The Visit — II

Josef returned to his homeland, holding baby JC in his arms with a smile on his face and the last words Merry ever said to him echoing in his ears: “Please take good care of our baby.”

Josef died a few years later in a tragic accident when JC was a teenager, but not before telling JC about his true nature of being born half alien, and half human…and of his mother; how she had returned to her home amongst the stars. Josef told JC to keep this information a secret, because if the humans were to find out about his hybrid origins, he would surely be crucified.

JC spent his teen years much like any other human would; trying to find a sense of belonging while coming to grips with who he was as a person.

Every night he would wander off somewhere to be himself, alone…always searching the stars above him in a sky so dark and limitless wishing that someday he would meet his mother.

Several years passed, and young JC became a full grown man with an extremely high intelligence quotient that was far more superior to that of his fellow human beings. He made a lot of friends and loyal followers. He always shared his knowledge with the people of his homeland.

Gifted with the knowledge of the land he taught them how to plant crops, how to fish, and how to cook with the fruits of such labors.

He excelled in engineering and construction and so taught his people how to build strong houses, bridges, and walls to fortify their flourishing city. He was proficient in academics as well, teaching the children how to read and write during his spare time. He was extremely thankful every night for the great and wonderful experiences he had living on this earth.
