The party was waiting on the fringes of the village waiting for Horo and the 'complication' he spoke of. Luna was starting to shadow box as she imagined that the issue Horo was bringing would make her want to beat him up.
"He sure is taking his sweet ass time. Can we leave without him~?"
Nyx called out from the nearby tree that she had climbed out of sheer boredom. Her legs dangled as she draped herself over a sturdy branch.
Before Luna could reply, movement from the village entrance caught their attention. A tall figure strode confidently toward them, his silver hair catching the sunlight.
Horo.
But he wasn't alone.
A stunning woman with cherry-red hair and streaks of silver walked beside him, wings neatly folded at her back. Her presence was striking—too striking to ignore.
The party went silent.
Then—
"…Who's the hottie?"
Nyx asked, tilting her head as interest sparkled in her eyes. .
Horo's lips twitched.
"This is the, uh, 'complication' I mentioned."
