Chapter 593 Sinking Slowly Like In A Trance
[HAWI]
Night did change to morning a little faster than Hawi had anticipated. As her friends had partied and even found themselves sleeping, Hawi had stayed wide awake like she wasn't in the mood to get some rest.
Her mind was plagued with thoughts of the girl she had loved with all of her. She wondered whether her Ruru was sleeping well at night or if she was tossing and turning wondering if her lost enemies would ever come.
Part of the deal that she had made with Islinda demanded that the queen be reminded that she had lost her memories and that they would eventually come back to her with time.
It was something that was meant to give her Ruru hope so that if she ever got flashes of memories, she wouldn't think that she was going insane. It was a selfless act but Hawi felt like she had been very selfish with her Ruru.
She would have just made the decision herself and taken back her Ruru, but the humanitarian crisis beyond Sicario that she triggered was something that he was determined to fix first so it wouldn't burden her Ruru.
Maybe there would come a better day for her and her Ruru but until then, Hawi would spend the rest of her lonely life thinking of the wolf who made her smile without putting in so much effort.
"She didn't sleep the entire night," the wolves whispered among themselves, their hearts shattering for the girl who had lost more than they could all ever imagine. None of them would ever bring her the solace she needed and they knew that too.
Perhaps that's why they had spent the night taking shifts to keep her company, Hawi had already noticed that because even her friend had taken shifts in sleeping just to make sure she didn't feel alone.
Granted, they didn't say anything in the time of their shirt other than act like they were staying awake and wanted to keep parking.

But Hawi knew this a little too well. Granted, her heart had swelled at the thought of them keeping her company, but she knew that they couldn't do this forever. She didn't want them to be walking on eggshells around her because that wouldn't be fair to them too.
They had families they needed to take care of and Hawi and the knights to keep her sane.
Anyone would think they were starving when in the real sense, they could conjure their food whenever they wanted to and felt like doing so. But where would the fun be in that, right?
"Sit at your tables or you won't get shit," Amina wanted with a smile and the new Sicario wolves obediently listened to Amina. Just like the previous night, they weren't scared about getting poisoned by the Russel siblings.
It was like suddenly they didn't have different last names and were just here as one community which was the new Sicario community. It was a beautiful sight, even as they faced each other and embraced the change like it was nothing.
Hawi's heart swelled at the sight once again, the unity making her feel steady once again. She wanted to say so much, and do so much, but she had just come back home, and she could tell that her people didn't want her straining herself.
What the hell was she supposed to do?
'Oh goddess, what is happening?' Hawi asked herself when she felt her eyes water and her sight get blurry. It was honestly strange to her that she almost felt like there was something coming for her people.
So instinctively, she conjured her blades, careful not to draw the attention of her people and her friends but they knew her a little too well.
"You're okay, Hawi. No one is coming again, you're okay," Elodie said softly to her sister who was looking at her in shock and confusion. It was ament of weakness for Hawi and it broke their hearts at how defensive she was ready to get.
Mbali, who had been watching Hawi in silence, felt her heart break for the girl before them. It had been so many years since she had seen Hawi like that and she knew that it always happened because she was overwhelmed with emotions.
That was also how Mbali knew that right now, the only emotion that could have Hawi in that state was related to Rukiya Greyson. It was a thought that hurt to the core and Mbali could only pray to the goddess to heal her friend.
"I... I don... I..." Hawi fumbled her words and Eelodiejust pulled her into a hug. She knew that this wasn't easy for her sister and hoped that Hawi would let her in along with the others. They would find a way to help her, if she needed to.
"I'm sorry... I just... Ruru would have loved to see us like this," Hawi sniffled.
And in that gentle noon, Hawi shed her first tear home.
