The Oracle of Ophir!
As the Crimson Company delivers princess Yvonna to the rulers of Ronnoco, mercenary Yusef arrives with the news about the shadow creature. Conan is tasked to ask an oracle a days ride away; Yusef and Tara ride with him. Conan has to defeat a guardian, whose sword he takes. He receives a cryptic prophecy. On his way out he seems trapped by a curse which forces him to replace the slain guardian - but breaking free he produces a pitiless duplicate of himself which he can nonly defeat by giving the looted sword back to the old guardian who reanimates to some sort of undead life.
