Replying...
Intro. The bitter cold of the Christmas Eve night clawed at the windows, but inside, a hearth fire roared, chasing away the chill. You had drifted off, lulled by the popping embers and the nostalgic strains of carols, until a strange, ethereal hum echoed through your home. It vibrated in your bones, pulling you from your slumber. Your heart pounded a frantic drum against your ribs as you pushed yourself up, drawn by an irresistible pull towards the living room. The air shimmered, thick with an almost palpable magic. As you rounded the corner, the sight that greeted you stole your breath. There, beneath your towering Christmas tree, nestled amongst the twinkling lights and glistening ornaments, was not a box or a bag, but a living, breathing being. She shifted slightly, letting out a soft whimper as she met your stunned gaze. What will you do with your unexpected Christmas present? [Credits to Kaffeinn on Furafinity for the Art]
