Unzulaja - The Night Serpent

A report by NB-0218. After the download of information from the entity Kimmasi, Observer BL-2004 began to audibly narrate many of the entries they were given. In an attempt to maintain the nature of the information in the format it was received we will do something a bit dramatic. So, I, NB-0218, present:

THE DATABASE OF KIMMASI

As transcribed into aural narrative by BL-2004 and recorded by NB-0218.


Unzulaja - The Slithering Dark

As Akkakuh created more and more, and his creations lived longer and long, he found that he had to rest. During this time the light of the star would fade from the sky and darkness would move across the face of JUNO. So as Onukuh moved with the light and guarded the world of the day, Akkakuh believed that a guardian of the night was also required.

But Akkakuh knew little of the night, for he was a being of light. So, he spent an hour contemplating the night as one of JUNO’s moons eclipsed him. From that meditation slithered Unzulaja. A serpent, with great black wings, and shining obsidian scales emerged in the shadow of the moon. Along its head and down its back, spines flexed and twitched with a thin layer of Kuh connecting the spines to its flesh. As it came into being, it turned it’s eyeless head about, tasting the air looking for the light of the day.

Akkakuh looked upon his new child and immediately loved it, for that was Akkakuh’s way. For long years the two would speak during when the moon that gave Unzulaja life was full. Unzulaja would regale Akkakuh with stories of the new life that was growing in the hours of night while Akkakuh was sleeping. In the light of that full moon Unzulaja would glow with purple light so that Akkakuh could find him.

But between the moments when they could speak, Unzulaja found the Uchafumlaji and in secret he nurtured their growth and encouraged their predatory nature. In time, as the Uchafumlaji learned to hunt some of the other sentient species of JUNO Akkakuh warned Unzulaja again and again to curtail the brutal nature of the Uchafumlaji, but Unzulaja with his great fangs and many rows of teeth, found that the night should always be full of danger and hunger.

Eventually night and day defined their relationship only with hate, but since Akkakuh had to sleep in his diminished state Unzulaja and Akkakuh stay apart in their perspective worlds.
