Now mom felt comfort like she was in the arm of a man, but just as she was about to get too comfortable with the romantic and sensual aura from the beach, she heard this startling deep voice saying:
"What troubles you?" The voice echoed from above her head. The voice was very deep but mild, sounding like a cocktail of the roar of a lion and the gentle rush of the sea. Goosebumps rash her immediately, with her hair all erect, her eyes wide open and round. "what could make a beauty as you cry?"The voice said. "Hey! Do you want to give me a heart attack?" She asked as she looked up to see the man with the voice. The man was handsomely built, and his complexion was like a cocktail of milk and honey blended with rich cocoa, he was very tall and had a long straight gold-coloured mane. He was bare-chested, water dripped from his wet hair down his broad puffed chest, and sweet hair lined from his chest down his lower abdomen through his cracked belly which appeared like finely placed tiles. He was wearing blue knickers with red flower designs, and that was dad, yes, that was where and how mom met dad "Can I join you?" Dad asked, he stared deep into her eyes like he intended to find something in there. His eyes were as blue as the sea, it's obvious where I got the eye and hair colour. "Yeah! Feel free." She said sitting up, she blushed ups and down as she scrambled for words, dad's erotic amatory eyes almost conquered her confidence. Water dripped from the dad's chest and Knickers like he had been swimming, only that it was a bit too late to be swimming. His legs shook as he stood like he had been running, it was obvious he needed to sit. He sat very closely and at her front. Mom stole some sight of dad's broad bare chest which was very sensual. "I've been hearing your Lamentations from deep down." Dad said pointing to the sea but with his eyes glued to the forehead of mom who happened to be looking at everywhere but his eyes. Dad's eyes seem to be the most unsafe environment at the moment since she had found herself lost several times only in a few minutes. "The energy in your pain and disappointment is too strong, it's causing turbulence to my sea. And if I may ask, who is this Mark of a heartbreaker?" My father added. "Oh my God! I thought I was all alone." Said Jennifer, looking so embarrassed. "Alone? Did I just hear you say alone? The whole of my family is down there, and we literally hear whatever you say from up here."Dad said with his deep but soft voice still pointing to the sea. "Family? But I wasn't loud, thank God". As they interacted dad kept locking eyes with her, this created a very strong sensual chemistry. Mom felt the strange strong chemistry that kept connecting her to the stranger who later turned out to be the father of her only child, though she tried resisting the feeling, it rather grew stronger. "So where did u say you were again? Cause I can remember scanning the beach earlier and I found no one presence". She said with her hand on her hair like she was combing. "Just beneath." He said pointing to the sea again. "Sorry o, by beneath you mean in the sea? Haha." Now her both hands are on the sandy floor, making her chest push out, and now her enormous breast points up like the pyramids of Gaza. Hahaha, did I forget to say that mom is endowed in all ramifications?"Yeah! From beneath the sea, I heard your rhythmic cry, and I couldn't float watching a pretty land walker like you in pain, so I had to do something."He said. "Oh my God, you are so funny, you must be a comedian, a sweet one." Mom said, laughing in her sexiest way. "Really? You think I'm funny?" Dad asked, giving her a look that almost seems like a surprised one. "Hmm. Thanks for the compliment, I never imagined anyone could ever see me as anything near funny. So, thank you for the compliment, land walker." Dad said, finally, he wore a slight smile."Hey Mr! Please pause that land walker thing, I'm Juliet." Mom quickly corrected him."Oh! Juliet, pardon me, my kind always calls your kind land walkers. "Hmm... Na wa o."She said making a face that says 'where is this one from?'"Your KIND you said, right? So if your KIND calls my KIND land walkers, what then will we call your KIND?"She said still maintaining the look, but this time she used her two fingers to make a quotation mark. "Isn't it obvious? I'm an Aqua-being" "ha ha haha! Aqua-being..... Which simply means you are a mermaid, sorry, merman, right?" Mom mockingly said."Yeah! That's right. That's what your kind call us". Dad said as he still stares into her eyes."You are a very funny person, I'm