Zephen turned to nimuae. “Bounty hunter, huh? I used to be an assasain,” she said.

"Hello, would anyone like anything else?"

“Yes. I’ll take another silver ale.” Zephen said, the pain to hard to bear. She needed to tell someone, now.

"of course." he went to get it and came back and handed it to him."there you are."

“Thanks,” She said, taking a long sip. Her eyes were dry, but inside, she was weeping. Her face said it all.

"are you ok?"

“No, not really,” Zephen said, not bothering to lie.

"what's up, or do you need something stronger?"

Nellie rushes over to Zephen. "You're in pain. What's wrong?" She asks sternly.

“It’s just emotional, don’t worry. It’s just……memories. The forest gaurdian reminded me of my past. My old mentor. He was killed. He trained me to use my powers, but when the kings advisor discovered my abilities, he killed my mentor and took me away. I became an assassain, enslaved to the royal throne. I added a bead to me bracelet for every life I took. And the last bead, that’s for the king,” Zephen said, disgust creeping into her voice at the last part.

Nellie gasped quietly. She took out a flower from her bag and put it in Zephen's drink. Then she smiled.

Zephen couldn’t believe she just told that to a room of strangers. But, somehow, they didn’t feel like strangers at all. She smiled back at Nellie

"Wow rough life." he said quietly to her

“Don’t pity me, I’m not a maytr. It can’t be as bad as some of yours,” Zephen said.

"eh, don't know it has to probably at the top 5 that i have heard hear. apparently being a bartender qualifies you as a therapist also sometimes."

"Yes, it can." Nellie responded, thinking of her own life.
