Rift Arc

Formally known as [ Foreigners From The Rift ], the Rift Arc was the first major arc to take place in Ember Moon. It followed the conflicts of the three foreigners, (Sapphira, Benvolio, and Arianne) and their plots for revenge as well as the Mystery Gang's attempts to stop them. 
== Context ==
=== Premise ===
A mysterious, portal-like rift has opened in the depths of Alamere forest. Three sets of footprints lead away from the rift, and it's up to the students to figure out who or what came out of that rift. The rift can't be sealed until the three foreigners have returned, but one thing's for sure: they aren't going down without a fight.
=== Riddles ===
 You might think that all is well
 But evil festers in its tomb
 Emerging from worlds parallel
 Come three rivals to bring forth doom
 
 The first seeks vengeance for their father
 Descendant of a one-eyed foe
 The second one seems not to bother
 But soon their desperation will grow
 
 The last searches for what could be a cure
 But their lies and deceit come nowhere near
 Three false foreigners the students must endure
 Will they come soon or are they already here...?
‎ 
 In order to close the strange rift, 
 The source of its creation must be found. 
 The students must be secret and swift 
 If the foreigners are to be bound.

== Trivia ==
* The Rift Arc spanned over the course of nine months despite being intended to last only one.
*During the planning of the foreigners, several ideas were created but never implemented. Among those being:
**The possibility that, in the foreigners' AU, Luke Heartstruck went on to become a headmaster of his own academy called Coeur Academy, effectively making the common factor between all three foreigners that they were all children of headmasters. This idea was later forgotten about and never used.
**Benvolio's placeholder name during the early stages of planning was Cody. It was then changed to Asher, then to Benvolio as Angel fleshed out his Italian background. 
**Similarly, Arianne's original name was Freya, but deciding that would arouse too much suspicion, Hoshi changed it to Alice, then Arianne.
**(Sapphira's name was always going to be Sapphira.)
