3. Description
Two years of struggle has passed since his battle with the Ninja Emperor, yet even with countless days of training Kreal has not been able to reach anything near his past level of power. Now, he and his old adversary, Zou, turned temporary trainer, must face off with an ancient ninja of incredible power. Is this the end of Kreal? Find out inside.

4. Sample Content
Zou struck a pose. Did he really expect that to be impressive? Zou was probably the most arrogant and outright annoying man that Kreal had ever met. Still, he had skills, skills that Kreal was desperately in need of learning.
The jagged two blade spun around Zou's head. This was a recent invention of a rather notable ninja Jet Les. Its wickedly sharp edge combined with that jagged blade could tear a human in two making it a formidable weapon.
He ducked under the two blade and flipped backwards. Zou took the obvious counter attack as he bounced off the ground to enter a full 360 spin.
Kreal kicked out with his rubber soled boot and pushed the blade upwards as it came down to slice his throat. The attack sent Zou away from him, but Zou managed to control it well and came around in an uncontrolled spin with one foot extended to nearly whip Kreal's head right off his body.
"You are still over thinking it. Do you really wish to regain your strength?"
He'd been saying that all morning with that tone of superiority of his. Kreal almost felt like...
He shrugged. Like what? He knew full well that Zou could annihilate him if he wished.
He set his pose and drew a few stars. They patterned the air with clinks as Zou easily deflected them.
"How many years has it been?"
Two years: Two very long years of weakness and hard work as he forced himself to grow from a weakling ninja after expending his powers to defeat the Ninja Emperor.
"How long will you make me wait?"
Six jabs to the face in quick succession, the hand that hit him moving so fast it was a blur, sent him rolling backwards.
He had promised Zou a true fight if he helped him gain his powers back after the new glyphs had been completed a few months before. If he had known how much that would cost him in blood loss and agony he might have reconsidered.
A big right hand came around and popped him in nose. He could feel blood flowing down over his lips as the insides churned a little.
His attempts to right himself were futile; the blade was already pressed to his neck.
"I should kill you right now...