sure you already know about that, right?"She said this time she blushed because her eyes have caught the gaze of the stranger yet again. His eyes were alluring, so blue, and the craziest part was that he kept staring at her deep in the eyes, which drove her nuts."So, Mr Aquabeing, what do you seek for on land? Tell me, what brought you here? Or are you missing your way? And why are you with legs like a land walker? Hahaha" Mom asked dad in a teasing manner with her left hand on her flowing dark mane, and her other hand on the bare part of her lap. Her black miniskirt had pulled up slightly due to her sitting position, with her eyes still stuck to the bare chest of daddy, she also sat in a way that her massive bumps trust up high and bold enough to catch the attention of any healthy male. "I heard you cry from the deep blue, and I couldn't float seeing a fine art as you cry. I'm meant to understand that one Matthew broke your delicate heart, so I'm here... To mend it."Dad who is still a stranger said, this time he used both hands to hold her cheeks, raising her face so that their eyes can meet, he stared deep into her eyes causing her to quiver. Ok, now I'll like to warn you that I'm about to expose things that might be a little too sensual
Both mom and dad breathing hard and fast like a sprinter after a long-mile race. Yeah! This was the act that caused my existence, though mom thought this to be a mistake, I still thanked God for that day, cause it was the day that I was conceived. Mom now faced up looking at the twinkling stars, she now regretted her actions, mom was not as erratic as you think, it's almost impossible to resist the sexual advancements of my kind. 'Regrets are like hens, they have come home to roost.' She became ashamed of herself, she can't believe what she had done, and she wished she can undo her action, she just had unprotected sex with a total stranger. 'Matthew, see what you have caused, see what you made me do.' She said in her mind. All of a sudden the sea started rumbling again, causing a wash on the shore. "I'm needed back home, beautiful land walker... Sorry! Jennifer." Dad said jumping up, he walked towards the sea butt naked. "Enough of this joke, it's no longer funny." She said as she
Ok, let's come back to the present, I guess you now understand mom's reason for calling me Demian, a name that rhymes with a demon. Well, it's true, I'm Damian, a hybrid of mom a beautiful human lady, and Dad, a seductive Akwa-being, and a Sea King, I guess that made me an Aqua-prince, and yes this is the story of my life.I ran so fast jumping over obstacles like a sprinter in a huddle race, dodging some branches of trees as I ran through a bush path, I ran so fast only to stop in front of a small stream. There was a plank placed in form of a bridge to aid crossers to cross comfortably. As I got to the stream my expression changed, I wished that I knew any other way, but there was none known to me, I have to cross the stream if I must get to my destination. I used to be too scared of water, I believe that I have water allergies. I closed my eyes, spread my arms, folded my fist, and squeezed hard as I slowly managed to cross the local bridge. Immediately I crossed the stream and conti
"Aha! Finally, you are out, now where is that violent bastard son of yours? I said where is he? Bring him out!"A furiously looking woman, the woman was visibly angry as her rage could be sensed from miles away, everyone, not excluding me thought she was a madwoman who accidentally wandered into our compound. But behind the woman were the four bullies, they stood behind her all in plasters and bandages tied to different parts of their bodies. "Can you see what your violent son did to my boy and nephews? Have you seen it? No, just look at them, see for yourself." She said pointing at the one with a broken arm. It was boy two, I could hardly recognize him with all those bandages, he made this funny face of pain as he tried to raise the broken hand, the hand was hung to his neck, I could almost say broken arm suites him a whole lot."Now listen and listen very clearly, you may call me any name of ur choice, I don't care, but never you dare call my Damie names. You better restrict your
