Arnav: "Tomorrow we both are gonna train you. You might not realize it now but Gabriel, the strength you have at the time of your awakening only, is more than all of the strength 4 ancients had, when they awakened, combined. And i hope you realize how much of a responsibility it is."

Cassius:" Please Gabriel, don't turn to the bad side. You are almost as strong as the youngest of the ancients, Xoroth. I believe you haven't met him in your travels of understanding the force?"

Gabriel: "Nope. But where does he live? Does he work a job like you do?"

Cassius and Arnav: "Oh. You didn't know?"

Cassius: "I believe you've left for Brasilia to meet the commander-in-chief of the south American continent?"

Gabriel: "Yep, what about him?" Gabriel face slowly turns to a shock as he remembers the commander saying they were similar in terms of strength. "Wait don't tell me. HE IS XOROTH HIMSELF?"

Arnav: "He is. I am sorry I couldn't introduce to him, but during our travels for your training, we didn't meet him since he was too busy with his own work."

Gabriel: "I am similar in strength to an ancient? A gosh darn ancient?!!"

Cassius:" that's right. And it's understandable, i heard u destroyed an entirety of shelter and an area of 20km radius when u awakened? You don't realize how strong you were when you awakened."

Arnav: "It almost makes me jealous" (Cassius turns to Arnav and gives him a doubtful look) "Come on, I'm still a human!"

Gabriel: "It won't change anything from the fact that i still have to work on my darkness even more right?"

Arnav: "Yep, you still are just at the weakest ancient's level, meaning, we still need to brush you up."

Gabriel:" Damn. Ok. I was tortured during my training with Thallus and Orionis and now I'm gonna be tortured while training under not ONE but TWO?! Why was i even given this power, well it is what it is i suppose."

Arnav:" Isn't that something we all are asking to ourselves?"

Cassius:" That's true, isn't that what we all are asking?"

Gabriel: "Well, I'll be damned, Look at the time, I suppose we all should go to sleep? Wait can you both even sleep?"

Arnav: "Of course i can, we can only extend the time we can stay awake without sleeping when we train our force's efficiency, we still have to get some sleep once in a while, y'know?"

Cassius: "Of course we do! I still remember Arnav sleeping for 3 days straight and me guarding his ass, after our fight, we had for fun. See, when force users are exhausted they DO need food, water and sleep, because they improve our body's condition and improve our control over our emotions."

Gabriel: "That's a lot of info dumping for one hour. I wanna just sleep because of being reminded of Orionis' training."

Cassius: "That guy sure doesn't hold back when it comes to teaching newbies, he went too hard on me as well."

Arnav: "Watching him treat Gabriel sort of made me laugh and made me pity him too"

Gabriel: "No wonder you were always smiling when he used to train me."

Arnav: "I mean can you blame me? You are like a child to me when i trained you and when i brought you to others to do the same."

Cassius: "I'm pretty sleepy, let's all go to sleep then? Arnav, I'm sure you've made the walls strong so that we aren't gonna be attacked randomly?"

Arnav: "Of course, idiot. I can't afford our guy getting hurt, even more so, when he's with 2 of the great 5."

Cassius: "Fair enough, retard."

Gabriel has a laugh seeing all of this and was asked why he's laughing, to which he said he found it amusing how two of the oldest beings are fighting like children. They all go to sleep after this, happy and delighted because of the simple fact that they were with their friends.

Gabriel was trained by Arnav after he was told that he'd evaluate his strength and determine his level. Arnav told him to focus and lift objects with different weight and evaluated his speed too, by throwing towards him stuff randomly and testing his reflex speed and trained him on how to use his force to run at high speeds and how to use the force in physical forms, from there he tested his biomechanical response to the force. Arnav also observed that Gabriel was so immersed in this training despite of the trauma of losing his family.

He could tell he's doing this because he wants to use this as a distraction from his trauma. He knew he'd slowly learn how to deal with it. Arnav slowly taught him the very basics of how to use the force to enhance his basic biomechanics features of using the force and pushing them further. Which meant Gabriel had to train it like any ordinary human. He had to run, lift weights, learn holding his breathe, learn how to sprint and slowly learn how to float a bit as well. Gabriel trained without knowing day and night for 4 months. At first, he was weak, he could only run 10 kilometers in 30 minutes, that was thanks to his being in the army too. He could barely lift up 200 kilograms too, after a month of guidance from Arnav himself, Gabriel could now lift a rock which weighed more than a metric ton and he could run 10 kilometers under 10 minutes.

Arnav was flabbergasted by this development, but remembered how much Gabriel trained, he barely slept and would only keep on meditating, excersing and lifting. His awakening was pretty strong too, Arnav now saw why his awakening was so strong, his adaptability was out of this world and his will to develop was unreal. After 2 months under Arnav's care, Gabriel could now control his "outbursts" where he randomly becomes very frustrated and his darkness goes out of control and Arnav had to interfere to stop him. Arnav took care of the man and guided him and wasn't ever frustrated by Gabriel. Arnav once explained what ancients Actually were.

One fine evening when Gabriel was eating his dinner with Arnav, usually. Arnav said "Say Gabriel, remember i mentioned you'll be trained by different ancients right? Ever had the doubt of what they actually are?"

Gabriel: "Yep, what actually are you guys?"

Arnav: "We basically are humans who are super old because of our force awakening. There are 9 ancients in total and the top 5 are called the "Great 5", i am one of them."

Gabriel: "makes sense, you're stupid old, gramps." (said Gabriel as he laughed)

Arnav:" OH COME ON! I'm not THAT old. Looks like i need to increase your meditation sessions."

Gabriel: "Fine, Arnav. I'm calm but it's funny, the way you react when i talk about your age."

Arnav: "You'd understand if you were as old as me too, kiddo."

Gabriel:" I suppose. By the way, do you guys like have a leader? I mean someone who controls all the ancients?"

Arnav:" Yep, the first human to awaken his force, used to lead us, but 4000 years ago he left after saying his responsibilities are fulfilled. From then, an ancient called Orionis took over. You'll be trained under him in your path of mastering the basics of the force."

Gabriel: "Well what are we waiting for then, let's get back to our training I can't wait to meet him!!"

Arnav: "I like enthusiasm kid, but let us first get on your lessons on basic floating."
