Is a quiet day, the song of the birds and a weak cold breeze can be heared in the village. A clear sky makes possible to see how the sun is hidding on the mountains at the distance giving his heaven to the moon, that's all, no more than a very peaceful day at the Hidden Forest.

Yun has just finished his daily sparring training as like always, undefeated. Even after several hours of hardest training. He still had enought energy to keep fighting. His lattests easy fights (at least for him) makes him slighty sad. Not even a such beatiful sunset could animate him.
He whispered to himself:
"When... i will find a decent rival for me? And where?"
But before his mind fills itself of melancoly, he heared a girl of young aspect with pale skin, a beatiful brown hair, she wears a light but very refined armor of both black chainmail and platemail.
"Wait...Who are you?"
"Don't worry young Shinobi, i know who you are and it is enought for me, i need you hrlp, so... You are wanting for a challenge?"

"How did you know me? What you want exactly?"
"My name is Naomi Kimuyi and i'm a rogue from the west mountains also knowns as the Ghost Mountains, now hurry up, there is not time to explain, i need you, come with me... Now!"

Yun was confused, everything happened too fast, what he should to do?... Whatever, after all he really wanted a serious fight since a long time, this was his opportunity, and after all, if that was a trap, as a ninja he is a master of evasion and hidding.

Both youngs travelled for a couple of hours through the hidden attempting to reach the mountains before midnight. suddenly they stopped in front of a cliff pass at the sight his path lost as like the bridge.
The girl said "Damn, i didn't expected this"
Maybe something dangerous is near of them...

They have cutted our pass, follow me i know another path...
"Wait! The shinobi shouted, i will not continue until you tell me what is happening and where are we going to."
She sighed and seated on the ground, after a few seconds she started to explain...

The girl with a serious tone said:
"That thing, what destroyed this place is a very powerful Necromancer, he is wanting to raise an army of undeads and steal the souls of the most powerful warriors."
Yun was focused trying to understand what his partner wad talking about
"So, we are here to kill it?"
"Yes, but not just that, you are in danger, she wants to absorb your soul and power."
"And you are trying to protect me?"
"Yes. And that's all, now we need to go quickly."

Both adventurers resumed his travel for another hour at the light of a full moon without surprises or whitnesses with the exception of a wolf that enjoyed devouring a little animal which remaining rests were unrrecognizable and disgusting at the same time. Finally they reached a crypt with a broken rock entrance, the 2 youngs entered in the huge hole in hunt of that necromancer, they went downstairs by an old stone stair with the help of a sinister light of low-bright torches. At the end of the stair a lot of splitted corpses and an altar in the middle of the poorly illuminated room with another corpse wearing a heavy black armor and a steel greatsword. But there was not any necromancer, finally he could understand the situation, but it was just what he feared.

Yun said nothing else than:
"This seems to be the right place, but i can't see any necromancer"

She started to laugh with a notorious but scaring insanity, her face and whole body changed drastically, now his eyes glow purple and she seems lost into an uncontrollable rage, his thick mouth showed a big grin, her beautiful brown hair turned into a long black hair, and her skin become almost white. she adopted a weak-looking posture, but Yun was still able to feel an inmense power coursing throught her body.

Yun has suspected this since she told him about a Necromancer, his partner was the Necromancer itself!!! Or well, the Necromancess. Yun grabed his katana and attempted to attack her but the Necromancess interrupted him.
"Now i will tell you, my true name is Sabrina, i'm the Necromancess who destroyed the west villages near to the Ghost Mountains gathering blood and souls to feed my undead, i also need your blood to resurrect the Great Sir Magnus and use it to serve on her army as a general."
She started to laugh even more insane than before and rised his punch making that all the torchs that created just a pity light now produce a demonic and massive purple fire turning the place into a terrifying place while all the unanimated corpses come back to the life as undead warriors.
"Resistance is futile, prepare for your doom."
Then Yun couldn't wait even a single more second and he charged at Sabrina with his katana and at the same time that she grabed 2 long unholy black knives both surrounded of a purple glow of the evil aura of its wielder.
Yun clashed his sword against the Sabrina's knives and both started launching cuts that his respective enemy parried and realiced a counter, this lasted just a few seconds because the undeads now were charging at Yun! He realized that he can't defeat the necromancess like this, with a big jump he hided on the few dark places that remained at the torchs.