Weeks later, my mom and I hit the road, we embarked on the journey to Abuja. It was quite an adventure, as usual, I was the topic of the day, and many of the passengers just sat there and stare at me like they haven't seen a cute kid before. Many of them even gossiped about me to my face. Well, we arrived in Abuja pretty late, we were lucky, if not mom's old school friend aunt Paulina, who aided us to our new apartment. We embarked on the journey on Friday morning, the journey was not an easy one, poor me, I never liked the long journey, I felt sick all through the bus, and I kept vomiting even though my mom tried all she could to make him feel better. Aunt Paulina and mom had been best of friends since college. Aunty Paulina was the gossip who made it apparent to my mother that Mr Matthew was going to marry another lady.Aunty Paulina had always thought that I was Mr Matthew's son even though her best friend who happened to be my mom had always insisted on the opposite. The truth came
One week later, my mom took me to the school on a public vehicle for my registration into the new school, the same school as Cynthia. Yeah, went on a public vehicle, mom was yet to bring down her car from the east down to Abuja. Mom would have driven us to Abuja by herself if she had more confidence or believed in herself a little bit more, so, because she thinks she can't drive that long distance and also that she was not conversant with the route, so, for that, she had to make us use the public bus. But she said in due time she will send for our car.It was a beautiful Monday morning, mom looked extremely beautiful in her corporate black dress, and her wig was also a beautiful one. It was the same school as Cynthia, the same school aunty Paula had recommended to mom. The name of the school was Ambassadors of Wisdom International School (AWIS).Ambassadors Of Wisdom International School (AWIS) was one of the best, most recognized, and most expensive schools in Maitama Abuja. The scho
I felt more comfortable on my first day in this school than in my other schools where it took me more time to make friends, which was mainly a result of the fact that guys hate me at first sight of me. But things are different at this school because I already had a friend before I even started. Cynthia made sure I was comfortable, Cynthia's friends were amazed at the colour of his eyes and hair, they argued about them being fake, and they all touched and played with my hair. Hmm... I kinda felt like a celebrity, with the way people look at me and the way Cynthia's boyfriend flirted with me."He's such a cutie! I'd like to go on a date with him. A friend of Cynthia said. "He won't ask you out, madam!" Cynthia swiftly intercepted the speech of her friend. She had just realized how handsome and precious I am, at least her friends' demeanour had opened her eyes to see me as I wanted her to see me. She can actually show him off to her friends as her boyfriend, or so she thought. On the
Yeah, all they know how to do is bully, no wonder Cynthia had told me that their hatred was not personal, they are only bitter because that was all they can do to feed their empty brain."Please, if you know the answer, let me see your hands up. I know that even if we are to stay from now till tomorrow these boys will never find the answer in their empty skulls. So, if any of you know the answer, tell me."Then the teacher directed the question to the class, and almost all the students raised their hands, including me the new kid. Yes, I know the answer, I've done skin in my former school, and it was one of my best topics in Biology."Wow! , Damian, you see? The new kid who just resumed yesterday knows the answer, and you people that had been in this school for years do not even know anything. Please tell us."Said the teacher, and I stood up to say;"Melanin is the pigment that is secreted by Melanocytes. This pigment called melanin helps to darken the skin""Perfectly said!!"The te
MY HOUSEMASTER"That black magician of a boy, Kunle, always swims with magic," Bright ranted, his voice rising above the murmurs of the crowd. "He only wins because he cheats! There’s this leaf he always chews before a competition—it makes him faster than any normal swimmer. Hahaha! But today, he met his match. He thought he was racing against an ordinary swimmer, but he was up against a true Aqua-being! What an honor it is to be in the same class as you, my prince."His words sounded like the ramblings of someone who had secretly taken too much marijuana. No one paid him any serious attention—except the security personnel. Before he could say anything else, they rushed toward him, grabbed him, and forcefully escorted him out. Where they took him, we didn’t know. Later, we heard he had been taken to a hospital, and rumor had it that he went completely mad on the way there.Well, the celebration continued without him, though his outburst had slightly dulled the excitement.

