While they were not yet entirely certain of the rewards bestowed by the Dragon Emperor upon his beast companions following the Anima Stele trial, they had already confirmed at least two.
The first—and most immediately apparent—benefit was the balancing of the beast companions' elemental affinities alongside the refinement of their bloodlines.
Fen experienced a harmonisation of his Ice, Fire, and Nature affinities, which ultimately gave rise to his distinctive ashen fur.
