Of course, the only place where the diamond could be expected to end up was in the hands of a genius, Pao thought.
Summer was too short-sighted to keep it hidden away in her drawer. The right person could do wonders with this...Of course, there was no harm in making a tiny wish for herself first.
"I want to be acknowledged! Praised, and famous! I know! I'll wish for the whole town to grovel and groan at my feet. Hahaha, I'm so clever."
The diamond flared up, the town disappeared and...
Pao-Ting was sitting on the top of some sort of Aztec pyramid. What was this? Where'd the town go?
She realized that her feet were locked in big stone stocks and thought, this can't be good. She noticed that there was a long, LONG line of people in front of her, stretching beyond and around the bottom of the pyramid.
The first person in line crouched down and kissed her feet.
"I got it! That diamond must've been a trap by that stupid Summer. Just you wait when I get out of this..."
"All hail to the feet of the goddess! Its touch will bring us good luck!" The person to the left chanted.
Pao realized in horror that after the previous person stepped aside, the next one knelt down to her feet, and ran a finger up and down.
"Hey! Ha-ha, no touchy! Hey! I'm your goddess, right? Then I command you..."
The man on the left stepped closer, he looked like a sort of priest.
"Please, goddess, the people must get in touch with your feet or bad luck will haunt them."
"They don't need to tickle me for that!"
"Ah, but you see it's very important...For the goddess' foot and voice to respond, some of these people have a lot of troubles to confess..."
"That's got nothing to do with me! How long does this line go on for anyway?"
"It's a sixteen hour service every day. In the dry season, then we go back to foothbaths. That's about three months from now..."
