me both. Our characters from the days we were writing together, Superbia and Elpis. it was followed with a very long letter. It makes me so happy sincerely!
has not only captured the essence of both characters but they are just so cute together! I love Asma's hair and smile the most! look at those pearly whites!! look at how her eyes scream happiness 
this is exactely how my friend makes me feel whenever I am talking to him. I'm being mushy and teary but I decided to post it here so you could see their work and support this wonderful artist too 
N and I used to write together and his character Superbia/Pride is inspired by the Seven Sins. Elpis (which is one of Asma's other names and means Hope in ancient greek) and him had a very complicated relationship. In this story, he was a SIN, a lethal weapon created by Hades to overthrow Olympus and with the power to slay gods. She was the primeval goddess of Hope (read: the first of the firsts gods). so really some Yin/Yang situation and Romeo/Juliet vibes except darker, more violent and more heartbreaking. He's a grade A asshole, living up to his namesake and she is the goddess of Hope. When gods from her pantheon realized she was having an "affair" with their mortal enemy, after the fall of the Olympian pantheon, they tried to stop it. since she stood by Pride, she was cursed into a never ending cycle of reincarnation with everyone (and the world) forgetting about her. Millenia happened and one day, her current vessel (and Doppëlganger Asma) was so in synch and similar to her that she was able to breach the seal, awakening the world and the pantheons + SINS of her existence and having Pride come to Asma to protect her and prevent her siblings to kill the vessel and start the same thing all over again. Pride has changed. He lived as if he never met her so she can't reach out to him, he doesn't feel the same way, they have to start all over again and with the presence of a vessel with her own mind. things are out of hand and unpredictable.

this is a tribute that goes along well with this piece:
She heard the pleas of the human to let her be and shook her head as she refused to let it happen. So many centuries spent in darkness would never change her mind or make her forget. « I will find you. » was more than her famous last words. I was an oath she intended to keep. She managed to scratch the seal and weaken it enough for Pride to find her meatsuit, but then came the most difficult part of the whole process : keeping her body alive and convincing the human to give her life to her. It was an act of selflessness that humans weren't known to have but Elpis kept hope that this human would be different from the others. They shared a lot of similarities and maybe this one was more sensitive to what was actually happening than any of her previous hosts who simply ignored her very existence regardless of the numerous oddities their loved ones pointed out.
Millenia spent in this dark room with nothing more than herself to keep her company could have had broken her down. But it didn't. Instead, the longer she spent trapped within someone else's mind, the more determined to break free she was. The reason was simple. It was for Pride. It was because of him and it would forever be for his sake that the goddess wanted to be out. She was in love with him, a love so tremendous that it could shatter the very universe, literally and figuratively.
Yes, it was a romance that should have never happened, like those Romeo and Juliet kind of stories. Pride was her mortal enemy, a sworn enemy to the primeval gods she should be fighting instead of loving. Yet she couldn't help but fall in love with the SIN, casting away the very morals and laws of her people to be with him. And even in such a situation of everlasting reincarnation, the goddess didn't regret a single day spent with him.
He might have forgotten her over the centuries, she still cherished the memories they shared. She remembered the very first moment they met, kissed, made love and argued. She remembered his stubborness which could be cute but very quickly unnerving and she remembered how he would make up to frustrating her with unique and beautiful presents he would bring from other realms, with a smile and several kisses. Throughout her millenia of punishment, it was his face that helped her handle time. It was the promise of finding him again, holding him in her arms that drove the goddess and have her keep trying to weaken her seal. Asma, the current host, was way more easier to play with and they probably were so compatible that it allowed for the seal to slightly be weakened.. enough for her to reach out to her beloved who quickly found her.
« I will always find you. » It was more than an oath, it was their future.
He found her. He found her among billions because he caught her psychic print and cry for help. He caught her presence and his memories were restored. He found her again and from now on, she was sure he would do anything he could to have her come back to him. Love was an unbreakable bond and her siblings knew this. They realilzed Elpis couldn't be swayed into hating the SIN anymore therefore they had to take her down before her feelings for the creature caused their doom. Elpis hoped in a different future where she and Pride wouldn't have to deal with the shenanigans of their siblings. She hoped in a world where the two of them could exist in harmony, far from humanity but not too much so she could keep influencing them in the good way. But her siblings decided otherwise. Ishtar forced her into this never-ending punishment, locking away Hope from the world and the result was an actual disaster. A world without Hope was a gloomy world where everything and everyone had their life already written on stone. Nothing could change and nothing would change. It was disheartening to say the very least and motivated Elpis to leave the body she was in.
She usually wouldn't bother after so long, because there were so many bodies, so many souls she had to co-exist with that ultimately, it shouldn't have mattered if this host died. Elpis grew fond of that little human, mostly because she was able to translate so vividly her memories of Superbia, but she was extremely sensitive to the whole situation. Of course she was scared, she didn't understand what had just happened to her, but she could understand and she could willingly give her life to save Elpis when time would come, at least the deity believed in it. She felt and grew with the human and realized that she had a lot of unfulfilled dreams, a lot of passion and love within her she suppressed greatly due to the lack of Hope and all of this made Elpis want to help in any way she could. Alas, she couldn't help because she was entrapped within said human so all she could do was try and send her hopeful vibes, thinking that maybe it could influence her. It did. It did greatly. It did so well that Asma was a little more welcoming of the idea of a SIN and of this tragic love story between him and the entity that was inside of her.
Love was strong and because Ishtar feared it, he tried to imprison his sister but it only fueled her love for Pride even more. It allowed /her/ to set herself free enough to be found and it will help the two of them find a way to set her free completely. Love.. love was unbreakable. As her long flowing pink locks floated around her frame, she looked up to the dark « room » she was locked in. A golden aura still surrounded her curvaceous frame that was wrapped in a gold and white dress. She put her hands on her heart, closing her eyes for a while as she tried to communicate with the human, in response to her panicked burst of words and poor attempt at contacting the goddess. The room was stil dark but she could see a faint light pierce through darkness. What could it mean ? Could it mean she could talk to her host ? Shrugging at first, she tried to talk to her.
« I apologise for putting you through this Asma. I didn't choose this life, I didn't choose to be punished the way I was and trust me, if I could go back in time and fix things I would have already. I know you are scared and I know you want to go back to my sibling and bargain your freedom but I beg of you not to. I beg of you.. If you do that, not only would you die on the spot, but I would lose the ONLY chance I have to find Pride. It would start all over again.. he would forget me all over again ! I refuse, so bear with me human. Bear with my selfishness for a while. Don't go near them. »
The faint light disappeared, urging her to scream « No no no no no NO !! » before she hit against the walls of the room and sat on the floor. It was useless, she couldn't communicate with her that way. Little did she know, that she reached out to her host's mind and slightly influenced her so she would speak out loud to Pride and share that terrible idea. It would give /him/ the opportunity to turn her down and prevent the disaster from happening... So, all wasn't lost. There still was hope.
There still was Hope.
