"Hear me, my peace-drunk brethren! You are being led astray by your weak and frail leader Queenchief Nuria. She colludes with the ponies to declaw you, to dull your fangs! Long ago the Kirin struck fear into any country touching the sea! We were rulers of bloodied coin and had respect! but now, now the ponies, the weak cowardly ponies try to take away your culture! They deny us our heritage! Join me! join me and I'll show you the true path to power! Through blood! Carnage and gold! I defeated your 'queen' in single battle... She has failed you and grown soft with her 'peace.' a lapdog for her Equestrian masters! It is time for the Kirin to return to the forefront, through fire and blood!"- The Warlord Ashwrath gave this recuitment speech in the kirin city of Aeros with a retinue of strange uniform looking kirin. Many are worried of the violence to come and are already petitioning Equestria to intervene.

Welcome to Multa Saecula. A set of worlds aside from just Equestria itself. Many generations ago, the plane that housed Equestria; Terra, created magical portals to other dimensions. These dimensions are Lux, a land rich with magic, yet constantly under threat from the same. And Tenebris, a dark plane where only the strong and willful survive.
These realms have existed together peacefully so far, commencing in trading, the sharing of culture, and immigration. Though their political views are much different than that of Terra, they find a way to coexist, sometimes reluctantly. Walk into this set of worlds and discover what adventure, romance, or tragedy, awaits you.

Deep in the crags, where the most dangerous creatures roamed. A thestral walked with a surprisingly light step, searching for the beast she had tracked. She peered out from under the headwrap she wore and looked into the darkess. "Where did you go...?" She says more to herself.
She steps around a stone and looks around, humming to herself, just as the ground rumbles beneth her. She scratches her head. "More clever than the rest..." She says before looking sharply to the side, sensing another presence close by. It was then that the eye opened, as large as she was and rolling down to focus right on the thestral herself.
"... Huh... There you are..." She says, a grin growing on her face. "Thought I had lost you for a moment there. How funny would that be? Me! Losing track of her pray. That's what they call irony, isn't it?"
There's a rumbling again and the large figure moves, opening the way to a much larger part of the crags, an open space where the huge creature could fit, clung to the side of the rockface. It let out a deafening roar right at her before going silent again, letting its voice echo throigh the caverns. "Happy to see you too." She quips as she draws her ornate spear. "Now then, let me kill you."

The day came. The day in which Nemesis descended to the Crags to hunt a beast. Of course, this was all but impossible for the Noctals and Thestrals. They were just lucky these things preferred to be underground, where it was mostly dry. She left Rollo on the surface, he really didn't want to descend into his plane's underworld.
Nemesis had been following a beast, it seemed to be fleeing from... Something. Not her, which was annoying in its own right. The beast led her to an open cavern, where it seemed transfixed on another presence. Another beast?
Nemesis stepped around in cautiously, coming into view, greatsword held at an angle to the ground. Her draconic eyes looked at the Thestral and dilated. Nemesis was waiting for the first move.

This thestral would surely stick out like a sore thumb. Firstly, her clothing, and the fact she had any, was far too clean and nice looking. And her spear was far vetter made than any piece of Thestral weaponry normally seen. She waved the spear back and gave it a spin, before dashing for the beast and leaping towards it.
She drives her spear into its underside, the collision breaking through the tough flesh an sending a rippling shockwave through its skin. It lost its grip of the rockface and collapsed, falling down until it crashed to the ground far below, with the thestral still attached to it.
Once they hit the ground, the thestral would jump off, landing away from the beast as it clamored to its clawed feet.

With a crash the beast would fall onto its stomach again, as the armored pegasus smashed into the top of its form, the greatsword piercing its hide, a black mist swirling around the blade. She pulled the blade free as the beast got up, bending its head back to try and snap at Nemesis.
Unfortunately for it, Nemesis was already in the air, and with a flap of her wings, she finished the flip she had been maneuvering to do and her sword smacked into the beasts head, and it slammed back into the ground. She landed parallel to Kaclea in a low crouching stance, the greatsword held over her shoulder.

Kacela smirks at the sight of the beast being assaulted from behind. This stranger was strong, and would be a help. She said nothing, just rushed the beast again and swung the butt of her spear upwards as it lifted its head, sending it jerking upwards before she adjusted herself for a sidelong swipe, slicing a large cut in its neck and backing away to avoid the blood that sprayed from the wound.
But it still wasn't dead yet, writhing in pain for a moment before trying to scurry away, thrashing its tail towards Kacela and Artoria. Kacela jumped over it for an easy dodge and then turned towards the pegasus. "Finish it!"

