I dab. It's something I do.
I don't believe it defines me or who I am, but if it's what people remember me by, then I will not be ashamed.
Any action I have taken that inspires & motivates others is a good reason to exist, and that's all that matters to me.
Hi, I'm Reggie Fils-Aimé, long-term resident of Starclan.
For centuries, I have been watching over cats from every clan as a guardian and protector. I ensure that there is order in their daily lives, and exist to serve reminders that no matter how hurt they may be, they will never be alone, if they would just look up to the stars. I am the father, and they are my children, every single one - no matter how flawed. The murderer, the tortured soul of a cat who has brought never-ending harm to others is as much of a child to me as the newborn kitten, innocent, curious, with no understanding of the horrors that exist in the world it was just born into.
I believe in forgiveness, and no one, nobody at all, is above that. There is always a path to redemption, no matter who you are. Though I am only still just beginning to understand who I am and why I was put here - I believe that is my purpose. To forgive. To cherish. To show those with darkness in their hearts that the light is always reachable. To love each and every one of my children.
For the longest time, my purpose and actions have remained the same. I have consoled cats who need me, helped those in pain, and guided young souls away from the grasp of evil. But recently, I feel like something has changed, and not even I can make sense of it at this moment in time. I am not afraid, only merely concerned, for I know that whatever happens, my shining light and inspiration will live on in the hearts of my children.
The change began slowly. I continued to love and support each of my children, no matter their differences, but one by one, the cats I cherished began straying further from my light. It seemed as if they were voluntarily walking into the darkness, aware of the comfort I could bring them, but refusing it, for reasons I do not yet know. More cats became corrupt and twisted, with no one to love them. I asked myself every day since it began; why is this happening? Why have my children given up hope?
Did they no longer believe that they could be forgiven?
That they were undeserving of my compassion?
Were they shunned by the influence of an even darker soul?
Was it the pain that made them give up hope?
Or could it be... that my people are beginning to cease believing in Starclan?
