THE SIGN EPISODE 8 – WANWISA'S WARNING
We've been told before in The Sign that the 15th day of the 11th waxing moon is a date that is especially significant and powerful for the nagas.
The last day of the Buddhist Rains Retreat (also called Buddhist Lent by some), this date (Wan Ok Phansa) is mentioned by nagini Wansarut to Phaya's previous garuda incarnation at Ep.8 [3/4] 8.37 as the date when the Buddha returned to the human world "from the second heaven where Indra dwells", and the nagas and naginis breathed out fireballs in his honor.
And this is why the Naga Fireball Festival is also held around the time of Wan Ok Phansa.
Separately, at Ep.3 [3/4] 12.26 (when Tharn and Phaya explore the Dinphiang Cave) Sand's voiceover also recounts the legend of the naga princess who is compelled to return to her watery homeland underground on the date of Wan Ok Phansa (the 15th day of the 11th waxing moon, or the last day of Buddhist Lent), and loses her human lover in the process.
So Chalothorn must have been biding his time for this particularly auspicious date to come around, when he would finally be empowered to take back his betrothed nagini princess, and break the connection once and for all between garuda Phaya and naga Tharn/Wansarut (and is the gist of Wansarut's golden nagini sister Wanwisa's warning).
Chalothorn must have been attempting to kill Phaya from early on in order to prevent him from obstructing the greater scheme of reclaiming Wansarut/Tharn from the reincarnation cycle and reinstating his nagini's semi-divine status, away from the garuda.
But of course all attempts on Phaya's life by Chalothorn were futile, as he was under the protection of Tharn's nagini-soul amulet (that the Thai subtitles also call a naga gem, akin to Wansarut's heart) – the physical embodiment of Wansarut's dying vow to protect her beloved garuda throughout all future reincarnations:
Wansarut's vow here also reveals the supernatural impetus behind all the times Tharn saved Phaya's life earlier, e.g., during the Ep.1 mock-hostage rescue and open water challenge, the encounter with the masked Molotov knife-man in Ep.4, and the battle with the tattooed serial killer in Ep.5. 😢
It's consistently been the bigger, macho Phaya being saved by the smaller, slighter Tharn/Wansarut. And this is just one of the many ways that The Sign has been bucking expectations of a Thai BL series. 🤩 But come the next Wan Ok Phansa it will be time for Phaya to prove his worth in return, and battle to save his fated lover Tharn/Wansarut from the clutches of the possessive naga Chalothorn instead. 😔

You know what makes me a bit feral. In theory, Wansarut turned herself into a man, went to the human world, and fell in love with a man. Part A being we love a gender defying them. Gender is an illusion, especially if you're a magic sea serpent.
But then, Part B, when being reincarnated, she became the male version of herself. Almost as if in her deepest heart, she wanted to make sure she'd be found by her love who loved her as a man. Or maybe that her male self is the truest representation of herself.
So, really, sometimes reincarnated lovers are a demi-pansexual non-binary (or trans) snake princess and their bisexual bird brain prince and that's good.
(I'm only using gendered pronouns because we don't know how Wansarut felt about being either gender)

i spent the 3rd part of the 8th episode of the sign mouth agape, with tears streaming down my face and my hands tensed while covering my heart. was conscious of it when the part ended and had to click the next part. i was wholeheartedly invested in Master Garuda and Wansarut's story to the point of feeling physical pain. i have no way to tell why i felt it and cried more than the moment Tharn was holding a lifeless Phaya, while screaming his lungs out to the point of losing his voice. it's abnormal of me. the 'me' i thought i knew would fall much harder for Tharn and Phaya's reality then for Master Garuda and Wansarut. but i don't. at least at the moment. and right now i need them. i need their past life where everything started. i am going insane. i feel so vulnerable tbh
#i need a whole series about them#can someone write a fic about it? i need to know the between of their first encounter and them hugging while leaning on the tree!!#i feel sick#the sign the series#master garuda x wansarut#phaya x tharn

