• 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?

    Ah. That... wasn't much. It wasn't nothing, but it wasn't nearly as much as he would've wanted to. "That's Sage, right?" Brilliant observation, Lillie. You've cut right to the emotional heart of the problem. "It sounded to me like they're happy now. So that's good." It felt like she was...

    Gladion reeled back. He could feel air rush though his beak, but if he yelled he couldn't hear it. The pain and Betel tagging the bullet in the pillar came before the faint, dull sound of the gunshot's sonic boom reached him. Could've been info on how far the shot was taken from. It was lost on...

    Chestnut? That had to be a proper noun of some kind, so she would be asking who Chestnut was and not what his chestnut was. Lillian’s sighed as she realized that the answer was obvious. He’d already told her: “You said wore a disguise of his old Null partner. That what you’re doing now...

    Gladion stagged back as an unseen attacker shot Gladius through a window, snapping him out of the duel and back into the reality surrounding them. “Wait, no, I’m supposed to—” But there was no time to talk. The moment he realized a follow-up was coming, he threw himself into a Quick Attack...

    Lillian closed her eyes in concentration, trying to block out all the emotional noise surrounding her and think carefully. That was a death wish, right?Like he wasn't gonna make it because he didn't want to live with himself. She didn't know how to deal with that. She really didn't know how to...

    Gladion averted his eyes from the attack, unable or unwilling to look directly at it. He clawed that the paving stones beneath his feet looking for purchase, carving long gashes in the settled snow as he struggled against the dual forces of Gladius' attack and gravity just to remain standing...

    Back home, Lillian's Aether had been rotting from the inside out from the beginning. Maybe Gladius meant it differently, though. Meant something other than the moral rot that came with the existence of the deepest labs of Aether. Because, well, he wouldn't have been blindsided by something like...

    Once he’d gotten over the shock of being sent flying off the roof and hauled himself up off the ground, Gladion grinned back at the Zoroark, the man who’d replicated the Null experiment on Forlas, the director of the CDE, the left atrium of the Coven’s rotten heart. This was a fight he'd been...

    Lillian chased down the Umbreon, the emotional signature and the fact it seemed like a form her brothers would like was enough evidence for her to assume that it was Gladius again. "I have an idea," she whispered back. "Do you remember what you said when we first met? That you were staying at a...

    Gladion's shadows seethed beneath his skin when he heard that word. "A good person. A better person, if you weren't. Loyalty's just ripping out your own brain and replacing it with subservience. People like Arthur and some like your Gramps have loyal folks, too. It's not a virtue." (One of...

    Lillian took a moment to catch her breath after being abruptly dropped. Not that Gladius had be choking her before, he hadn’t, but she still really needed one. While she did so, she fired a quick thought in Blue's direction. Whether over Betel or her own telepathy, the difference was unclear and...

    Gladion ducked out of the way of the incoming body press. A softball. She really didn't want to fight, which maybe shouldn't have been a surprise, but given the amount of corruption going on everywhere it was still kind of remarkable. "Sam, listen, I'd love nothing more than to thrash Arthur's...

    Lillian grabbed her sword and sheathed it quickly before chasing after the new illusion. She knew it wasn't his real body, but something about the imagery of him plunging a blade into his own chest didn't leave her feeling great about his mental state. (Although it wasn't as if anything before...

    Gladion closed his eyes and tucked in his head as he pushed past the rocks Sam had set in the perimeter of the gardens. For once, his RKS System put up no resistance as he forced his type through it. No sparks or fanfare. "You remember when we met? Back then, I probably would've been content to...

    Lillian’s eyes shot open when Jade called out Gladius’ presence. If Jade hadn’t known that was one of his illusions, she might never have put two and two together on that. She was lucky Jade was there. She’d have to remember to thank her later. It still wasn’t visually obvious whether or not it...
