Another Path

"You're leaving the continent? Why?" Alex asked. This was a bit too sudden from Alex's perspective.

"I… am going home," Shen Jing said.

"Home?" Alex asked curiously.

"Yes," Shen Jing said.

"I thought you said this place was your home," Alex said. 

"It is, but if you remember, I told you I wasn't born here," Shen Jing said. "I'm going back to where I was born."

"Where is this home?" Alex asked.

Shen Jing put on a nostalgic smile as he remembered his family who must be missing him a lot.

"It's a place called the Land of the Blessed Sun. It's a tacky name, I know, but it fits the place," Shen Jing said. 

"I kinda like the name," Alex said. After all, the place had the word 'sun' in it. "Can I visit there someday?" 

"Of course," Shen Jing said. "Someday, I assume you will be invited even after I tell them about you."

"About me? Why would you tell them about me?" Alex asked worriedly.
