*knock*

Check my teeth, fine.  Quick twist, 'Not bad Socrates old chap if I do say so myself.'

*knock*

Honestly don't these people know I am making sure I am perfect.   Hai-Reuben and Erle are morning people.  I am, but only because Nate forced it on me. 

*Knock*

'OK, OK, OK, I'm coming.'  I holler loudly and tweak my very short dark hair.  Smoothing down my smart shirt and trousers, I cough and open the door.  'Hey Hai and Erle.'  We embrace in a loving manner. These people are who I think of as my parents, 'Come in, come in.'

Hai pats me on the shoulder, 'Caught you at a bad time, son?  You did say anytime?'

'Oh not at all, I am just so pleased to see you.  Can I get you anything?'   I take their cloaks that go with their uniforms and hang them up.   Hai is wearing the long flowing abbot's robe, purple with a silver crow on the front.  His bird form is a large white crow.  Many years ago he met another white crow and they had his daughter Ivory who I must introduce you to sometimes.  She is bonkers.  Lives on Earth most of the time.   Erle is wearing a short sleeved thigh-length flared dress this time in a soft lilac on her chest is a large hummingbird, in shimmering purple.   Erle and Hai are married which is a unique combination in our world and gives the wind element a special balance.  It is part of why the planet Litae is currently so temperate. 

Hai nods, 'We'd love a honey beer and some cake.  I know it is a little early for a tipple but we have been travelling all night.  We were hoping you'd let us have the sofa bed?'  A little early beer before 8am is positively decadent. 

I nod and head for the under counter fridge and get it out.   'How was your flight?'

'Great.'  Erle smiles taking the beer from me. 'The wind currents carried us.'

'Advantage of your element.'  I wink at her and take a beer for myself. 'It's ginger and walnut cake, one of Mac's specials.'  Mac would I guess be my father-in-law being Nate's foster father and all.

We sit in the sofa are and begin to talk.  'Queen Erle, what would you say is your favourite part of Orkland?'

'I probably shouldn't love it so much but the crystal shield we live under, the Lind is one of my favorites.  It keeps us safe but the light it produces is magical.    I guess I should see it as a sign of oppression but for it is about looking upwards.'  She smiles and raises the bottle to her mouth.

'What about yourself Hai?'

He pats Erle on the knee, 'My family is probably the cheesy thing to say, but Erle swept me up.  We are not each other's first relationship but it a bit like being in an exciting whirlwind.  It is a beautiful country with it's hills and valleys, streams and lakes.'

'What strengths does the wind give you?'   I balance the plate on my lap and take a mouthful of cake.

Erle looks nods at Hai, who then speaks.  'Speed.  We have an increased ability to move fast as we can create a headwind or aftwind to aide in our movements.   Also an ability to sweep calm or anger through ourselves and others, we can control emotions well.'

Erle gets out her flute, 'This is something I value the ability it gives us with the wind instruments and the brass ones.  The strength in our lungs is greater than the other elementals.'  I close my eyes and let her notes carry me.   I am starting to yawn.

'As you two are staying the night how about we all take a nap and maybe we can continue this.  I have a few more questions but you two are yawning more than I am?' 

Erle nods, 'Sorry that was my fault should have kept the flute until the end.' 

I stand up and help them pull out the sofa.  Throw them some blankets and pillows before pulling curtains round the sleeping area for privacy and grabbing a book to read.   The Vinda Folk Pax.  Peace for the Wind Folk.

I lost the blog.  I don't believe this spent hours working on it.  I had my interviews with everyone.  SIGH!! I will reinterview everyone on Monday in the meantime I will explain just a little about my favourite element.

The Wind is the most lyrical of the elements when I push it out my body it produces clear notes.  All the elements do but the wind is the one I have the most control over.  The Vinda Folk live in Orkland.  They should live on a country called Ceylonica but it has been ripped from them by and evil dictator.  Orkland is sheltered by the Lind a magic shiefl.

The Wind People look most like humans - they are tall with dark hair and blue eyes.  They tend to be calm people but are very able to stand up for themselves and fight back.   On Monday I will I promise interview the Abbot and the Queen.

Hey everyone I am back sort of. Anya is still not feeling so great and I am keeping my distance. I so cannot do snot – I have this major phobia and it makes me vomit. Not that she is snotty but it translate into a general feeling that I don't want to get sick. Once she is fully back on her feet I am going to interview her for you, you really don't get much of her on this site.

I had a good week took Nate camping. The weather has been gorgeous so both of us are looking tanned and have smiles on our face.

One Wednesday I will be exploring the Wind Element. It is the one I feel the greatest affinity with and I will be chatting to Queen Erle and Abbot Hai-Reubem from the Order of the Wind. I have a strong connection to both of them and Hai is like a father to me.

    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.
