In front of the bright light, it stood and guarded.

...I was going to tell you that it has not told its name yet. But while writing this, it just appeared. Its name is Truth.

A postcreated creature that has somewhat ethereal essence. It can diffuse through solid matter. Its iron skull has only one eyesocket, it can look like staring even without eyes. Dark fur covers its neck, tail and a part of legs. It has wings made of floating iron pieces, nine rusty iron feathers can change their position to create an illusion of open wings.
Truth is possibly really skilled one, but nobody has ever hear it talking, neither keeping any sound except its iron hooves clattering when it walks. It has calm behaving and never try harm anybody. Still it's dreaded one - it somehow can show its real self for normal mortal creatures, who otherwise would be protected by their brains and ideology "that doesn't exist". But real reason to fear is its timing to appear. Truth "sees" the ones who are in the line between live and death - those who are very old, ill or injured and near dying but still alive. Truth watches them, without doing anything. When they die, Truth disappears. Sometimes someones can heal and come back to sure life - then Truth disappears, it's clear sign that the one it was watching is not going to die.
Sometimes Truth is mistakenly said to be some sort of death bringer for the poor ones. Truth doesn't hurt them, only watches them being close to death. If the dying one has anybody around, Truth just watches silently and doesn't care scared companies (if somebody tries to touch it, it's ethereal and thus untouchable). However, if Truth encounters dying creature who doesn't have anybody with, Truth sits down and shows clear kindness towards poor soul. Truth doesn't let them die alone.
Not sure why Truth does what it does.

i feel that Truth itself represents a greater truth... and that truth is what it stands for to those who've seen it. yes, i know this is a very deep thing to assume, but it fits. it helps those with noone else, just as humans do. but when others are around, it acts calm and unfazed, not letting others see its emotions, just like people. those who've seen it know that when death occurs, truth is revealed. yes, im sensing several symbolic meanings to this, but the last one seems the most noteworthy...

anyway, good job. looks awesome.
