I am an Alien in another reality.

Alex's crystalline shuttle glided effortlessly toward Earth, the blue marble of this universe shining brightly in the void. Arwen sat beside him, her eyes wide with wonder, taking in the brilliance of space and the approaching planet. Lily, perched on her shoulder in her fairy form, shimmered with excitement.

As the shuttle slowed to sub-light speed, Alex hailed Planetary Union Central.

"Union Central, this is Alex requesting permission to land."

A calm, warm voice responded over the comms. "Permission granted, Your Excellency Alex. Welcome to Earth. We've been expecting you."

The shuttle descended through the atmosphere; it glitters like gem as its crystalline hull catch the sunlight. They approached Union Central, a vast complex of futuristic buildings and verdant parks, Arwen leaned closer to the viewport.

"It's beautiful," she whispered.

"It is," Alex agreed. "And now you'll get to see how they manage their affairs."

The shuttle hovered in the central square, drawing curious gazes from the delegation waiting below. The vessel's lower hull shifted seamlessly, a ramp extending gracefully to the ground.

Alex stepped out first, clad in his silver robe. Arwen followed in similar attire, her elegance undeniable, a soft breeze teasing her long silver hair. The delegation murmured in awe, their eyes darting between the couple and the shimmering shuttle.

The lead admiral, a tall man with graying hair and sharp eyes, stepped forward, offering a respectful nod. "Your Excellency, we received your message, but we did not anticipate your companion."

Alex smiled, a warmth in his gaze. "Allow me to introduce my wife, Arwen."

Arwen inclined her head with a gentle smile. "Greetings. It's an honor to meet you."

The admiral's expression softened, clearly impressed. "The honor is ours, Lady Arwen. Welcome to Earth."

Other members of the delegation—admirals, ambassadors, and scientists—introduced themselves, each exchanging polite greetings with Alex and Arwen.

One representative, a Xelayan with sharp features, remarked, "We are delighted to have you."

Lily, still in her tiny form, whispered from Arwen's shoulder, "Some of them look ugly and weird."

Arwen chuckled softly, while Alex's eyes twinkled with amusement.

The delegation led them to a spacious hall with a high ceiling and translucent walls that allowed natural light to filter through. Holographic displays of star maps, treaties, and alien civilizations floated above the central table.

As they sat, the lead admiral began a formal presentation.

"Your Excellency Alex, Lady Arwen, the Planetary Union is an alliance of diverse species bound by mutual interests of peace, exploration, and cooperation. Here, representatives of various civilizations gather to debate policy, sign treaties, and coordinate efforts for defense and advancement."

Alex listened intently, absorbing the sophistication of their structure. He noted the fragility underlying the alliance, a reliance on different civilizations for critical needs.

One admiral, a stern-looking woman alien with dark eyes, elaborated, "The Krill threat has united us further. Each civilization contributes their expertise in different fields, like the Moclans for certain advanced armaments. Meanwhile, the Xelayans contribute a significant portion of our research personnel, and other races supply key resources. It creates… a network of interdependent ties within the union."

Arwen leaned closer to Alex and whispered, "Their strengths are intertwined, but so are their weaknesses."

He nodded subtly, understanding her observation.

To the delegation, he remarked diplomatically, "It's a remarkable achievement to bring so many species together, despite the challenges."

The Xelayan representative smiled. "Exactly. We strive to keep that unity intact, though sometimes it's as delicate as a glass thread."

As they continued the discussion, Alex discreetly accessed their databases, scanning the planet's defense grids, research centers, and orbital stations.

Information flowed seamlessly: blueprints, schematics, energy outputs, and tactical designs. All of it stored for future use in the world he planned to build for the elves.

As the formalities concluded, the delegation escorted them outside. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the city's skyline.

The lead admiral turned to Alex. "We hope this visit gives you insight into our ways, Your Excellency. If there's anything you or Lady Arwen need, please don't hesitate to ask."

Alex inclined his head. "Your hospitality is greatly appreciated. We've learned much today."

Arwen smiled, her eyes reflecting the colors of the sunset. "Thank you for sharing your world with us."

As they walked back to the shuttle, Arwen's excitement bubbled over. "Imagine what we could create with the elves, our own world, with knowledge from so many others."

He took her hand, his expression with delight. "We'll see, in the future."

