   Rogi and Anira-K booth stood shocked and surprised from the news their mother Moni told them.
   'Follow me my children.'- said Moni.
They followed her through the hallways filled with their photos from childhood and present.
   'Woow...'-  they said showing their amaze and happiness. They began to walk downstairs to something that looked like a medieval basement. Circular stairs, made out of blue-grey stone led the three of them to large steel door.
   'Prepare yourself.'- said Moni and put the key in the keyhole.
   'Eekk!!'- screamed the sibblings when they jumped behind their   mother.
   'Come on! You haven't even seen anything! I knew Anira-K was a scaredy CAT, but you Rogi? You disappoint me.'
   'S... sorry mom...'- Rogi replied.
Anira-K started to mock her brother.
   'For fuck sake stop it you two!- shouted Moni as she got more annoyed by those two, 'this is serious.'
  
   She pushed the door. There he was. In a dark room with no light, on his knees. He was gigantic. His appearance scared the siblings.
   'Saibot you may stand up.'- said Moni. The light from his back lighted up. One red eye shined on the floor. He stood up. A humongous body he had. Rogi watched carefully. He was afraid by the fact Saibot was over four meter tall and at least twice as wide as he was. He had a strong muscular body that was made half out of metal and half out of human skin. One of his eyes shined red. His back gave light blue light.
   'What is he? I have never seen a race like this...'- said Anira-K .
   'He's... buffed...'- added Rogi. You heard cracking and squeaking from Saibot's body.
   'This Anira-K, is a cyborg'- mother replied 'A... c... cyborg???'- questioning was readable off their faces. 'Yes, a cyborg. Saibot, this is your brother and sister. Introduce yourself.
   'Hello there siblings, biep, my name is Saibot and I am your brother, biep.'
   'But how is this even possible? He is half human half...,' 'Half robot yes...'- Moni inturrapted Rogi.
   'When you were five years old I became pregnant with Saibot. But that was different than the time I had you two.' She turned to her children. 'Once I was walking home from the bargain market I was kidnapped
   'W... what!?'- Rogi and Anira-K inurrupted her. With eyes wide open they could not believe what their beloved mother was saying.
   'Yes. I was kidnapped. When the mankind saw what I brought to this world all the scientist wanted to experiment with me. They wanted me to be able to produce human that were even better than those of back in time.'- she continued.
   'Is that why you were gone for so long back then?'- Anira-K asked.
   'Yes'- replied Moni, 'I was taken in by some sort of a Ninja. She worked for herself. She gave me a shot of anaesthesia. I woke up in a dark room. I could not see the top of my own nose. Suddenly a bright light was shined right on my face. I tried to move, but my body was still weak from that damn drug. Then I realised I was tied up. I was scared and did not know what awaited me.' You could see sadness and anger on the faces of her children. 'I thought I would never get my of there. "What do you want from me!?" I shouted. She replied saying she will create a new humankind with my help. She abused me, gave me only some hormone shots to see how it will affect the baby.   After 9 months of torture Saibot came out. He didn't look like this. His body was normal, but he could regenerate outstandingly fast. That's when she started the tests on him. I shouted to her that she had to leave him alone. She refused. She said she does not need me anymore. The next day I fell unconscious and woke up outside of a ranch building in the middle of a fores, I heard a baby cry. I ran as fast as I could to find the entrance. Suddenly a fire burst out. I could see the little body of Saibot laying there on the table. It was horrible he missed his left arm and his legs. Ninja was nowhere to see. I took Saibot and ran off into the unknown. I saw a small hut between the trees. Saibot could not regenerate. He was too weakened to do anything. I saw him dying slowly and in pain. When I arrived at the small house a small dwarf opened the door. "Dear god what happened to you?" He said. I cried for help. I was a lucky woman that day. His name was Arki. He was an old smith. He was also interested in robots and electronics. I could see all kinds of metal skeletons hanging inside. "In sorry... I don't think he will make it" he said to me.'- a tear fell from Moni's eye.
   'Mother...'- said Anira-K.
   'It's okay my dear'- replied Moni. 'He put him on a wooden table set on the lamp and took his tools. He said it was better for me to stay in the other room. Few hours later he came to me and looked at me. "He should be alright" he said. I was relieved. I started to cry. He started to ask questions. And I told him the whole story. He took me to Saibot and I looked at him with happiness in my heart and tears in my eyes. Arki gave him robotic limbs. "His bodycells connected to the metal atoms somehow. Now he and his metal arm and legs seem to have become one. He also lost an eye so I added an cyber eye replacement and connected it to his brain. I could not take Saibot with you. Because I was afraid I could not handle it with three of you. So I left him to Arki. Now, fifteen years later he died. He heard that I became the so called queen of Asian territory so he told Saibot to look for me. Little I know he could grow so big.'
   'Because my body is one with metal I can produce my own metal atoms to allow metal to grow with my human body'- said Saibot. 'Yes... Yes you are a wonderful being.'
   'But what about the Ninja!? We need to get her!'- shouted Anira-K, 'I swear to Neptune if I get her she won't get away alive'- Rogi followed.
   'I have not heard of her nor I had seen her. I guess she gave it up.'
   'She needs to be punished!'- shouted Rogi, 'we need to forgive our enemies.'
   'But-', 'No but Anira-K! She clearly had it a lot harder than I did. I needed you to get to know Saibot, your brother. He will be there to help you any time. Here' Moni gave all of them a necklace 'whenever you feel endangered, press it. This way you can find each other and so can Saibot find you. Especially you Rogi. You must have heard about the coming marrige of your enemies.'
   'Yes, I still can't believe the son of Essen will be marrying Keshii, the daughter of the orc king.'
   'He probably wants to make an alliance with orcs to once and for all endthe war and finally take your kingdom in his hands.'
   'Well little he know but that won't be a success. Certainly if I use some help of my big bro here, right Saibot?'
   'But of course brother, biep.'
