Tera did as she was told and Izusa sat and thought carefully about everything she read.  Taking the ribbon she bound her own left hand to Tera's right.  The woman's palm was very warm and slightly damp.  Izusa could see the woman was nervous, and a little bit excited.  She couldn't help but notice that as Tera closed her eyes and started visualizing as instructed, her own left hand pressing against her stomach.  Izusa let herself fall into a light trance as she visualized the ritual and began softly muttering the words of the prayer, the plea to Shoni.  She felt a divine power, a presence, like the way the air felt right before a thunderstorm.  But it held, even as Izusa finished the words to the spell and let out the final breath... nothing.  It was as if she'd gathered the power but the spell didn't quite work.  Mentally she reviewed what she knew about the spell and the ritual, and wondered if she'd done something wrong.<br/><br/>Then, a tiny voice from behind her right ear, the voice of Iber said softly,<strong>"Shoni is the goddess of love, Pandora is the goddess of lust.  I think if you were transferring the life to another of your faith it might be simpler, but maybe you need to dig deeper, find the commonality between the two faiths."</strong>
