So...In this chapter I address the fact that a lot of these new Mutant Characters for Leonardo's school are actually former Humanimals reincarnated into Mutant Animal bodies...Was worried about how this would go over but I remembered that my closest friend is a fan of Avatar and is cool with me talking about reincarnation in the Chanchalla stories so here in this chapter I address Humanimals being magical creatures created for a specific purpose are not subject to the same rules as human beings you could draw parallels with the Elves in Lord of the Rings who actually have 'Serial Longevity' as Tolkien described but really my inspiration is the Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical Cats only here applied to all animals not just cats
A few days ago as Great Tiger had been proceeding with teaching Isis magic as he had taken the Black Cat Mutant as his protegee as he had sensed great magical talent within her...At that moment both man and mutant had been meditating while floating mid-air! When suddenly something broke Great Tiger's concentration and his eyes snapped open causing both of them to stop floating and come crashing down on the floor!
"I'm sorry Isis!' Great Tiger said "I can't concentrate anymore! I realize the whole system I draw my magic from...I...I no longer have faith in! I am no longer fit to be your guru because I no longer know where the magic comes from!"
"Great…" Isis began to say but Great Tiger kept going on with his lament
"I tried to ignore it when I was shown the vision of your Humanimals souls but my whole worldview was shocked by the fact reincarnation is not only not...Automatic...But seems to need to be specifically requested! If my understanding of the Great Cycle is wrong then where is my magic coming from?!"
"Sumit!' Isis said using his real name that he had told her, very few of the Boxers in the WVBA ever used Great Tiger's real name…
Isis walked over to Great Tiger and gently put her furry hands on his shoulders
"Even if your religion doesn't have all the answers it still has genuine wisdom! I used what you taught me to help understand my past self so I could come closer to understanding the truth myself!"
So the Indian Boxer and Mutant Cat sat back down on velvety cushions so Isis could tell Great Tiger what she learned over the winter
"After you showed me the vision of me and the other former Humanimal souls requesting reincarnation from the Spirit Judge, I used what you had taught me about meditation to try to go back in time in my mind to try to find out where things went wrong...I mean I know what our crimes were the Spirit Judge said we mostly a bunch of gossipy bullying housewives who bullied many other Humanimals out of following their dreams, but...Why was that so ruinous to our souls? But reaching back in time through the genetic memories of my ancestors till I reached the first cat in my linage to become a Humanimal and what I learned was Marzipan was right, the rules are different for Humanimals because we are magical creatures, specifically we're supposed to be magical helpers, mostly to humans but to other 'Natural Born' races as well. We're supposed to spread happiness and cheerfulness and remind people of the beauty of the world! And when we Mizzer Humanimals became the opposite of what we were supposed to be, not only becoming mean and spiteful but like crabs in a bucket, trying to drag down any Humanimal who wanted to escape our horrid game…"
Isis had to take a moment to catch her breath in her excitement…
"...Some of us at least realized on our deathbeds how badly we messed up! So arriving in the afterlife in constant pain because of our guilt those of us who felt remorse realized the only cure was to have a second chance and live the life we were meant to live! Fulfilling our purpose by being a creature of love and good cheer who lives to make others happy…"
So I've gone over in other fanfics the nature of the misunderstand that caused the Mizzer Humanimals to be trapped in a 'curse' or 'game' of thinking they had to be miserable because they weren't exactly like humans that only in the last one hundred years before the Wrangler Invasion that they were slowly beginning to break out of I go into more detail in my original stories in my Fictionpress stories most of all the story 'Worm's Eye View' but I like to think Isis is the most gung-ho to discover the secrets of the past and was given the magic to do so because out of all the reincarnated Humanimals so far at least I imagine she was the most horrid in her past life! I imagine most of the others like Dana, Bacon Bit and Stripes weren't the head 'Mean Girl Bully' but rather the Head Girl's sidekicks and enforcers kept in line by things like having spots or stripes because humans don't have spots or stripes (Yes it really was quite stupid the logic) where Isis was the 'Alpha Mean Girl' of her group and was as horrid to her spouse and children as she was to everyone else and died knowing she was loved by no one and so Isis in her new Mutant Life growing up mostly a pampered adopted child of the scientist who mutated her felt an ironic feeling the lack of punishment in her new life caused her to feel something wasn't right and so she was restless and antsy yearning for something she could not name