Lily flitted ahead, twirling mid-air. "I can't wait to see it!"

With a final glance at Union Central, they boarded the shuttle. The ramp retracted smoothly, and the vessel rose into the twilight sky. In the upper orbit, Alex extended his perception to encompass the entire universe. With a smile, Alex accelerated the shuttle.

A golden light enveloped it as it disappeared.

At the orbital station, an admiral asked an officer for the shuttle's status.

"It vanished, Admiral. Scans show no trace of quantum disturbance," the officer reported.

"You mean the shuttle did not travel through quantum?"

"Yes! It just vanished as it accelerated. Visual showed unknown energy enveloping the vessel before it disappeared."

The admiral hurried to his office to call for a virtual session.

Meanwhile, Alex's shuttle traveled billions of lightyears from the Milky Way. Using a principle similar to magical apparition, he folded space, reappearing within his perception range. He called this "Space Jump," a method he planned to use for the ships he created.

"Wow, so beautiful… where are we now?" Arwen asked, staring at the dense nebula visible from the cockpit.

"We are about 450 billion lightyears from Earth," Alex replied as he guided the shuttle to a planet.

"This planet is five times bigger than Earth and quite habitable. There are no large interstellar civilizations within five million lightyears."

Descending through the atmosphere, Arwen and Lily stared in amazement at the vibrant landscapes below.

"It's very beautiful, like a painting," Arwen murmured.

"Look! Lots of animals, very cute ones," Lily shouted excitedly.

Alex flew the shuttle around the planet, taking in the breathtaking view. Streams sparkled like liquid crystal, and the seas stretched out in mesmerizing shades of sapphire and turquoise.

Vast grasslands rolled out like emerald carpets, while tall forests painted the landscape in a vivid variety of colors, trees bore leaves of deep purples, fiery reds, shimmering golds, greens, and silvery blues.

Flowering plants are diverse with unimaginable species and colors. Towering mountains with snow-dusted peaks pierced the sky, while high waterfalls cascaded in iridescent arcs, feeding great rivers that wound like glowing ribbons into serene, mirror-like lakes reflecting the hues of the sky.

The planet's fauna was a wondrous display of diversity and whimsy. Deer-like creatures with slender, graceful forms glided through the air on translucent, moth-like wings, their antlers resembling delicate, crystal ornament.

Wolf and foxlike creatures trotted across the grassy plains, their fur sleek and multi-hued, and their tails tufted with glowing tips that left faint trails of light in the air.

Snakes here were not menacing; instead, they slithered with elegance, their bodies adorned with downy, feathery fluff in pastel shades of lavender, mint, and peach. Rodents were stubby and round, covered in thick, plush fur, with oversized eyes that gleamed with curiosity and intelligence.

Horses with majestic antlers and shimmering, scale-like skin roamed the meadows, their scales reflecting a myriad of colors depending on the light.

Lizards scuttled by with jewel-like pearls embedded along their spines, each pearl reflecting vibrant hues of amber, teal, and ruby. Birds soared and sang with melodies that harmonized with the breeze, their feathers iridescent and patterned in intricate, fractal-like designs.

Among the more peculiar creatures were small, rabbit-like beings with four ears that twitched independently, each ear tufted with fluffy plumes.

There were also floating jellyfish-like entities that glowed with bioluminescent patterns, drifting lazily through the air, their tendrils shimmering like delicate strands of silk.

In the waters, vibrant fish with butterfly-like fins darted through coral reefs of unimaginable beauty, their scales reflecting every color imaginable.

Chubby, seal-like creatures with shimmering, star-patterned hides lounged on the shores, their gentle eyes exuding peace. Even the apex predators of this world were adorable: lion-like beasts with oversized paws, round faces, and plush fur that made them look more like oversized plush toys than fearsome hunters.

In the skies, dragonfly-like creatures the size of hawks flitted gracefully, their wings refracting sunlight into rainbows. Floating puffball creatures, resembling cotton with tiny eyes and stubby limbs, bobbed along on air currents, emitting soft, chiming sounds.

The entire ecosystem is full of life, wonder, and a sense of untouched purity. It was a paradise where even the fiercest-looking creatures exuded charm rather than danger.

This alien world was a perfect synthesis of beauty and cuteness, a haven where the elves could thrive, surrounded by the sheer splendor of untouched nature.
