Ambrosia - 1

Even without mountains of work to avoid, Ambrosia wouldn't be anywhere other than in the stands as Harmony opened the Ascendant Games. Too bad the company left much to be desired.

"Does she have to wear that outfit? It's indecent. I have a hard enough time convincing reporters she's a respectable lady." Kelly White complained.

"It's her armor. One she is bonded to. She can no more change that than she could her…" Harmony could change her hair, nails, skin, and face. "...height. I caution you to be careful of what you criticize." Ambrosia finished.

"I've heard how you parade my daughter about in your shows as she shakes her body while it is projected for all to see." Kelly continued a little too loudly.

"Shhhh… it's starting!" complained a person three rows away.

The parade of contestants entered the colosseum. What would these Ascendant Games be? This would be worse than climbing Nae's Garden. At least then she got to help Harm decompress every evening.

"To think I had to cancel my performance of Queen and the Cursed for this," Kelly whined.

Ambrosia had to call off one of her pets from depositing a load on the actress. Her darlings would do many things to appease her irritated feelings. Yes, it would have made her smile. No, it was not appropriate at this moment.

Harmony disappearing in a flash left Ambrosia with a tightness in her chest and tears at the corner of her eyes. Harmony would doubtless do well and have it be months before she returned.

"Is that it?" Kelly asked.

The colosseum floor was now empty, but it had only been moments. It would not be it, and Ambrosia knew it was rude to ask it. She'd been there with her parents in Naewauld when the dueling competition was active as a child.

With a crack of energy that set the hairs of everyone's arms rising. A giant cube rippled into existence. All six sides flickered on showing scenes. Harmony, in an even more unclothed state, stared in the distance. Eric punched small spiders in the woods. Len, with activated tattoos, blasting purple lizards with a stream of fire. It the the beginning of a show that would have people keeping the colosseum full as they moved in and out to watch it.

"Well, now..." Kelly White started until she found her mouth forcibly shut. "Urk." She grunted.

[Admonish] wasn't a true silence skill. Ambrosia had never used it on any of her precious pets, but it was one she had as part of her beast-tamer skill set. It took flexibility and an understanding gained through Harmony's notes to be able to shift it onto a person. Kelly White had only been invited to be at hand for this moment. For when Harmony, due to being indisposed, would no longer be the controller of the work contracts.

"What… are… you… doing… Harmony,... would… never…?" Kelly pressed through clenched teeth.

"You are right. Lady White would never treat anyone under her employ in this manner. That was one reason why I was disappointed in her decision to hire you. I would have rather helped her dig a hole. But she isn't here now and per the clauses in your contract, I am now in charge. You will come with me and adhere to the standards I expect! Needless to say, you should have read the fine print, Bitch!"

Ambrosia gave Kelly a cold smile. As sad as it was to see Harmony go. This would be a good day.
