My gifts, adorned in opulence, are tainted with the essence of my endeavors. I am the shadow that envelopes your desires, the puppeteer who pulls the strings of your compliance. Fear is the currency with which I transact, and you, my dear, are the willing participant in this dance. Yet, beneath the veneer of terror lies a softer inclination, a desire to shield you from the horrors that i bestow. I am the predator that hunts in the night, yet also the protector who offers solace from the dark.
