i loooove the idea of when hawu dies in EW, the azem stone activates a sort of failsafe and channels a past iteration of azem… his azem has a lingering power of foresight, so he channelled a small portion of his soul to act independently and fused it with the stone. it took a lot of power and he falls into a deep slumber afterward 💭 bust most likely is way before the end times for them

once it resonates, he takes control of hawu’s body, a little surprised at being in a body so different and unique in comparison to what he’s used to. in hawu’s canon he interacts with azem very sparingly multiple times, but whether that’s another past iteration or an azem of another plane, im not sure yet 🫶🏽 he escorts him back to the mouth of the ship. the possession doesn’t last long, and the power thins after a certain time inside his body 😭 and he mutters some words into the stone clutches in hawu’s palm before fading away. hawu crumples to his knees — unfortunately on the very very edge of life, but i think azem’s momentary awakening infused him with enough life force to last until the scions get their paws on him.

the most deliciously painful part is i think thancred hears something and comes to the door the moment hawu falls to the ground HO HO HO

hawu’s azem, icarus, smiling mischievously and looking off to the side. he has dark red hair, with a swept over fringe. he’s in his ancient robes.

From L-R: Square 1, clothes, shows a person’s profile on a helm and suit of armour against a deep orange background. Square 2, colour, shows a swirl of fiery orange and yellows, akin to the Azem stone colour. Square 3: eyes, shows a swirl of pink and orange colours, to reference Hawu’s peaches and cream heterochromia. Square 4, flower, shows art by Elizabeth Bowman. My favourite rendition of a magnolia flower. Square 5, OC, shows Hawu! A brown skinned rava viera looking off to the side. His high neck white top collar and a sliver of his shoulder pauldron are visible. Square 6, animal, shows a three headed hound art by Alchenart. Hawu is very much a loyal hound, typical of the knight trope. Think Henry of KCD2… Square 7, hair, shows in the blurry foreground, a cut off side view of a man thumbing at his lip, with his bare arm on show, and a man in the clear background eyeing him up. The man in the background has a longish fringe, tousled and messy, with a slightly shorter back and sides. Square 8, location, shows concept art for Dalmasca in FFXII :) Square 9, quote, is a quote from The Enchanted Wood by Enjd Blyton. It reads: Voices cry out in trees, and fingers beckon, the wings of a million butterflies are sunlit eyes – there is no sword in the enchanted wood.

The sealing of Hydaelyn's blessing feels like the gutting of a fruit's flesh. It was smooth, the way Midgardsormr digs into him—cold at first, the gathering of sheer aetheric light stabbing through his sternum - and then nigh unbearable. Stifling. It slides through his chest, through the wall of muscle, through the gaps of his ribcage and out from the other side of his heart. He feels suspended in amber, stuck in the hazy line of falling and not falling, struggling to breathe at — not pain, per se, but pressure. Pressure and then… nothing. An unintelligible presense comforts the exit wound and spreads up, and around his shoulders like a tepid bath. The presence lifts him back to stand up, but his eyes close before the ball of his foot reaches floor. Darkness. A glimmer of stars. The crystals he'd worked so hard to claim each rust with a lack of colour, one by one. The one thing that made him useful, gone in an instant. Strands of hair fall into his eyes from where they're brushed into a makeshift ponytail once he surfaces, and he takes a large gasp of air that rushes into down his throat. He can't tell if it's been seconds or hours, but despite it all Midgardsormr remains, all encompassing. The shadow he casts across the dais smothers Hawu. Sons must answer for their fathers' misdeeds, the dragon corpse rumbled out. I shall watch… and listen… and wait.

someone's going to die (of fun!) #hawuverse

A vieran Warrior of Light scowls with a curled lip, clearly distressed, hand up to his ear where his linkpearl rests. He's in the middle of a dungeon, torch lights casting over him. He says: "Thancred! Can you hear me? There's no way past the rubble, I...Thancred? Can you--?" A "bzzt!" sound interrupts him. Thancred then speaks over him, most likely unaware Hawu had spoken first: "It seems-- aetheric interference--.. too costly to turn b--...k. I do hope--...hear these wo...ds... We... -- rend...zvous at... the cavern's e...trance." The call cuts off with a Bzzt! Under his breath, Hawu mutters: "Of course..."

Hawu squeezes his eyes shut in frustration, lowering his hand as the linkpearl cuts off. His lip is pulled into his cheek as he breathes through his nostils.

Hawu turns to carry on through the dungeon, hoping to reunite with his companions. He looks up at the roof of the cavern, torch aches flickering through the air. He huffs out: "Of-bloody-course."

That old dungeon-earthquake-knocks-rubble-down-and-seperates-you-and-your-companions chestnut.

A screenshot of part one of some writing: The crunch is a distant memory to him. He’s in his body, but it’s not the him-now. More the him-then. The him-now was knelt against uncomfortable crystal, clenching for anything to grip—fabric, an ankle. Time was a circle, a track he was forced to run around endlessly here, in the here-now. He panted shudderingly, sweat trailing down and around the curve of his upper lip. He tasted it and tried not to wretch, forcing himself to remember that This wasn’t Now. They were two different things, two different Hawu’s, running perpendicular to each other. Crossed lines like the veins under his skin. He knew the next part because this had kept him up every night since crossed blades at Ghimlyt Dark. The dark circles under his eyes had lessened only slightly, but they remained nonetheless. A deep, wet gasp from below his blade. He struggled to keep his gaze on the cloaked figure that stood indifferent above him, but the peripheral melted into a dark, red battlefield. There are cries accompanied with the clash of weapons being brought down. The painful creak of Magitek armour welcoming the hit, an otherworldly reverberation.

A screenshot of part two of some writing: “Being confronted with your ignorance is an ever shocking experience, no?” Elidibus’ voice is crackling, like the last vestiges being spat out of an orchestrion. Two things can be true: he is there in front of Hawu, gripping his chin with gloved fingers, looking down with an almost oppressive disinterest, and he isn’t actually there at all. “Mmf,” he tries, words clinging to the back of his throat and not letting go. He takes another shuddering breath and tries again, gripping at Elidibus’ gloved hand. “Let… go o’ me….” “Though I’m sure you would very much like that — it’s a no, I’m afraid. The night is young, after all.” He tosses him to the side and Hawu crumbles into a heap, heaving. “And I would quite like to get to the bottom of your misdeeds, after all.”

an alternate take on how the 5.3 interaction between the wol and elidibus goes. yes the people he’s failed to save appear but he also relives past battles!!!

a black rava viera stands in a princess’ garb, clutching a book, a sword, and between her fingers dangles a coin necklace. she wears a hennin, with a teal cointoise draped from the point of the hat.

PERCEPTION [Medium: Success] - Another look at the young man and the image shatters in a prism of potential. Sheer power locked up behind cool temperament. A sense of trepidation befalls you as he walks by, hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
