A guardian spirit is a supernatural being that is said to protect or guide a person, place, or thing.
You've been plagued for a year by the nightmares.
Various nightmares actually. There was no specific patterns to them or a running theme. They were just nightmares. It started last year mid summer. It was a regular day, nothing out of place, until you got to bed and decided to sleep.
That's when you had the first nightmare of you going swimming and getting attacked by a shark. You screamed so loudly that your neighbors has broken down your doors and shaken your screaming form awake to see what was wrong. You were ok. No water or shark in sight, but you didn't get much sleep that night.
The sane thing repeated the next night. This time you were tumbling through the sky. And then the next night. A bear chased you through the woods. And the next. A giant sinkhole swallowed your house whole. And then the next night-
You got the picture.
However that wasn't the most terrifying thing about it.
It was the your savior that you saw every time before the moment you woke up.
It was a man...at least that's what you thought at first. Dreamland You was too busy trying to climb trees to get away from bandits chasing you demanding money before they were chased off by a giant shouting man or diving into a pond to escape a swarm of hornets buzzing after you before a giant gust of wind blew them away. But since the first nightmare you've always saw a glimpse of a man the background. You always brushed it off though. If was a couple of weird nightmares. And dreams never made sense. So a random man suddenly showing to save you up on a cloud as you grabbing your hand as you screamed for help falling through the sky, or pulling you up on a rock as you clung onto the cliff side for dear life meant nothing.
Not until you had a good look at the man's face.
It was the nightmare that you were being chased by a bear. You were just walking along a field when you suddenly looked behind you, and froze as the looming shadow of a large grizzly bear rose up above you. The thing was covered in blood staining it's brown fur a rust color, as it's long fangs drooled with rabies. Claws flexed out as it growled before roaring at you.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
Your scream echoed throughout the dreamscape as you snapped around and RAN as fast as you could. Adrenaline making your heart pumping when you inevitably heard the loud thuds of the bear dropping onto all fours and then charging after you. You didn't dare look back too terrified of the beast behind you. You knew this was a nightmare and the thing behind you wasn't real- But you weren't going to just wake yourself up by letting it EAT you! So you ran. You just had to make it until you eventually woke up like always. You'd climb up a tree or hide in the water again-
A screech left your lungs as your foot tripped over a rock and down you went. Painfully slamming your face into the ground before you continued to roll down the hill head over heels, until you painfully crashed into a rocky patch of ground at the bottom face to the sky. With a pained groan you opened your eyes.
