Later on the night, of the village known by the name of Bran, a small village from the Kingdom of Romania where people are living by doing their things they are talented at, on a roof of the watch tower of the square of this village, a woman, wearing red hood, she is looking at a house with green roof. The woman is holding her scythe very tight on her right hand. She is angry and demand revenge for the man who just died earlier in the middle of this village. And for the other one who also died again by the hands of these fighters.
Monica is jumping from that roof, she lands on another roof on a house, then she jumps from that place to the street. When she landed on the paved road with stones, she walks to the direction where the house with the green roof it is located. While she is walking and took the first turn, she observes a drunk citizen coming at her.
"Heey, woman." says the drunk villager to Monica, and he doesn't observe her wielding a big scythe which is enough to cut that man in half or decapitating him. "You are looking fine. Mind." he hic one time, then he continues his sentence. "Mind if you want a nice night with me."
"Sorry, but I am not a prostitute." says Monica walking further.
"Why don't you, woman?" says the same man trying again to persuade Monica to sleep with him. "I-I will give ya' ten gold coins."
"Leave me alone."
"Or what?" laughs the man who is grabbing the woman shoulder. "Now bend down and let me bury my wood into your hole." he laughs.
"I warned you." says Monica taking a grip from her scythe, she turns around and decapitates the man in a fast speed.
That drunk man head fly off from the body and lands on the road, where the rest of his body, slowly collapse of the road. Monica is taking the scythe back, she uses the man body to clean the blood on it, and as soon as she finishes watching the disgusting blood of that drunk villager, she continues to walk to the house she spotted, leaving the body of that villager there, not even looking back at the sin she committed.

On the outside of this house, Ulfred is sitting on a bench, made by him two days earlier, and he looks at the sky, on the stars of this sky. He is then looking on the street, there he sees a cat walking on the fence of the house he and with his teammates are living until everything will be alright and be able to come back to the Kingdom.
Ulfred is then taking the sword he let down, he is looking at it. While he was looking at the sword he remembers the time when he got this powerful sword. It all happen when he was a teenage boy, on the Bulgarian Kingdom, at the time he manages to finish the training for becoming the soldier he is today. The instructor gave him this sword since he was the only one who could master a magic sword who was always breakable. Ulfred took a lot of hours to train on this sword, and he manages to learn every single movement of this weapon.
A few seconds later, while Ulfred was looking back at the time he wields this weapon for the first time, he gets up from the bench, with the sword in his right hand. He then does a swing on the air, then he rotates about 360 degrees, and then he uses the sword to perform a slash move. Ulfred is holding the sword with both hands, and he does basics sword swinging on the air.
"One. Two. Three. Four." he says while he is doing those swinging. "Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten!" he then raises the sword, and he uses as a blockage to block a spherical object which was coming into his direction.
He takes a small glimpse at the object which is on the ground. Then he looks at the direction where that object went, and he prepares for a defense position by using his big sword as a shield.
"Show yourself." says Ulfred to the direction where the spherical object was thrown into his direction.
Four footstep can be heard out of the darkness of this village, much likely, a corner of the village which was dark enough to hide the attacker, Monica, the Red Hood Assassin. She is looking at Ulfred, who is holding his sword and defend himself. She is grinning for a bit when she was that broken sword. Monica pulls out the scythe, and then she looks at Ulfred with a smile on her face, she proceeds to mock him.
"Big boy is not able to afford a sword?"
"At least I am not using a gardening tool." says Ulfred back to Monica, and this made her a little upset.
"Asshole." says Monica who is having no idea what to say back to that burn.
Monica and Ulfred are standing there, looking at each other, waiting for someone to start their movement. The fights can be seen thanks to the lamps of this village, if they weren't there, this fight wouldn't be seen, and it will be harder for both of them to fight each other.
Anyway, Monica is starting the first move, she is charging to Ulfred, which Ulfred, expecting this he sues his sword do to a successful blockage of Monica attack. When Ulfred caught the scythe, he takes back the sword, and tries to do a swing to Monica, but she manages to leap back, avoiding the sharp part of that sword. Ulfred sees Monica charging again to him, and he decided to avoid that charging, and he did a dumb move because when that happened, Monica turned to the direction of Ulfred, and she managed to stab Ulfred leg with her scythe. She laughs at him, and before she was about to twist the scythe, Ulfred takes out a smoke bomb he had on his pocket (it is a "gadget" which helps him to escape from situations like these) and threw it on the ground.
When the bomb blown and created a zone of smoke, he freed himself from that scythe while Monica was coughing and trying to see what is going on there. She is moving the scythe is fast speed, which is making the smoke all around her disappear, and when she did that, she observes that Ulfred is not here anymore. Monica proceed to look all around her, but she is not able to see Ulfred where is it.
While she is walking all around this area for Ulfred, she doesn't know that Ulfred it is on the roof of the house, hiding on the corner who draw enough darkness to hide him from the eyes of Monica. Ulfred touches with his hand the injury he got, and he tries to hold back his screaming because that injury is painful which means it looks pretty bad. At this moment, Ulfred doesn't have anything, except for a potion to cure him, but the potion it is on the ground, and with Monica who is walking around, wielding her scythe all around it will be hard to find it and use it to continue at fighting. Ulfred is thinking about the next strategy, and in a few seconds he got an idea to help him defeat Monica.
