Dale Barrow

LA tiger at large. Fuck Loki.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

Goodbye, my friends. Goodbye, family. We will meet again someday.

- Dale William Barrow, the last of the weretigers.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To New York and all its survivors, tell the stories of tonight so that every new creature walks with hope in this city. To those who have perished or disappeared, you are lost but not forgotten.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

You will be okay. WE will be okay.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

I plan to greet that weretiger I met so long ago. The one who died in service to the O'Neill's. I will apologize. And then, somewhere out there, we will live free at last. I hope all of you live on as well, and if you do not, I promise you that death is merciful in strange ways.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

But she told me another. She told me about the land of kings. A place in the Nevernever where the weretigers run free across the fields. A place where we are kings.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

I hope you will forgive me.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To the rest of New York: the Morrigan told me a secret. I do not know my real family, but I am the last of the weretigers. I have birthed no children and kept no lovers. With me, the lineage ends, and I'm so, so sorry I couldn't offer new beginnings. It is my greatest failure.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To Egeria, my dragon, and the little sister I never had. Thank you for all your kindness and the mercy you showed the last of the weretigers. From raging dragon to fearless little girl, you will do this city proud. My bracelet is yours now. And my scarf, if you can find it. ;)

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To Sam, the mother who took me in when I had nothing but her daughter to follow. Thank you for opening your heart and making a family out of these fragments. You have deserved every bit of magic in your soul. Best of luck. My jacket is yours now.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To Zilla, the little dragon we never expected but gladly took in. You have been nothing but a joy to spend time with. You have grown so fast and so quick, and whatever future comes for you, it will be magnificent. I know it. Thank you for letting me sneak you your first drink.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To my father, William Barrow, long ago you took in a child, and someone told you he was important. You gave me my first fields to run and my first game to hunt. You saw a beast and didn't shy away from the tiger. This deed is not forgotten, and neither are you.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To Roger, I'm uncertain if you're gone, because you were not simply any emissary, but America's. You epitomized the hope of America as you grew closer to the one's I love. You taught us what we could be, and knew we could get there. I hope I have done you that honor, my friend.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To Devin, I don't know if you're out there anymore. We met once last time under a starry, wooded sky. Now, I thank you again for your guidence when I first ran away to New York. You never deserved half the shit people gave you, but I only hope you're resting in peace at the end.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To Jo, the lycanthrope bear that could. When we met, we talked over sushi, and I knew that nothing would rise against you in defense of the ones you loved. I know you have watched over me like a distant cousin. I thank you for the safety you brought to the people around you.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

To whomever it may concern: this is my dead man's switch. If you're reading this, it means I have perished, and this time, it is a one way trip.

I have messages to follow.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

@PutnamPuller @GimmieThings @DTidwellParanet >< Egg? Need to talk about this.

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

@PutnamPuller @GimmieThings @DTidwellParanet Not a lot. They're old. Really old. Various colors and sizes. Leather. No words left on spine

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

@PutnamPuller @GimmieThings @DTidwellParanet grantedI may not remember any of it and all the tomes may be blank now but this is NOT my fault

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

@PutnamPuller @DaleWBarrow @GimmieThings @DTidwellParanet Nothing! I was just reading!

[Dale Barrow @DaleWBarrow]

@GimmieThings @DTidwellParanet IN MY DEFENSE I WANTED TO BE MORE USEFUL TO THE PARANORMAL COMMUNITY
