Chapter 356 The Unexpected Persona
[HAWI]
"What?" Ruru questioned as she looked at the mess that Nikolai Russel was. This man seemed determined to fuck himself up in all ways to hell and frankly, it was getting tiring trying to hold back when it came to him.
He had messed up and he owned it and instead of making things a little lighter so the chance of him leaving with his life was increased, he seemed determined to screw up over and over.
Maybe he had an affliction for screwing up because there was just no way that he would ever be able to make this work unless he was dead.
That was the only option left for him in a battle that had no survivors, a battle he was aware of, but one that got him to think his immortality would give him a fast pass at.
At that moment Ruru could see the rage in Hawi's eyes and she knew hell had finally come on earth. This woman was the devil herself and yet Nik had still gone ahead and tried to screw up with that. Experience more on empire
"Goddess help your soul," Ruru whispered defeatedly, her heart feeling terrible for Nik and yet at the same time, she was waiting to see what version of hell Nik had upgraded himself into.
"He talks too much," Hawi pointed out casually, the anger in her voice evident as she cast a fire spell right above Nik's body that was still bound to the cross and still on the ground.
The fire was agitating and with Hawi's magic earlier turning it against Nik, the shadow warlock was in for a really long night this time.
Hawi didn't care what this meant because Mbali had been hurt. The bastard that tried to take that which was hers and she wouldn't stop until she got the answers that she needed.
However, for now, she needed to make sure the bastard was destroyed, and in so much pain that he would never be been to think of anything else other than the pain he was feeling.

Hawi needed him to bend the knee in so many ways, but she would make certain of it, once she was sure her warrior was safe and protected.
Seeing Mbali down did have an effect on her, something that he hadn't expected, but then it wasn't like she had been camping around and waiting for the fates to come and help her, right?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Fucking hell, you bitch!" Nik growled at the white wolf who was staring at him with a smug look on her face before she went back to focus on Mbali like Nik didn't mean shit to her.
Well, to be fair, Nik didn't mean anything to Hawi. He was just another person on the longs list of the people that Hawi had promised to put and end to and right now there was nothing that would stop Hawi from doing what she wanted.
She would experiment with Nik later and no one would stop her after all, she was the werewolf queen, wasn't she? And her first responsibility was always going to be to make sure that the realm was safe, no?
Well, Nikolai had proved more than once that he was a menace, once that Hawi needed to be rid of sooner than anyone would have thought possible. She was done with him.
"Now who's crying like a bitch, huh?" Rukiya mocked Nik when she heard his screams turn into angry growls. He sounded mad, but it was music to Ruru's heart and frankly, if she could make this into a music festival she would have.
But she couldn't do that, at least not now because of the state that Mbali was in.
It was heartbreaking to see so many fonts and it hurt a lot. Maybe when the sun came up they would have a solution but the fact that one of them had been hurt, was something that they still don't know how to work around.
It was like they had this urge to make things work and yet at the same time, they needed to make sure that it was all worth it when they were done. Perhaps they would find a way around it, yeah?
While Ruru was still mocking Nik and making sure that he felt the point of it all, Malika was getting agitated and it was like he was slowly finding out who she had been seeking.
It was something like a long shot, but regardless of what it was, they were at a point where they needed to be able to make things work, for themselves, it didn't matter how long this would take because Malika wasn't going to let her sister die.
Immortality was a fight and the Black locust poison was not going to deprive her sister of that. She hadn't worked her ass off for so many years just to lose her sister to the menaces of the realm.
"What are you looking for, Malika?"
At Hawi's question, Malika came to a stop.
She wasn't sure how long she had been going back and forth but if the screams on Nikolai were anything to go by, then it had to mean she had been in that state for a while now.
Her sister was still on the ground, groaning so much pain even though they all didn't know why this had happened.
Malika was indifferent and it was understandable seeing how she was helpless with her sister, but the fact that she hadn't stepped closer to her sister this whole time was worth noting.
She hadn't even gone to see how Mbali was affected, so that made Hawi wonder if there was something that she didn't know. And looking into the eyes of her protector, Hawi could see a lot of emotions.
There was anger, and frankly, there was disappointment and disbelief, and more than anything, for the first time since she had met Malika, Hawi saw raw fear in the protector's eyes.
That shit wasn't pleasing at all and that was also how Hawi knew that this was more serious than any of them had dared to mention. Maybe she was the only one who didn't understand the magnitude of it all but goddamn, was it really that bad for Mbali?
"Mistress–" Malika whimpered, her head slowly lifting to look at Hawi who was staring at her softly. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to start explaining this.
When Mbali had almost been attacked by Greyson, Malik had made sure that they didn't talk about it as much because then it would be like agreeing that the mess was really happening and even worse, that there was really someone who could make her sister vulnerable.
If she came clean to Hawi right now, there was a chance that Hawi would blame her for not taking the right precautions. Malika had done her best to make sure her sister was safe and seeing her here like this was breaking her heart into endless pieces.
She was strong, sure, but Malika had never wanted her sister to be strong. When she had come back into Mbali's life even though they never talked kindly about their past and still had so many loopholes Malika had promised to make it all better.
Funny how their happiness only lasted seven months and now her sister was in pain again and there wasn't a thing that she could do despite being the protector.
"That's not an answer, Malika." Hawi was being honest with the protector.
She wanted real answers and not the protector trying to take the easiest way out of this pain, because if anything happened to Mbali, it would affect their performance as a team.
It would raise questions about what the fuck needed to be done to make sure the team never lost anyone. Then had already lost too much, but then what else was there?
Maybe it was time for Malika to be honest, right?
"Amina," Malika responded, her voice low like that was a name she never wanted to mention anywhere near her sister.
But then again in the history of the impossible, Amina had been the only impossibility that could have made this shitshow a reality and now they were both frying the price for it.
This was not how the mission was to be, but then if Amina was here, what the fuck was she aiming for?
"What?" the Savasci Knights all asked at the same time.
Mbali was not sure she had heard her sister well but damn that was surprising as hell. The last time she had seen me was a brief moment, one that the woman had just started in her room in reason and not said much.
If Amina was there then there was much that they needed to work around, not to mention the fact that Malika had never really the sword of the Amina bond. This situation right here had just made it difficult for Malika to change her mind about the woman in the shadows.
Perhaps this was never meant to be right?
Ruru and Hawi stared at Malika, like they had heard the rest of things.
They didn't understand what the hell that meant, but they had to remember that in the past few months, they had never talked about the Amina situation well or even thought of what it would mean for them.
The Amina topic was one they only thought of just to tease Mbali and let her know that her soulless heart was finally waiting for someone. That was all there was to it, but then now it seems like Amina was a threat to Mbali and that couldn't be tolerated.
"What the fuck do you mean by Amina, Malika?"
