transforming himself back into his fully-fledged garuda figure and blocks the sunlight and creates a great storm, causing those within the city of Nakhon Paranasri to panic. In the confusion, he snatches away Kaki and brings her to his Chimbhli Palace, where they engage in an affair, continuing to disguise himself as an attractive man while in the walls of the Chimbhli residence. Kaki's inexplicable disappearance causes great distress to Thao Phromatat. Nadhkuvaen, who is secretly in love with Kaki volunteers to find her.
