"These humans..." Tade shakes his head, a lazy disgusted smile on it as he tugs the edges of his blue blazer.
He carefully picks his way through the throng of dancing couples and singles, both parties showing silly, interesting and of course very sexual dance moves. They are a couple of them sharing deep sensual kisses while some even go as far as groping for their partners privates, using the mesh of party crazed bodies as a cover.
Tade ignores them all, a bemused expression on as he looks left and right and then to the DJ whose two hands are thrown into the air.
As for the MC, the stage is devoid of him but they are some other people who are dressed in somewhat professional clothes of wine shirts and blue trousers and skirts taking note of whatever it was they were as they milled about the stage around the banquet table.
Soon, Tade loses interests and picks his way to the nearest exit to him. He sighs in relief, inhaling the fresh lake air that remind him of what had brought him out here.
"The girls..." He mutters too himself.
"Excuse me?" A voice calls to him from behind. "You're in the way."
With a slight frown, Tade realises he is lodged at one of the many exit glass doors that are stationed about the perimeter forming a sort of wall of glass.
Although, some glass doors appear to be shut tightly, thus reverting to it's original function of a wall.
*Belch!
"Excuse me, Mister." A belch fumes into Tade's face as he turns to see the caller.
It is a youth with sharp low cut and curves around his forehead, a smug look on as he romances a bottle of alcohol to his chest, rumpling his milk white shirt that is atop his neatly starched black trousers and suspenders.
"Oh. Sorry!" Tade scrunches his face, shifting sideways to allow passage.
"Hehe." The youth chuckles, wagging a finger at him.
"You do realise you're drunk?"
"Me? Come on, No!" The youth points a finger to himself with wide eyes.
"Really? There's so much fluid in your system and 80% of that fluid is alcohol. "
"See who's calling me drunk! yeah yeah... like you can see the alcohol in my system." The Mister staggered away, almost missing a step.
"Wait... Where's the ladies restroom?" Tade asks,causing the drunk youth to pause in his staggered walking style.
The youth turn slowly, teeth shining as his eyes beam.
"You got a girl you wanna screw? I got aphrodisiac to make her all over you, you know? it's 300k for one."
"Shut Up! Where is it?" Tade exploded, his face tightened in grimacing rage as he power walks to the youth an grips him by the collar.
"Where?" Tade breathes into his face making the youth shudder, before pointing towards the opposite direction.
"Chill off, dude. Don't go horny on me!"
RING... RINNGG... RINNNNGGGGGGGGG...
A vibration echoes into the air from Tade's breast pocket of his blazer that stops everything. Fuming, Tade slams the youth against a pillar before pulling out the sleek black phone out with a growl.
It is a video call, and the caller is no other person but a bearded man who appears to be the older version of Tade.
"What do you want, Enas?" He growls, earning a chuckle from the caller.
"Is that any way to greet your elder brother, Tade?" Enas chuckles heartily, scratching at his full beard.
"I will consider my greeting of you when you learn not to stick your nose in my domain." Take replies with contempt.
"Your domain? Look, if it's about the water incident, forget it. The water is not..." Tade mute the video call just as the youth coughs to gain attention.
"You and your caller, very strange. weirdos!" He says, tipping the end of the bottle as he gulps before belching.
"Not my prob. but just in case you need the aphrodisiac come around here, okay?" He winks at Tade who snorts in return , walking away.
"Well... Screw..." The Mister makes an exaggerated expression of his right had with his middle fingers get stabbing the air furiously. "Screw that girl hard. or call me and my guys to help you do that!"
Tade stops and takes a backward glance. "Speaking of screwing... What's the number?" He asks coldly.
Seeing this, the Mister gleefully rubs his nose with his right and takes another long gulp.
"The number is 0128635. I'll be waiting."
"So who are you planning on screwing, Tade?" Enas sad just as Tade's unmutes the video call as he makes to the restroom.
"None of your business! Buzz off!"
"Tade, don't you ever learn? You'd be home now if not for stupidly engaging yourself in the matters of humans. And now again, you are planning on screwing a human too?" Enas asked with a stern glance.
"I should have mute the microphone too. You are knowing too much for my irritation and if it keeps on like this... just leave me alone, okay?"
"Really? What would you do if I don't? You're my brother after all and I missed you, that's why I came."
"I never asked for you to come. This is my expulsion I'm suffering, not yours!" Tade whisper yells.
"I know." Enas says smiling. "But you're my younger brother who's going to get himself killed over humans. So, I'll always stick to you like bees to honey."
"Buzz Off!"
Enas laughed, his camera angle adjusting itself. "You should be happy I'm not trailing you at the moment."
"Well, this is as much as that!"
"Atleast," Enas feigned shock. "I didn't pop up beside you toruin your game, you know?"
"You think I'm playing a game?" Tade's face darkens more.
"Of course. If not, why would you stop me from dealing with those girls who were desecrating the lake? You know how water is sacred to us... It's our home, Tade. Yet you protected that girl from me, not once. Not Twice." Enas says, counting with his fingers.
