IMMORTALLY PROBLEMATIC

Chapter 5: With Me

Priscilla was completely shocked by what was going on. There was the punishment of memory loss, suffering for a thousand years even imprisonment, but Moss was chosing death for her. Prapai and Payu initially did not want to say anything but it was getting out of hand so they had to speak up. Prapai stood up first he looked directly at Moss turned to the rest of the Council and said “isn't that too cruel, her only crime was falling in love she didn't kill any human she didn't eat anyone you can't do this to her and not expect me to fight.” Payu stood up after this it was clear he was angry he looked at most looks back at the crowd that were in attendance looked at the Lord's Council. “ if you're going to punish her you better punish me as well because whatever punishment she gets, I want it too. She's my family and as for you Moss, you're despicable. How could you judge her because she refuses you. Isn't that just really low” Moss was furious. He stood up, looking exasperated turned to look at the men who suggested that she should be set free. He was appalled “who do you think you are to question my judgement when I'm always right Council I have never and will never use emotions to judge anyone these men accuse me falsely. It doesn't matter though because I stand by my judgement.” Prapai and Payu looked like they could kill him at that very moment. They held back for her sake so it didn't get worse than it already was. The major problem came when the man she saved and fell in love with thought he was immortal and started killing people in hopes that when he got healed he might live forever. Priscilla didn't stop healing him and the complaints became too much. Priscilla didn't know he was this kind of person and assumed he got the scars from manual work. Oh how was she wrong.

      ****************
Payu and Prapai were face to face with Moss who had clearly been demoted. On seeing him, they both laughed. More on Prapai's side because he had gone through extremes to make sure that Moss became a laughing stock in the Realms. Prapai paid a costly price but he was happy even though he lost something quite valuable to him. Both men were delighted their swords out, looking directly at him. Moss was well aware that if he engaged them he would lose woefully. He couldn't even fight then one on one talk less of together. So he looked at them smiled and said “I'm so sorry we met like this it was unintentional and I really wanted to see who was in my terrain. It's nice to see you again uhmmmm.... Prapai and Payu. Can we finally let bygones be bygones. As you can see I'm a changed person. When I was sentenced to serve in Priscilla's stead. I learnt my lessons and have come to the understanding that I was really cruel back then. Please find a place in your hearts to forgive me. "
Prapai looked at this man veins nearly popping out of his head. Moss had cost both men a lot of things and clearly he needed not forgiving. Prapai laughed heartily “ is this a comedy show? because I don't find it funny. Let bygones be bygones are you stupid? After everything you put us through. You took Priscilla away from her make sure our most prized possessions was taken away from us and now you ask for forgiveness. Can you give it back to us? We all make mistakes blah blah blah, but who cleans them up? What did you do to get forgiven to be able to still be alive, did you crawl on your face begging or did you sacrifice something dear to you for a chance to be alive. You're such an hypocrite. I take that back , at least hypocrites know when they are wrong. You brought the persons we are made to protect here they are still captive under Your spell. What if we didn't get here in time and they both died would you apologize again would you say you're sorry that it was an accident just the way you killed Priscilla was an accident as well, wasn't it? Prapai's eyes had changed and Moss knew this look very well. He shifted a bit and began to levitate. Payu could sense what was about to happen. Prapai wasn't going to listen, he wasn't going to hear anything,or he couldn't hear at all. He sent his sword forward. Payu needed to avoid confrontation. He looked around seeking for an answer. Payu called out his name “ Prapai, I beg you, don't do this. He's not worth it he will never be worth it. Are you really willing to sacrifice a thousand years just to kill him.”
Prapai turned to Payu there was this scornful look on his face and his reply was more piercing “ Says the person who wants to end his life. Says the person, who has thrown away everything he had worked for all his life his hopes, dreams, aspirations everything for a simple crush. Priscilla was everything to me as well and so were you but the fact that you're willing to take on this mission just to die. Payu, what was your reasoning?”
Payu knew his friend very well, and no matter what he said, it will be futile. Prapai was turned to Moss. He brought out his immortal rope and tied it to his waist. Pulling it with full force, Moss who was trying to wiggle his way out, was slammed with his back on the ground. Prapai took short strides, relishing the moment. He wore a frown on his face but he was enjoying every second of what was happening around him.  Payu faced Sky who was laying on the floor. He couldn't believe what he was about to do, but it was the only option he had. He held Sky gently on both hands, flew up with him to a certain distance in the sky and said “ I'm sorry young man, for using you like this, but I have no other choice.” he vanquished the spell that was on Sky so he woke up to a strange man holding him effortlessly with both hands. Before he could say anything Payu told him “ I need you to do one thing on your way down, scream Prapai.” Before Sky could even respond to this, he was dropped. From that height only his screaming could be heard. He had so many emotions all at once, the least was to shout for Prapai. He really was nearing his death before he closed his eyes and said “ Prapai, help me.” immediately Pai turned to his direction and without any premeditated thought whatsoever, he flew in front and caught Sky some inches before plummeting to his death.  Moss saw this as his cue to leave, as any second later he would be dead, but the bound of the immortal rope still held him still, till Payu flew down took the end of the rope and attached it to Prapai. It went back into Prapai's body. “ PAYU!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? ARE YOU CRAZY?”

“ PRAPAI, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S CRAZY, WERE YOU THINKING OF KILLING HIM?”
“ And if I was? He deserves to die, for sending us both to hell while we are still alive, haven't we had enough? Haven't we suffered enough?”
By this time Rain was already awake, he had seen everything that had happened, and so did Sky. They really were both "gods on Earth”. Rain was so scared, his heart was beating really fast. He curled up to a corner close to a tree. He closed his eyes thinking it was all a dream. Sky couldn't believe what he was seeing as well. He was still folded in Prapai's arms.
Prapai gentle kept Sky down and faced Payu, they were ranting and shouting at each other. It was such a scary sight to behold. They both reverted to their human forms. Sky crawled to where Rain was. It was the first time he was meeting him, and immediately knew they needed to be acquainted. As both men were screaming at each other, The other two were sneaking their way from their sights and ran away. They were able to get far to the road. That was when they saw cleared their eyes. They saw both men coming in front of them. Rain thought he was hallucinating until he checked properly and realized he was not.  He ran leaving Sky behind. He got pretty far and was panting. Payu appeared in front of him and this time with his hands stretched out said “ let me properly introduce myself to you. My name is Payu and I am the protector of the Arityl Realm.” Rain put his hand on his face, pinched it. He was sure he was not dreaming, he fainted.
Sky on the other hand knew a bit about Prapai. But watching him rage and his actual appearance, he was very conflicted and asked
“ Who are you actually?”
Both immortals looked at the boys in front of them, this was when the realization hit them, these boys were going to wreck their lives as a certain guilt came upon them. Eventually Rain woke up and Payu nodded and said “ I'll tell you everything.”
