After Micha�l�s inhabitance of Zebediah, he continued to plague us. He affected our everyday lives. He would put evil into our thoughts. He proved to be an excellent Psychic.
I had used my bite of light technique to force him out of Zebediah. I knew I had to face him, but I had never fought anyone with this kind of power except Manweildedon, and we remember how that turned out. I would find a way though.
By this time I had given up on Christianity. It was obviously leaving out an important bit of information.
I went back to school senior year and saw an old friend of mine. His name was Germain. He had moved away when I started learning about these things. Back when I was randomly being attacked by vampires.
He was a great guy with marvelous strength. We thought he might be the giant the legend talked about. He began training with us, with Zebediah unable to fight, and with Manweildedon and Micha�l popping up; I needed all the help I could get.
Things seemed pretty grim. But that was always when I was at my best.
Germain�s brute strength was impressive. He pulled five hundred seventy pounds on a squat machine. And he held his ground against Alexander and I. He made me realize the possibility of him being one of us existed. I was still edgy about taking him into battle, especially against the likes of Micha�l.
I knew Micha�l was getting stronger. Also he could listen in on our conversations with his psychic abilities. So we had no secrets.
We trained hard. Finally one night I was meditating and the deities came to me. They told me I had to defeat Micha�l. They spoke as if I didn�t already know. But what they told me next was a surprise. They told me that I had to defeat him as a human, not as the DarkWolf. Then they stripped me of my powers.
Later that day I was training when I realized how dependent I had been on my powers. My skill was great but not great enough to defeat Micha�l. This was the battle of my life and there was no turning back. I was no longer the Darkwolf, I would fight as James!
