" you can't kill your fellow immortal with a sword, did Payu brain get dull or what?"
She was well aware of this rule, getting stabbed did nothing to her. But it seems Payu had forgotten. There was also the use of a clone.  She was free from the plant but needed the help so she went to Priti " it's your chance to get revenge on them, just help me tell them where to meet you, I'll handle the rest." Priti nodded. He was wise enough to know that resisting her was equivalent to death so he obliged. During the forcefield process, Prapai was too focused on keeping the forcefield safe that he didn't turn around to check on Rain or Sky. They didn't fade away, they were just illusions.
Priscilla was finally free from the plant. She sent two men to take Rain and Sky. At the same time, Pai and Payu were mourning them. Priti was told to stall a bit before telling Pai and Payu where they were.
Priscilla went to the black market. A rare commodity to sell there was people, but what made Rain and Sky special was that they were both human. It was impossible for humans to be in their realm when they were alive. It just didn't make any sense whatsoever. So they were truly the definition of scarce. Priscilla was to sell them off but before doing that, she had to wipe their memories. They should have no thought or ideas about Prapai and Payu, no recollection. It should serve as enough punishment for them. Killing them would be good too but she thought about it again and decided against it. As long as Sky and Rain live, they should only have painful memories, the one she fed to them. So what she did next was to wipe off their memories and sold them off separately to two merchants in Carityl. Rain and Sky would never remember who they were or where they came from, they would not age, just live with the thoughts that they were nothing.
Priscilla was out for blood. The object of her obsession was Payu and she was going to do everything to get him to be with her, no matter what it is.
" Going once, going twice... Sold to the gentlemen." A merchant talked in the distance he turned to look at Priscilla. She had two men behind her holding two people on their shoulders. No one knew who she was as she had been gone for a very long time
" Ms, what do you want here."
" I want to sell this two men, they ran away with my goods and I caught them."
"Ms, they have to be something special before you can sell people like this. They look too ordinary."
" They are both humans." She whispered. The merchant smiled. They truly were rare commodities. This place was located in the darkest parts of Carityl. Pai had tried severally to get rid of the people here but had failed as they spawn up every other day. He left them to the High Police, but the High Police got bribed and continued to let them trade.
The merchant continued.
" I have rare items here. Humans."
The whole market became silent. It was an impossible phenomenon there and people wanted to see it. They came closer to check to be sure of what they were seeing. Murmurs from around the market came " it's impossible, how come?" " You're a liar!" Priscilla pacified the crowd and said. " They bleed. Human blood."
Everyone gasped. A man from the crowd shouted " show me!"
" Fine." She brought out a knife and cut Rain on the arm. Immediately blood dripped out, everyone went into a frenzy.
" Ten thousand for each of them..."
" A hundred thousand for each..."
" No three hundred thousand..."
Priscilla left with a big grin on her face. She had no interest to know how the bidding ended because she had a mission at hand. She was sure Rain and Sky would suffer, that was what she was sure of. The only thing she wanted was so close to her. She could taste it, taste him.
Priscilla observed Rain looked at him closely to the last mole on his body and transformed to him not leaving out any detail, she had been in his body silently observed him closely, she was not going to be at the losing end again.

Payu drew the sword out and pointed to Priscilla (Rain) "who are you."
" P'Payu, stop this you're making me scared."
" You're not Rain, you don't act like him."
" What do you want to know so you'd stop this madness."
" Where did we meet?"
" P'Payu, is this really necessary? Fine we met when I just got fired from my job, you asked me to work for you. I wrote in a piece of paper and I pasted it. I kept it when you went away, hoping you would come back for me. P'Payu can you stop pointing that to your lover." Payu instantly made the sword disappear " I'm sorry, really sorry, I just thought..."
" I know, we've been through so much together that I can't even explain but as long as we are together we'll be fine."
Payu smiled he went to his bedside sat on the floor and placed his head on Rain's lap. He stroked it ever so gentle. Priscilla could not contain her joy. Payu could not hear if Rain was in trouble anymore because she cut the ties that bound them when the plant came out of their bodies. She felt so content. She told Payu to sleep beside her as she cuddled up to him. Payu hugged her tightly.

" My appetite changed, so I like noodles now."
" Okay, I'll get you a bowl."
" Thanks babe." kissing Pai on the cheek. He finally let him go and went to the couch to watch television. Pai cooked and brought it to Sky who ate happily. They watched the movie together in silence with a bit of touching here and there.
" This is nice."
" It really is. I love you so much."
Pai bent and gave Sky a kiss which he reciprocated.

The highest bidder took Sky and Rain. One from Arityl Sublime. That was a place in Arityl that inhabited only the wealthiest of elites. He ended up bargaining for Rain at twenty million. The other was also from Arityl Sublime and had fun too. They initially came to get a rare relic but ended up buying people instead. They carted them away. In the merchant's existence he had never made so much money before as he did today for two people.
Rain woke up first looked around and for a split second his mind asked " where's P'Payu?"
Sky had the same experience but asked instead " where's my lover?"
They both had no memories just regret. His hand was bandaged.
The boys stared at the humans for a while, they were intrigued and fascinated at the same time but had the same thoughts " these humans were indeed handsome."

The Lord Council Head lady had finished her battle and headed back. She was at war for over two years. She was able to drive the forces back and returned to her castle.
