The Reinactment
After Kian, a simple man living in Bretannia, was abducted, enslaved and bought by a man called Giuseppe he was immediately brought to his new master’s home. Arriving there he was told to meet with Giuseppe's wife, a young girl who supposed to show him around and explain his new work and living situation to him. To Kian’s surprise: the wife he was talking about is actually a boy and, just like him, a victim of Elemental Trafficking. Even though their master keeps calling him by an old-fashioned girl name, the boy asks Kian to call him by his real name: Skye.

Due to his strong build Kian caught their master’s eye and is supposed to work at his forestry, together with a few more men of a similar build. Not even spending a whole day at his new home, Kian is already eager to escape, not for his own wellbeing but because of his five year old son Rio, who is left all alone now back in Bretannia. Hearing the story, Skye wants to help Kian escape, luring Giuseppe to go out on a date with him, making him leave the property for a while. Sadly, Kian is caught by the guards when he clumsly tried to escape, receiving great punishment by his master after he got back home with Skye. After beating Kian up, he threw the hurt man into the cottage used as a sleeping place for all other slaves. Feeling guilty for not being able to do more Skye stays with Kian as long as possible, making sure he doesn’t feel too scared alone in such a miserable place. After a while he has to leave, being scared of his master’s reaction for being gone too long as well but promises Kian to take care of him from now on.

The next day Kian is called inside the house, being met by his master and Skye. Of course, he’s still angry about what Kian tried to do, seeing him as a useless slave and a waste of his money. He threatens to sell him again but Kian suggests he could do the housekeeping and cooking instead, being quite skilled at it. Giuseppe reluctantly agrees and lets Kian work inside from now on. Skye says he’s relieved that Kian doesn’t have to leave again he can keep a better eye on Kian’s wellbeing and work towards a solution on freeing him. A few days later Giuseppe invites his business partners for a meeting. Among them is Rosenberg, the owner of a wooden furniture manufacture, who immediately finds a liking in Kian. Interested in him Rosenberg doesn’t leave him alone and even attacks him as soon as he got hold of him without Skye. As soon as Rosenberg was gone, Skye reunites with Kian and promises to protect him from now on, even doing his best to calm him down: going as far as giving Kian a kiss on his forehead.

A few days later the two meet Miris, a young man with the power to sense the auras of those around him. He was badly injured with a big splinter in his hand and Skye was called to take care of his wounds. Miris already liked Kian from the moment they met, because he resembles his deceased older brother to him, with his kind and caring nature. When Kian asked him about Skye, Miris tells him that Skye actually scares him, since he seems to be in more trouble than he shows.

With the days stuck in their hopless situation passing by, Skye messes up over and over again in attempts to protect both Kian and himself from the torture of being the two Elementals closest to their master. Unwilling to accept that his perfect wife would do anything like that, Giuseppe keeps blaming Kian for everything up to the point that he grows sick and tired of having him around. Remembering Rosenberg’s interest in Kian he calls him, willing to sell him to the vile man who gladly accepts his offer, wanting to marry Kian after four weeks passed.



After hearing the agreement between the two men Skye grows furious with rage, screaming at his master and acting up in ways he never did before. Sick of it, his master grabs him by the neck and throws him into a nearby drawer, breaking his arm and telling Kian to get him out of his eyes. For the first time since Skye and Kian have been in this hell, their master referred to Skye as male. Kian helps the crying Skye up and brings him to the cottage, knowing that he isn’t save inside the house while their master is this upset with him. He does his best to stabilize the broken arm with bandages, telling Skye that he has to be careful with his arm so it can fully heal. Despite the pain Skye seems to be lost in thought, not reacting much to Kian’s words. He spends the night with the other slaves to make sure their master doesn’t hurt him any futher. The next morning, both Skye and his master seems to act like nothing happened, a disturbing sight for Kian.

Despite his broken arm Skye still does his best to help the other slaves with Kian supporting him in his work. After a while Rosenberg shows up again, wanting to check on his future husband and even gives him a silver ring, coincidentally similar to the one Skye wears. Skye, eager to protect Kian, forces himself between the two and doesn't ever leave Kian's side, completely ignoring his own safety. After a while he grabs Kian's hand and runs away with him, followed by Rosenberg who seems fed up with Skye’s childish behavious at this point. Desperate Skye starts hiding Kian away in the bathroom, who’s only begging Skye to stop acting like this when nothing happened at all. Rosenberg who quickly understood what Skye was trying to do, grabbed him when he found him outside the bathroom, pinning him to the wall and kicks him in the stomach at full force, almost breaking his ribs. In fear of Skye getting even more injured, Kian gets out of the bathroom, reluctantly telling Rosenberg to leave the two alone. Amused by the sight, he lets go of Skye and actually leaves the two, knowing his violence will have no consequences.

