A day after he was last seen in the Red Dragon Inn Gabe would be found in the wild....Erh well somewhere in the wild

He was just running around in the woods. A animal the size of a house was chasing him.He stood there sweating. He leaped forward adn took the beast head on and snapped its neck,he stood there covered in his and the beasts blood. He made it back to his camp and bandaged up his arms and tried to get a good nights sleep.He laid there on the Cot for hours on end,he stared up into the stars and wondered when he would be able to leave all of this behind him and just live a normal human life.

The very next day he returned to the Red Dragon Inn and resupplied.He stocked up on Med kits and coffe.He came back and dropped the now restocked packby the cot.It took a full day and it was night fall by the time he came back so he just went right to sleep.

The next morning back to it he went.He started with A GOOD run from some wild beasts and a few GIANT snakes.He killed them all and was covered from neck to boot in blood,wild animal and his own once again.
He heads to the river and takes off his boots,his USMC T-shirt and dog tags and jumps in to wash the blood off him and then to wash his clothes.After several more hourse of doing nothing but Push Ups, Tree Branch Sit Ups and Pull Ups he took another swim to wash away the smell of sweat and to mask his scent. He was done with that and on to camp that night to sleep.He hadnt gotten a decent nights sleep in the time he has been away.He stared at the stars again and was soon out cold.

This continued for several more days till he packed up and moved higher up the mountain.He reached a good ledge and sat up camp. He set out a Video recorder to make his logs. He knew he needed o remember everything he said one way or another this seemed to be the easiest.

"Video Journal day...Nine or Ten...I have been out in the wild training and reflecting on all I have done....It hasnt been an easy road but I have chosen to travel it...If I can make it to my thrity day marker as planned....I will be the stronger for it...Maybe Physically..Maybe Mentaly I dont know for sure...but I must finish this...End Feed"

He closed the recorder and put it in his pack,he placed the pack under his cot and went off to do what he said he would do.He walked untill he came upon a group of hunting Mountain Lions. He grimmaced and started to fight back as they swarmed him. He snapped one of the Lions neck, toar one right off.He killed them and wiped the blood off his hands.He walked over to the river farther up the path he took a waise from the water fall. He took off his boots shirt and dog tags and started to wash the blood off. He inished and headed back to Camp to tend his wounds from the claws. That night he would lay on his cot and his arms would be bandaged all the way up to his shoulders,the fingers encluded....He lay there wishing the pain would just go away. He slowly fell asleep and didnt move.

The next Morning he woke up and cracked his neck as he always does.He walked over and built up and started a small fire,he got the pot and gear ready and made in a manner home ground coffee. He soon was out and was getting to training. He started lifting up rocks,staring average size, about the size of his head then worked his way up slowly to Boulder size.

This went on for several more days. He woke up and took out his Vidoe Recorder to log in his day and what was to come.

"This is Gabe Ashlocke Video Recording Day thirteen. I have trained hard and still have yet to fully find myself. But I have a feeling I will make a great stride towards my goal today...End Feed..."

He closed the recorder and started his day. By this time he had become stronger in both body and mind,he moved as fluid as Nature itself. His hair had grown out now but he still kept it spiky and tried to keep it short,he had grown a slight beared but it wasnt reslly much one. He went through the normal day routine and finaly that night he didnt have to tend to any wounds. He curled up on the cot and was out cold for the first time since he began this endevoure.

He was going to relax for a bit. He fashioned a fishing Rod and started to fish. By mid day he had enough fish for one meal and he then took his catch and back to camp he went. That night he cooked the fish and ate. Shortly after he went off to clean himself up and soon afterwards it was off to sleep with him.

The next morning again with the Vid Recorder.
" Day fourteen....I have been doing better than expected....No attacks on my life no recent wounds needing tending. So I will just keep on going then. End Feed"

He went one for a few more days training on his mind now. He spent a full day meditating. He went on working with his mind for several more days. mainly to strengthen his connection with Defender. Now it was speaking more clearly in his mind. He was starting to think he was going nuts at first but he soon realized it was an ancient language. He was slowly picking up how to speak it aswell.

In ancient human. "Gabe my name you know and how to call me you know but you do not know me....This is now become the time to teach you how to know me like I know you....."

Now he was going nuts but he didnt lose the mental state he had.he let Defender put him through the trials and build his mental abilities.

same language "Good Gabe....You are begining to see...soon enough you will have ful control over my power and you can really become one of us...." Defender took on a human ish form in Gabes mind. He didnt understand why but it was ok for him. He was soon starting to be able to use some of the same powers as Defender but he couldnt use all of them. His greatest Test was to fight a Shadow copy of himself. After several grueling and verry painfull hours he defeated his clone.
"Gabriel Ashlocke.....You have past all of the tests set before you but there are still many more yet to come to light...All the tests you have pasted have been to ready you for your future.....If you live and succeed in your mission...I will grant you full assension..."

That made Gabe move slightly. The thought of HIm becoming what he was partly from birth made him happy actually.... To think he would actually become what he saught to become.... He may Actually become a full Angel....He wanted nothing of his father in him....but he had to live with that fact.

He would return to town on accassion to remember whathe would be returning to and why he left to get stronger.

" Day Nineteen.....I have felt great increases in my power and mental abilities...I will keep up the training...."

He closed the recorder and started.He packed up and moved to a new sight.He moved to a ledge farther up the mountain.He set up camp again and started to coloect fire wood.He tok another day to relax and he went swiming and fishing.At the end of the day he came back to camp with a string of fish and he started the fire. After cooking and eating the fish he laid on his cot and was soon fast asleep.

The next morning started like all the others.A fire and a pot of coffee and lifting giant rocks for a day.He lifted about exactly his weight then lifting his weight and half extra than to ttwice his weight. Now he was looking like a machine. His body became very muscular and not easy to scratch.

The morning of the 21rst day he woke up o mountain lions and panthers attacking his camp. He quickly dispatched the Lions but the panthers took some time. He ripped one in half but on jumped up and bit down hard on his shoulder,he ripped the head off of that panther and gripped his shoulder, it was bleeding really bad. He quickly killed the last of them and started to wrap up his shoulder. He was running low on the Med Kits he had ordered.He had nine left. He rested up that day and just sat at the camp and read his book he brought but left in his pack.That night he didnt rest all to well but he slept none-the-less.

He woke up the next morning and started working on his mental abilities once more. This time he was able to contact his old blade Zangetsu and both Zangetsu and Defender began to work with him on his mental powers and Spiritual Energy.He spent two days in that meditative state and it hadnt registered in his head till later on the 23rd night that he had been like that.

On the final week he noticed something wasnt quite right.He left the mountain to find he had only been gone a few days. Had he gone through a time shift and it slowed time down to make the few days seem like a month? He didnt know or care, he had completed what he needed to do.He seem to have changed greatl....He had now a pair of cross scars on his face....he went through something he didnt and wasnt going to tell anyone.
