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
“Wait, isn’t that the company ship?” the men were already in the water very early in the morning. They were following the direction the assassin said the men left in. now they were seeing the company boat and could not help but wonder what it was doing there.“Yes, it is but what is it doing here?” asked the hacker. Austin was looking at it with a hand on his chin as if he was deep in thoughts. “We found the creature in the company’s lab, their boat is out here at this hour and heading in the same direction we are. What do you think they are looking for?”The men shared a look, they did not sleep last night looking for a boat to take them. they were ready and on the boat by three in the morning. Now they are meeting the company boat here. That was not a coincidence. They might be looking for the same thing they were.While they were thinking a loud horn was blown followed by a warning. “You there, leave this area immediately, you are not authorized to be here. Please leave now before
Back in the water Nazima and Caleb had just gotten back. they were being filled in on what has been happening in their absence. Zane was still on the way home and Nazima could not believe what has happened.She was told it was over, but she could not help the nagging feeling at the pit of her stomach. They say it was over, but something was not right. She could feel it and her demon could feel it too.She was anxious to see Zane and find out as much as she could about what went down. Caleb walked closer to her, he could see how worried she was, and he wanted to do something to relieve her of her worries.“It will be alright; we will take care of everything.” Nazima could hear his words, but they were not registering, something was wrong, and she could feel it. it also, did not help that Zane was not there yet.While she was still pacing a guard came running. “The regent is back.” he informed them. Nazima was about to go check when Zane came in, she sighed in relief seeing him back in