Skye, who’s injured and crying tells Kian to get their master immediately, wanting im to know what just happened to him. Kian brings Skye into the bedroom and leaves to get their master. Joined by the two men Skye tells the story under tears only to be told that he’s just a clumsy little girl who fell and hit her head. After that their master leaves, saying he still has to take care of their guest. Skye devastated and disappointed in his master’s words can't seem to calm down, even trying to follow their master. This behaviour leaves Kian speechless, who just can't understand why Skye wants his master to love and cherish him so badly, when it was clear from the start that this was never the case. The interactions of the two have been tense since but despite this, Kian took good care of Skye, hoping he’d feel better soon.

Surprisingly, Rosenberg wants to apologize to Skye for hurting him and invites him, their master and of course Kian to his home a few days later. As soon as they arrive the situation started to escalate like it did a few days before with Skye acting even more frantic than that day. Not being able to see the same thing happen again Kian agrees to spend the evening with Rosenberg. Shocked and feeling betrayed Skye yells at Kian that he hates him and should just stay here if he enjoys it so much, leaving the two behind and searching for comfort in his master's arms. Enjoying the emotional turmoil Rosenberg caused the both of them he lets Kian go. After having dinner the three leave, with Skye ignoring Kian the whole time. The next day, realizing what actually happened and what he said to Kian Skye apologizes, saying he regrets the things he said to him, ending his apology with saying that he actually loves Kian and in no way hates him. Kian, feeling the same for Skye, accepted both his apology and confession. Happy about finding love in such a place they shared their first kiss in secret, making sure nobody finds out about how close they have become.



After a few days passed their master brought in three new Elementals to work for him. Unlike the other slaves these three are aggressive and mean, attacking both Miris and Kian for fun. Worried, Skye asks his master to tell the three slaves to stop misbehaving, who refused to do so. Clearly he doesn’t care about what the three men were up to as long as all other slaves are still able to do their work. Desperate to help Miris, Kian asks his master to call Roseberg and lets him speak with him. Not knowing what Kian was planning he agrees and calls his business partner, knowing he’d enjoy talking to his future husband. Giving Kian the phone he tells him about his broken nose and who caused it, much to the dismay of Rosenberg. Giving the phone back to his master Rosenberg talks with him and forces him to take care of the situation. Not wanting to lose his business partner he finally gets up and tells the three new slaves to stay in line and leave the other workers alone or else they’d be met by harsh punishment. Skye took it very personal that Kian didn't tell him his plan beforehand, but quickly forgives Kian, knowing it was for the best to protect both him and Miris, finally learning that he doesn’t have to bear all the responsibility himself.

Only a few days left before Kian is supposed to marry Rosenberg Skye had a request for him: he wants to sleep with Kian to at least feel this intimacy with him once before their ways part. Kian agreed, knowing that it might really be his last time together with Skye. Waiting for their master to finally leave, the two have a short affair. On the same evening Skye begins to panic in fear of what will happen to both him and Kian after the marriage. He yells at their master and tells him how he’s a horrible, manipulative and vile person and he wishes him to just drop dead even if he has to do it himself. Amused by Skye’s breakdown he remembers him of the role of the perfect wife, locking him into the bedroom for the remaining time until Kian's marriage, separating the couple seemingly forever.

On the last evening Skye and Kian are saved by Eevan and Miki, who by now were a successful team of Freedom Fighters and heard the rumours about the foestry workers being all victims to Elemental Traders. Miki stops their master from attacking both Skye and Kian by restraining him with vines and Eevan, by Kian's request, brakes down the bedroom door to Skye. After bring freed Skye desperately wants to see his master one last time trying to make sense of all his suffering, but Suicune, who came along on the mission in case someone needed a healer, stops him with a magic spell, making Skye too calm and tired to think about it anymore.

In the hospital both get emergency therapy from Devido, who recommends them to keep seeking help in the future. Soon Kian’s sister with Rio shows up, hearing the news about her brother not being missing anymore. Finally, Kian and Rio were united again. Skye, nervous about what Rio might think about him starts smiling again for the first time since weeks, amused by Rio being curious about his very long ears, even trying to grab them when Kian lifts his son up to introduce him to Skye.

Not knowing where to go Kian invites Skye to live with him and Rio- who happily agrees to it. A new life together is about to start for the small family, leaving their time in slavery behind.
