What Are Guardian Beast

To be exact, Guardian beasts are beings on a completely different plane of existence. No one knows where they come from and it is highly likely that they have existed since the beginning of time itself. Guardian beasts come in many forms and sizes. There are dragons, hydras, snakes, goddess’s and Gods and much more. The common misconception that people new to this race of divine beings tend to assume is that they are actual beasts. In some cases, that is true. But as a whole, a guardian beast can be any spirit one can think of. They are powerful spirits born from the legends of men, warriors whose name and legends were engraved in the furthest reaches of time. There are many beasts that exist around the land, ranging from baby animals to large beasts. Guardian beasts are not only born through legends, but simply make their way into existence by the will of the gods. The most prominent of ways a beast is born is through summoning. Normally, a guardian beast summoning is solely depend on the energy, resources, and materials of the summoner. The Legend of an individual gives form to the powers, personality, and entire make-up of the guardian beast as a whole. Thus, if a guardian beast was something akin to a powerfully-endowed Greek or Roman god, they would ultimately possess similar powers and tools they possessed during the pinnacle of their lives. Chariots, shields, and swords are but a few of the things one would find legendary spirits possessing from their former life. Therefore, the greater the legend, the greater the power. However, there is a stipulation to summoning guardian beasts. Some legends are too great, too powerful, to bring to life. There exist truly powerful beings that if anyone attempted to summon them, they would ultimately have to sacrifice many lives to give birth to the beast. Summoning’s require blood sacrifice, copious amounts of spiritual energy, and a material that the legendary person was closest too during their life. Sheaths, helmets, and many other things come to mind. The summoner must acquire all of this before summoning even becomes a reality. And when it comes to truly powerful beings that are not even on the level of legend, but something much greater, it is almost nigh-impossible to summon them. For example, someone like Tsubine, with the right materials, would be able to be summoned without a high rate of failure. For someone like Touketsu, however, there would be so many prerequisites to summon the omnipotent being that it would be completely impossible to bring him back into existence. When a summoner brings a guardian beast into existence, they form a contract with the warriors and become their masters. On their hand, are three command seals, markings that signify their control over their partners. It is possible to acquire more depending on the level of the user, but ultimately, for the normal summoner, three is the common limit. Contracts with Sugiura usually result in the beast fusing with their weapon or becoming one with their guardian beast, in certain cases. In the end, it is these main factors that make up what Guardian beasts truly are; extremely powerful divine beings. Guardian beasts are born through the dreams of humans and other's, which culminates in their legend. Once birth is given to legend, a guardian beast is born.
