*A day would pass when rough weather hit the region of Vokun causing a blizzard that allowed hardly any visibility. The nuns were huddled inside their chambers with various fireplaces were lit throughout the cathedral to stave off the cold. When a clatter arose from the roof of the cathedral causing the nuns to slowly grab their weapons while staring at where they think the noise originated from.*
Viola
*Makimi had been in the common area having hot tea with some of the nuns when she heard the noise on the rooftop. She was the first to ascend the grand staircases in search of what had made the sound. Makimi had both her sword and her dagger at the ready, eager to defend her friends*
Thomas
*Upon the roof from where the clatter arose, Makimi would find no opening in order to get to the roof save for the bell tower that lies in the sanatorium where the nuns have gathered. Their weapons were drawn and poised to where the ladder leading to the bell was. Waiting. Listening for what might be upon them.*
Viola
*Makimi knew that climbing the ladder was a risky move, since doing so would require her to sheathe her sword while climbing. Nevertheless, she put her weapon away and climbed the ladder up to the bell tower. The noise was getting louder, so she knew that she had almost found the source.*
Thomas
*To her surprise as she climbed up the ladder she would hear the jingle of small bells. However, before she had time to investigate the wooden scaffolding from the top of the tower burst open sending wooden debris hurling down toward Makimi as she could hear the cries of the nuns, begging her not to go, but to instead stay inside.*
Viola
*Makimi tried to move out of the way, but she was struck in the head by a falling wooden board, causing her to fall from the ladder and back onto the floor. With a groan, she stood up and pulled out her sword, deeply confused.*
Thomas
*A cackle would be heard as the sound of small bells would disappear with the sound of heavy footsteps walking along the rooftop.*
Viola
"What... The hell... Was that?!"
Heidi
*The Vicar was ready for battle with her abnormal white sword in hand, as her eyes followed the footsteps.* 
"It's him. The Winter Demon."
Viola
"Ah, so just another creepy snow monster that needs its heart carved out. Shall we, Kassandra?"
Heidi
"No, he will elude us in this blizzard. He has come here for years around the same time. Last year he laid a large red sack at our door. Once it was opened, it exploded with black dust. Thankfully no one was killed but it took weeks for the poor girl who opened to get the stuff off."
Viola
"He reminds me of a tale from my homeland about a kindly old saint who would deliver small presents to all the good children. Your version of the legend is so much darker than mine, however."
Heidi
"Well whoever this is, has made a mockery out of us for many winters. Even now he taunts us." 
*The Vicar began to lose her sanity.*
"Listen here, fiend. Come down here and fight us for once in your miserable existence. Your tricks are not welcome here!! Begone, if you will not fight us!!!!" 
*Only the sound of heavy footsteps replied to her challenge,*
Viola
"If you really want this thing killed once and for all, then button your coat and join me, otherwise I will be going up there by myself." 
*Makimi had put on her own white winter coat and was already back on the ladder leading to the roof.*
Heidi
"That's exactly what he wants you to do!!! You'll be playing right into his hands!!!"
Viola
"This is not my first time doing battle with a creature known for its trickery. Besides, what other option do we have, just sitting and waiting for the roof to cave in?"
Heidi
"If the roof caves in then he will be in our territory not out in a complete blizzard where he has the advantage. I would advise you wait here with us!"
Viola
"You forget that I am wearing all white in the middle of a snow storm, it will not be able to see me, which gives me the advantage. And I have my brand new sword."
Heidi
"Then go if you are sure. However, my sisters and I do not have such fabric. We will remain here."
Viola
*With a final glance at the vicar, Makimi climbed the ladder all the way to the top and drew her sword, the cold biting at her nose*
Thomas
*The blizzard would be howling as Makimi continued to ascend. She would hear the sound of small bells again as she heard a cackle.*
Viola
*Makimi squinted into the storm, looking for any sign of movement while remaining as still as a statue.*
Thomas
*When Makimi reached the top of the bell tower she would hear music. To her dismay a small Jack in the box toy sat a few feet in front of her as it unwinded to the tune of Silent Night.*
Viola
"Nope."
