Chapter 59: What Stupid Pride?
"Stop with your crap old man. I am already in a very bad mood this morning. " The youngster said.
The old man didn't say anything anymore and simply watched the youngster go away. He walked along the street and found a random spot beside the street and sat there crossed leg. He put the flag beside him to lean against the wall and he spread a mat on the ground and laid many things on it.
His small counter was ready. The mat had many colourful stones, rings, some old looking scrolls and a crystal ball in the middle. He was an astrologer.
The old man looked very ordinary and there was nothing extraordinary about him. He had long white beard which touched the middle of his chest. He wore a black turban made of a simple looking black cotton type material. It was a very common piece of clothing the poor wore. He had a black cloth of similar material wrapped around his upper body. His lower abdomen was seen a little. He had very well defined set of lower abs. From the looks of it, he seemed very fit.
The fit muscular old man was also wearing black pants of the same material and he wore ordinary looking slippers on his feet. After he set up his stall, he sat in a meditative position, waiting for any coustomer to come to him.
Ever since Lilith was born, destiny of all beings had become a little uncertain. After she reached Legendary rank, fate couldn't be calculated anymore and thus destiny couldn't be measured. Everything was uncertain since half a million years.
Astrologers couldn't do their own jobs properly and thus they went onto a decline as people didn't sought out their services. Now, there were only a few astrologers like the old man who roamed the streets of the world. They were all poor people and looked like beggars. They were usually scammers or people who used psychological tricks to help people for a price.
Therefore, the youngster, was informed on not to get scammed by such people. It's been a long time and information about such scammers were out in open. Even a child wouldn't go to such people for anything. So when the old man said those words, the youngster instantly thought he was there to scam him and was talking a load of crap and made him scram away rudely.
The muscular and lean old man who was sitting in a meditative position was observing something. Yes, he was observing something with his eyes closed.
With his eyes closed, he had a clear view of the youngster who he talked to.
The youngster was walking through the streets in an irritated way. He was in a bad mood since morning. He walked aimlessly around and bumped into a girl. He had bumped his head in the girl's bosoms and the girl fell down to the sudden collision. She got up and yelled
"What the fuck do you think you are doing, bastard?"
The girl attacked him after saying that. The youngster who was already irritated got even more angry. This girl didn't even wait for him to apologise and was being so unreasonable he thought. He didn't want to be beat down by a girl so he attacked her too. They were now in a fight and he beat the girl up a little. Her face had taken a hit and it was swollen. She said in a rage
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
The people passing heard it and watched the show with great interest. A man burly man came and looked at the fight because he heard a familiar voice. He found a familiar girl with a swollen face fighting. He got into rage as he saw someone attack her. He went in the fight and hit a punch to the youngster's spine causing him to die instantly.
The girl looked at the man who had made a sudden appearance and smiled. She went up to him and hugged him and said
"Darling, thankyou."
The man didn't say anything and took the girl away. He would listen to her explanations later when he treated him, he thought.
Thus, the youngster who was warned by the astrologer was now dead.
The old man opened his eyes and smiled. He muttered in a low voice
"Earthlings sure are an interesting bunch. He was in a bad mood just because he reincarnated into a body of a peasant a few days ago and from the memories of the dead guy, he realised he was in a lot of debt and now died stupidly like that."
The old man packed up his things and roamed the streets again with a flag that read 'Destiny'.
...
Red Leaver city, Nightingale.
Lith and Lucy had finished their food and were done talking. Lucy wrapped her hands around Lith's waist and hugged him while making him sit on her lap. Lith, although didn't like getting treated like this, didn't mind because it was his big sister.
He had many thoughts to dominate his mother and big sister and not be treated like a baby in front of them and be a real man but then he shoved those thoughts away after he realised how much they loved him. He had the mindset that letting them dominate him and not the other way around would hurt his pride but on second thought, why was it so? Why would it hurt his pride? He asked himself.
After thinking a lot, he had a change in himself. He realised that it would hurt if it were someone else other than this mother or sister who were to dominate him. His mother and sister had both taken care of him since his birth and they also loved him a lot, no other woman could take their place and do something like this even if she wanted to.
Thus, he thought again that, what's the point of thinking about stupid pride when these two are the sole reason as to why I can keep my head so up. If it weren't for his mother who gave him birth and also because of her power that he got the all elemental affinity and his sister who trained him for ten years without any selfish reason, he wouldn't be in any position to keep his head so high and stand tall among others.
So, these two, who gave their all to him, why should he have any such stupid thought of getting his pride hurt in front of them? What reason was there? You are a man, so you should man up and not let woman dominate you? What bullshit reasoning was this? He was disgusted at his own thoughts and at himself.
Lith made up his mind. In front of these two ladies, who had given their all to him and never asked for anything back, he swore that he would never have such stupid thoughts again and he would try to love them even more than they do to him.
He made up his mother and sister as the first priority. He put them even before himself and he would not care about any such thing as pride in front of them and let them do whatever they wanted with him. He would still love them unconditionally even if they tried or did some weird things on him.
They could dominate him all they want or even make him their play thing, he wouldn't care. Though the chances of that happening are a solid zero. They loved him and would never do something so stupid to him. This unconditional love of theirs to him, who they considered as a son/brother was not something he had gotten even in his previous life. He was truly touched by their feelings for him and he happily thought to himself that he had the best mother and sister.
Lucy looked at Lith who was in a daze, overthinking again. She smiled and just caressed his hair and didn't say anything. She let him do what he wanted and didn't disturb his thoughts. Her little brother only had one problem about him, it was his overthinking. He would be in a daze for no reason and overthink. Her mom and her had tried a lot to change it but it didn't change, so they gave up.
It was not too big of a problem so they gave up and let him be. Lith woke up from his train of thoughts and found himself getting caressed. He turned around and snuggled into her bosoms and lay comfortably. He was like a koala attached to a tree now.
Lucy smiled at his actions. She had a thought after looking at him snuggling like that. She pushed him away a little from her and took out an oversized black hoodie and a comfy grey track pant from her spatial ring. She got up and removed her black dress. She was only in her underwear now. She wore the hoodie and the track pant and sat back down. Lith looked all of these actions of his big sister and was surprised at how bold she had gotten.
Lucy then pulled Lith towards herself and then put him inside her hoodie. Lith was amazed by her actions and he happily complied with it. Lucy, when she saw Lith hugging her like that, remembered the idea which she saw online. She was going through various things to do with family and lovers and found one of these ideas there. Thus looking at him hugging her brought that thought in her mind to try it out.
Lith felt his big sister's bra on his face when he lay his head on her big breasts. He unhooked it from behind and removed it. He lay there again but this time it was his clothes making a hindrance. He got out and removed his shirt and got into Lucy's hoodie again and lay comfortably on her big boobs now. He had his arms wrapped around her body.
Lucy smiled and patted his head. They stayed in that position and talked for a few hours. They stopped when they saw that the crimson hue had gone from the silver moon. They stood up and Lucy cast 'Provincial Jump' and teleported to Queen's peak directly with him. They watched the stars together and slept in each other's embrace comfortably on the peak.
The day was over happily just like that.
