Destiny Is A Gift (Reader Insert)

The Squeak of Might

"So, the whole reason why you wanted me to let you two have access to the school's roof is because you're gonna summon this 'spirt beast companion' of yours, and you were given these instructions to do so by an old guy named 'Twinkle-Sticks', who is also from where Fangbone came from?" I asked, feeling confused as I stood with them on the roof, to which they laid out some things, making it look like a cult meeting is about to commence.

"Pretty much, yeah." Bill confirmed. "To me, it sounds like you got this off of an old, homeless guy who was high on crack." I deadpanned. "We didn't though, trust us." He stated, putting a hand to his chest. "...Fine, fine. But, if this all a big waste of time-" "It won't, it won't! I can promise you that!" Bill said, sounding over-excited about this.

"Bill; son of Mom of Bill, battle brother of Fangbone, youngest sibling of Y/n, protector of the toe-" "I'm sorry, what?" "-spiky thorn in Drool's side, are you prepared for-" "Sure, I am, let's go!" Bill said, interrupting the barbarian.

The inside of the makeshift pillars suddenly had fire appear in them, making me have flashbacks when me, Jim, and Toby, went to the Hero's Forge for the first time. '...This is fine' I thought to myself. I then see Fangbone put something on Bill's face, mainly going down in a line from the top of his forehead, over his eyes, all the way down to his chin, twice. "Mm... Peanut butter & jam, nice!" He said.

"Now, Bill, read the words!" Fangbone instructed as the wind's breeze started getting harsh. "Hear me, spirit beast, show yourself and be my companion, be my companion forever!" Bill recited, with his arms in the air as the sky turned red. "Is this another way to start the Eternal Night or something?" I muttered to myself as I reached into my pocket, holding onto the amulet, feeling uneasy about this. Clouds started circling above us before lightning struck, and it was all gone in an instant.

We looked around but didn't see it, that was until we looked down and I saw the cutest little thing ever! It looks like a combination of a weasel, an otter, and a mouse, with snow white fur and the cutest boba eyes. "What's... that?" Bill hesitantly asked. "That-" "Is the cutest thing ever!" I squealed as I ran over, picked it up and held it like a baby and gave it belly rubs, and it let out cute squeaks and chirps. "As I was saying," Fangbone said as he stood next to Bill, "that... is your spirit beast companion. A Squee-Claw! The keeper of beasts has truly smiled upon you!" Fangbone informed. "You're kidding, right?" Bill rhetorically asked with an are you serious expression.

"The Squee-Claw is a might companion, Bill." Fangbone said as the Squee-Claw suddenly disappeared out of my arms, making me look around in confusion before I saw that it was on Bill's back, peering over his shoulder. "And he likes you!" Fangbone cooed.

"But I wanted a Blood-hawk! Or... an Octo-fist! O-or a three-horned battle ape! Not this Squeak Weasel!" Bill said to which Fangbone ran over to him and covered the Squee-Claw's ears. "Bill, please! The Squee-Claw has feelings." He stated. "He did not mean it, your legendist." Fangbone said when he took his hands off of the Squee-Claw. In response, the spirit beast gave the cutest sneeze I've ever heard. "No. Nu-uh. Forget it." Bill said. "Bill, the Squee-Claw chose you for a reason!" Fangbone said.

Meanwhile, I walked back down to stairs and back into the classroom.

(Time-skip to the next day)

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, shit, bitch, fuck me in the ass, fucking shit, god dammit!" I scolded myself for sleeping through my alarm, trying to hurry to the school on bike.

I busted through the doors, ran through the halls until I made it to the classroom. "Sorry I'm late, Ms. Gillian. Slept... through my... alarm!" I wheezed, trying to catch my breath. "It's fine as long as you make it to work." She said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Can you watch the kids while I find textbooks about... leaves." She said, the last part filled with boredom before she walked out.
