Today is a special
day because I am interviewing a very special guest. Prince Ryder from the Winter Court has come
all the way from the Land of the Fae to interview with me. (Squee…….) I have been warned by L.P. Dover that I will
probably be drooling with Ryder in my presence, and I do believe she is
right. She snagged him away from the
story and sent him straight here.
(Ryder is
sitting across from me looking all gorgeous and staring at me with those ice
blue eyes of his like he’s looking into my soul. It takes all I have to look away from his
hypnotic gaze. I shift in my chair and
shake my head to clear the fog.)
Me: Thank you
Ryder for joining me today. It’s not
every day I get to meet a fae Prince, and a winter one at that.
Ryder: (He smiles) Well, it’s not every day I get to meet a lovely
mortal either. I want to thank you for
having me. I don’t usually come over to
the mortal realm much, but I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet
the lovely Amber.
(Swoons…..I
think I just melted in my chair. He
smirks at me and I’m almost positive my face has turned bright red.)
Me:
(clears
throat) You are so sweet Ryder and thank you for the compliment. (He nods and smiles). I do have some questions that I would love to
ask you
.
Ryder: By all means….ask away.
Me:
According to
L.P. Dover it seems there is evil brewing in the Land of the Fae. She also mentioned something about a dark
sorcerer and a Prophecy. Have the courts
figured out what to do about it all?
Ryder: Unfortunately, no. It
appears this dark sorcerer is very powerful, and no one really knows about him
or how to defeat him. Many of our fae
have gone missing or turned up dead so all we can do for now is try to keep our
people safe until we figure out how to destroy this evil. I do know that we have to fulfill the
Prophecy in order to save our land. But
again, there have only been speculations on how to do that.
(His face
tightens in worry so I decide to switch the subject.)
Me:
With your
affinities and magic, does any of it work in the mortal realm?
Ryder: (He nods his head and laughs.) Yes, it works
in the mortal realm, and let me tell you…it’s been very entertaining at times.
Me: (Intrigued) How so, might I ask?
Ryder: My brother, Kalen, and I love to come over
when it’s Halloween here and cause mischief…..(I give him a disbelieving look
and a wolfish grin takes over his face.)
Do you even know what my affinities are?
Me:
(Shakes head
and smiles) That was actually going to be my next question.
Ryder: Well, let me enlighten you.
My magical affinities allow me to change the weather and……turn
invisible.
(At my
wide-eyed expression he laughs)
Me:
Have you ever
spied on anyone while being invisible….like say, the women in your court, or
here for that matter?
Ryder: (Feigns shock) Now Amber, please tell me you wouldn’t think I
would ever do that. No, I have more
respect for women than that. I’m not
going to deny that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind, but never will I ever
act on it.
Me:
Speaking of
women, I know you just met Calista, but how did it feel when you saw her for
the first time?
Ryder: (His features soften and he smiles) When I first saw her it
felt like my soul was about to burst from my body to get to her. The pull was so strong and in that moment I
couldn’t think of anything or anyone other than her. My heart recognized her instantly. She was made to be mine……always.
Me: That’s very strong feelings for someone you
just met. If I’m not mistaken, isn’t
there another man that vies for Calista’s heart?
Ryder: (He groans and tilts his head back in annoyance) Yes, unfortunately
there is.
(A knock
sounds at the door grabbing our attention.
The door opens and here strolls in a handsome tanned and blonde warrior
with a smirk on his face. He walks over
to me and gently takes my hand and brings it up to his lips.)
Merrick: (He places a chaste kiss across my knuckles.) I do believe that other man is me, my
lady.
(My knees
feel weak and thank goodness I’m sitting down.)
Ryder: (Fuming) What the hell are you doing here?
Merrick: Calm down ice boy.
Calista told me you were here so I decided to come and crash the
party. I can’t let you have all the
attention now can I?
(Ryder looks
like he’s about to charge so I jump in to lighten the mood.)
Me:
Guys, it’s
okay. This is a treat for me because now
not only do I have one gorgeous fae in my home, but two of you. I couldn’t ask for anything better than this.
(Merrick
takes a seat beside Ryder and they both smile at me.)
Me:
I want to
keep the mood light, but I know that might be a little difficult. Please try though. (Looking at Merrick) From what I hear, it seems that Calista and
Ryder have a strong connection between them.
What will you do if she chooses him?
Merrick: She won’t choose him.
I have been with her ever since we were babes. I know everything about her……what she
likes/doesn’t like etc. I have guarded
her ever since I became a warrior and I know she cares about me. Our connection is deep…(he looks over at
Ryder)..more deep than a silly crush.
(I look at
Ryder awaiting his comeback.)
Ryder: She doesn’t look at you the way she looks at me. I will fight for her no matter what, and if
you stand in my way I will take you down.
We may have just met, but what we feel is definitely not a silly
crush. I’m sure your sun bleached brain
will figure that out eventually.
Me:
Okay,
gentleman….next question. With the evil
looming around the Land of the Fae I have heard that it might be after
Calista. (They both tense at my words.) Would you die to protect her?
Ryder: Absolutely. I wouldn’t
think twice about it.
Merrick: Always. Her safety is
all that matters to me.
Me:
Well, Calista
is very lucky to have you both. I want
to thank you for joining me today. I
know you both have to get back to your realm.
I do have one last question…is it easy travelling back and forth through
the realms?
(They both
smile at me while standing up. They look
at each other and then back to me with mischievous smirks. I don’t know if I like the way they are
looking at me.)
Me:
What’s going
on you two?
Ryder: How would you like to see how easy it is to travel back and
forth?
(My heart
goes into overdrive. I look back and
forth between them both.)
Me:
You mean you
are going to take me there….to your realm?
Merrick: Why not? I think you
will have fun.
(They both
extend their hands and I take one of each.)
Me:
Alright
everyone, this wraps up the interview. I
am getting ready to do something I never thought possible. I will have to fill you all in when I get
back.
Ryder: IF you get back. You
might decide to stay with us. (He
winks.)
(They pull
me towards the door and I have no clue where or how this will work. I’m nervous, but excited to see what the Land
of the Fae looks like. I have to make
sure I come back so I can tell everyone what it’s like.)
Me:
Goodbye
everyone!!! For now…….
