They say pain makes you stronger and heartbreak makes you wiser. But Brandon’s heart break made him stupid, he still stayed on that beach on his knees with his heart bleeding every time he took a breath.But he stayed, with the hope that the woman he loved would return to him. The tide changed and the sunset. It got colder and the water kept hitting on him, but he stayed.He knew when he fell for her that he was being stupid. He fell for a woman whose heart belonged to another. All the effort he put into the relationship was like trying to fill a bucket full of holes with water.No matter how much you try the bucket will never be full as every time you tried to fill it the water escapes from the holes. That was Victoria and Brandon’s love. It hurt to admit that he was not as important to Victoria as he thought he was.He thought they had something, all these months he thought they were happy and in love. But the truth is that he was in love alone and that the woman’s heart was somewhe
The diving pot was seen by the scouts the moment it got to their territory and the queen was informed. By the time Brandon and his team got to the spot. Nazima, Zane, and Caleb were there wating for them.“These humans must have a death wish coming here again after everything.” Zane was fuming with anger as he said those words. “I told you that they will be waiting for us this time around.” Said Seun fear settling at the bottom of his stomach.“And I said I did not care, if they don’t give me what I want then they will all die.” Brandon said with a threatening voice. “Open the door.” Brandon instructed. The men shared a look.Peter nodded at Seun, and he opened the door. Both sides looked fearless. Brandon was determined and prepared to die if it meant he would see her again. Nazima on the other hand was thinking of ways to kill him slowly and painfully.“Well, well, well, I never thought I would see you again.” Said Nazima with a smirk on her face. Brandon showed no emotions, the man
The Naga king, Calem was going to the meeting place with the Merpeople when he witnessed them kill his son and prince, Nizan. This meeting was called to talk peace between the Naga people and the Merpeople. The Mer people had been killing the Nagas, and the king wanted that to stop. There have been talks from the people that the Mer people were not content being ruled by a weak king.After that, the killings of the Naga people started. The Nagas are also known as the snake people. The ones with the human upper body and a snake bottom were a peaceful clan. Whereas the Merpeople, the ones with a fish bottom believed in violence like Pagans. The king turned back and hurried to his daughter’s lair with his guard hot on his tail.“My princess, you must leave, go on land and hide there. The Merpeople have killed your brother and they are coming after us next.” The princess cried after hearing of her brother’s death. She was only ten years old and was close to her brother. The king ignored t
That night the seas were angry and were not kind to anything. Waves so big and strong that they covered the beach houses and then wiped them from existence. It was like the sea was fighting back or angered by the death of the Naga king and prince. He was a good king after all and ruled the water with peace. The seas were so angry that they caused a tsunami on land that took away a lot of houses and killed many people. Beach houses and businesses were destroyed, and many people died while others were injured.The princess washed up on land together with the guard Zane, the chest with gold, and the trident. The rescue teams were busy looking for survivors of the tsunami at that time when they came across them. At first, they thought they were dead, that was until the guard coughed that they rushed to them. When they saw their funny attires, the old chest, and trident they thought they went to some costume party when the tsunami hit.“Come this way, you will be safe there.” The man said
Nazima was busy in the backyard of yet another rented house busy training with her trident with the help of her trainer. They had been moving around for years not staying in one place for long especially after Zane accidentally saw one of Caleb’s guards on land. He knew he was after them and since then they had been on the run. Moving from one place to the other.Zane found the middle-aged Chinese man who helped them in one of the small towns they had ran to when the princess was fourteen. Zane trusted the man and told him their story. The man decided to help train Nazima and had been moving around with them since they met. Zane never forgot to remind the princess of the past and her home.He always reminded her that she didn’t belong on land, because of that Nazima never made friends on land. What was the point when she never stayed in one place long enough to make friends and she was going to leave this place anyway and go back to her home?Zane came running to the backyard. “It's t
They were like thieves in the night. Chan brought the truck around to the back street of the house and they hopped on then Chan drove away. He was heading towards the sea, he too was worried about his friends, if only he could follow them then he would and help them take back what was theirs. Unfortunately, he was only human and could not breathe in the water as they can.He felt envious that they could live both on land and in the water. When he got close to the ocean, he could not help but resent it. This place was his friends’ home but at that moment it felt like he was taking them to their deaths.At the back of the truck, Zane and Nazima could smell the ocean and the fear in their hearts increased. This was it, there was no turning back now. The truck came to a stop, and they waited for Chan to tell them it was safe to come out. Chan on the other hand was prolonging the inevitable.Finally, he got out of the truck and went to tell them it was safe. They said their goodbyes one la
“Don’t be useless, find me the one who is challenging me!” king Caleb was angry, he was paranoid and believed that one of his own people was trying to overthrow him and take over the throne. He was angrier because more bodies turned up this morning and still his people had no idea who was targeting him. It was like he was back twelve years ago when he was the one doing all the killing of the Naga people on his father’s orders to dethrone the Naga king.Now someone was doing the same to him and he wanted to know who he is so that he can teach him a lesson for all to see. He wanted everyone to see what he will do to that person so that they never try something like that with him again. If only his people can find him! Losing the throne scared him more than losing his life.King Caleb could not have that, no one could take the throne away from him. He has worked hard to get to where he was, and he was not about to let someone else take what he believed was his. It was funny because the t
The guards did not recognize the princess when they saw her. They just saw another Naga trying to retaliate against the king. “Let’s kill her and bring her head to the king” one guard suggested. “If you want your head to decorate the king’s lair then you can go ahead and kill her.” King Caleb was ruthless and enjoys killing his enemies with his own bare hands. Killing this Naga woman and denying the king the pleasure would be a mistake.The guard thought about it and knew they were right. The way Caleb was angry he would kill him for depriving him the chance to make an example of this damn woman. “We take her to the king.” Said the guard and they swam with her taking her to the king. When they arrived king Caleb was already waiting and when he saw she was a Naga, he got angry and charged towards her.Nazima was not looking at Caleb this whole time, she had her head down and her hair covering her face. “A bloody slave did this?” roared Caleb in anger, he felt disrespected by this. No o
