Pride didn't really know anything about Christmas. They never celebrated it back home. It passed by every year like just any other day. Generally cold, sometimes snowy, but otherwise unremarkable. This year he was out to see what made it so special. He kept hearing people say things about Christmas Miracles and lists and getting what you want if you are good. And well, Pride was very good at what he did. So the way he figured it, he was a shoe-in for one of these Christmas miracles and getting what he wanted.
He was out... somewhere. he honestly didn't know any of these cities. They were far larger than anything that he'd seen before. Packed with people in comparison to his small village and home. And drowning in excess. Food and drink were available on every corner. People content to waste what they had because of its abundance. It was a mockery of existence.
But Pride was not content to let himself grow soft like these people. He walked through the cold, not bundled in furs and cloths but kept warm by the burning presence inside of him. Prowling the streets as he hunted his prey, stopping now and then to close his eyes and listen to the whispers within his heart. Left, right, right, right, left, left, right. He followed the voices as they screamed at him, each time a new voice, the monster inside of him letting out a low rumbling growl of warning. Whether at the voices or the world Pride could never tell. But his friend was always there for him. And today the voices were giving him a boon, his Christmas miracle.
Rounding the final corner he saw the man. Dressed in all red, his face bloated and hairy with a large bulbous nose. The man's belly rolling like a bowl full of jelly as he waddled to a carriage being pulled by some strange animals that he'd never seen before. Pride, ducking against the corner watched with fascination as the man called out to the beasts, all of which worked in unison to pull his vehicle to propel his girth with surprising speed. It was magical, and Joy was going to be so jealous that she had missed out.
HE HAD FINALLY FOUND A FAT ONE!
