Hecate threw a spiraling handful of starlight into the shimmering bowl before her and glanced over her shoulder. "What is it you truly wish, little cousin?" She asked, arching a brow, her dogs stirring in the shadows around them.
Artemis paused and moved forwards, bold and unafraid but upset, and Hecate crooned an undertone of query for she truly did wonder, and she truly would offer aid to her young cousin if asked, if worthy.
Artemis' jaw firmed and her eyes were hard as she met Hecate's gaze. "A spell to bound my virgins' lands when they are not in my forests; the mortals have become afraid," she grinned fiercely, one of her own dogs snapping playfully beneath a stroke of her hand, "but the others. . ." Her mouth twisted with distaste and fury Hecate had tasted herself, and she narrowed her eyes and inclined her head.
"Help me seal it for you, and we will make such a spell they will recall the strength of your maidens' wildness for a thousand years; whatever foolish male seeks to cage them." Hecate promised, shadows gathering and plinking one by one into the moon-bright potion before her.
