The Conquerors Path

3rd Person POV:

Austin sat on the tree trunk with Elda in his embrace, by now the tears from Elda's eyes had dried, her hands were completely itched to him, while she sat in his lap, her natural scent mixed with the gentle wind as they blew deep into his nose, at the same time notifications kept appearing in front of him

+500 affection

+500 affection

+500 affection

It was a bizarre cycle that seemed to be repeating itself but for the current moment Austin decided to ignore it as he focused on his little sister that was in his embrace, slowly patting the part of her exposed back, he spoke

"Elda are you all better?"

Hearing Austin's question, Elda wiped the last of her tears as she raised her head to peer into Austin's eyes and as she did Austin took a deep breath to control himself, the current Elda had a blushed face on her face as her eyes turned into to crescent shapes that were swirling with emotions that wanted to gobble him up

Her pink enticing lips were parted a bit, as her entire face screamed for something only he could give, Austin felt his heartbeat fasten as he felt a deep attraction towards the girl in his arms, it was as if time had stopped, as they both kept gazing into the eyes of each other and before Austin could say anything Elda moved forward with her lips

Austin's eyes had 'struggle' within them, seemingly 'confused' on what to do but before he could react Elda had already placed her lips on his forehead, Austin closed his eyes as he felt Elda's kiss on his forehead, he felt his body melt as he felt Elda's kiss, her lips was softer than silk as they touched his skin

Her smooth skin rubbed against his skin, as she kept kissing his forehead for a few seconds after which she took her head back, as one of her hands moved towards his face, feeling it Austin opened his eyes as he saw the most happiest and content smile he ever saw on Elda's face appear

Her eyes which before held some hidden pain seemed to have found some answers while the feelings she hid from him was on full display, as her eyes and body screamed with affection for him, her smile turned sweeter as she spoke while rubbing his face

"Thank you big brother"

"For what?"

Austin asked to which her smile widened as she replied

"For everything, for protecting me, for helping me, for being my big brother, for being the light in my dark tunnel, for being there for me when I am at my lowest and…."

As she reached her last words she took a deep breath seemingly controlling her emotions, her eyes softened with undying love as she spoke the last words

"And for being the man I love and fell for"

Hearing Elda's last words Austin's eyes widened with 'disbelief' as his eyes started to move around 'erratically', Austin appeared to be extremely confused and in disbelief over Elda's words, he opened his mouth to speak as a strained smile took his face

"Do-Don't jo-joke like this E-Elda"

Austin looked desperate trying to hide his 'anxiety', but his words only seemed to assure some of Elda's doubts as she spoke with the same smile she had

"Don't worry big brother I will make sure that you will recognize your feelings too"

"W-What do you mean?"

Austin asked with a 'panicked' look but Elda didn't say anything, as she rose from his embrace, standing on the tree trunk as she took his hand, guiding him to a certain place, Austin didn't say anything as he let Elda guide him, he seemed to be in deep thought, seemingly contemplating something

And soon before Austin could react he seemed to be brought into a huge flower field, his eyes widened with surprises he gazed upon the beautiful sight, as far as the eye could see numerous number of beautiful flowers could be seen, while huge pink sakura like trees rose towards the sky, as their beautiful pink petals fell to the ground surrounding them with it

By now it was already night as the beautiful rainbow-like wave became clear as it floated above them, it was not the end as a large number of firefly like small creatures started to surround the flowers as they filled the area with blinking lights, the scene was right out of a painting as the beauty of nature all came together to give a breathtaking view that would make anyone open their eyes with surprise

"Care for a dance?"

As Austin stood there stunned a voice reached his ears as he turned towards Elda, who now stood in a Nobel ladylike manner as she asked him for a dance, Austin looked 'dazed' by all this but soon he shook his head and smiled as he gave his hand forwards for a dance, Elda too gave out her smooth hand as both of them joined together for a dance

Austin didn't know how but suddenly music started to play, it was both relaxing and enjoyable, and it somehow prompted his inner desire for dancing, Austin held Elda's waist with his one hand while the other one held Elda's hand, they looked at each other without saying a word as their dance began

Their body moved with rhythm, as they danced within the flower field, the pink petals kept falling to the ground, while the fireflies lit their night, they forgot about who they were and all their responsibilities as they freely danced within the flowers while enjoying each others company and it was then that Elda leaned forward and whispered some words into Austin's ears

"Big brother, what would you feel about me marrying someone?"

Elda's question was sudden but it got to him quickly, Austin's eyes widened with 'anger' but he quickly tried to 'hide' it but it was not useful as Elda saw it, her smile became bigger as she kept whispering into Austin's ears during the dance

"How would you feel big brother if you saw me happily hugging another man, maybe even kissing him?"

"How would you feel about me being married to anybody?"

"How would you feel about me having a family with some boy?"

The more Elda spoke the more 'twisted' Austin's gaze became, he looked like he was about to explode and he did

"NO!"

And with that their dance stopped as silence filled their surroundings, Austin's face was filled with complex emotions as he gazed at Elda, while Elda's eyes tuned loving as she looked deep into Austin's eyes and spoke

"Why? why did you get angry big brother?"

"I-I…"

Austin's entire look was extremely complex and saddened, seeing it a pang of pain and guilt passed Elda's eyes but she stayed sharp as she looked at the person she loved and asked again

"Why big brother? why are you getting angry?"

"Be-Becau-"

Austin didn't complete his words as he looked at Elda with hidden 'bitterness', she noticed it as she held his face and spoke

"I don't care brother, I don't care that we are family, I don't care about our connection, and I don't care about what people will say, all I care about is that I love you and I will never give up, what about you brother?"

Elda's words filled Austin's mind as some of his 'hesitation' disappeared, his mind cleared up as he gazed at Elda, soon his face turned into a loving one as he spoke

"Your right Elda I don't want to give you up and I will never give you up because I love you"

Hearing Austin's words, a single drop of tear left Elda's eyes, and soon Austin's hands moved as they interlocked around Elda's waist sticking her close to him, their face was centimeters apart as Austin moved forward catching Elda's lips in a kiss, as fine as the worlds softest self to the touch, that was the feeling that Austin felt as his lips interlocks with Elda,

His arms stayed strong as he kept her close while Elda's hands moved as she hugged him tightly unwilling to stay apart, Elda felt like she found her place as she pressed her lips to the one she loved, and as they stayed within their kiss, the fireflies around them still kept flying, as the petals fell from the sky

Now within this beauty, two forbidden lovers found themselves