His unique hope was killing the undeads first, and do is what he did.
slashing and hiding several times to the slow undead avoiding Sabrina and hunting those lone undeads that could be easily ambushed.
Sabrina was slowly becoming angry with Yun's strategy and started to throw purple fire of pure hatre to every shadow place that she could see destroying everything that it touched, and one of the fireballs blasted Yun, making him to fall to the floor and she approached in order to kill Yun but he couldn't block the atack and her slashed his chest making him to bleed grievously.
"Don't waste your last seconds trying to survive, your body is now cursed and i'm leeching your power. And when i kill you i will use your soul to revive Sir Magnus".
But Yun has a secret trick, his health potion, he drunk it all and he fell on a mental coma for a few seconds.

He appeared into the void, there was nothing but silence, his mind and his body were not together anymore but he still could hear his own voice. He said to himseld
"How is this possible? Did i lost? I died? Could i have been murdered by an strange by reason that i don't know?"
A couple of seconds passed and he said:
"I need to come back". Then he shouted:
"I CAN'T DIE".
He feelt exhausted, his blood was boiling, His limbs felt heavy, and his fingers were trembling but his spirit growled by his life will and his body started to recover his strenght. Suddenly, he was back to the world.

Yun oppened his eyes very slowly, he started to recover the feelings of his body and woke up grabing his sword again and looking at Sabrina.
The girl looked surprised, and his voice was angry but slowly his mouth couldn't avoid becoming a broked voice saying scared words "This is impossible, how could you came back?"
Yun responded with a calm but serious voice: "Because... I never lose."
With a last effort with his uncompletely recovered from the wounds he dropped his sword and grabed his own 2 knives and charged directly to the Necromancess, she waited him with a defensive position.

This was the final clash of both enemies, the ninja used his last technique, creating 2 shadow decoys both running in opposite directions around the girl confusing her, the young shinobi jumped cornering all possible dodge of Sabrina, cornered, unable to defend herself from the 3 incoming attacks. Her last words... Sorry.

Yun skewered her with both knives on her stomach. she moaned and dropped a single tear and fell to the floor, a few seconds later she started to bleed leaving his blood in the floor.
Yun exhausted dispelled his shadows and dropped his body on the floor, he was going to rest during the night.

He tried to rest but without minding on his fatigue, he couldn't even close his eyes. He started to think.
"Now that i think it, she never lied to me in nothing" after that he focused his sight in the grievously bleeded girl who was giving his lasts efforts to survive.

"I can't leave her suffering like this, even after that she tried to kill me, i can't leave my unique rival to die".

He grabed his katana and attempted to pierce his body with it and finish her pain... But he dropped his sword.

He said to himself trying to self convince him of his desicion
"She is an assassin and a serious threat... But i can't kill that person that gave me my best battle."

But she was very hurt, and nobody was going to heal a necromancess, but Yun had an idea, he grabbed her body and now he gave her the remaining content of his potion.
He was a little worried because the potion only remains 1/4 of his full content, he didn't knew if that was going to cure her, or if she was going to die, but his body couldn't stand more and he fell asleep by his fatigue.

Hours passed and the song of the birds at the glowing sun woke him up. He tried to understand better what happened last night but he remembered that girl and he shouted desesperately "Sabrina!!!" A sweet voice welcomed him, at Yun's back, Sabrina was waiting him giving him his back too. She asked him.
"Why did you saved me?"
Yun was surprised and relaxed at the same time, but he just said "I don't know".
Then, Sabrina surprised Yun even more when she showed him... Her beatiful Smile.
