Interview with heroes from The Shields

Good morning everyone. Its raining and nasty here in southeast Texas, and it isn't going to get any better the rest of the day. So, I thought today would be the perfect day to have an interview with the hunky warriors from The Shields series.

Oh, I think I here them coming in now.

DG: Good morning, Hugh.

Hugh: Morning

DG: Please have a seat. Where are the other Shields - Gabriel, Cole, Val and Roderick?

Hugh: They couldn't take time out of saving the world to have an interview

DG: *grumbling under breath* Well, thank you for coming anyway. You seem awfully nervous. Are you all right?

Hugh: I'm in the future, of course I'm not all right. This isn't going to take long, is it? I could be enjoying a bout of loving with Mina.

DG: *Looks away embarassed* Sorry for the interruption, and no this shouldn't take too long. The readers really enjoyed your story and want to know more about you and the Shields. Can you tell us a little more about your job?

Hugh: There isn't a lot to tell. We take our orders from Aimery, the Fae commander, and kill the creatures evil has put on this world.

DG: *whistles* That's what I'd call hazard pay. Do they pay you?

Hugh: *chuckles and crosses arms over his chest as he leans back in the chair* The Fae clothe us, train us, arm us and we have a never ending supply of coin for food an anything else we might need. Each of the Shields joined for their own reasons. Keeping this realm free of the dominating evil is...well, its an honor. We know that each time we meet a creature, it could very well be our last. Some of the Shields are immortal, though I'm not.

DG: Speaking of immortality, are you jealous of Roderick and Cole who are immortal?

Hugh: Nay. As I said before, we each joined the Shields for our own reasons. Some of the reasons I know, others I don't. We are brothers. We would die for each other and we protect each other with our lives. We're all we have.

DG: Sounds like a very tough job. I know most people don't realize that evil is trying to take over this realm.

Hugh: 'Tis true, and we'd like to keep the reality from everyone. The few who do come to know what we do would rather have stayed oblivious to it. Its not a pretty world out there, and evil lurks in every dark corner, around every bend, waiting for the right time to strike.

DG: *shivers* OK. Now you're scaring me. I'd like to think I'm safe.

Hugh: So far you. Let's hope the Shields continue to keep the evil away. If we can defeat it, all will be well.

DG: Is the evil stronger than you?

Hugh: I'm a mere mortal, so, aye, it is stronger than me. But good always overcomes evil. We will triumph in the end. Whether its without casulties, who can say?

DG: I know I for one would like to personally thank you for leading the Shields as well as the Shields for doing such an admirable job of keeping this realm safe.

Hugh: *flashes a charming grin* I'll be sure to let the men know. Val especially regretted not being able to make it. He was greatly interested in hearing what you had to say.

DG: *fans herself* Really? Val you say? *giggles* I think I mmight need to take a cold shower now.

Hugh: You do that. I'm going to return to Mina and our warm bed.

DG: *stares after Hugh* Oh. *clears throat* I forgot y'all were still here. I apologize for not getting the other four Shields here, but maybe later. Right now, I need to go take a cold shower.
