Leo let out a sigh of relief when Horo finally reappeared, five minutes before they planned to seek him out in the real world.
"Thank God you're back, Horo. Any changes on your end?"
Silence.
Horo stood there, unmoving. No quip, no sarcastic remark—just an unsettling, heavy pause.
Leo frowned as he observed the usually aloof and smiling snake was trembling on the spot in utter silence.
Something must have happened, Even to the untrained eye, he looked terrified!
Lily was the first to close the distance, reaching up and placing her hands on Horos cheeks so he would have to look into her eyes.
"What happened Horo…You look like you've seen a ghost"
Horo flinched at the word ghost before he groaned. He closed his eyes for a few moments before he let out a strained chuckle.
"You know I might have seen something…..worse."
Leo and Luna expressions tensed up, nervous to hear what Horo had faced while Lily tilted her head, concerned.
