Familiar Spirit Animal Novels & Stories

Thaelen sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes on the window, watching the twisting patterns of the host of sparrows against the sky, whilst Meguitte checked over Gera. She came around the bed and sank to her knees before him, putting her hands over his and looking up, her large eyes luminous with empathy. “They say that sparrows escort the spirits of the death into the afterlife,” she said quietly. “I have spent the last few days wondering if that was why I was given them as my familiar, because they knew that this illness would befall our people.

They barely had a face and couldn’t speak and no brain power but that would suffice. She could do other things too. She had two spirit animals. A peacock and the new addition a butterfly, but not just the regular ones that could tear of paper. They were made of steel and they could cut. They were unlimited in number and looking closer they had summoning seals on them. She could get anything from them. Her creatures and weapons. Training with their numbers they could form a cloud of sorts, a huge cloud, really massive. And with that she was set. She heard the Savan war music from where she had taken up residence.

I was elated though, and I didn’t really care about the outfit. I had two spirit animals, and I couldn’t believe this. It was weird in my human form because I could feel them inside of me. They were co-existing in my mind and if I really thought about it, could even see them. They were both so beautiful and breathtaking. It was like day and night with one being pure white and the other being completely black. But they both had bright purple eyes and I wasn’t sure what that meant. But they were mine and they were perfect.

His furr look matted and lost its shine. Tears fill Tessa's eyes and she pull Landon and Jarek down with her. She rest her head against his. "Oh Onyx, my dear boy." It is then thatbshe realise she can't feel Luna or Aurora. "Jarek, can you feel Kane?" she asks and Jarek shake his head. "You won't feel them here" A soft voice Tessa recognize says behind them and they all turn around. "Why?" Tessa asks "In the spirit realm our animals are able to roam around at free will. They are not bound by their human's bodies" she says and at that moment they hear a howl of a wolf in trouble.

Aisla whispers when he’s completely out of sight. “The Moon Goddess connects with all creatures of the forest,” Silanya explains. “She chose the wolf as the spirit animal of our people because of their connection to the moon, but others have similar souls.” “That’s incredible,” the queen says. “We should get moving,” I suggest. Everyone rises, and we continue our journey up the mountain toward the seal. Lyra holds back, walking next to the High Priestess. I don’t doubt she has questions, and Silanya is a good choice for those answers.

One of them caught his attention. Familiars. On the page was a picture of a cat, with white and black fur and bright green eyes. "Quite familiar indeed," Matthew mused, turning the page to read more about these creatures. "Familiars are spirit companions who assist witches in their magical practices. Many of them are in cat form, though advanced witches may choose to put their familiars in different forms." Matthew skimmed over the description, slightly uninterested, but two sentences at the very end caught his eye:

NIRVANA “Be serious, Nirvana,” the female wolf spirit just said my name. “Wait. How do you know me?” I felt goosebumps erupt all over my body. “You died by a dark magic and brought back to life by magic. Your soul has been saved. You are pure and chosen to have an animal spirit to protect you, guide you, and help you protect the people you care about from the evil that walks on earth, but you must never abuse it.”

If they were in Halden… I try to imagine why the bodies must have looked like, and immediately wish I hadn't tried. I've seen a picture of a wolfen's victim in one of the books from the library. And I have seen pictures of themselves. Humans can channel certain animal spirits like hares, moose and deer which is the king's genn. Occasionally, someone would channel something odious like a snake or a panther. Ultimately, it makes the person unstable and difficult to fathom or control, much like their genns.

With the fruits as their snack for that night, he continues. “Well, there are different kinds of familiars used by the ability users and most particularly mages and witches to aid their quest and mission every day. They can be a spirit, being with supernatural abilities, but the most common ones are demons who take a form of an animal, and sometimes where their mana is strong enough and they reach the top of their enlightenment, they even take a human form.” Amaze by his words as the eyes of their child somewhat sparkles from the words and information that she just listens to and knew now. She is now in a deep wonder about the demons and their forms as she asks.

I could say I’d left something in my truck, and hope that nobody had noticed the direction I’d run in. Or, I could continue down this grubby, dirt path, and sit on the damp grass in the hopes of conjuring my familiar. She would come, I had no doubt about that – but how much help she would actually be was where I kept floundering. All Light Vampires had familiars. So did Dark Vampires, too, according to Ezrand, but they were… different. Ours offered guidance, and they took the form of the animal that aligned closest with our souls – or what was left of them. They weren’t fully corporeal, and often appeared to shimmer between our world and theirs, their silver outlines flickering between reali