Artoria crouched and shot up into the air, disappearing from sight. The creature had a few seconds to escape. And perhaps to Kaclea, it looked as though the pegasus ran. But rather soon a sound rather violently ripped through the air.
BOOM
The air burst and Artoria came crashing down at mach 1, her sword cutt straight through the creature from above, followed by a storm of small rubble and dust as her speed vacuumed loose pieces of rock and dirt down with her. She ripped her sword out and hopped off the carcass, hovering to the ground with nary a pant of exhaustion.

Kacela watched as Artoria lept into the air, squinting as she looked to try and keep track of her. Curse these mortal eyes! But then the sound barrier broke, and the pony came rushing down and landed on the beast hard, sending rubble her way. She stood still as it happene, using her spear to diflect a single rock that came careening towards her face.
And then it was all over, the beast was dead, and this offworlder stood before her, without a scratch and without any signs of weariness. Amazing. No normal mortal could accomplish such a thing. And she sensed a power about this one. Something unique and strong. "Good job." She says with a grin. "What's your name, stranger?"

Nemesis' eyes darted to Kaclea followed by her body. Her heavy armor clinking as she did so. She nodded to the... Thestral? Nemesis could feel the power this thestral exuded. They were probably several times stronger than Nemesis, or at least she estimated.
"Good job yourself. Most natives I've come across are deathly afraid to even come down here." she said letting out a breath. "I'm called Nemesis. As a name, it'll do."

"I am not most thestrals." Kacela states, leaning casually on her spear. She concentrates more on the source of Nemesis' power, narrowing it down to the sword, strangely large to her, but she didn't judge. "And whose nemesis are you?" She asks, before quickly waving it off with a "Nevermind it doesn't matter. You're pretty strong, but I see your strength is borrowed. Or, perhaps... Stolen?"
She looks over the armor, giving a chuckle to herself at its appearance. "Offworlders are so strange..."

Nemesis flipped the sword over her back, setting it into a sort of hook sheath. "Neither." she answered stepping a little closer to be within a more normal talking distance.
"The sword has kept me alive for... Two thousand years and heals almost any wound. My physical strength, speed and stamina are all because of training." She explained offering a shrug. "I didn't choose the name."

Kacela nods and observes the sword a little closer before its sheathed. She gives a pout and hums. "Two thousand years? You're well past your due date, aren't you? That's bad luck you know." She says so mayter of factly, as if it were something obvious.
"So if it heals any wound, then why do you dress yourself up like a stone? The sword is doing all the work, isn't it? Surely it doesn't matter if you're struck."

Nemesis looked at Kaclea unamused, her eyebrows arching in annoyance. "I'm a knight, not a savage." She said rolling her eyes. "Even if it could, its still ridiculous. The brute force approach works sometimes, but most of the time You need to end a fight quickly and decisively, taking time to heal is just a waste." she explained shaking her head.
"I don't need to explain myself to some Thestral." she said huffing a bit, looking at the ground. "I hate the sword. I'm cursed."

"I am not some thestral." Kacela states, her grin fading to a more stern look. "I am Kacelaof The Hunt. Destroyer of Beasts and Monsters. Defender of the living. Bane of the dead." She pushes off of her spear and stands proudly, head held high and shoulders back. "I am the line in the sand, for no beast or foul creature passes me. I am the mountain immovable. The river indomitable."
She takes her hoof and points it to Nemesis. "Who are you? She who is held captive by her own weapon? She who allows her own name to be discarded?"

Nemesis laughed spitting at the ground. "Names are worthless, titles are worthless. The only thing that matters is action." she said, poison in her voice.
"Defender of the living? What have you done to earn that, hm? The Noctals brutalize and enslave thestrals in droves. The living are killing eachother and you strut around, like some god, killing beasts. That does absolutely nothing. You do nothing. You are nothing." she said getting real close to Kaclea.
"I am Artoria Duskcrown, Nemesis to injustice."

Kacela's eyes don't break from Nemesis'. Not even at the mention of the thestral enslavement. "Hm... I see now..." She says simply, without expounding on it at all. "You have much to learn... About the true responsibility that you carry... Very well. I will teach you."
She seemsto have come to terms with something within herself, her body relaxing more and her grin returning. "I choose you to be my champion. To be my paragon. My student in the ways of gods."
