• 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?

    Virga shook her as the psychic impression of abstract shapes suddenly flashed through her mind. It reminded her, bitterly, that her own psychic abilities were out of reach so long as she held this form. "I suppose it may be possible to assemble this marking," Virga replied. The whole exercise...

    Jade felt a flash of indignation from Virga at whatever Nova had said and couldn't help feeling at least a little bit self-satisfied at that. Then Gladion sat down next to her, and she gave him a grateful look. Virga scratched at the sandstone with a talon, frustration increasingly digging...

    Jade blinked at the... buff lizard(?) matching the description Nova and Gladion had given. Apparently Leaf was right to suppose that the professor might have been forcibly teleported along with the rest of them, because here she was, enthusiastically exploring the heart of the dungeon as if...

    While Jade was mildly baffled by the 'lizard bitch' line of discussion (which didn't seem like it'd been getting an explanation anytime soon...), the takeaway was simple enough. Betel's creator was an offworlder and she'd likely been sucked into the same distortion as the Wayfarers. That...

    Jade felt the buzzing light radiating from Nova's talon and grit her teeth, reaching for the light within herself even though it felt more distant than ever. Stumbling through the fog, seeking out that will to make a difference, now when it really mattered for Betel. Her paw lit up, barely...

    Jade dusted a few bits of fern leaves from the side of Betel that had been face-down before being righted by Leaf. "Actually, I'd been wondering if that'd help. Maybe they just ran out of power... Radiance, that is." It felt too optimistic, but it was worth a shot. She pressed her paw...

    Lugia was here. Lugia. How—why... Nova had theorized that Betel had accidentally summoned partners for everyone. It almost felt like a joke, except she knew Betel didn't have the context, so... some kind of cosmic joke? Gladion's exclamation dragged Jade out of her thoughts. She blinked a...

    Virga's gaze flitted from Nova, to Gladion, to Leaf, and then back to Nova, uncomprehending. Even aside from the disjointed nature of the psychic conversation, the subject matter was alien and nonsensical. A work of storytelling. Mass summoning. Trawling through memories. Partners. Now...

    More strange words in her head, more psychic impressions of the abstract meaning to go with it. It was a weird way to hold a conversation, but it seemed to be working well enough, at least. Summon. Betel's body. Saw what? Jade exhaled, running a paw along one of the corners of the Porygon...

    Jade slid down from the tree and landed clumsily in a patch of ferns as the two chimeras came trotting over, followed by Leaf and a small, round bird. Gladion called out what sounded like a greeting and then another telepathic voice filled Jade's head. She was just about to ask why the...

    Jade jolted mid-step. She'd been in the middle of trying to push Betel's inert body onto the palm leaf she'd grabbed, to use it as a makeshift sled, when a sudden telepathic voice echoed in her brain. Wait... telepathic? Did that mean—? I'm here! she thought back. Seconds passed. Nothing...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Virga darted through the garden, still unused to this body's rapid-fire wingbeats, nothing like the broad soaring wings she was used to. (At least the cursed beetle had given her a flighted form.) She didn't know what she was searching for, but the pull was distinctly stronger in some...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Jade scrambled through the ferns over to the angular, bird-like construct lying on its side, eyes blank. "Betel?" she whispered, voice hitching in her throat. She put her paws to the Porygon's side, wiping a bit of humidity from the faceted surface, but there was no response. 'Betel, are you...

    Virga’s gaze was still fixed deep into the overgrown tropical foliage. “No. No, I don’t believe it’s an omen of danger…” Not that she wanted to disregard the possibility of danger in this so-called dungeon, especially while trapped in this form. But whatever had specifically caught her attention...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Somewhere else... Jade wasn't entirely sure how long she'd spent drifting through a hazy nothingness on the borderline of consciousness. Even as she gradually became more aware of the passage of time and the existence of her own thoughts, the idea of doing anything felt next to impossible...
