Nara is a metal death demon. It has long, dripping fangs, claws that tear flesh to shreds, and is covered in eyes. Nara is the god to whom many bow down. Nara has an insatiable hunger and demands sacrifices on a daily basis.
Nara is a trickster and confuses people into following its
lead. Its chief form of slaughter is inhabiting humans who use small metal
pieces that shoot even smaller metal bits into the bodies of others. It fills
people’s minds with ideas that Nara is good and just and makes a person free,
when really, it merely shackles them. Nara’s coffers are filled with riches as
well as the bones of its victims. Nara will stop at nothing to gain more wealth
and bodies.
Nobody knows if or when they will become a sacrifice to
Nara. It chooses its human inhabitants at random, usually option for quiet men
seeking attention, or the ill, but it rejoices with each slaughter of an
innocent. It particularly loves children and those in educational settings. People
learning to expand their minds are ripe for the picking by Nara, who feeds off
their energy.
Nara is very good at making humans feel sorry for it. It
convinces people it is the victim and needs protection, and so it has been
cared for for decades of time, with no end in sight. It will use its trickster
powers to convince people that the quiet attention seekers and the ill are at
fault for the slaughters. It points its long, clawed fingers at them all while
shaking its head in mocking sorrow. The people set up to protect our land are
often fearful of Nara, or openly worship it, and so Nara’s power merely grows.
Nara leaves many questions in its wake. Can nothing stop it?
Is it more powerful than we? Will we continue to mourn the loss of Nara’s many
sacrifices? Will its hunger ever abate? If only there was somebody strong
enough to battle Nara. Perhaps one day, there will arise one who can, and will.
If only that one had arisen long ago…
