No chance to decide - a rival ninja

Suddenly, a shiruken strikes past you, burying itself in a tree trunk. You spin around, drawing your sword, as a figure drops gracefully from the branches above. She is slender and athletic, dressed from head to toe in black. Worse, she bears the mark of the Red Shadow ninja clan, vicious rivals of your own. You wonder what one is doing here.

With a war cry, you lunge forward, but she parries with startling speed. You realize you're very outmatched. If you keep fighting, she could kill you. On the other hand, while surrendering would be honorable since you're so outmatched, it would be dangerous. The Red Shadow clan have a long tradition of **** defeated foes, enslaving them or, if the rumors are true, using them in perverse sexual rites to gain the favor of demons.

Her sword clashes against yours again, and you realize you don't have long to choose.