Have we considered that maybe Chalothorn just let Tharn go because he got bored? Like, imagine going from having an arch enemy and a princess to chase after to just... hanging around with this naga who isn't even good company because he's pining for the fjords his human lover all day.
I think Chalothorn is gonna go after them again. But in the future he's gonna make sure to never actually catch them.
#this thought was brought to you by my brain imagining chalothorn trying to get wansarut and wanwisa to play that game from scoy with them#kung kung kung king king king#who has to pursue wansarut#oh it's me again#what a coincidence#*tharn groaning*#the sign the series#chalothorn

But like, Wansarut was such a baller. She came across the god who has been killing her kind since forever, like it's his whole personality, wounded and falling about, and she said: I'll save him.
So set in her beliefs was she that she said: all lives matter, even yours. No wonder he fell for her. She has way bigger cojones than him.

Tangled Fates
Part 2
A Phaya x Tharn fic about their past life as Sapuna and Wansarut.
GIF by @25shadesoffebruary || Original Post by creator is here
a/n - As a desi, this series has captured my heart with the mythology and storytelling! So I wrote this fic as I believe this backstory was one of the best in BL! This happens right after Sapuna is saved by Wansarut and left on the riverside. All of this is my imagination this is not from the book as i haven't read it yet. A lot of this is inspired from indian and thai mythological stories that my grandparents would tell me (shakuntala, nala-damyanti, radha-krishna, etc)Some terms might be difficult to understand so I have underlined them and provided a guide at the end for them.
The Sign series spoilers ahead!
---/---/---
Leaning back on the tree bark under the night sky, Sapuna winced as he tried to calm down. He took shallow breaths while pain coursed through his body. Within a single day, he had been bitten by Prince Chalothorn, thrown from the skies, almost died from Naga venom, and saved by a Nagini.
He was experiencing the after effects of detoxification. His eyesight was weakened, he couldn’t see the infinite like he used to. Is this what human vision is like? How do they manage to live like this?
He closed his eyes in frustration, trying to get some rest so he could gain strength to go back to the battlefield. He was worried that his brothers and sisters were searching for him. But the image of Prince Chalothorn flying towards his army in his serpent form worried him more. He wasn’t even in Garuda Lok. Everywhere he looked he found huge trees and dense forests. The shallow river on whose bank he sat was clear and cold, he craved for the warmth that was native to his kingdom.
This was Naga Lok, or somewhere near it. Nagas were territorial. They would never wander far from their home.
The Nagini earlier was proof of it.
“You will not be safe here.” Her eyebrows scrunched, she gazed at him with a blend of curiosity and caution.
“And why should I believe you?” Garuda retaliated with anger, looking at her legs that were still in the water, her territory, ready to run in case he attacked.
“I extracted all the venom but I can’t help with the after effects. You should return to your kingdom and let the vaidyas heal you.” She pleaded, looking around. “You will be killed if you stay here.”
The Lady turned away from him to face the water, and he flinched in habit when she turned into a serpent and dived into the water.
Did she go away to warn him? Will she be back? Why did she help him?
He could now hear the rumble in his stomach as if it were the roar of a lion. He remembered the lavish banquet he had shared with his clan before the war. In spite of his best efforts, Sapuna couldn't help but think about the delicacies he had been served just a day earlier.
Another sound echoed through the forest at the moment, the simmering sound of bangles. Sapuna sat up abruptly, on alert. He looked around but saw no one.
Was the Nagini back to finish me off?
Something brushed against his hand. Without his divine vision it took him a while to see what was in front of him in the moonlight.
It was a lotus leaf filled with berries, fruits, and edible flowers from the wild. His hunger only grew as he smelled the freshly picked mangoes, and throwing all caution to the wind, he dived in. Halfway through, his eyes caught a movement in the water.
He lifted his head to see a blur of green and gold; the same as the Nagini's clothes.
---/---/---
