Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings turned around to see three people standing where they had been just moments before.
All three were dressed like ninjas, masked and in tight clothes, with the leader holding a sword and the other two with dual swords strapped to their backs and shuriken darts in hand.
Sean Knight looked around and realized there weren't just these three people; there were seven or eight others scattered around, either in the treetops or lying in the bushes, subtly surrounding him and Elijah.
He hadn't noticed them when he came!
In such a short time, these people had set up their positions, clearly a premeditated design!
"Surrender now!" the leader said again, "Otherwise, you will die without a complete corpse!"
"Are you ninjas?" Sean Knight casually leaned closer to Elijah, which the opposing leader took as a sign of fear. He snorted coldly and said:
"Good that you know! You won't escape our encirclement!"
