• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    "Praise and honour on those who rescue hostages," quipped Halcón, sanguine as ever. "Fair weather to your new charge." At the mention of combat, Luxio grinned amiably. "Well, that I can certainly help with." He stopped, leaving the pair very nearly at the top of the ridge. "Be on your guard,"...

    The Luxio listened with interest. His own situation might be very different, but he looked as if he understood... "It is not easy – not at all – to not know how to chase down your goals, or to meet your duties... Perhaps it would be easier to focus on one thing, something you can do something...

    The Luxio smiled at the reciprocation and raised a brow at the rest. "As you said yourself, you're not as you were. You were human, then wore that helm, then broke free of it. Changing once and again!" He chuckled a little, and began to walk across the dusty ground, beckoning with his head for...

    Halcón's eyes – gold with orange sclera, like a setting sun – rarely showed all that much emotion. Escarpa were stoic. He was at least a little like Gladion – one who didn't quite fit in, who used irony and affectation to distance himself. Still, he had become increasingly direct, and there was...

    The Luxio nodded. If he was bothered by the retort, he didn't show it. "I tell you, we're not rational creatures," he said, looking away again, as if searching for something. "It's hard to simply decide to do things differently, when the world has trained you in one way of being. Habit alone is...

    Halcón chuckled, glancing back at Gladion. "So, you broke your helm and your 'armour' alike, and you came here to have me strike you until you found new armour." He pawed at his cheek fur for a moment, his ears flicking in thought. "You are afraid of injury," he said at last. "You can grow...

    The big cat shrugged. For a Luxio, he was pretty large – liable to evolve any time now, probably. "Clan life isn't for everyone. At least there's no great shame in leaving – we have civilians, you know? But that life is not for me." For a moment, it seemed like the clanner was unsure what to...

    The Luxio nodded, listening with patience. Gladion obviously interested him, and while another clanner might have preferred to jump straight into battle, he clearly felt at ease just talking, for now. "You are from another world," said Halcón, musing. "You ran far from your mould, strange...

    The Luxio warrior nodded, and sat back on his haunches, relaxed. "Pressure, sure. Of a kind. For you, I think, this is about what you should be? For me, it is more like... I am exactly as I should be, but why do I not do more? Why do I not understand the importance of it? Why do I joke, and do...

    Halcón stopped pacing, his head cocking to one side. The smirk remained, but more curious than before. "My friend, I wonder – what do you mean to say? To give me permission not to fight a certain way – if I do not wish it – is how I hear your words." The Luxio glanced over his shoulder towards...

    Halcón nodded, and began to pace around Gladion's flank, smiling lazily. "I will be glad to help you with that, then," he replied. "Ah, this is usually where I say I will go easy on my opponent, but you are truly strong by now, I think." His grin flashed teeth. "Besides, it is very unlike a...

    "Ah, and why wouldn't you want that, here of all places? The pokémon around here are all so handsome." Halcón may have been joking, flirting, or both, but he kept speaking without expecting repartee from Gladion, at least. This was very possibly a mercy. "So, you want to spar until you have...

    Escarpa were serious-minded 'mon, but Halcón didn't show much care for punctuality. It wasn't like the clan carried pocket watches themselves – though they did have a habit of looking to the sky for the position of the sun. Eventually, the Luxio showed himself, loping towards the battlegrounds...

    Sierra got carefully to her feet, her mane still sparking with excess electricity as she began to earth the power she'd built up in the course of the fight. Her expression was an odd mix of serenity and pain – perhaps it could best be called catharsis. She'd once fought like hell for years on...

    Kimiko's inner darkness fueled a projectile of aura energy that shattered Sierra's protective barrier – the chieftain grunted with effort as the energy field collapsed, the Shadow mutually annihilating with the Radiance lacing its structure. Jade fired off her own Shadow-type projectile, and...

    "Gladly!" replied the Luxio, his expression broadening into a more sincere delight. The Null's mass collided with Halcón hard enough to nearly knock him out flat, and the built-up charge in his body loosed at that same moment, frying Gladion with a surge of power. Halcón wouldn't get a chance...

    Halcón grinned, his ears flicking to continue hearing out Gladion as he jumped from side to side, looking for another angle to land a blow. Halcón didn't juke all that much. He clearly liked to land all his hits. "A feeling, is it? One you chase – joy, then? Or something else?" Perhaps...

    With Bellatrix and Dave down, and Bellatrix out of the fight entirely, the Escarpa counterattack landed squarely on Kimiko and Astrid was a forgegone conclusion. Even so, the clan warriors pushed to give their best performance, knowing the Wayfarers would revive momentarily – and make a final...

    The Wayfarers had found their rhythm. This was their true strength – a degree of tactical coordination none could rival, though the Escarpa made a good match for it. "Sierra!" shouted Piedra, leaping the distance to block the next attack, and audibly wincing as it landed. "Watch yourself!"...

    The chieftain's signature strike misfired, frying her as much as her opponents. "Turn winds," ordered Sierra, her voice calm and commanding. "Circle centre, and sally." "Heard!" "Heard." "Heard!" "Don't set off Contrary!" "I'm a thinking 'mon, I won't!" "Really? Did you scuff it...
