Welcome to my extra blog for the week. Today I will be interviewing my very good friends Fyren and Blayze Sawyl. Fyren is the Crown Prince of Scotia, a large country to the North of Covesea Island. When I was around ten they were exiled from their country and came to live on Covesea Island. We attended the same school, but they were younger than me.

Socrates: So Fyren and Blayze is the fire elemental reputation for being amazing lovers justified?



Fyren: Of course. (Fyren leans forward and lays his hand on Socrates knee), wanna try it big boy? You can feel the warmth from me spreading through your body can't you? (Fyren winks).



Socrates: (Purses his lips and grins), You prepared to take on Nate for my love? Always fancied having my affection fought over.



Fyren: (hold his hands up): OK, OK. I like my head attached to my body. (he pulls a face and holds onto his throat) Shame though, you are one handsome specimen. (he blows Socrates a kiss)



Blayze: Ahem! When you two are finished cavorting would you like a glass of Port Red?



Socrates: Just a little one, I'm a bit of a light weight when it comes to my liquor. (He gets out three crystal shot glasses).



(Blayze gets out a dark-blue glass bottle from his bag and pours the bright red liquid into the glasses. A strong smoky aroma fills the air).



Fyren: Shame Nate isn't here enough of that stuff and we could consider a threesome.



Socrates (comically rolls his eyes): Honestly. Anyway before I partake and spend the next five minutes coughing perhaps you can tell me more about your homeland? (he closes his eyes and knocks it back. He goes bright red as he fights to contain the cough),



Fyren: Well we used to live in the main city Glassburgh. Producing Port Red and other aphrodisiacs form part of the main industry. Our country is powered by the large volcano. All fire elemental people who practice the yang-qi meditation have a connection to it and can project heat. When we are angry we have to be careful not to touch each other as it can cause blistering and nasty burns. This makes for a fun peaceful society. When the royal family and elemental abbot were ousted it was done fairly peacefully with a vote. A fire elemental war is nasty and we have no desire to return to the time when Scotia was charred and in ruins. Our family opted to accept exile rather than cause problems. (he winks) But then Socrates my dear in one of Anya's stories you experienced a slap of an angry fire elemental.



Socrates: (touches his cheek) By all accounts I will be scarred permenantly.


Fyren: (touches Socrates cheek lightly) Ouch sorry didn't realise she was going to do that to you. How on earth did we get lumbered with her as an author. Oh did you hear Blayze and me are getting a bigger role in a story she has planned?




Socrates: (grits his teeth) I know every time she plots a story she marginalises me again. You know Nate has weedled his way into a bigger part.



Blayze (laughs): Bet that made your home life fun.


Socrates: Anyway gentlemen I am sure we will meet again soon but that is our time over. If anyone reading would like to ask Blayze and Fyren more questions please leave a comment and I will get them to answer them for you.

 I am in trouble. Anya says I should not have nagged her for solo blog space if I was going to moan about it, but I had a sleepless night last night.  I am dog tired. My partner is home for the first time in weeks and Anya is annoyed with me.

Anya has been up the wall this week says she doesn't feel very well. Something about Volcanic ash making her Fibromyalga worse. I am feeling neglected she has been working on her other characters and not given me a second thought. Gus and Iris do seem really fun though. Looking forward to meeting Iris. I think maybe she can write a blog for me on the days I have better things to do with my life. .

As the volcano is erupting it feels topical to talk about the fire elementals. They come from the country of Scotia. Their main city Glassburgh is dominated by a large volcano that provides them with balance. When the planet Litae is feeling out of whack the volcano becomes more or less active. The fire elemental people are usually tall and lithe. They have flame-blue skin that flickers, amber eyes and fiery-red hair. As they age their hair fades to orange. They tend to be stunningly beautiful but have funny flame shaped ears. Their skin is warm to the touch, it can become intolerable when they are angry. I once made the mistake of making one jealous, had a hand shaped burn on my cheek for weeks. It never did heal completely. I mean all I did was eye up a falcon. I've never really been into any kind of birds either of the feathered or female variety.

