A shadow that is cast even over darkness [Artemis]

Julia had received a message the day before. Which was strange for her, someone had bumped into her and by the time she had turned around to see who the person was gone and she had a message. The message was a location with a simple message saying to be there. She thought it strange that someone went out of there way to find her, she had been pretty inactive for the past 300 years but sticking to a few murders in random locations. She found it interesting enough to check it out though. She approached a simple warehouse near the docks, didn't look all that special. It was strange to her but regardless she opened the door. It was extravagantly furnished but was bare at the same time. The only thing in the building one could relax on where two chairs and one of them filled.

"Where you the one who called for me?" asked Julia. "A better question is how did you find me. I've evaded people for centuries, i want to know how you found me."

Julia looked at the strange women and sat down, she had obviously gone out of her way to find her. "You didn't answer my question, how did you find me. I've been relativity inactive for the past 300 years." Julia walked to the seat opposite the mystery women. She sat down, still looking at the women curoiusly, trying to figure out what she wanted. The women had searched for her for an unknown amount of time. Could it be a trap? Or possibly this lady wanted to ask her something. "What do you want?" Finally asked Julia. "Better question, what does it have to do with me and how to I benefit?"

"What's the catch witch? I'm old, not an idiot." said Julia. "What do you want? My service? I have never been offered something without a catch. The first and only time I blindly agreed to something was when I first became immortal. It cost me my soul, even though I took it back a few minutes later it's the point that matters." Lotus paused, leaned forward and looked at the witch right in the eye. "Why should I trust you. I don't even know your name and names are power. Which is why my true name is lost in time, if no one can find your true name they hold no power over you, as much as they think they do." Lotus leaned back in her seat and waited for the woman to answer. Her answer would decide her answer.

She still didn't give her her name but Julia would of been lying if she said she wasn't impressed. Someone this powerful wouldn't do all of this for nothing. Julia stood up as well, now looking around the warehouse. "Impressive, I can just figure out your name later. You wouldn't go through finding me if you didn't feel the need for my help. I am still impressed though, you must of been reading some pretty old books to know about me." said Julia. "Anyway, I accept you offer, we can discuss payment later, now I'm going to remind the world i'm still alive. I trust you can find me later." Julia exited the warehouse, wondering what this new alliance will have in store for her.
