I placed the idol on the pedestal, took a deep breath, and waited.
After a moment, when nothing happened, I turned around. She stood there, looking confused.
"Why isn't it working?"
I stared at her.
"What?"
"You... You've backstabbed, betrayed, and left for dead every ally you've ever had in the pursuit of power, and now that ultimate power is within your grasp, nothing?"
She shivered.
"Don't remind me, but you've shown me the light, I'm not that person any more!"
And thus, with no innocent blood from a betrayal, the spell didn't hold and everything started up once more.
