While Rivi and I were ice bathing and going out of town for a picnic, Rufi was left all alone in the house the Grenir had assigned for us. Normally on a day like this, Rufi would have just spent all day lazing about, content with a little bit of sun, and whatever food her caretakers left for her, but today wasn't that day.
Ever since she met me and started going on adventures with me and fighting monsters with me, she'd reignited a spark that she had thought had long since died out. In her youth she had been quite the fierce beast, diligent in training and savage in fights. For years she had dominated her generation of Shadow Chimeras in trial after trial, even helping to reaffirm the prestigious place the Shadow Chimera clan held in the Beast world through various tournaments and contests, but that all ended the day she was chosen to be the next divine companion for the Goddess.
