Nemesis Daughter of Night



The Tale of Nemesis

Nemesis is an Ancient, one of the last of her kind. Once a proud and powerful race their are very few left now. Ancients are the ancestors of the elven races. They are tall, willowy and otherworldly graceful and beautiful. They are one of the oldest races known.

Nemesis was left by her real parents to be raised by Sidhe parents and had an uneventful early life. She met only one other ancient, a young boy named Trinight who also lived in her village. Nemesis' adoptive parents died while she was still only a child and left her tobe raised by the local shaman, an old half dragon named Caleen.

She grew up mostly happy, the people of her village shunned Nemesis, thinking her evil. One year, when she was sixteen years old, a plague full upon her land, killing animals, people and the harvest. Shortly after raiders started attacking and killed more people. The townspeople blamed it on young Nemesis and drove her from the only home she had ever known.

After that, she wandered the land. The young thief soon found herself in Midgaard where she joined another thief named Blackfire, who would later disappear. In time she was found by Akee Dikira who saw a great deal of potential in the young ancient and brought her into the Order of Chaos.

Nemesis then met Sticky Fingers, a powerful human thief who took her as his apprentice and taught her all he knew. And so it was up til the day he to vanished mysteriously, leaving Nemesis alone once more.

Then came the day she met a young drow thief named Knolin. She could never say just how they had met, but was glad they did. Their lives were happy and peaceful for the most part until a new force entered her life.

The High Knight Vishki. The two would meet by chance in a place they both favored to the usual tavern. They started to talk that day, the conversation that would last years and seal a most unnatural friendship. In their talks, Vishki found a pure, but very troubled soul. In time she convinced the Queen of Thieves to turn in her picks and daggers for a sword and a conscience.

It was shortly after that time that Sticky would return to the land. Upon finding his prize pupil a paladin he became less then happy. Starting a group known as the HellSpawn, he would harass the High Knight and Nemesis. Using her own friend, Knolin, against her, and trying to blackmail her back into her old ways. Sticky used Knolin to do his dirty work, while he tried to convince the High Knight he had changed. Nemesis had always made it her business to know things, and knew her old teacher better. She knew he was the leader of HellSpawn, but kept the face of innocence on hoping to find a way to catch him in his own lie. This would be interupted however.

The appearance of Sirius DarkAmber, who claimed to be the daughter of the now mad Shadow KalDaka(DarkAmber), brought much to the table and forced Sticky to the back if Nemesis' mind. They would fight til Vishki stepped in and enforced peace between them.

Nemesis' ties to those such as Knolin and Sticky created to many suspicions in Sirius' mind however and the two would once more take up their private war. This fight brought much of Nemesis' darker side back to the surface. Cheered on by the evil of the realm, that side began to grow more and more. She soon came to believe that she was unworthy of her teacher Vishki and reverted more until the High Knight stepped in once more to reassure her friend that no matter what, they would always be friends. Shortly after the land was detroyed. Many escaped this detruction, but it is said that Nemesis and Vishki stood thier ground at the very eye of the destruction, stopping it from spreading, but being detroyed themselves.

No one can say for sure if this is true, Nemesis and Vishki have not been seen since, maybe only the gods can say what became of them.....maybe, their are somewhere waiting for the land they so love to return....
