Ok..now I feel uber stoopid. I thought I could just buy all three slots for my party but have only two..can't get another slot.

So...after all that of getting a new beastie I still am restricted to two, at what point can I get three in my party?

You can get your third party member when you reach the Sanctuary of Saerielle in Umbra Forest (the second zone). I'm pretty sure that it can be purchased for 25,000 gold.

Wow! Talk about steep.
Ok..thanks. I feel stupid because I was needing another beast for a third party member and someone gave me one and now I discover I have to wait.

So now I need to find a way to beat Ceranth with just two beasts. It'll be hard so I need to find better stuff for my creatures.

Just a heads up, you might find this useful if you have time to read it. :)

Yup. I read it and now I know what to do. I am going to have to work on Ookami's strength and health stats so it can have a chance at beating Ceranth before getting killed.

I have to make sure I also have a few revival draughts on hand too cause Ceranth let me have it once its hit points gets to a certain level. Of course I could have both pets use "Finishing Blow" Ceranth too. (Duh! I should've done this earlier)
