Not every Loa was like Akunda, the "honest fellow" so favored by the Queen, diligently serving as firewood incarnate in this ritual of draining power. There were always some "clever ones" with other ideas in their heads.
Yet they did not dare to cause trouble at a time like this.
To their left stood the Holy Spirit Rezan; to their right was Bwonsamdi, the "Evil Queen's newest lackey."
Those two would not joke around with them. The moment any Loa showed "treasonous intent," it would be executed on the spot.
