Anya couldn't quite understand why she had come to Trill. All of a sudden whilst she was 'hitchhiking' on regular Starfleet ships back to Unity she had been overcome with the sudden urge to come and see her 'Grandmother'. Come to think about it she had only met her twice and yet she had been overcome by the urge to see her? No something definitely wasn't right. Anya stepped off of the shuttlepad staircase and entered into the terminal building. Anya passed through the security checkpoint flashing her SSF ID Card and showing her sidearm as well. The local security didn't have a problem with her packing heat and waved her through. When she entered the next room there was a slender, female Trill in a white hooded silken robe.
The young woman spoke, the hood revealing only her mouth. "Miss Xerxes, we've been expecting you. I have prepared a transport to send us to the Lunar Shrine where the High Priestess is waiting for you."
Anya resisted the urge to move her hand towards the Macarov 9mm she carried. "How exactly have you been expecting me? I didn't even know I was coming until two days ago and I never sent any word ahead. So is my grandmothers information network that good then or was this cobbled together at the last moment?"
The young woman gave a knowing smile that really pissed Anya off. "We knew Miss Xerxes because she told us."
"My grandmother? Is she some sort of psychic now?" Anya replied.
The young gave that knowing smile again and motioned for Anya to follow her before placing both her hands in front of her in the opposite sleeves of her white robe. "For who you're related to you should show more faith."
"I've got plenty of faith kid. Faith in myself, faith in my subordinates, faith in my fighters. I don't hold faith with half baked predictions from fortune tellers and for all I know you've been waiting at that shuttlepad gate since the day several months ago I first met my so called grandmother." Anya replied acidly.
The reply came back in the same serene tone no doubt accompanied by the same irritating smile. "You would know Prophet."
The words chilled Anya to the bone. She had only confirmed Prophet's existance to one other person and that was Athena. It was quite likely that Alecto and Susan, Viktor's daughter could sense Prophet inhabiting her but they had never voiced anything about it. How Anya's grandmother or this woman knew or even suspected Prophet's existance was something which Anya simply couldn't explain.
The young woman led the way into a transporter room and stepped up onto the padd before turning and saying to Anya with that same damned smile. "Come Miss Xerxes, the Goddess awaits.
