Under the silent cloak of winter, a hushed stillness enveloped the night. Beyond the frosted window panes, light snowflakes danced in the chill air, swirling in a delicate ballet. Deep in slumber, Anon remained oblivious to the serenity outside- nor their visitor. The faintest sound of sleigh bells and heavy footsteps upon the roof could be heard through the howling wind.

Growling, the frosted imposing figure stepped through calmly, snowflakes and the winter chill following suit. The hooded beast’s icy glare set its sights on Anon still in bed as it closed in on them, thunderous hooves resonating through the room causing the floorboards to creak beneath.
