" Who are you?" she inquired, narrowing her eyes thoughtfully. " You have an odd aura about you, and it seems both magical and attracting at the same time. I am drawn to inquire as to whom you are, for you feel like a person of some importance. Whether it is in the ranks of men, or the sake of the balance of this world."
She gave her staff a thoughtful look, rubbed her chin, and then turned her attention back toward the strange woman. She had a different aura than most humans these days, that was for sure.

"you want me to blow my cover, for your sake?" she asked. It wasnt really a question, it had more of a 'you must be crazy' tone. "i came here to relax, if i blow my cover i wont get the vacation i came here to get" she said flatly. She wasnt about to give up her only chance at a vacation because of some lycan.
"i am both. but that doesnt mean i have to always play my role."

" Pah. Such arrogance will taint your soul," she snapped back, shaking her head with a smirk. " Perhaps I was misinformed. You're just like the rest of your kind, sadly."
With a light sigh, she leaned against another tree that was located near the edge of town. It was still close to the other woman, though not -as- close as before.
" Pity. Let us hope the fate of any balance or anything of importance does not depend on you, my dear."

"my arrogance? i have saved this world ten times over. you would not be alive if it werent for me, because this world would not even exist. you are unaware of what goes on in the realm, and in the realm of the gods. i am not." she replied flatly. "if you cannot see why someone would deserve some time to relax, away from the stresses of work, then that is your problem, not mine." she muttered. "i am not obligated to talk to you or anyone while on vacation."

Anya laughed. " You speak as if you are a god yourself, missy. Your arrogance does not know any limitations, I see. I was not aware that -you- were the savior of the world. I did not know that you were the only one who we counted and depending on, and that all the other heroes and heroines of the world were just sad little fables."
She rolled her eyes. The gall of this woman! How she would take credit for the saftey of the world!

"do you really want to know? if i tell you it will be partially your responsibility if i dont get my vacation." she muttered. "fine. ill tell you. yes, i was once a god. i know them well. few people know anything about the fallen gods...the ones who have completed their domains...they are soon forgotten. i may not be a god anymore, but i still know what they do, and know how to find them." she almost growled. Getting up, she started walking again. Anything to not have to sit there talking to this lycan that wouldnt let her have some peace and quiet.

Anya listened with an arched brow, seemingly doubtful of what the woman had said. But, she didn't push the matter any further. She watched her leave, smirking to herself. Her little plan had worked, like always. Nobody had enough patience to see through her little facade nowadays, and she'd extracted the information she had been searching for. Not that the woman cared.
But perhaps this information would come in handy?

"if you ruin my vacation further, i will hold you personally responsible for whatever happens." she growled. Whistling, she called a horse to her. It came quickly, as if it had been waiting for the call nearby somewhere. She took a moment to greet the horse and pet it before actually mounting it.

" I'd be more than happy to accept responsibility," she muttered. Fallen god? Hah. Even if that woman spoke the truth, she held no respect for her, and assumed she never had. Anya was never one to worship more than one of the said deities, as most of the others had never done anything for her. What did she owe them? In her mind ,the nothing they so 'generously' gave her.

"i dont have to prove anything to you,Anya. forgive me if im not used to being treated like some commoner, i usualy dont take my vacations in public." she said, finally mounting the horse,"if you dont like me, i dont care. i came here to relax, i dont like not being able to do what i go somewhere to do."

" Then go and take your petty little vacation," Anya replied. " I am not holding you back any longer, am I? If you have nothing to prove to me, then why do you insist on staying here and listening to my thoughts? Perhaps you really do wish to prove yourself to a doubter like myself?"
She smirked again. Anya could be cruel at time,s but life had been cruel to her. She wasn't accustomed to being like this, but she did want to see what power this 'fallen goddess' had. Anger had gotten her the information, so perhaps anger would do more?

"you cannot anger me further,Anya. so dont try. youll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. when your ready to be pleasant and drop the act, i will be at the mage tower near town." with that, she spurred the horse into motion, heading in the direction she had mentioned. She wasnt going to stick around longer then she had to, so if Anya truly did want to know, she could come find her again later.

Anya laughed to herself, shaking her head. Well, regardless of whether she'd angered the woman or not, the woman had offered to tell her more later. For someone who had originally acted like they didn't want to tell a thing, she seemed as if she truly wished to share her secrets with someone.
" Fine, I shall hold you to your word, missy," she muttered to herself, stalking off toward the tower, though in a different direction.
She managed to get there as the sun started sinking in the distance, and sat herself down on the ground for a moment, taking a much-needed sip of water from one of the many attachments of her belt.

By horseback, she had gotten there first of course. That little fact was obvious by the horse wandering around grazing outside. It wasnt tied, and yet didnt wander off on its own, so seemed as if it had some deeper connection with its rider then was at first apparent. said rider had already gone inside long ago.

Anya muttered a few things to herself, relaxing her aching muscles for a moment as she gazed at the horse, then at the tower itself. She had walked a long way, and though she lived for such things, even she grew weary of it at times.
But, after a few moments, she forced herself up. She supposed the woman wouldn't be hospitable for too much longer, especially after the sun had gone down, so she trudged the hardly-worn path to the tower, almost in awe of it. She'd never seen anything quite like it before.
