"It is dark and dangerous out here. You would leave me to fend for myself?" she asked, as politely as she could.
"Sorry. Orders are orders and no strangers are to pass through here," came the negative reply.
A small murmur of sympathy went around some of the guards. They would not be swayed but it was evident that they did feel some compassion for anyone stuck alone outside on a night like this.
The girl moved silently away into the night. She was sure that she could have used her powers to gain access through the gates, but she would rather her access to the city was through traditional means, to avoid arousing suspicion. Besides which there were twenty seven gates in total, not all of which may deny admission. She wondered however, if the guards had any idea how easy it would have been for her to gain access. Once she had controlled the mind of the leader, she could have done whatever she wanted. It was very tedious trying to be good, when you know that within your powers you have the ability to control others.
