3. Rift.

With a flash of light, a girl's figure appeared. She had beautiful golden hair with a petite body, medium-sized breasts, but still a body that makes women wail in shame, and men drool.

She opened her bright blue eyes and looked around her, she was currently in the forest middle of nowhere.

''Did I go back in time?'' Aeriel thought anxiously.

''...But where am I...'' Aeriel thought aloud while looking around her.

She wasn't in the Elven Kingdom anymore, which is the first time she is actually out of the Kingdom, because her family was very protective, and now she will go to the Earth, where countless dangers lie, but she didn't have even the slightest of hesitation within her.

'Luke...' Aeriel thought with a clenched face and firm expression.

*Crack*

*Step*

Footsteps echoed in the forest.

''Hey, is this the place?'' Aeriel heard a noise come not far from her, she quickly decided to jump into the tree and hide her presence.

''World Tree said that the Rift will open in this spot.'' Another voice said, Aeriel saw multiple figures appearing, they stopped walking and stood in the same spot as Aeriel was standing previously.

Aeriel looked at the figures and saw that everyone looked different with different characteristics. 'Representatives!' Aeriel widened her eyes, she was really back in time, because the Representatives never returned from Earth.

Aeriel looked around and saw a figure of Elderly Elf. 'Avery.' Aeriel thought, Avery was the Representative of the Elves.

''How are we going to do this?'' The dwarf said with a grumpy tone, he had every characteristic dwarf has A trunk of average size, short limbs, short fingers, a large head with a flat nose bridge, and a high forehead.

Avery with a thoughtful pose said. ''We don't know anything about Humans, maybe talking with their leader is our best bet.'' Avery has long grey hair, with a wrinkly face, usually Elf's age slower than other races, which meant that Avery was over 1000 years. He was standing around 150cm with hunched back and a long beard.

''...I guess, but the question is, will they listen to us.'' A male voice said, he has the head, arms, and the torso of a man, but then the rest of the parts of him were horses, he was the representative of Centaurs.

''This mission is dangerous, I can feel it.'' A female Nymph said, she has a very child-like body with short green hair, also she has grey eyes with a small pointy nose, and smooth-looking skin. Even though she looks barely 12 years old, she is over a hundred years old.

''We don't have other choices, either we help them, or the entire human race gets destroyed,'' Avery said.

Aeriel was sitting on the top of the tree while listening to their conversation, she knew that something happened to the Representatives, but no one knew for sure what, but most of them guessed that humans attacked them... but then humans started arriving at the New World, and many asked from them, but no one knew anything.

Some of the humans already showed their excessive greed once they arrived at the New World, which created a bridge between Humans and other races.

Other races thought of Humans as unpredictable, while humans' greed couldn't fit well with other races.

It doesn't mean that the other races aren't greedy, but Humans thought of themselves as superior at first, because in the New World no one invented the so-called technology, while Humans did and that made them arrogant, but then the other races showed them magic.

It made most of the humans fascinated, they wanted to learn it, but Mana Core is needed for it, and humans didn't have it. It made them greedy and angry.

With their arrogance, they thought that the other races lied to them.

And all that happened in 5 days of them entering the New World. Aeriel thought what would happen a year from now on, there might be an all-out war, but without their technology, how could Humans win, especially when they have only 4% of their population left.

Aeriel didn't care about that for now, her sole mission is to meet with her soulmate and recover his memories.

Aeriel waited for another hour in boredom, waiting for anything to happen.

The Representatives were very tense, she couldn't blame them, if they knew the same things as she, about Humanity and about their personalities, they would never want to go there.

*Whoosh*

The wind started blowing faster and faster in the forest, the Representatives and Aeriel got rid of their drowsiness and concentrated.

...Then out of nowhere... Golden Rift started forming, it was very tiny at first, but then it became over 10 meters in height, it was still a lot smaller than on Earth.

''Let's go!'' Avery yelled and the Representatives ran to the Golden Rift.

Aeriel's heart was beating very fast, she felt her soulmate calling to her.

She jumped out of the tree and landed on the ground with *Thud*

''I am coming my dear~'' Aeriel ran and entered the Golden Rift.

...

*Earth*

*WHOOOSH*

Aeriel exited the Golden Rift, she quickly looked around her but saw no one around her.

She quickly put the black hood over her head, covering her features, she looked around her, she was very fascinated atter seeing all the buildings around her with some kind of metal coffins moving around the street with 4 wheels.

Aeriel was looking at everything with wide eyes.

She was currently in the alley somewhere, she has about 5 days before Black Hole arrives, which means she definitely needs to find Luke in few days and start their journey back to the Rift.

