A new gift

(EDITED 10-9-23)

A large figure stands before a red box, the box adorned with a thin white lace that ties into a bow, shining in the light with the gleaming red foil-like wrapping paper. A deep voice reverberated throughout the room, it seeming to laugh as sound was emitted from the figure, it's large and human-like form shaking along with the pattern of their amusement. Their canine-like crooked teeth poked out as their mouth as their face scrunched up, a small smile forming as their prickly incisors seem to poke out. Down below the entity there was a gift that resided in the little quaint box. The monstrous entity crouched down to the box, poking at it with its long dirtied black fingernails, a hum-like purr being emitted.

"Was this the gift I was given?" It rasped, the voice low and deep as it croaked, it spoke as if it hasn't used its voice in years. Its black beady eyes looked at the gift, seeming to observe it. "The goddess seems to like me enough to give me such a present..." it rasped, it's paw like hands touching the box, feeling the red wrapping and bow as their nails poke into the red wrapping. The creature dug his nails into the box, ripping the decorated square apart as it revealed the identity of the present. The creature halted, stopping itself from ripping the box anymore as it stared at its gift, seeming to be stopped in time. Slowly, it removed its arm from the box, slowly and carefully as if they didn't want to damage the prized package anymore. An inhumane smile grew on its face, chirps emitted as the purring sound was brought to full volume.  There below the creature was a silhouette, one that seemed hallow and transparent as it laid on the ground where the present once was, airy moans emitted from it as it had no face or no identifying features. The only thing valuable to it would be the space it took up.

"A mate?! The gods has been so generous to have given me a mate?!" It spoke, excitement laced within its deep tone as it spoke its foreign language, the body below him replied in a moan. The entity dropped to its knees, getting closer to the transparent figure as it observed it, the purring stopped. "A female child." It spoke, a neutral tone with hints of distaste heard as it continued to speak. "Is this a joke? To give me a child, a young adult at that, not even a mature one?" It queried. The creature blinked, concealing the anger as it picked up the transparent body, keeping its anger at bay. "Nonetheless it's a mate that I won't take for granted, this child shall be protected until she's of age unless it needs intervention." It spoke, hugging the translucent figure towards their body as the let out a moan.
