Incest The King's Last Wish

[neerathemall]

Heather and Jonathan looked at each other, eyes wide with shock as realization hit them hard. Even before looking at the next mural, they knew what it said. It showed Charuvaki playing with a young boy in a garden. The inscription read -

Queen Charuvaki with her son, Prince Aditya Dev.

Heather squeezed Jonathan's hand as she took in this new information. The next mural showed Aditya Dev being crowned king on the palace balcony. The next one depicted the wedding of Aditya Dev with his mother, Charuvaki. The inscription read -

King Aditya Dev and Queen Charuvaki joined in holy matrimony in accordance with the king's new law which states - 'Consensual sexual relationship between adult kin is henceforth legalized throughout Tosali. Such unions are also eligible to be solemnized.'

The wall ended with the mural depicting Charuvaki's death, 28 years later.

Heather and Jonathan moved to the final wall which started with the mural showing King Aditya Dev overseeing the construction of the temple. The next image showed the temple's inauguration. The inscription read -

The temple inauguration on the wedding anniversary of the king and queen. King Aditya Dev establishes the late Queen Charuvaki as a goddess to be worshipped in the temple. The day is henceforth to be celebrated as a joyous festival, commemorating the late queen. The king invites all familial couples in Tosali to congregate in the temple grounds every year, to celebrate the festival through carnal activities.

The next mural was the last one and the largest of them all. It showed a view of the festival celebrations on the temple ground as seen from within the temple's first floor landing. Scores of couples laid on the ground where ever they pleased, engaged in various sexual positions.

Heather gasped as she recognized the scene from her dream the night before. Somehow, she had been shown a vision of the past where she had seen the festival celebrations within the temple. She looked around and sure enough she could make out the weathered stone walls and pillars were the same from her dream. She remembered the naked couples making love. The young girl riding an older man. The young man pumping into a mature woman. They were father-daughter and mother-son! I witnessed real incestuous sex!

Suddenly, she felt elated, as if a huge burden had been lifted off her heart. Everything became clearer in her mind. She had been a young girl when she had fallen in love with Thomas and vowed to be his, forever, accompanying him across the world. He had been her first and only love. But to find her true love after all these years in a distant land, far from home, was divine providence. Jonathan, her own son, her flesh and blood, was her true love. Her journey of discovery and accepting her son as her lover had led her straight to this very temple built to celebrate incestuous love. Was it a mere coincidence? She didn't think so. It was fate. It was her destiny.

She looked at Jonathan, who was still engrossed in the mural. She no longer saw only her son. She saw her lover, her man, her true soul mate. In this temple of incest, she was finally ready to take their relationship to the next phase, to cross the threshold that very few mothers get to do. She turned around to look at the statue of Charuvaki. The sun was on its way down into the western horizon and orange sunlight streamed onto the statue. The queen's visage was mesmerizing; an angelic beauty. Heather felt a strong bond towards the long dead queen.

You felt these emotions for your son, too, didn't you? Thank you for leading me here and opening my eyes. What I was searching for all these years had always been by my side. I was just too blind to see him.
