Chapter 89 : How Much Longer?

“Remember, we want to get through the capital unseen,” Jared whispered, his arm around me, as we deboarded the same trading vessel that had brought us to the Light Realm in the first place.

“You don’t need to remind me of that. It’s not like we have to stay long. We’re just passing through to get back to your village,” I said.

Jared nodded. “Right. No coffee dates to spy on our distant relatives this time.”

I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

It had taken us nearly a week to get back to the capital of Erogen and we still had a few more days to go before getting back to Jared’s village.

I was happy to be back. But it sure would have been nice to have a plane to get on to fly to his village rather than having to go by foot.

Fortunately, we got out of the capitol without any incident. It was a nice change to have everything go smoothly for once.

When we got back to Jared’s village, a strong sense of peace and belonging came over me.

Was this what it was like to come home?
