Theo chose to keep the paralyzed pup alive, which was the opposite of what everyone wanted.
Kaelor told him to end the beast's suffering, and the others supported that view.
But they didn't know about Theo's ability to evolve beasts.
'I will try to help this pup evolve… yes, I want to do that,' Theo made a silent resolve.
Over the next two days, they continued eastward. Even though Garrick insisted that even at long distances he had sensed nothing ahead, Theo told him to keep searching as usual.
Soon everyone started doubting Theo. Some even wonder if they were heading in the wrong direction.
Then, at the end of the second day, Garrick suddenly froze, his eyes widening.
"This… I found it."
He spoke while they were eating, making everyone stop and stare at him.
That night, the entire camp erupted into an uproar. Kaelor went over and ruffled Garrick's hair, and for the first time Theo saw a genuine, relaxed smile on the guy's face.
