"I apologize in advance," was all Estelle managed to hear before an invisible force pulled her towards the mysterious portal.
It wasn't until she was on the other side that she realized, and she was terrified.
"My children!" she exclaimed, falling onto the soft green lawn.
Amanda fell next to her. Even as a Golden-ranked Contractor, she couldn't resist the force, and she was also dragged into the portal.
Estelle had no time to get up when two smiling babies appeared from the portal. She immediately rushed to them, caught them and hugged them tightly.
"My boys."
It wasn't until she felt their weight and warmth in her arms that she felt her anxiety recede.
Amanda turned around and looked at Estelle and her children and at the portal that had disappeared, leaving them in an unknown place.
In front of them towered a two-story wooden building, whose windows glowed from the lamps. Lifting her head, Amanda saw vast expanses of stars and even a glowing moon.
