The city was buzzing with people going about their business. Some doing shopping, others sitting outside in restaurants enjoying their lunch. Venders shouting and advertising their businesses, trying to lure people in, to get them to buy their products. Those who have never been on land were amazed by everything they were seeing. They would stop and stare in awe of everything. How different the land was to the water. “Keep up we still have a lot to do and people to see. We are on a mission people, let’s not forget our purpose.” Zane reminded everyone of the reason they were on land, he had forgotten that he was the same way when he first got to land. He was amazed by everything but this time it was different, it was not his first time and he had seen it all. But the others were still amazed even by the cars moving up and down the road. Zane stopped a taxi and they all got in. he was headed to the first friend he made when they first got on land with Nazima. “What is this, how it mo
There was a big crowd gathered on the arena, people could not wait to see the surprise Nigal got for them. when he sent out the guards, he said to tell the people that he had a surprise for them.Something will both shock and entertain them. people were scared yet curious at the same time. They came quickly and in numbers. They hoped that this was not another display of dead bodies by Nigal.Bodies of their loved one, people they could not even acknowledge as family as they would be implicated as well for conspiring with them. all they did when they saw their loved one hanging, they would pray in their hearts and ask for forgiveness.Life here was not easy and when Nigal calls them like this on the last minute. It meant something big was going to happen and they wanted to know what it was. They wanted to know who he was going to kill this time and what pathetic excuse he was going to give for it.Many wanted him dead but there were not strong or united enough to take him on. So, this
Austin had a huge smile on his face the moment he walked into the resort. Natalie returned the smile. “Where is he?” he could not hold his excitement. Natalie thought he was simply happy he would be meeting a good friend.“Where is he?” Natalie smiled politely. “He is in his room but said to get him when you arrive.” Austin was pleased to hear that. It seemed that Zane was still as naïve as before.That made Austin really happy, it seemed his job of robbing Zane was going to be very easy. “So, what are you waiting for? Get him.” Natalie nodded and left. Austin sat comfortably on the couch waiting patiently for his prey.His greed could not be matched at that moment, the man had gotten so rich from the gold he got from Zane before that now he is one of the top five billionaires in the country.But that was not enough for Austin, as they say, the more you get the more you want. When Zane appeared, he stood and approached him with a smile. “My good friend, it’s good to see you.” Zane sm
Nazima looked at her people, she could not read their expressions. She did not know they if was fear or shock they were showing. But it was dead silent in the arena, all eyes were on her and the spot where Nigal stood.It was empty and the blood that was there was also clearing. People’s minds were blank, they could not think or react to what they just witnessed. Nigal was dead, the devil was dead. They were free!“Hell yeah! Wooooh!” it was a boy who cheered first and the crowd seemed to be snapped out of their trace by him and the arena roared in cheer. There was laughter, tears of joy, cries from those who could not believe it.They never expected the results they were seeing, they thought Nigal was going to kill their queen then continue to torment them. but that was not the case, Nigal was dead, and they were free.Caleb walked to Nazima with a proud smile on his face. He bowed his head when he got to her. “My queen, I never doubted you for a second and I am proud of you.” He sai
On land the water people were busy sharpening their weapons waiting for Zane to come back with news. They had to go back to where they hid their weapons that night. Zane said they could not come out of the water with weapons because the land people would not take likely to that.Now that they had their weapons, they were ready for action and waiting for their leader to come back and give them orders. “I should have gone to the meeting, sitting here and waiting is useless.” Frustration was eating away at Norma.She wanted to go with Zane when he finally got the news on what he was waiting for, but he blatantly refused to take her with. “We should be the ones feeling that way, you are your clan put us all in danger and now you are complaining about waiting when our leader is trying to solve your problems? Show a bit of gratitude and stop complaining.”One of the Mer guards said, annoyed by her constant complaints and pacing. He did not want to be here, he was one of the few that did not
“My queen, why are you leaving? I thought you would stay a little bit longer until everything is back to normal on this side.” Osmond enquired after hearing that Nazima was leaving.Osmond was not ready, there was still many things he wanted to show her. he wanted to take her to see the African shores, and it’s people. For now, all she saw was the mess the war caused.“Am sorry Osmond, next time I will stay longer but for now my people need me to leave. they are still afraid, and it is difficult for them to trust me. to them I might be Nigal 2.0, more powerful and dangerous.” She sighed feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders.“My people need to learn to trust me and if giving them space is going to make that happen then so be it. besides, I am needed back home.” Nazima wanted to stay but that was not an option at the moment.Caleb looked at the disappointed look on Osmond face and felt relieved. His competition was staying behind and won’t be an obstacle for him anymore. “L
The water people were sitting outside by the pool when they saw Zane coming out of the taxi. With the facial expression he had they could tell that something was wrong. They stood and walked to the rooms.Zane got in and closed the door. He started pacing while the rest sat on the couches and bed silently waiting for Zane to say something. “It’s bad and we must change the plan.” Zane started.The rest shared looks wondering what could have happened. “The humans have seen your leader’s true nature and with how they acted, I don’t think they will uphold their side of the deal.” Norma’s heart started beating like an African drum in her chest.It felt like it was booming in her ears and was about to jump right out of her chest. “So, what is the plan?” she asked, she was having a tough time processing what Zane was saying.The humans who have her leader are already going to great lengths to exploit him, making him a lab rat against his will. What will happen now when more people know who t
In the middle of the ocean the CEO of the company was dejected and disappointed. After spending two days in the sea trying to find more Naga people, they were coming up empty handed.The divers searched the whole area but could not find anything. “Don’t worry sir, I will make him talk when we get there, and he will give up his people.” The bodyguard was known for his unique skills in torture and well, keeping men like the CEO of the company safe.Men like him are not always innocent and they need men like his bodyguard to keep them safe. “You better make him talk quickly, I have a lot riding on this.” The guard was more than happy to please his boss.The CEO went to stand by the railing looking at the dolphins swimming around the ship. He wished he was as carefree as those creatures. But then he noticed something.The dolphins now were heading towards the same direction but then noticed something else. Snake tails. The CEO took his binoculars and took a closer look. That is when he sa
