[Master, there is a letter for you, from Yin,] Jeremy called as he clanked his way into Chikira's living area, seeing the swallow in question sleeping soundly. The robot dog made a "tsk" sound, before jumping on his master's bed and poking him with his claw. [Master, you are needed.]

"One... one more minute..." Chikira murmured sleepily. Jeremy sighed and engaged a few settings in his vocal chip. Then, he raised his head and belted out a simulation of a loud wolf howl - enough to get the swallow's attention.

Chikira was instantly jolted awake, and flailed about trying to shield his ears from the sound. "Ahhh... what... what is it?" he managed upon seeing his faithful companion.

[Yin has sent you a letter. It seems urgent,] Chikira's companion replied, depositing a thin envelope with an attached piece of paper on the outside in his lap.

Chikira picked it up and cut it open, deciding to read his lover's note first.

''Chikira,

''I need you to come to my house quickly. My family is in danger again... from an old foe that we thought was defeated. The sooner you get here, the better. I hope we can make it in time...

-Yin

Chikira stared at Yin's writing, wondering what was wrong. Noticing the paper attached to the envelope, he picked it up and read that as well.

''To the Sairon family,

''We have returned. You may not believe it, but we have managed to be revived and reborn after many years of dormancy. We have become stronger - faster - more cunning. You can't stop us.

''We have the prince and heir to the throne. If you want him back, you will face us in person. Do not leave us waiting - we have little patience for those who do not entertain us.''

There was no signature. Chikira didn't need one to know that he had to act fast. Throwing off his blankets, he proceeded to get dressed and geared up, Jeremy watching all the while. "We need to get going fast. Don't know who these guys are, but they're after Yin's family."

The robotic canine nodded. [We must get to Yin's residence posthaste.]

Chikira checked to make sure he had everything - blades, bandolier, revolver. Everything was in its place. With a flick of his head, the two left his Techno Cave and traveled to Yin.