The sound of Wansarut’s bangles echoed through the plains as she picked the fruit. She chose the mangoes carefully for the injured Garuda. She saw how he ate the mangoes happily yesterday, they seemed to be of his liking. What do Garudas eat anyway? She has heard about them eating serpents since she was young. It sent a shiver down her spine. She will simply leave the food like she did yesterday and won’t talk to him. The quicker his health improves, the sooner he will leave.
She gained her composure, and took off her anklets and bangles and kept them by the riverside. She almost got caught yesterday. She saw a fawn and its mother drinking water by her side. Smiling, she said in their tongue, "Keep them safe for me now, will you?” The fawn nodded, standing guard over her jewels with its tiny form.
She got into the water, smiling back at the fawn. Spending time with wild animals in this forest has always been her joy. This place was the divide between Naga Lok and the human world, a place she accidentally stumbled upon while wandering in the woods. It felt like a hidden haven, known only to her; a sanctuary where she felt safe.
She surfaced by the bank where she had left the Garuda, quietly approaching the tree where he had fallen. There, she delicately placed the lotus leaf, ready to run away the second she placed it on the ground.
"Why are you here?"
Wansarut screamed as the heavy voice echoed behind her, causing the food to fly from her hands and land on the ground. Startled, she turned to find the Garuda staring at her with an unpleasant expression. Although color had returned to his skin, and he no longer appeared pale, his armor was still stained with blood. Other than that, he seemed to be in good health.
“Do you often save your enemies and treat them with mangoes?" Sapuna inquired, a strange sensation in his chest as he observed her green attire and flowing hair.
---/---/---
"Do you make a habit of lurking in the shadows to frighten others?" the Nagini screamed once more, eyeing the scattered food on the ground.
His gaze remained steady as she gathered the fallen fruits, placing them on a lotus leaf and gently allowing the stream to cleanse the mud. Garuda found himself unable to look away, his attention fixed on her delicate wrists and the fluidity of her hands in the water, reminiscent of the mudras of Kohn.
Sapuna snapped back to reality. "Why are you here again?" he asked, approaching her as she handed him the food.
"Because I want you gone," she declared, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
"Is this a farewell lunch, then?" he inquired, taking a seat under the tree where he had fallen. Diving into the mangoes, he saw the Nagini looking at him, puzzled.
"You need to regain your strength to fly. Mangoes help," she explained, turning to leave. "I hope you leave this place by tomorrow."
Sapuna quickly swallowed his food and shouted, "Wait." She halted, looking back at him, one foot in the water and the other on the stones near the bank.
"Thank you. The Garudas will never forget your kindness and hospitality," he expressed.
The Nagini locked eyes with him. "I hope you don't forget to repay me." Sapuna recalled her asking for this war to end, for peace among her kind and his.
“I will do what I can," Sapuna replied.
The Nagini nods, stepping into the water to go away when the Garuda shouts again, “What is your name?”
She pauses yet again, but doesn’t turn.
"Wansarut." After saying so, she shifts into her Nagini form and dives into the water.
“Wansarut.” Sapuna smiles, whispering her name as he looked at the half-eaten food with a smile on his face.
---/---/---
Sleep didn’t come easy for Wansarut that night. The image of the Garuda's face lingered in her thoughts.
There was an unusual aura about him; something she had never witnessed before. His presence seemed to glow, and his features were perfectly sculpted. In his human form, he could easily be mistaken for a heavenly demigod. Truly divine.
She thought about the possibilities if he was a Naga like her. She could have asked him for courtship. They could have had the blessings from the elders and…
Wansarut sat up, shaking her head to dispel the fantasy.
He was a Garuda, her enemy. She could be in grave danger if discovered that she helped a Garuda. She didn’t even know his name and she wanted to do what? Ask him to court her? Love her?
Attempting to push these thoughts aside, she tried to sleep, resisting the image of him standing by the stream where he fell, waiting for her.
But she made a firm decision - she wouldn't go back. It wasn't just for her safety but for his as well.

More to come soon...
