HAM
Chapter 16 – Lucky lady
In the dimmer area of the Kingdom a crowd gathered as Ham confirmed to all present that he had finally found his perfect match. After searching for many years he had finally found a lady worthy of his affections, and who deserved the honour that would naturally flow to her as his future wife.
'What's her name Ham?' asked Troy.
'It's Ariel,' he replied.
'Ariel, I like that, it says something about her potential when her arm is intertwined with yours,' said Troy jovially.
'What makes you think that she's the one?' insisted Lucifer who was less convinced. He was already questioning the wisdom of limiting ones potential by binding oneself to another.
'I have seen it in her eyes. I have quite an effect on her and for that she is wise and deserves to be rewarded.'
Truth be known, Ham had never had much of an effect on any female, due to the dim nature of his countenance which reflected the deficiency in his character. In Ariel, Ham had mistaken a little politeness, coupled with the shock of what she had seen in vision, as Ariel being overwhelmed by his greatness.
Despite Ham's explanation, Lucifer still wasn't satisfied. 'Are you sure that it is wise for you to select a partner from amongst those at the brighter end of the Kingdom?' he asked.
'Please don't worry Lucifer. This maiden is very humble and will soon know her place. In no time I'll move her here' said Ham callously.
'How will you inform her of your decision?' asked another spirit.
'I've been thinking about surprising her outside her abode,' responded Ham. 'Can you imagine her wonder and excitement?' he continued.
After espousing the nature of his intended approach, and expanding further upon the anticipated delight of the lucky damsel, Ham set off to deliver to her the happy news.
Chapter 17 – Sound counsel
As she had promised her friends, Ariel went to visit with Mother. Mother knew precisely why Ariel was visiting and was glad that she had.
'Ariel, I'm so happy that you've come to see me!' Ariel's heart leapt when first she heard her mother's voice. 'I know you've had a lot on your mind lately, my daughter.'
'Mother, I've waited so long to find a companion and finally someone is interested in me, but it just doesn't feel right.'
