Iola opened her eyes and gasped.
She was looking at herself or at least at the shrubbery where she was hiding. She was inside his head, looking at what he was seeing.
Instinct told her that if she focused even harder, she could possible control him, or at least nudge him along to an extent.
“Look to the left.” She murmured softly.
Her heart skipped a beat. Images of the roadway appeared in her mind as the guardsman turned his head to the left.
Then as he looked down at his hands, she could see his large, calloused palms facing upward.

The young man turned to face the surly looking
guardsman who called out to him. A chill ran down Iola’s spine and she almost
lost her hold on him.
