Description
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 from afar. However, if Truth encounters dying creature who doesn't have anybody with, it 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.

Realle aestethic...brilliant in the way it looks and behaves.
I like this arrow-like wings, seeming like an ever existing danger which Truth doesn't care about.

This is freaking EPIC. And the info you gave, very informative and honest. It sounds what the word truth would be as it's name is supposedly. The details here are also great!

Wow, this is truly a masterpiece!
It looks so dark and yet it is really kind, and the wings/skull look intense. I love it

And in front of my eyes, it stood and looked awesome.

Even there is no background, it looks as it would walk from somewhere to you.
Just amazing.

Truth.. wow.. what a kind fellow to let nobody die alone, i think that would be worse for everyone to die alone in silent when noone cares..
When i read the discription like that.. i could think that it is a creature sent from the other world (and there i mean the world of death, if something like that would exist) to help People, Persons, Creatures.. that are dying to overcome their fear of dying, especially their fear of dying alone in the world with no one else besides them who care..
and.. Truth and these details on him.. wow.. that kicks ass
