Elpis traveled the world ending war after war always remembering the travesty that was Troy. She never forgot how she was the force behind Achilles’ death.
During Elpis’ quest for peace, she occasionally came into conflict with gods who favored wars and heroes, influencing battles as they saw fit. She learned how to cease their tyranny and discovered her accumulative powers surpassed those wielded by the gods.
In the year 1173 B.C., eleven years since Elpis was born, the epic wars that threatened to destroy humanity ended. Having nothing to contend with but small skirmishes between kingdoms, Elpis consumed herself with finding her parents. Whenever she thought she had a lead, the person mysteriously vanished.
After a year of unusual disappearances, she grew angry and traveled to Mount Olympus. Elpis called the War Council together to confront all six pantheons.
Most gods on the council kept silent as Elpis questioned them. Having seen Elpis use her powers in battle, they were too afraid to confess they stole her from her parents. However, the Lords of the Underworld were the only gods not afraid of her power. Elpis could not win against them…or so they thought.
