Fuck No!

For a moment time stands still. With one hard shove of this ebony talisman between the pale thighs of the hanging priestess (the demonic idol throbs in your hand with this thought) you could seal the dark bargain and no longer have to worry about anything ever again.

"We'll make you King of this City, more powerful than any general or prince. No one will be able to take what is yours; not the High Rider, not the Lord Marshal not even the High Priestess of Helios herself could tell you what to do."

Another man, perhaps that aristocratic peacock who is probably even now settling into Lady Sophia's estate left empty by your decision to move to the Temple of Athena, might be tempted with this kind of power, not you. From your squalid background in the slums of Heliopolis, just having an estate of your own is far more than enough. What would you want an entire city for? Sensing your disdain for the offer of ultimate power, the demon in your head switches tactics.

"What about women?" It asks, filling your mind's eye with endless lines of naked chained captives on display for your selection. "You could have as many as you wanted, any woman at all! Tight young virgins, like Adriana and your pretty blonde bitch, or haughty noblewomen like Sophia to suck your cock? Any woman you want; even the Priestesses of Aphrodite will be yours to command, submissive beauties trained all their lives in the sensual arts begging to fuck you." Then it shows you a woman dressed in the armor of a man struggling furiously against the chains that hold her. "Or maybe you'd prefer the spirited Huntresses of Artemis brought to you in chains, a new man-hating bitch brought to your bed every night for you to crack open and tame."

Again, you have to chuckle a little, already you have a pretty good sized stable of all manner of attractive women, what could you possibly want with hundreds more? "Wait! The voice in your head must realize it is loosing you. You can have anyone, Amara herself restored to her chaste condition for you to plunder, maybe the Regent's own daughter to serve as a bed warmer... or perhaps... your mother? Brought back to life and gifted with her youthful body, as lush and beautiful as it was when your father planted his seed in her..."

With a laugh, you realize how little this piece of ebony can offer that tempts you. Setting it on the alter you pull the High Priestess from the polished block of marble and send her in a heap to the floor. The blade of your short sword hits the phallic idol three times before it explodes with a screech of inhuman pain and a flash of noxious green vapor. The shriek from the demonic dildo is echoed by the grey-haired woman that crouches at your feet. The once beautiful raven-haired High Priestess is now wrinkled and bent like the images of the crone you remember seeing painted on the Temple's walls.

"Praised be the Goddess!" Exclaims the slender blonde priestess still swinging by her wrists. "We are saved!" In spite of her **** position, with the destruction of the cursed object her confidence and poise have returned. With a cruel grin you take in her (thankfully unchanged) naked body; unblemished pale skin, small round breasts, a flat belly and lovely untouched cradle between her smooth thighs. This priestess of Athena's idea of salvation might not be exactly what you have in mind. Of course, there are lots of other naked women to choose from, and no pressing business for the foreseeable future.
