Gaufrid and Saurtem never spoke but they felt a connection to each other.
Their stories were similar.
Pushed by Ancestor who insisted that telling history could help ease pain, Gaufrid told his story to his 2 new companions as Ancestor also told Saurtem's story which made these 2 beasts resonate with each other.
They never spoke once to each other but they felt closer than before.
Somehow, staying around Ancestor eased their pain.
This old Mandrill's cheerful smile despite their terrible situation and fate brought some much-needed light into their lives that was plunged into darkness.
It was already night in the Beast Arena.
By now, Gaufrid felt better than he ever did the whole day after he lost his family. He also learned that Ancestor was the one who healed him.
According to Ancestor, he was a Grade D beast with a water affinity that was oriented towards healing. The beast tamer didn't know.