The Siren SpellThe moment I moved, an incredible force propelled me forward. It was so fast that I almost slammed into the pool wall. Before I even understood what was happening, I had already reached the far end. As I surfaced, the crowd erupted into cheers, their voices echoing through the arena.“What just happened?” someone gasped. “He was right here a second ago! How did he move that fast?”Journalists, who had come to cover the competition, stared in shock. They had expected an ordinary school event, not something that defied logic.By the time I reached the last side of the pool, Kunle was still in the middle, racing toward the finish line with the other swimmers struggling behind him. He turned his head, probably wondering what had caused the sudden commotion, and when he saw me at the end, his expression froze.His face twisted with shock, fear, and something else—pure disbelief. It was as if he had just swallowed something unbearably bitter. He couldn’t believe it—I had esc
THE CONTESTThe principal gave his opening speech, and soon after, the event officially began. The MC took the stage, flipping through his agenda booklet as he organized and coordinated the activities lined up for the day. He was a funny man, always cracking jokes that kept the crowd entertained. His humor added an extra spark to the event, making the whole show even more enjoyable.It was a massive gathering. Every student in the school was present, and many parents had also come to watch. But my mom—and Cynthia’s parents—were among the few who didn’t attend.My housemaster, always speaking in that overly polished way of his, asked why my mom wasn’t there to see me swim. I simply told him she had an urgent situation to handle. He didn’t seem fully convinced, but he let it go. To be honest, I barely understood half the words he used, but I nodded along anyway, pretending I did.Back at the poolside, we were all dressed in our swimming gear, waiting for the contest to start. That was w
The Mad Powder"Like seriously, your swimming skills are something else. I’ve never seen or heard of a swimmer like you, not even in the Olympics. Honey, you are the best! Can’t you see them gathering over there? They’re scared of you, yet you’re here, feeling scared of them? That’s hilarious.""Listen, love, we’ve watched Kunle swim, and we all know he’s not on your level. After seeing you in the water, it’s obvious. And mind you, this isn’t just my opinion—I overheard some students saying that even the principal called you our new Merman. If the principal, who is supposed to be neutral, could say that, then what do you think your odds are against Kunle?" Cynthia said.I won’t lie, I heard the principal say it too. He said that a new Merman had emerged. His words sent a wave of confidence rushing through me.We were still talking when Bright strolled toward us, his face twisted like someone carrying the weight of guilt. His shoulders slumped, head tilted downward, as if he wanted to
MOTIVATIONS"You don’t understand, do you? If he loses, he’ll be disgraced and humiliated just like you were the other day. Or are you pretending not to know?" Kunle said, narrowing his eyes at Bright.Bright shifted uncomfortably but said nothing.Kunle smirked. "And besides, you’re the perfect person for this job. You can easily walk up to him and pretend you’re sorry. Act a little dramatic while apologizing. Make it look real—beg for his forgiveness, act like you regret the way you’ve treated him. Just follow my instructions exactly, and boom! Once you tap him on the back with the powdered hand, leave the rest to the demons."Bright flinched immediately. "Ah! Demons?" His face twisted in fear.Kunle rolled his eyes. "Listen to me carefully," he said in a low, serious tone. "My grandfather was the chief priest of Oshun, the water goddess. Swimming runs in our blood—we move through water like fish. But this powder… this is something different. This is bait. Once it's on someone’s ski
The Evil PlanThe school was nearly deserted when we arrived, with only a few students loitering around and a handful of technicians working by the poolside, preparing for the upcoming swimming competition. The silence in the air made the place feel almost eerie, like something was brewing beneath the surface.But that peace didn’t last long.As we made our way across the school grounds, we ran into Bright and his crew. They were gathered in a tight circle, talking in hushed voices, clearly deep in conversation. Their backs were slightly hunched, their heads close together, like they were plotting something. Whatever it was, we had no idea. At least, not yet.A little further down, Kunle and his gang were standing in another corner, but something about the way they were positioned struck me as odd. It wasn’t just a casual meetup. No laughter, no playful shoving—just serious faces and suspicious glances.That’s when I realized both groups had gathered in the same spot. And judging from
Breakfast with MomI woke Mom up earlier than usual, and she looked at me with surprise. I could tell she wasn’t expecting me to be up so early, and to be honest, I wasn’t either. It wasn’t like me to wake up at this time, especially not with this kind of energy. But the strangest part? I didn’t feel that familiar wave of fear—the one that had haunted me every morning since I learned about the swimming competition.Mom and I made breakfast together before heading to bathe. We decided on scrambled eggs, paired with slices of bread and a steaming cup of tea. After getting ready, I still had plenty of time left before breakfast. I didn’t want to wait for Mom, though. She was still in front of the mirror, applying her makeup, so I went ahead and took my seat at the dining table.She noticed how fast I was moving and gave me a curious look."Damian, what's going on at school today?" she asked. "I don’t understand this sudden change in behavior."I knew she was wondering why I was in such a
