Payu lay with Rain. He arranged the room, clean up the mess the ex had caused and little by little the memories were coming back to him. The restaurant, their first meeting, their talks all through the night. He held his hands by his side. It was his smell, it was so familiar to Payu. He was still so handsome, he was still so gentle. Payu knew he would have to win Rain over again, and it might take some time. He had to get his life back. He went downstairs to check if any of the houses were vacant. A pent house was. Payu rushed to get it. Filled it, he did this in the span of five hours. He needed to return to Rain's room and act like his saviour. Unfortunately he had locked himself out of the apartment. He couldn't just appear inside so he needed a good story before Rain woke up. He had what to say and broke Rain's lock. Carried him to his own apartment. His story was clear now. Hours later, Rain woke up, his injuries covered and he was in another person's apartment. He screamed which led Payu to run to meet him
They both stared at each other differently, Payu with hearts in his eyes while Rain had a completely different look.
"Who are you?"
"Before you freak out I'll explain,My name is Payu, I just moved into this place today,I missed my way and ended up on your floor, as I was going back down I heard the screams from your room, I knew it was dangerous so I tried opening the door, but it was futile so I broke your locks, I'm sorry for that first of all. I beat up the guy and sent him to the police. I cleaned up your injuries. I thought of leaving you at your apartment then I remembered I had broken the lock, so I brought you here."
" How did you carry me?"
" Bridal style, you're quite light."
" Thanks... What's your name again."
" Payu."  Rain felt his heartbeat fasten. He turned around so he wouldn't be noticed, as Payu stepped closer to him, he felt overwhelmed as he was handsome, really handsome. He also felt familiar too.

Moss had used Prapai's sword and hand to stab Sky. Luckily for Sky, Pai had a bit of hesitation so it didn't cut into him too deep. Pai pushed Moss aside and asked
" What's wrong with you?
" Kill Sky, kill him now." Moss realised too late that he had mentioned Sky's name to Prapai. The name caused a bolt of electricity to encapsulate Prapai. Something just felt different as her rushed to Sky and turned his face towards him. Prapai instantly found himself crying. He held Sky close to his chest. His memories were not quite there yet, but he knew the person he was holding was very dear to him. What had he done? Prapai's eyes widened and he breathing was frantic. Sky wasn't moving. He tossed the sword aside and for the first time in three years, he called his name " Sky... Sky... Nong Sky khab, wake up, please wake up." Moss plan had backfired, rather than getting Prapai for himself, he had reversed the mind control on Prapai. He needed to leave at once. He tried to disappear but unknown to him a bounty was put on his head so wherever he was, he would be stuck there. He tried several times but no way. He screamed to be set free, but nothing happened. That was when The Lord Council Head appeared. She came with several Lord's behind her. She didn't even call for a Lord's Council as she felt there was no need. Moss crimes were too enormous to be overlooked anymore. She brought out her sword and walked towards him, her steps were precise and determined. There was no smile on her face.  She made a decree as she walked
" Hear me all Realms, I hereby end the life of Immortal Moss,for all his crimes, no one is permitted to plead on his behalf. He would not have a funeral, he will not be mourned. He has poisoned my Lord's, he has deterred justice several times. He wants to play a god, but he has lost his privilege to be an Immortal. He will not be reincarnated. Hear me!" Moss was not given the opportunity to beg for his life as she sent little pins, to his body, a total of a thousand, inserted in his body at once. Moss screamed loudly. She stared at him and said " you're not loud enough."  She manipulated each pin into his body moving at her command, killing him slowly from the inside as her sword sliced his head off his body. It rolled on the ground. Her eyes were ice cold, so cold that the people behind her could not go close. Moss body turned to ash as it faded away. It was only then she saw Prapai holding Sky in his arms. He had already healed all his injuries from the fall, but the one he stabbed him couldn't be healed even by him. When she came closer, that was when Prapai could even acknowledge her presence
" Please help me, I don't know what else to do, it was an....an accident and I didn't know who he was... As the memories keep coming back, I've made a grave mistake."
She signalled the people behind her with her hands and they all disappeared. She went closer and asked " can I see the injury?"
Prapai lifted Sky to show the injury to her. When she saw it, she gasped. She looked back at him
" How did this happen."
" Moss got a hold of my sword and dragged my hand to stab him."
" Is he still breathing?
" Barely, what do I do? Please tell me, I'll do it, I beg you." Prapai sitting with Sky brought back all the memories, till he got the one they slept together. He felt cold shivers, it was clear he loved this man. As he would never give himself to anyone, no matter who. It was quite chilly outside so he took him inside, his breathing was really bad, he took him to his bed, with the Lord Council lady following closely behind. He placed him on the bed.
" What do I have to do to save him, I'll do it."
" Prapai, I don't think you're willing to go that far for him. I think, I'm sorry to say, you will have to let him go."
" P'Mia, is this how it felt letting Priscilla go? Because I can't do it again. I couldn't save her then, but I have to save my Sky now. Then we were so powerless. But look at you now, Lord Council Head, making decrees. Moss took her away, and now he wants to take Sky from me, I beg you , help me. For the fact that he has a piece of Priscilla in him, a piece of your sister, please do something, anything." Prapai got on his knees giving her a Wai.
She felt distraught. She knew what he needed to do, but the price to save someone by your sword was quite grave and only the best survive it.
" Nong Prapai, there's only one way for you to save him, but it would cost you too much."
" Anything P'Mia, I'll do it."
" Pai, are you sure, what if it costs you your life."
" As far as he lives."
" Prapai, do you really know what you're saying. You've lived so long as a protector, he's mortal, he'll die, he'll pass away, you'll live longer than him, are you willing to give that up for a trivial...."
" I thought it was trivial too, I thought it would pass too, but with the memories, and I know I did all these things with him. Yes, I'm willing to give it all up for him, Sky is worth it, everything.

"Fine, the punishment is a life for a life. Your sword is a lifetime. But it has been with you for close to twenty lifetimes so that's how powerful it is, you'll have to cut yourself with it twenty times and experience the pain of every lifetime it had cut. That is the only way the giver of the swords would let you do whatever you want, even saving a life for the one you want. Prapai, it's not going to be easy, Do you love this man enough to do this?"
" Please watch him for me. I'll be back." Prapai didn't even think of it. The sword had thousand of lives on it. He was to experience the pain of every single one. Prapai went to his quiet room after asking his servant to take care of Sky. The room was sound proof and huge. Prapai knelt down held the sword in his hand, closed his eyes and cut himself on his hand. The scream he let out caused a lightening in the sky.