Litae has five elements and over the next few weeks I will introduce you to them. On Monday next week I will interview my good friends Fyren and Blayze Sawyl who are fire elementals. In the meantime I think Nate was making me a ginger tea, it is time to go back to our tiny one roomed cottage and greet him. He has been away for over three weeks with one of his Secret Service missions, and I have missed him. It is so like blooming Anya to bring him back and make me work on the same day.

Anya has given me full control of the blog. She says she is fed up of my jealous behaviour and if I really need the limelight that badly I can have it. Only now I have it not sure I have much to say for myself. She is rechecking Mayhem for errors and things at present so I have been relegated to the big brother role again. Not that I mind, I like spending time with Angus. She is also working on his next story.

For those new to my blog I will do my best to explain who I am. My author was watching a music video one day and I appeared in her head. Fully dressed and with my name. She says I chose it, but I think Anya must have because I hate it. Think it's awful not to mention the stupid nickname, Soc. However of the trials she puts me through it's fairly low down on my list of gripes. When I first appeared she had killed me off in the first chapter of her first ever story. She rewrote the story to give me a fairly major role and bring me back to life. Since then she has written a novella about my childhood, and a few other stories at various stages of my life. I get jet-lag trying to keep up with the stories.

I met my best friend Nathaniel Smith at seven and we became lovers at seventeen. Life with him is good, although I do find it insulting that she says writing me without Nate is like writing half a character. Apparently we are welded together. I guess if I had to be welded to anyone Nate is who I would choose, so it's not a bad thing. I want to ensure you I am a fully functioning well-rounded male. I mean which half am I ? Bottom half or top ? Either I guess implies I am brainless.

In the new book, she has me as a schoolmaster and has given me the worst class in the school to teach. My brother Angus and Jack are always fighting. Why does she do this to me? I am not even the main character in this story, I don't get why I can't have a part which doesn't involve any kind of physical or emotional pain for me. Things only get worse when I am in the main character role. Right now she is trying an experiment with Nate, Angus and myself in main character position, each telling our story. She wants to start it with a fight between Angus and I, so far we haven't let her do it. I am sick fed up of fighting. She needs to find a new start for this book – I won't fight Angus he is my baby brother. Anyway last time we fought it took twelve Soaring Warriors (soldiers) to drag us apart, it could get nasty and I have no desire to spend the book with broken bones and bruises. We are just plain not doing it, she maybe able to bribe my brother with cake and a night with his wife, but that is not working with me. Not even a night with Nate in a cabin in the woods is going to work this time. Like with all I get put through a petty argument with him over my nephew scribbling in a book would happen. No way she needs a new plan.

Next week I will introduce you to the Island I live on. In the later stories I become guardian of Universal Balance and become ensconced in the Sanctuary Temple of the fifth element.

    I am a character created by Anya Kimlin.  I live on the beautiful Covesea Island which is on the Planet Litae at the centre of the universe. Anys likes to put me through the wringer and has written me at various stages between the age of seven and one-hundred-and-forty-nine.  Sometimes I get jet-lag trying to keep up.

    At seven I met Nathaniel Smith my lifelong bestfriend at seventeen he became my lover.  We finally were allowed to move in together at twenty-eight.

    Litae

    My fantasy stories are set on the Planet Litae.  The universe forms the body of the Universal Father, a constantly present but also absent deity.

    The Planet Litae is his eternal organs.  Performing tasks equivelent to our heart, kidneys  and mind, anything that happens on the planet can effect him.  Serious imbalance can cause the deity equivelent of a heart attack or brain tumour.  It has a strong link to Earth which functions as the universe's immune system sending people to Litae to fight the imbalances.


    People are like the bacteria and they must be kept in balance or he gets indigestion. 

    Fireflies work as the bloodcells carrying the life giving energy round the universe.  Orange give energy and white take it away.  They return to the Planet Litae to be cleansed and pumped back round the universe.