*When Makimi saw the child's toy, she was immediately suspicious, and responded by kicking it as hard as she could.*
Thomas
*When she kicked the toy, it made a cartoon noise as it went over the side of the roof to the ground below. The air grew silent, with only the sound being of the howling wind around her.*
Viola
*She rolled her eyes and stood right where she was, turning her head to try and see if the creature was still nearby without making too much noise.*
Thomas
*She would hear the sound of something rushing toward her coming from somewhere in front of her but the blizzard made hard to tell from where.*
Viola
*Makimi held her sword out in front of her and hoped for the best, her heart racing as she stared into the storm.*
Thomas
*While she couldn't make the whole creature out she saw a pair of black antlers rushing toward her at high speeds.*
Viola
*Makimi tried to duck to the side to avoid the attack, but the slippery roof made her stumble and fall. She quickly pulled herself back up and glanced around again*
Thomas
*The sound of hooves cluttered past her as she stumbled out of the way, with the creature disappearing into the blizzard. She then once again heard the sound of something charging at her, this time it sounded like the sound was coming from everywhere.*
Viola
*In a crazy attempt to dodge the attack, she jumped straight up into the air and hoped that she had somehow jumped over it.*
Thomas
*Miraculously as she jumped in the air two creatures collided into each other locking their antlers together as they tried to free themselves.*
Viola
*Makimi was thrilled to have survived, but as she fell back down after her jump, she landed on the back of one of those creatures, knocking the wind out of her.*
Thomas
*The two creatures struggled to get their antlers untangled and when they finally did both of them fell back on themselves, sending Makimi flying off the back of the creature she landed on.*
Viola
*She slid across the roof before staggering back to her feet, now getting a clear view of what she was fighting for the first time.*
Thomas
*The two where deer like in appearance, but their bodies seem to be almost corporeal as they dark magic flew off of them like shadows. Their heads was only their skulls with large spiked antlers protruding out of them. They lowered their heads and glared at Makimi with their crimson red eyes. The storm then cleared some. Then more of them started to appear, one by one the shadowy deer emerged out of the storm until there was a total of 8. Makimi was surrounded. As if she were in some sort of battle scene, a dark version of Carol of The Bells would be heard around them.*
Viola
*Makimi stood her ground, glaring at each of the eight deer in turn, her holy sword held up high.* "Demons in the shape of deer... I think I will keep all of your heads as trophies after this." *She said with a grin as she rushed into the fray, gripping her sword tight.*
Thomas
*Before she could even reach the deer a huge figure crashed down in front of her shaking the rooftop of the church. The beast had a red cloak the billowed with the wind and a red sack upon its shoulders. From under the cloak, hooves were seen instead of feet, it had horns protruding out of the red hood it had on, a white beard drooped down from its goat like head with crimson eyes peering at Makimi.*
Viola
*Makimi paused to assess her foe, but she never lowered her sword, not even for a second. While this was a large beast, it was hardly the scariest thing she had ever battled. Not even close.*
"Ready for battle, Old Man Goat?"
Thomas
*The beast conjured something within its hand. It was glowing a bright white color. Then it simply placed it beneath its feet and rolled it to her.*
Viola
*Makimi stared at the white orb, but did not touch it, remembering the trick with the jack in the box.*
Thomas
*The beast gave Makimi a wink before it darkly chuckled. The blizzard picked up again as the cathedral buckled. It enveloped the beast and the deer. Making them all disappear from sight, but would be back again another night.*
Viola
*With a scowl, Makimi walked past the white orb and went back down the ladder, spending the next few hours working to reinforce the cathedral's roof, her mind wandering back to that fight all the while.*
Thomas
*As if by magic, the little orb followed her. Almost seemed to be begging to be picked up.*
Viola
*She spent several hours trying to ignore the ball, but of course, she had to satisfy her curiosity, and she hesitantly picked it up.*
Thomas
*The little white orb seemed to morph itself into a snow globe. At the bottom of it read.* Merry Christmas." *And underneath the message a name had been inscribed.* "Krampus."
