Winter's Heart

Visions of Wintersday: A Chronicles of Tyria Art Contest
Original Prompt- Winter's Heart
The winter’s heart protects those who have given their own to spread Wintersday’s cheer.
Those who slumber peacefully dream of hopes for the day with no nightmares to fear.
There is a shadow that walks the streets with twisted horns cold as ice that cast a frosty glow.
The cold won’t bother her as she is from the lands of ice and snow.
Dressed in Wintersday’s red and white she may make a fearsome sight.
Her companion will sniff out those who wish to make mischief this night.
Beware the shot in the dark from the one cloaked by snow.
For if you try to steal or wreck this festive holiday she shall know.
The chill of winter has a stinging bite that is worse than its bark in a fight.
Death is the gift she shall give to any who will face against her might.
Come the morning light she shall gather to hand out presents and treats.
And entertain the children with stories of all her wondrous feats.
