Snippet #1530396

In the dungeons of the village where dirt seeped in, the guards had gathered themselves around one cell, the only cell that was every filled in the town. Each guard talked to each other, wandering if they should let the man go ultimately silencing themselves as he started to wake up.
"Oh, gods, where am I? What happened?" Ira had said, scratching the back of his head and rushing a hand through his hair as he stood up from the dirt floor.
"You're in the dungeons, sir. You tried to leave town so you can kill the dragon." One of the guard said, voice somewhat trembling since Ira is the only person of his village that can use magic.

"But why did yo-" but the summoner got interrupted by the spirits, who all spoke at the first time.
These men knocked you out.
Of course they did! They're scared!
Scared of defending themselves?
Stop this incessent fighting, you fools.
What in the name of the God's are you going to do old man?
Silence!

The chatter stopping at that point where only low murmuring could be heard.
"I can't always help this village whenever another raid occurs. I can't always advise on decisions that don't need advising, as if my word matters. Men still went to slay INNOCENT Leigend men and woman!" He shouted the last part to the top of his voice to the guards of the town that had gathered in the dungeons, shocked by the display of anger. Ira never raised his voice against a human being except for that brief prologue of his life when he had first become a summoner.
"Now release me."
"Deepest condolences but we canno-"
"Release me." Ira said, growing impatient and angry inside the confined space of a cell.
"No."
"Then I'll use force."
"That's why we are here." The head guard had said, signalling for the men behind them gripped their sword and let the cold metal pierce the air in anticipation for the battle.

Ira had no choice for he gripped the book that he hid in his side pocket of his robes and opened it to where the names of souls were, halfway through the page. He raised left hand to his forehead where the markings of his magic where, with two fingers imbued with a mix of green light, tracing over a pentagram inside circle in front of him, that suspended in the air.
" I summon thee, Beast of the spirit world: Ganasray!"
The panther jumped out of the symbol, and landed on his four feet staring at Ira with it's yellow eyes and curved sharp claws. It's fur was that of pitch darkness and four powerful teeth jutted out of it's mouth, two on each end of his mouth, one going upwards the beast's face and another going downwards.

Such a spell drained a lot of energy from Ira who only had enough energy to still be standing. Despite this he knew how to talk to the beast.
"Gansaray, without your assistance my life will surely be gone." He said quietly to the beast, who nodded his head and turned to the guards and roared it's primal roar as it gripped on the metal bars of the cells with the monstrous teeth and teared it to shreds. All of the guards who hadn't ran away as the beast was summoned, did so as it was destroying the cell.
"Don't chase them, please." Ira had said with a cough of weakness before getting on the creature's back, an action Gansaray was obviously not used to this as his muscles crinched.
"I need you to get me out of here, Please, help me."

---------------------------------

"Dear gods! Stop stop, stop, stop!" Ira cried as his hands gripped the fur of the panther in a desperate attempt to hold on as Gansaray sped trhough the forest.
The beast knew it had little time left before it had to go back in the spirit realm, so it searched frantically for a town, tribe or anyone of sorts to drop off his master rushing ahead with it's impressive speed. Lest the panther's prayers were answered as it had found a group of four walking along on a winding path, which one of them seemed to already notice his prescence.

Gansaray rushed from the dense forest into the path, dodging arrows that had been shot at him until he suddenly stopped in front of them, blocking their path as he reilized they were Dragonborns. Ira has passed out as an arrow was lodged in his back, the beast shot the group a glare as his summoner, Ira had dropped on the ground with his side. unconscious as he lay on the earth.

There wasn't enough time to fight, the pentagram in the circle had appeared by the beast's side and transformed into a blue portal. Gansaray looked at the group again, letting out a primal roar that shook the leaves and sounded throughout the forest. After one last stare at their leader, an older, female dragonborn, he jumped back in the spiritworld realm where it closed off and let the bleeding summoner off with the group, the beast for one of the first times in his afterlife and life combined, hoped he had done the right thing.
