"This is the United Nations news service! Welcome, I am Diana Weller, your first source of news, right out from the Sorcerer Kingdom."

The woman on the screen was charming, offered her beautiful smile as she started her report.

"As you can see, we are still in the Sorcerous Kingdom. Receiving the exclusive chance to report our experiences."

The camera shows around the scenery, offering a picture of a magical kingdom with a floating platform on the sky, a modern city mixing many styles and thriving community — various people walking on the street, watching the camera with a mix of surprise and confusion.

"Here, let's ask a few people about their experiences in this magical kingdom."

Diana proceeded to walk towards random citizens, asking them.

"Excuse me."

The Death Knight glanced at them, growling to move along.

"Right... not the chatter type."

Being the undead was slightly intimidating, the reporter proceeded, looking around for the perfect candidates for her first interview.

Asking humanoids was done before, and was somewhat boring. Thus, she aimed to ask someone exotic — people with different heritage, and maybe opinion.

"They will be perfect!" Diana's eyes flashed, spotting the perfect candidate.

"Are you sure...? They look savage."

"Don't soil your pants, Dan! We are here to meet these people! What's better than asking those who are different than us?"

"I still do not like this..." Dan muttered, adjusting his camera on his shoulder.

"Tch!" ignoring her colleague, the woman adjusted her dress, proceeding to the people browsing the wares not far from them.

"Excuse me! If you have a moment!"

"Hmm?"

The towering demi-humans, those looked like a mix of wolf and human — one may call them werewolf — turned their attention to Diana, moving their ears slightly.

"What do you want, human?" the baritone voice of the male boomed, asking her "gently."

"Hello! I am Diana Wallers from the UN news. Reporting our findings of your country. Care to answer a few questions?"

The "werewolves" turned to her and the cameraman — a hungry, dangerous light appearing in their eyes.

"Di- Diana... I think it was not the best idea..." the crew muttered behind the woman, feeling the gazing hunger they faced just now.

"Sush! Joshua! Be natural..." she forced a smile after berating her crew, trying to look natural. She doubted she could run away, not with her costume tightly hugging her well-proportioned form. "Damn..."

"Ohohoho! Of course, dear! Hunch! Don't glare at them! You will frighten them!" The demi-human with female characteristics and mixed brown and white mane hit her husband's side, making the male with majestic black fur whimper for a moment.

"So-Sorry..."

"Please, forgive him. It is a bad habit of his."

"Ah-Ah... sorry! Can't help it! Bad habit!" the towering wolfman apologized, scratching the back of his neck with an expression that many may interpret as an embarrassed, apologetic look.

Diana and the rest of her crew sighed, relieved. It seems, they dodged a bullet, for now at least.

"So, what do you like to know?" the female wolf grinned, although her smile meant to be kind, it made the crew a little bit uneasy. Seeing her long canines was certainly intimidating.
