Chapter 241 : Come Back Home... Hawi



After the little show in Sicario, the Savasci knights and their leaders resorted to training for the final bout of the war. For two whole weeks, they had trained themselves while getting a handle on the magic that would be coursing through them.

With the spell that Hawi, Malika, and Mbali had cast on them, none of the warriors would have fallen at the end of the day. That was more encouraging than anything, because at least they were certain that they would be going back home to their loved ones.

It had been an intense session given Hawi trained with Malika, Mbali, Adolf, and Ruru at the same time. Anyone would think they were training to murder each other, as they were using real weapons and attacking each other for real.

If the warriors didn\'t know any better they would have assumed that the five of them were preparing to kill each other but that was beyond them. These four were lethal warriors and soon enough it was clear that Adolf had upskilled.

Maybe the psychos he was training with were not so bad, right? Well as long as they were enemies, they were safe with each other and in the war that they were prepping for, they would be met with worse challenges.

"Awuor, are you sure about this?" Elodie asked later that evening. She had been used to seeing Hawi fight but even she knew that her best friend was in a lot of pain. It was the kind that shattered hearts.

She knew that it wasn\'t going to be easy taking down Razia Greyson. Besides, the fact that Malika and Hawi were the ones going after Razia made it one of the scariest missions ever. It was unhinged.

"Of course. I can\'t keep running, sister. I can\'t keep pretending that my life is never going to be normal again. I can\'t keep putting everything off, just because I am desperate for a little touch with reality.

"All of this started with me and I need to know why the fuck Razia really wanted me dead. I need to know what was so wrong with my existing that she had to take me out. Surely she could have waited, yeah?

"If she had come after me directly, I wouldn\'t have minded, sister. But she went after others. She betrayed her best friend, a woman who was loyal to their friendship. She went against everything sacred about friendships and didn\'t care one bit.

"I need to know what it was about mother that made her an easy target, and I need to know why the fuck Razia chose to befriend her. No one breaks their best friend\'s heart like that. It just doesn\'t make any sense.

"Maybe I am reaching… But I lost everything in their hands. A little more time and I would have lost you too, given you rebelled against her. I can\'t keep losing the people I love, Sister.

"If everyone were to leave me, I know you would still stay. And I need to make sure that you\'re not hurt by being my best friend and sister. So, this is me going to get answers. I hope you understand that," Hawi said softly and Elodie just nodded.

In all their time together, Elodie had known Hawi was a good strategist. She had known that the woman just never woke up and did things for the sake of it. Even the breaths she took were calculated.

"Then you must promise to come back to me, Awuor. I can\'t lose you in this war. I know this is probably crazy, but I can\'t lose you, sister. I have been fighting for us since the very beginning and I understand that this is one you must do alone.

"So I hope asking you to come back home isn\'t too much, Sister," Elodie said and Hawi just stared at her softly. She used to hate affection, but then watching the cold Elodie Kane going soft for her like this, was reassuring.

At least one of them was still in touch with their humanity.

"I will do my best to come back home, Elodie. But sister, you must know that the forces we are up against is as simple as the Sicario army. Lives will be lost, and one of them might be mine.

"If that happens, I need you to move on, and not blame yourself. I need you to be happy with Malika or wherever you will eventually get mated to. Of course, we both hope to come back, but reality might be a little different," Hawi explained reassuringly.

"That works for me," Elodie said after a short silence before pulling Hawi into a hug.

They had entered the final phase of the Sicario war and the preliminaries of whatever he was waiting for her as the white wolf. It wasn\'t going to be easy, but at least they both knew the consequences.

"Don\'t be too scared Elodie… this is just like another war, right? We will win and come home to eat bush meat. Should be fun!" Hawi said and Elodie just chucked. This was simply Hawi trying to get her to relax and frankly, she appreciated it.

After the little chat with Elodie, Hawi knew that it was time for them to go their separate ways. She knew it wasn\'t going to be easy for them all, but then this had to be done. Malika had already geared up, given she and Hawi were leaving first.

Rukiya Greyson was watching her mate in silence. She looked so proud of Hawi and so supportive of whatever the hell they would do over there. As much as it still hurt to know that her mate was going after her mother, Rukiya understood that this had to be done.

She had spent the past weeks trying to make it make sense but then nothing ever made sense to them. It was almost like Razia Greyson had just woken up and deiced to fuck everyone up. They had to figure out the whys.

It wasn\'t going to be easy, but then this had to be done, and they both knew it. Maybe at the end of the day, they would be back home and celebrating. They wouldn\'t have to worry about whatever the hell had happened out there.

And they wouldn\'t have to worry about how bloody their hands would have to be before they got to the bottom of it all. Maybe that would make it easier, and even if it didn\'t, it was worth trying, right?

"So this is it, my beautiful," Hawi said to Rukiya. She had been thinking of the best goodbye speech, but each time, she came up with blanks, because everything in her head screamed the kind of goodbye that would break Rukiya\'s heart.

Today wasn\'t about ruining the day for her woman, and she would try as much as possible to make it work for the both of them.

"Yeah… get us the answers alright," Rukiya said and Hawi just nodded in understanding. There was more they could say but they were leaving it all for later. Perhaps at the end of the day, they would come back to it, right?

"I will. Meanwhile, you take care alright? And I\'ll see you soon. Very soon," Hawi said as she kissed her goodbye one last time. Maybe it would all get better soon.

Just maybe.
