I cannot say how much dimmer this world will be without him, but I do know that this world, like Remnant, will have its' dark times, its' time of shadows. It is our duty, as the people of both worlds, to push through the shadows, and to find the light. To create the light if need be. I am not saying that he was not important, far from it, I am saying that he would not want us to grieve for his death, but to remember him as he lived. I am saying that from now on, Black Rose, Shattered Bonds, and whatever new stories I create and post, will be dedicated to him. I don't think I can match his imagination, and I definitely cannot match his enthusiasm, but I can only hope to make an impact on the worlds that I am a part of. I hope that wherever he is, he is happy, and that he has his friends with him. I can only hope that if I pass, I can follow him beyond. I know this is not as grand as some other remembrances, but I hope this gets my point across. I will miss him, and I will remember.
In memory of Monty Oum, who created RWBY, RvB, and more, who touched the lives of all of us, even if we didn't know it. "Ave atque vale"
