"…and there were no survivors. Back to you Cyril."

The camera cut to an indoor lounge where two people sitt in chairs, facing each other. On the left is a spry man in a blue coat and white collared shirt. He is clean shaven, wearing a rehearsed smile. On the right is a portly man in a burgundy suit, a well-trimmed moustache adorning his face.

"Thank you Lisa," Cyril states. "I'm here with Professor Peter Port, teacher of Grim Studies at Beacon Academy. Now, Peter, as I understand, you have an important announcement to make, right?"

"Thank you, my dear man, indeed I do!" He booms out, perhaps a bit too loudly, as Cyril visibly flinched. "I am here today to announce that as of now, I, Peter Port, slayer of monsters and protector of the weak, am now a published author."

"I see, so you've written a book? What can you tell us about it?"

"Well, I can't divulge all the details yet, but I can tell you that this book tells a story. A story of a young, aspiring young man, who grew to become a mighty huntsman. Me!"

Cyril flinched again.

"So, this is your autobiography, then?" he asked, massaging his aching ears.

"But of course!" the portly man replied. "The book covers all of my hunts and adventures, but pays particularly close attention to my first hunt, against a rather rowdy Beowulf. After all, that is when I had the most to learn! Ha Ha!"

Cyril did not flinch this time, as he was expecting the blow. Once more, he put on his smile, though it was a bit more forced this time.

"Thank you, Professor Port. I'm sure the people of Vale will be glad to know that Peter's…er…work, Peter and the Wolf, will be in stores tomorrow morning. This is Cyril, wishing you a good night."
