• 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?

    Novelux Blackglass Caldera Mystery Dungeon

    Gladion staggered back as his vision was pulled into a place he’d never yet seen. A glimpse of Auranosa. Another place he’d have to find. And another place he’d have to reach. That part wasn’t negligible in a world without aircraft, even if he’d only have to make the trip there and not the trip...

    “If you two are self-aware, you’ve had this argument before. Right? Can you break from it for a moment?” He locked eyes with Auriga. “You, or rather the Auriga five thousand years from now, seem to be missing. You summoned one human a few years ago. Then another just one year ago. The first...

    “Oh!” So the apparition of Auriga was, somehow, completely self-aware. Even remembered how much time had passed. “So you know, that’s actually really…” And yet. And yet. She seemed to feel the same way. Had probably felt that way for all five thousand years… Did an echo emotionally suffer in...

    Gladion coughed and forced himself into the poison type. "I get wanting to help. I really do..." Even though this wasn't real anymore, his gut was telling him that the right thing to do was to try to do some kind of damage control. "But... This is not going well." Was there even a point in...

    Gladion reflexively tried to shake the water out of his coat, even if he was unlikely to be terribly successful for long. Powehi and Auriga were here as phantasms, it seemed. Arguing. Was this what had triggered that “silence lasting mortal generations” which had closed that possible line to...

    "Okay, so, uhh..." He'd loosely pictured a few ways this conversation might go on his way over, but now that he had to prune it down to one he was finding it hard to articulate exactly what he needed to communicate. He took a moment to steel his composure. "Alright, plan hasn't solidified yet...

    "W-What the fuck?" Thoughts fought for Gladion's attention, a gnashing maelstrom of anxieties and uncertainties that wanted to consume him. Powehi was yelling at Auriga? She was here? Did that make her Victini? By that logic, was Auriga a former human? What was that thing in the lake? Why was...

    Even without consciously thinking about it in that moment, Gladion was distantly aware that his father told him about how his ancestors used to worship the cosmos themselves. He’d always liked space in a scientific way, but that perspective made it was hard to wrap his head around the idea that...

    Gladion felt a wave of cooler air and let out a breath he'd been holding out of concern that the volcanic air would hurt his lungs. This was a lot nicer than the last cycle had been. Was that lake what would later become the maws of the caldera? He'd never have known if not for what he'd just...

    Threadmarks: Ch08: One of a Kind (Leona and Gladion)

    It had occurred to Gladion that he should probably talk to Leona a while ago, but he’d been putting it off of a while. He had a hunch it was gonna be an awkward conversation and it was so easy to put off in favour of other, more pressing things. Now, Matthias was asking them to try to “find...

    Gladion's hackles lowered as the Garganacl allowed them to pass. He felt faintly disappointed, but it would be rude to seem disappointed that they didn't get a fight out of it, and it was best to save their strength for later. "Is it a soul thing?" Sage, Nova and himself all seemed to function...

    Gladion half-listed to Steven’s apparently pretty deep knowledge about stones, but only started fully paying attention when he was directly addressed. They seemed to be out of earshot if anyone he didn’t want to hear him talk, but he kept his voice low just in case. “Yeah, that would be...

    “Yeah, this is definitely the spot. Or it will be, once we get past the tourists.” Gladion had tried to do research on the contents of the Blackglass Caldera beforehand, but he’d failed to find clear documentation on what lay at the heart of it. Sure, one way or another he was gonna come here...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Somewhere that radiance had altered the fabric of the surrounding area. Gladion didn't know, off the top of his head, any places that seemed to be damaged by excess radiance. Or, at least, he hadn't been to one... yet. But he could make some guesses. He was looking for somewhere connected to a...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Weird messages given in dreams. Powehi had spoken to them overtly even at first, and had even come to them in person later. “Strange. You’d think the side of the coin who actually thought it was a good idea to summon humans would be the one to be better at communicating with them…” When they...
