Terra wasted no time getting back to the house after he received his Master's unusual text message. Ducking into a nearby alley, he stretched out his left hand and called the darkness forth, letting just enough of it gather to create a portal in front of him. He directed the shadowy passageway to his bathroom, trusting it was one place in the Departure house he could safely step into without fear of being seen. Once he was sure the darkness had dissipated fully, he dismissed his armor and headed out to the living room to look for his friends and Master.

It seemed his return had been especially quick: save for their small menagerie of pets, the house was empty.

Terra settled down in a chair, his eyes following his direwolf as Oro paced around the room and occasionally vanished into the hallway leading to the front door.
