Starfire Costume Novels & Stories

"Huu...Panther: Red Star Convergence" General Siwa's words were like a magic spell, for the star on her right glove suddenly came alive. The star leapt off the surface of the glove and integrated into General Siwa's forehead. Like a well lit lamp it stood between her eyebrows and illuminated the face of the one it beheld. General Siwa's eyes assumed the crimson color of the star once it was established on her forehead, and her power grew by twofold! Her expression became one of neutrality, and she struck out another fist!

I mentally debated before answering. “No. Of course not.” I snatched up the palette of greens and browns, praying that this wouldn’t cost me my job. •* * Once I finished styling and dressing her, I could tell that StarRise was not pleased. Green eyeshadow ended in a swirl on each of her temples, and brown blush lightly dusted her cheeks.
