Some time had passed since Gabriel returned from his training. In the meantime, all the preparations for the Wars were completed by the rebel gods.
Gabriel was sitting in the Protected Room, where the strange fishes and the mysterious pond was. He didn't know why, but this was the place where he felt most at peace.
For hours, he watched the fishes. And there was never a single time where a fish repeated the same movement. Every time, there was a change, no matter how minute.
Gabriel had gone to the old man a few times to ask him if he found out anything from the Ancient Library, about the fishes.
Since Gabriel was more interested in the fishes, he forgot that he had also asked the man to find out about his past.
As Gabriel forgot about this, he didn't ask. And the old man didn't answer either. And when it came to the fishes, the old man genuinely didn't know anything at all.
