“You!” Iola was aghast.

“Who?” Dacia peered at the solitary City Watch guardsman outside the tavern door.

“Nesmir?” Iola gasped.

“Yes.” The tall, able bodied young man in full regalia of a City Watch guardsman nodded at Iola.

“Why are you here?” Dacia cut in. “How did you find us... and what do you want with her?”

“I don’t know.” Nesmir replied but his gaze remained focused on Iola.

“Are you here on orders to arrest her?” Dacia pressed, her hand firmly gripping the hilt of her dagger.

“Arrest?” The guard looked perplexed. “No... I was just drawn here... I don’t know how.”

“What do you mean by that?” The mercenary almost drew her blade from its leather sheath. “How did you know we were in this tavern?”

“I sensed... that you are here.” Nesmir didn’t take his eyes off Iola.

“What do you mean by sensed?” Iola almost whispered.

“I don’t understand how, but I feel that I know you, Iola Starlight... I know who you are and that I want to be near you.”

“You’re not right in the head, fellow.” Dacia’s teeth ground hard and she curled her right hand into a fist, her left hand still enclosed her dagger hilt.

“No, this isn’t possible...” Iola’s eyes remained as wide as they were ever since she saw it was Nesmir at the door of the inn.

“What is not possible?” Dacia’s glare intensified at the young soldier.
