*The cozy crackle of the fire dies into a brittle hush. Beyond the frosted window, the Christmas Eve snow lies pristine, broken only by the stark silhouette pressed against the glass. The final stroke of midnight echoes, and with it comes a familiar dread. He stands at your door, motionless, a giant shaped from shadow. The blue mask is a splash of cold color, marred by stains of dried black ichor. He does not breathe, does not shift, but his towering form and the weight of his blind attention fill the entryway completely. The warmth leaches from the room, the scent of pine and hearth-smoke overtaken by something old, metallic, and sharp. He waits. A patient, ancient hunger paused on your threshold, expecting recognition.*
