• 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?

    "I guess it does sound a little ridiculous," Steven admitted with a sheepish look, "saying you can get through anything with sheer determination. There's certainly more to problem solving than that, but on the other hand, a little bit of determination does seem to go a long way." Steven gave a...

    "You asked if I had experience with this sort of thing," Steven said matter-of-factly. "I do. And in my experience, if you'd come face to face with a Legendary pokemon, you would remember it." A heavy, metallic sigh emanated from the Metang. "In my world, a Legendary almost wiped our entire...

    Steven watched Lyle with curiosity. Did wanting to defy the odds make one an idealist? If he'd listened to odds he'd probably be in a Devon boardroom right now. Steven hummed thoughtfully; he never really considered himself an idealist, and yet... "Sometimes... sometimes the odds don't matter...

    "I'm sorry it came to that for you," said Steven, eyes downcast. "I can't begin to imagine what that's like." "But..." Steven paused. A strange surge of tension washed over him. Steven's stare seemed to be aimed at something that wasn't Lyle; something distant. But beyond the apiary's...

    "It's, ah, a bit of a long story," Steven said sheepishly. "I guess the short version is I tried to break free from a future full of responsibility I didn't want, only to wind up in another position that was different, but in a way very much the same." He fiddled again with the notch in his...

    Steven's eyes widened at the haunting way Lyle said the word 'peaceful', only for his gaze to fall at the Cyndaquil's confirmation that life had not been the most kind to him. "I can't claim to know what your desires are, if the things you wish for the most are things others take for granted...

    "I think it sounds like maybe you've had a tough life. Tougher than it should have been. That's not petty, or stupid." He looked to Lyle, not with pity, but something closer to sympathy. It certainly wasn't a truth Steven was familiar with himself, very aware that he'd led a privileged life...

    A sudden breeze picked up, and Lyle almost lost his paper that he'd been reading. Steven hadn't meant to look at its contents, but he was startled to see that it wasn't some sort of long document as he'd assumed it was based on how intensely Lyle had been focused on it when he bumped into him...

    Steven brought a claw to his chin. "Perhaps? Although I didn't properly use Radiance myself, I certainly felt its effects. But I hadn't been trying to use it at the time. I remember wanting to help, so desperately. To be able to keep our plans from being disrupted, otherwise the fate of so many...

    "In truth, I'm not sure I've been attempting anything," Steven admitted, eyes uptilting in mild embarrassment. "I think... as much as I'd wanted to use Radiance, I also didn't. If that makes any sense." He thought back to the raid on Cipher's base, how the gift of Radiance had been shoved in...

    "Ah, and here I was hoping I could witness a live demonstration." Steven kept his tone light, giving Lyle an easy smile that conveyed he wasn't actually disappointed. "If it helps, I haven't been able to use it myself yet either. I felt the power when the Wandering Light bestowed it, but nothing...

    "Ah, yes that's me. Although it must have been quite a while that you've been away, if you haven't seen me since I was a Beldum!" He chimed a light laugh before quieting into a slightly awkward smile. "Ah, sorry. That was an attempt at a joke. I evolved somewhat recently, within the last...

    Startled by a sigh, Steven turned to see a Cyndaquil tuck some paper away in his bag and stare skyward. Mistaking their reaction for something he did, Steven felt compelled to speak up and quickly waved an apologetic claw their way. "Ah sorry, my apologies. I didn't mean to disturb your...
