Nemesis blinked incredulously. "What are you even on about?" she asked giving Kaclea a very confused look.
"Responsibility? I'm a knight without a lord, a pegasus." she said her face still very much contorted. "You should start at the beginning." she said as she normalized. "I thought I was just some slave to a sword to you."

"You are." Kacela states, leaving no doubt on that. "But slaves often break their chains and gain freedom, do they not? I will give you the tools to break your chains. And someday, you may find yourself elevated to higher callings."
"Do not forsake this honor. You will learn more of yourself than you ever thought possible. And I can see, you will save many more lives as well. But before then! Let me see that weapon!"

Nemesis sighed shaking her head stabbing her sword into the ground. "Whatever was inside of it is... mostly dead. A warrior from a thousand years ago sealed it somehow. It used to control my mind but not anymore." she explained looking at the sword in anger.
"Like I said, it just heals my wounds and keep me alive. I'm not even sure what happens if it got destroyed, not a lot of experience with magic. The thought of suddenly not existing was... Terrifying."

Kacela steps forward and looks at the sword, rubbing her chin and seeming to ignore what Nemesis was saying. "Such a clunky thing... Swords were never my prefered piece." She says, laying her hoof on the guard. "Let's see... I've never done this before, so bare with me." And in the next second, there was a flash of light, and Kacela seemed to be sucked straight into he sword, the only indicator that she was still there being a soft light that eminated from it.
There was a moment of silence, followed by Kacela's voice vibrating through the blade itself. "Ugh, this place is absolutely filthy. No wonder you feel cursed, it's a mess in here!"

Nemesis blinked, stepping around Nightfall curiously. "You're a thestral. How did you use magic? Better yet... Why are you in my sword?" she asked in a tone of mixed amazement and confusion.
"Actually, forget all of that. You're not a thestral, clearly. What are you?"

"I told you! I am Kacela of The Hunt!" She says once again. "My name has been all but forgotten in this realm, but I was once a well worsipped deity among the Thestral and Noctal clans." When she was done speaking, there would be a release of energy in the form of mist, exiting the sword from the small light. Nemesis might feel some negative energy leaving her body after this.
"Whoever used to live in here had some sloppy eating habits..." Another release of energy. "Oh! There he is. Ah, but he's dormant now. Best leave him where he is I think. For now anyway." Another release of energy and the light would flash again, with Kacela emerging from the sword, standing next to it, but holding her nose. "Where did you find that thing?"

"Dragons hoard." Nemesis said watching Kaclea curiously. "Whats the point of any of that? You didn't really change anything, I certainly don't feel any different." She pointed out.
"I tracked a dragon to its lair atop a mountain on Terra, fought it for hours killed it and... Touched the sword. Instantly cursed. 'Woke' up a thousand years later after that warrior I mentioned before... did something to Nightfall."

"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to pick up strange magical items?" Kacela asks as an attempt at humor. She move her hoof from her nose and looks at that sword. "It needs some work, there's a lot of corruption inside that sword... Otherwise! It will serve fine. Even if it isn't a spear."
"I'm sorry for thrusting this on you when we've only just met but... There are dark powers emerging. I have a feeling that someone will need to protect the innocent before too long. I hope I can count on you."

Nemesis' face hardened. She was a pawn for a god before, part of her gagged at the idea of doing it again. She fell for the words of immortals once before, who to say this time would be any different? She seemed almost angry. At the same time, she craved this. A purpose. It was so long before she had one. The other part of her wanted to accept.
"I served a god once. She was an evil, lying, power hungry monster. She set family against family and I cast my morals aside once to serve her. How do I know you're not the same? How do I know you're not just using me for some obscure selfish end goal?" She asked, her nose clenching in anger, like a wolf's would. "I'll not be a simple tool again. Not to you, or anyone."

"You're expecting me to say something like: 'You don't. You just have to trust me.' Right?" She says it in a silly, mocking tone. "Don't ask questions you already know the answers to. Will you help me, or will you not? I wish you would, I doubt I would find another of your skill level to replace you."
She holds her hoof out towards Artoria. "I assure you, I only have good intentions in my heart. If you refuse me now, you should not expect to see me again."

Nemesis peered at Kaclea, critically. Part of her yearned for a purpose but she would not be fooled into following some dark and twisted caricature of a deity ever again. She quirked an eyebrow.
"Before I decide, tell me exactly what you hope to achieve by having me. Your goals. No tricks, no loose words just tell me honestly. If you can't do that than we have no business."

Kacela put her hoof down and grinned. "Of course. In the short term, I would see balance restored to this land and the dark forces that threaten it banished back to the underworld. Already there has been a stirring here, have you not felt it?" She takes in a breath and thinks for a second.
"In the long term, I could make you like myself. With your own power, not borrowed, or rather, stolen time." She looks at Artoria's sword with a condescending gaze. "And perhaps that can be cleansed as well."

Nemesis quirked her eyebrow again nodding. "I see." He looked down a moment in thought. That was tempting. She wouldn't have to kill things anymore to stay alive. That in itself was enticing enough.
"Fine, I'll champion you. On the one condition that I can quit whenever I want, if I don't like what you're doing."

"It's a championship. Not an enthralling. You will retain any free will you want to retain. Preferably all of it." She offers her hoof once more. "It will be good to be in your company. I hope we learn many things from each other. From here on, you may refer to me as Kacela. No titles needed."

Nemesis looked at the hoof and hesitated a moment before nodding and shaking it. Whether or not this was a good thing would be seen. For now, For the first time in nearly two thousand years, Nemesis had a cause again.
"Then you can call me Artoria. No need for titles after all." She said smirking some.
