[Don't ask when this one would ever see the light of day.]
"Don't worry, I have sent for the high priestess of Muldoon," Princess
Rune turned towards the arch at the far end of the throne room where three
figures stood.
Three short figures. Two of the girls seemed to be about 14, but the
shortest one looked to be 13 or maybe even 12.
"Your majesty, we are the assistant priestess of Muldoon," The tallest of
the three, with blue eyes and long flowing blue hair curtsied, "I'm Umi."
"Hi, I'm Hikaru," The shortest one waved. Her unruly flaming red hair
was mostly tied back in a pigtail, but stray strands of her forelock hung
in front of her blood red eyes.
"I'm Fuu, your majesty," The third girl bowed. Her wavy dark blond hair
was held back by a plastic hair piece, leaving her forest green eyes to be
framed by her large glasses.
"When will the high priestess arrive?" The princess asked.
"We can handle whatever you may require. We have been assigned the lamps
of power," Umi held up the blue disk embedded in the back of her left
hand.
"They're stuck," Hikaru picked at the red disk embedded in the back of
her left hand.
"We're the lensgirls," Fuu looked up from the depths of the blue disk
embedded in the back of her left hand then cringed as Umi exploded at her.
"Give it up! Nobody is going to get an obscure joke like that!"