"Yeah?" Tade replies, disgusted. "You're saying that like I held your hands and pulled you back!"
"Didn't you?" The video call begins to get tense as both misters are puffed and furiously breathing.
"Haha!" Tade rolls his eyes into his surroundings. As at now, he had gotten to the end of the hall. "If you really meant to deal with the girls, then you wouldn't have run away with that pouch like the self centered bastard you are!" Tade explodes.
"What?" Enas begins to point at the camera with each word he says. "You... YOU stole that pouch from me and held me to random. And you know how important that pouch is to me... That's why you used it as a bargaining chip to let those girls go. Those abominable creatures." Enas' dark face begins to take a hue of red as he breathes furiously.
"Of course, I did. This is my domain... And if you hadn't interfered and stayed back where you kept licking the feet of mum and dad, I wouldn't have had need to steal the pouch!"
"I see." Enas leans back from the camera while Tade is still hunched over the phone. "So, all of this is just because I came around to check on how you're faring?"
Tade simply keeps mute, pinching the edge of his nostrils with his left hand, exhaling.
"So, because I had to come so that I could vouch for you back at home that you've changed and for the exile to be called off, that's why you are now fuming at me, eh?" Enas smirks as a wave crashes down behind him under the cold night sky.
"Well, sorry to buzz you... But if you really continue like this, I'm afraid I'll have to report you. And you know what comes next then?"
"What? Call me outcast? You all threw me out like a worthless piece of shit, you think I'll be bothered by whatever you do next?" Tade raises an eyebrow as two ladies in evening gowns and light makeup hurry past him.
Enas chuckled, rubbing his face with one hand. "Tade, there is a thin line between confidence and impudence. And you, brother, you're at the edge of that very line."
Enas leans closer to the camera till all that is on Tade's screen is merely the face of his elder brother.
"I don't want to lose you, Tade. But if you force mum and Dad's hand, you will be killed like a worthless piece of shit, pulverised by thugs who will hang your rotten body parts to dry like salted fish." Enas says coldly and begins withdrawing from the camera.
"A word is enough for the wise. And I believe you are wise. The soon you keep playing with humans, the better for you. The spiritual and the physical are never ever meant to meet!"
Enas adds, disconnecting the video call, but however, his brother had not being listening.
Ever since the ladies had walked past, his ears had pricked open, filtering in on their conversation.
And from the looks of it, they appeared to be speaking of a certain Deola who was drugged.
His Deola!
Tade smiled. Since when had that girl become his?
"I still cannot believe we couldn't see Deola the bitch. Think a guy could have bailed her out?" The lady with puppy deep seated eyes asks her companion with phonetics.
"Simi,I'm out of ideas right now. Let's see the others." The other replied as she pushes the restroom door to gain entrance.
Seeing this, Tade stops his stalking and leans against the wall of the restroom as the smell of disinfectant mixes with the cold biting airs that is complimented with a few bat calls, here and there.
Leaning against the wall, Tade remains perfectly still enough to be mistaken as a statue as he listens to the conversation in the restroom.
He hears the feminine voices of schemers in the restroom, asking each other of the where about of.
Schemers who did not seem satisfied with the fact that they had ruined Deola's prom already.
No...
"And... and that could also mean that she had pooped herself and we just need to locate her to find where the fuck she is and take snapshots of her. Mehn! Deola will be ruined forever!"
No... They wanted to humiliate her.
And for the first time since he stood still, Tade raises a palm to his chest and clenches so hard that his fingers pale and lose color.
By human standards, he should not be able to listen well enough except if the persons were in a shouting match because the walls are very thick.
But, Tade is not human.
He is more.
"Ohmagod!Emergency shit. Make way" A mock hurried voice resounds and laughter follows it from the restroom just as Tade's nose twitches.
"You're are not satisfied with what you've done. Now you are mocking her. I've had enough of this! Evil humans like you all should never be in existence. At least, not on Deola's case." Tade fumes as his muscles go taut and milky green light beings to illuminate his eyes.
"And for that, I swear by me! I will be your Karma." Tade exclaims just as his left palm rises up in supplication.
"Every fluid in your body will reject you." He says just as the people in the ladies restroom begin to complain of stomach unrest, wondering if they had mistaken swallowed the drug.
"But when you go for respite, the toilets will refuse you! Aaaahh!" Tade forcefully exhales just as he jerks his fisted hand now, impulsively downwards.
Instanteously, sreams and shrieks erupt, disturbing the serenity of the night from the restrooms walks Tade walks away, a menacing smile on his face,back, towards the hall.
And as he walks away, he does not hear the weakly, lament of a feminine voice to her friends saying...
"Girls, I think Karma just caught up with us. Ahhh..."

