Thither

Thither is an adverb that means 'to or toward that place.' It indicates movement or direction to a location that is distant or previously mentioned.

While largely outdated in modern casual speech, thither remains in use in specific registers or genres. thither directs the focus to a place which is not 'here' but 'there'.
