anti-baku of the "no" standard

by the bright neon reflection and golden tassels, it advertises itself at the door to the commoner. The golden, glorious high limit.
To approach such a beast, however is taboo. his flat, long face, looking only towards the limiting light it offers. Those who approach too close to it's lantern get its loose-leaf jagged teeth, each marked with a symbol to say "order of the wall", printed in a language even the most brilliant may not understands.
Its eyes carry pupils like rings, limiting its view away from the appreciation of the ones who demonstrate extraordinary ability despite difficulty and misunderstanding.

The anti-baku blocks the door to a foundation of achievement. Many will come across the steps to this door and gaze upon this devourer of dreams, and this dictating conceptual being.
The lucky will have the ability to stay out of its sight, face the anti-baku head on, or catch it off guard.
Too many however will run in fear at its scriptured jaws, and some will try just to fall before this monster.
The choice is up to the individual.
