[Spirit Animals are the animals connected to your soul. They are directly connected to your essence and may sometimes change along with your nature. For example, if a loyal friend has the spirit animal of a golden retriever. But that friend is betrayed by everyone, he might choose to be alone for the rest of his life and therefore, his essence would change to a solitary person. And his spirit animal will change to become a bear or another solitary animal. There are also cases of spirit animals being the summoner's favourite animal, though. Everyone does have the same spirit animals, the only difference is their form. Spirit animals can change their form to mach their owner's essence and in the mentioned special cases, they will change to become their owners favourite animal.
However, people still judge others based on spirit animals.
If you wish to summon a spirit animal, then a simple chant is needed. Along with a drop of your blood, your name and a piece of your soul.
First, draw a circle with a star inside. Similar to Earth's previous demon summoning superstitions, this can be drawn with anything but usually mana is used.
Then, write this along the outside of the circle, '£*$^±>|}:*£$%@)(`~@&%!§±<|:;$^', If it does not fit around the circle, then repeat this phrase continuously till it fills the whole circle.
After that, proceed to use your own blood to draw around the inside of the circle. Wherever your instincts take you. If you want to think about it, think. If you want to make it look nice, do that. Do whatever you feel like. However, do not fill the middle of the circle or star.
Then, infuse the energy you use within the circle and drawings within. But most of the energy is needed to be placed on the runes.
After you infuse your energy, you need to feel your soul and break apart 1 tenth of it. Move that soul onto your hand and place it in the middle of the star within the circle. That place should shine with a light.
If that light shines, wait for exactly 5 seconds before chanting this phrase in whichever language you wish.
[Oh lord of this world, Oh lord of the spirit realm]
[I pray for Your benevolence and power]
[I pray for Your support and help]
[You are the most powerful existence]
[You are the only one who can help me]
[Please send me a spirit matching my essence and strength]
[You are the only one who can help me]
[You are the most powerful existence]
[I pray for Your support and help]
[I pray for Your benevolence and power]
[Oh lord of the spirit realm, Oh lord of this world]
Then, the circle should light up and your spirit animal will appear.]
"Hey, Eris."
"I'm listening"
"Is this true?" I pointed towards the chant and asked about it.
"Nope." She spoke bluntly with a straight face, shaking Her head slightly to my question.
"Then why is it the chant?" I tilted my head as I stared at Her.
"Cause the role is to suck up to them so you can gain their help in finding your spirit animal." She shrugged Her shoulders as if to say something like it's not my problem and I don't care.
"So does that mean You are still the most powerful existence?"
"Yep!" She smiled and talked in a voice slightly louder than usual.
"So can I pray to you instead?" I smiled back as I asked this question, it would be way better if I could just pray to Eris.
"Nope! Although they aren't the most powerful, they are the best ones who can help. I would be of less help since the spirit world isn't my domain." She explained in so much detail that I couldn't refute anything, sadly enough.
"Ah... Then can you help me with this?" I kept pointing to the chant yet I asked differently, somehow.
"You mean threatening those old geezers into helping without you saying the chant?"
"Yep."
"Hmm... I guess I could" Her face lit up with a mischievous smirk.
Oh, Oh, can I join? I've hated those old things since before I was born! Cosmos yelled into my ears, I didn't mention the fact that He wouldn't even know them before He was born.
"So... How do we do this?" I asked, we do need to formulate a plan before we start things.
"Well, technically, all I'd have to do is stand by you whilst you chant and they'd be terrified. However, you probably don't want to even say a word of that so I might have to go over to them and threaten them directly!" She said this with a smile on Her face like She was enjoying imagining their reactions or She was having fun just making the plan. Or maybe both...
"Then can I watch?" I asked.
"Yep, here, I'll give this to you and you should be able to watch everything that happens" She gave me a clear crystal ball which emitted the power of Cosmos. "All you have to do is insert your energy in this along with me and you'll be able to see what is happening around me! Sadly you won't be able to hear anything though..."
I did as instructed and then a view of the 2 of us appeared in there, it was like a bird's view.
The both of us were sitting down by the library table, looking at a crystal ball. Well, the crystal ball.
I wonder if it'd be an endless kind of view if I could zoom in on the crystal ball... I'd just see myself looking at the ball over and over again.
"Then, when will you go?" I asked.
"Probably... Now." She got up and began to disappear. Like, She faded into a formless fog and just left. But, I could see her moving through the ball. So I just watched Her as She moved through... Somewhere?
It was just darkness except for the occasional flashing light and colours.
Then, soon enough, everything stopped and the scenery (if you could call it that) changed to clouds. I analysed the flow of mana through the crystal ball as I waited for her arrival.
But it was basically the blue sky and clouds. I also watched her surroundings.
Eris walked for a while until she stopped and looked up. The point of view changed to look up to an old man. Like, he had a really long white beard and barely any hair on his head. But contrary to his appearance, he looked like he had just seen his worst nightmare. His face was contorted, eyebrows furrowed his barely visible lips reaching all the way downward.
I couldn't hear anything but as Eris' lips moved, both expressions were enhanced. Eris' amicable smile shone even more whilst the old man's face had even more wrinkles appearing over it. And after a few minutes, he was visibly nodding his head, so much so that you would think he had some kind of disease.
Then, Eris left and the 'scenery' changed to a place that had all types of elements. You name it, acid, water, fire, lightning, light, darkness and so on. The same process was repeated, but this guy looked more calm. Still, he also nodded violently at the end and then Eris appeared back here.
"Did you have fun?" I asked, it was funny to see their reactions but it wasn't as fun since I couldn't hear anything. All I knew was that those 2 looked like students getting told off by their teacher.
