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
In the ship in the middle of the sea the breeze was chilly not only because if was nearing sunset well, part of it was but also because of the tense tension between the crew members.They had lost one of their own searching for the creature and yet they had lost them. if their team member did not die maybe they would have turned back and forgot about the creature.But that was not an option right now, turning back was not an on the cards. They had to see this through, not for themselves but they felt they owed it to their friend to see it through so that it doesn’t feel like he died for nothing.While they were slowly cruising through the quiet waves in the sear suddenly Austin saw dolphins, three of them swimming close to the ship. A smile formed on his thin lips.I thought that even in the darkest of moments, there would always be a ray of sunshine. At that moment he was about to say something to motivate the others when the hacker called to everyone. “Dolphins and they are not alon
When Austin fainted, his buddied rushed to his side, the hacker, victor. Was the first to kneel beside him. He kept slapping him on the cheeks trying to wake him up. They had not seen what Austin and the captain have seen.They were busy with the nets and did not know what caused him to faint. “Austin, come on man, wake up.” Victor kept slapping, shouting, and shaking the man to wake up.Tired of being gentle, victor landed a huge slap on Austin’s face and that did the trick. Austin woke up instantly holding his burning cheek. “Aw! What was that for?” he asked glaring at Victor.“What did you expect me to do? I have been gentle, calling you and shaking you. Nothing worked and that got me nervous and I slapped you. What made you faint anyway? Is it hunger?”Victor did not only explain his reason for slapping but also questioned him. Austin recalled what he saw before he fainted. He quickly stood up and went to look