She shakes her head in horror, the only expression visible on it is dread.She longs for words to say as her head moves left to right in total fright, as if she'd seen a ghost.

Epilogue
It has been some hours, a day approximately, since the encounter on the muddy banks. Today, the air smells different, with the scent of water coupled with the sweet harmonies of chirping birds while the sun sets in the distance, sinking down into the depths of the lake.Two people stand a little after the whitewashed picket fence, staring down at the beautiful setting of the orange spotted sky, their hearts pounding in the excitement of being close to the one who meant so much to them.Tade, wearing a yellow vintage shirt with patterns of a palm tree, has his hands in his slim fit black trousers and a broad, satisfied smile on his face.By his side, his 'girl', the quiet, reserved but sweet lady, Deola stands, her palms hugging each other infront of her while her body is clothed with a floral orange gown, red slides on her feet. Her face has a pasted satisfied smile as well as she gazes on ahead.After some more minutes of silence, she turns to look at Ta

Her worry is not far fetched however, for by the side of them, at the far side of Debi's left is the Water Spirit King, Arinle, eyebrows knitted fiercely while his eyes flash with light in sync with the blistering aura emanating from his body."What… is… this… madness?" He balls his fists, his eyes bulging while muscles contract visibly all over him.Arinle, like before, is adorned in a silver scaled sleeveless top that perfectly packs in all the muscularity that he has. On his waist is a golden shining belt with a single tower-like tip, large enough that it covers half of his stomach before getting ended at his waist, from which the blue scaled trousers runs down.On his face is a large wreath of luxurious black beard, from his jaws down to the uppermost of his chest. He has bushy eyebrows as well, glittering eyes that tell of madness unspeakable, his whole form shivering with condensed furious rage."Father&helli

"Tsk… Damn you! How can you be this strong at your failing health level?" Enas groans, rolling over to evade another stomp of Tade."It's the power of love, my dear. The extent that emotion can motivate has no limit." A feminine voice that belongs not to Tade whispers in the background while Enas gets to his feet finally and begins to trade blows with a furious Tade.However the brothers do not hear the femine but alluring voice of their mother queen as they engage themselves in battle. A punch sails through to the air to Tade’s head but the latter tilts himself backward, evading the blow. But Enas is not over as he follows with a combo attack of a knee kick to the stomach.Groaning, Tade doubles over, spitting out ichor from his mouth. Enas seizes the opportunity in a flash and slams his left elbow heavily, right at the center of Tade, crumpling the latter to the ground.“You always thought to be the better of us… spoilt brat. T

All For Love
"Nooooooo…."Blood trickles down from her head as her body continues to propel out. Overcome by numbness, Tade stretched out, his hand clutching her leg and holding her back just as the convertible stance shifts again, the somersault in progress.And then, a sploshing sound as the car plunges down, deep down into water."Water?" Tade groans, umconfused as to when there was ever a water body here…Of course, he'd sensed one but the waters would not be so clear for those pure water spirits to use.Murky and stangant water bodies are the standard no-no for his people which is why he had not considered this to be of any importance.A mistake he is come to realize now.Tade huffs, ripping out the seatbelt that restrained him to the seat.

Seeing that, even the hesitant family rush in, opening the door as Tunrayo begins to drive even as they rush in, Deola being hoisted in first.And then, with a loud screech, Tunrayo's convertible tyres paint black on the asphalt as the zooms off and away."So, somebody tell me, what is going on?" Tolani, the mother of Deola asks in a fast rising tempo.They are huddled into the backseat, Richard at the seat behind Tade while Tolani is behind Tunrayo, this, putting Deola right at the center of them all.For a brief moment, the entire car is silent, each person trying to process that which has happened.Tade's mind is agog with responsibility towards all the people in the car as he understands that because of him, they all would be targeted.He cannot bring himself to say that this might have turned out well, being that, Tunrayo had popped up right on time.

The Saviours
The humanoid croaks, walking on to where its target would be. And as it gets there, just outside the window, it raises the bow to eye level, putting his fingers to the non-existent bowstring.Then, a line of white shimmering energy appears which the humanoid plucks as far back. Another energy strand appears, forming an arrowhead of thin energy strand at the bow, ending into a feathered bottom that is now held by the humanoid on the plucked string.And then, Tade’s strained physique blurs into the view, at the open driveway. He stops, his mouth aghast at the sight that greets him, unable to bring himself to do anything.Indeed, he cannot do anything because at the very moment, the arrow made of the milky white energy is only seconds from being fired by the assassin.His breathing doubles as time slows, panic filling him because it shows that all his efforts are all but nought.

The Lagos Port Complex also referred to as Premiere Port (Apapa Quays) is the earliest and largest Port in Nigeria. It is situated in Apapa, Lagos State, the commercial center of Nigeria. The Port, established in 1913, witnessed the construction of the first four deep water berths which did begin in the year of 1921, a few years before the country of Nigeria did gain independence while it still did exist under colonial rule of the British.The Apapa Port as of now, is well equipped with modern cargo handling equipment necessary for the day to day activities of the harbour and also, personnel support facilities making her cost effective and customer friendly. It does enjoy intermodal connection – Rail, Water and Road. It boasts of a four wheel gate of about 8 meters for oversize cargoes and this has given the Port an edge over others in the handling of oversized cargoes.However, while the port is usually very busy, today is not o