She fixed her hood, so no one can see her features, but the black cloak around her body couldn't diminish her beauty at all, especially with a cute body like her, she still attracted a lot of attention.

She started walking through the streets and saw all the TV screens and the shows showing, but then an image appeared on the TV screen, it was an image of a rift.

Most of the passersby's stopped walking and looked at the screen in confusion.

Aeriel watched as a female and male human started talking about the rifts, which caused some massive panic to appear on the streets around Aeriel.

Aeriel stopped watching the TV shortly afterward and kept walking through the streets, but everywhere she walked, she saw the image of a rift in every screen.

'Luke... Where could he be...' Aeriel thought deeply, she could feel her soulmate's connection, but she can't pinpoint it perfectly, but she feels him... And he is not far away.

''KYAA!'' Aeriel heard a loud scream and saw multiple humans robbing a store, possibly caused by massive panic in the world right now after Rift appeared.

*Crash*

*Crack*

Windows breaking in almost every store while the cars were getting stolen, it was absolute mayhem around the streets, but it happened everywhere in the world as well.

Aeriel shook her head and started running in the streets, with her Elf physique she is far superior in terms of Agility to any human. People only saw a blur of a person running in the streets, no one knew was that hallucination or something else.

Aeriel took a pearl-like item from her pocket and held it tightly, she wasn't sure where she is supposed to go, but she believes that the soulmate connection will bring them together.

Soulmate connection can even bring people who are on another side of the world together, and Aeriel was sure that she isn't far from him, which means she could only run and might find her soulmate connection with luck, it is a mysterious thing but the soulmate connection is a very powerful thing.

Aeriel shortly afterward exited the city area, she made her way towards a gate that led to some kind of neighborhood.

She saw a human guarding the gate, but with her agility, she easily jumped over the gate and jumped through the roofs of the buildings.

'I can feel him!' Aeriel thought anxiously, with a sweet smile on her beautiful face, she started to look around the neighborhood.

She saw kids playing while some mothers talking about the Rift.

It was a very peaceful neighborhood.

Aeriel felt her heart start beating faster and faster, her instincts told her to look to the left, and she did.

She saw a brown-haired young man bringing a bag to the trash can.

Her face was flushed in red, she hid her on the roof so that no one can notice her.

Her eyes looked at him deeply and saw him about to enter the house until he turned his head and looked in her direction.

She quickly hid and hoped that he didn't notice her.

She took a quick glimpse towards him and saw that he was thinking deeply, he shrugged his shoulders and entered his house.

Her heart calmed down, she put her soft hand on her chest and started breathing deeply.

'I found him...' Aeriel thought with a giggle, her beautiful oval-shaped face was flushed in red which gave her a very beautiful and cute look, it is a face any man would go crazy for.

All the Elf's are beautiful and handsome, while her mother the Queen of Elf's are the most beautiful of them all, but Aeriel is still young in Elf years, she would be 18 years old in human years, but her looks are already rivaling her mother's.

She will definitely be divine-like beauty in the future, and also the future Queen of Elven Kingdom.

...But currently, she is stalking a human boy.

She jumped around the roofs and arrived at the house which was in front of Luke's house.

She could see from the window Luke's figure, sitting on the couch while looking at the image of the Rift.

She can clearly feel Luke's excitement, Aeriel tilted her head. 'He obviously wants to go... Why didn't he?'

...But then she saw the metal coffin arriving at the house, and three figures stepped out of it and quickly made their way over to the house.

She was curious and jumped over to the roof of Luke's house.

With her enhanced hearing, she heard voices inside the house.

''World is completely crazy right now,'' Edward said angrily.

Her wife, Sara hugged her daughter tightly. ''What is happening!''

''I am scared...'' Emma said with a slightly teary tone.

''I know sweety, I am sure this all will be over soon.'' Sara started to pacify her daughter.

Edward turned his head. he looked at Luke. ''What are they talking about in the news?''

Luke sighed. ''Some people entered it, no one came back.''

''...Maybe they need time to exit the Rift?'' Edward guessed.

Luke shrugged his shoulders. ''They sent a cameraman in the Rift, the moment he entered, the video feed was cut off, I think it's a one-way journey.''

''Why are you so sure that it is a portal, It could be some kind of deathtrap, everyone who enters dies!'' Sara angrily stated.

Luke looked at her in the eye. ''I can feel it.''

Sara rolled her eyes. ''That's just your imagination playing with you.''

Luke sighed and shook his head.

In the roof of the house.

Aeriel with a flushed face thought. 'His voice is so soothing...'

...But then Aeriel heard a loud commotion from the house.

An image was shown on the TV... About people coming from the Rift...

The Visitors.
