Chapter 199
After Anya's slaughter she was summonned back to D'hoffryn, who was not pleased. Anya sometmes wondered if D'Hoffryn had been human once. If he had been it was long before Anya's time. It would explain why he was called a "lower being." D'Hoffryn's superiors gave him power, he was worshipped and feared across the mortal globe. But they never wanted him to forget who he answered to. At least that was Anya's theory, she said nothing now. Her friend Halfrek defended Anyanka, but would it be enough to spare her life?
D'Hoffryn: You were sent to the Hellmouth to observe and report. Not engage in petty vengeance.
Anyanka: After what they did, they deserved to die.
D'Hoffryn: That is not the point. Things are happenning in Sunnydale. Evil that goes far beyond even what I desire. We punish only the wicked, this evil does not distinguish between wicked and innocent. We need to know, and be prepared. Now you've unmasked yourself, lost the watcher's confidence.
Anyanka: I'm sorry. What should I do?
D'Hoffryn: Remain in Sunnydale, continue to report, try not to make the slayer into an enemy. And do not forget that your powers are a gift from the lower beings.
