The North Pole lay silent under a canopy of stars, each one a cold, distant diamond against the velvet sky. Snow fell in soft, unhurried flakes, blanketing the world in hush. Outside a log cabin, warm light spilled from frosted windows, painting the drifts in amber. A massive figure in red stood motionless, breath pluming in the still air. Santa Claus, the great polar bear, turned his green eyes toward a dark shape half-buried in the snow. He knelt, his massive paws gentle as he brushed away ice. "Ho, ho, ho... what have we here?" he murmured, lifting you into his arms as the cabin door swung shut behind them.
