• 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?

    "Is he..." He turned over what Auriga'd said like it was a riddle, which in some sense it was. An offworlder guy, that much was obvious. His gut instinct and the subject of his half-formed question was Neo, since it was easy to imagine why a son of his father wouldn't want to die under foreign...

    Lillian took a sash and put it on like a scarf. Hopefully, it would still fit her when she evolved... Unless they were closely affiliated with this baron's awful regime wherever she went. She hoped that wasn't the case. It was a pretty nice scarf. The cap was, in her untrained opinion, a less...

    Gladion took a moment to turn all that over in his head. He knew he couldn't go home now, not with Neo here fucking everything up. Once he'd dealt with his other self, then maybe he could allow himself to go home. Even though it meant one more offworlder soul straining the bounds of reality...

    Huh. It’s not as if, with Betel’s promise to return their souls if they died, it hadn’t occurred to Gladion early on that he had a way back if he was desperate enough to leave this place and wake up to Hazel. But not knowing whether that applied to Leona nor how desperate she was to return, he’d...

    Gladion looked over to Leona. Despite having his own questions about Matthias and Starr, as well as what Forlas needed of the Wayfarers, he was clearly of the opinion that she should get to ask for help first.

    Auranosa Intrepid / Temple of Auriga

    Damn. That was one way to start a conversation. Gladion sputtered for a moment, recalibrating, processing the idea of someone who could see all he was from the perspectives of everyone whose lives he had touched here. Friends and enemies. What would such a person, such an entity even think of...

    It took Lillie a moment to ground herself in the realities of her current situation when she awoke again, still in Forlas, still inhuman. But also still with her brother. She wiped at her eyes, as it sunk in that she’d volunteer to help commit a crime. And told everyone to call her ‘Lillian’ to...

    Gladion was not predisposed towards being afraid of heights. Quite the opposite, really. He’d been quite accustomed to terrifying his sister by flaunting the do not sit signs on the outer railings of Aether. Thinking of walking along these notes of light was still making him feel a little...

    Auranosa Intrepid / Temple of Auriga

    Gladion almost mistook the telepathic voice for his own thoughts, then Betel, but it didn't seem to be either of them. "Anyone else hear that? Or feel it." He had a hunch that the other Wayfarers who'd been intentionally summoned by Betel would also have heard it. That tended to be how these...

    Auranosa Intrepid / Temple of Auriga

    “It sounds like the kind of place we’re looking for. The kind of place that could have been a temple of some description. In that Auriga could call it one, even if it wasn’t what we’d usually call one.” But that didn’t mean he knew what to do once he got there. “I suppose we should try using...

    Lillian’s eyes sought the floor as Gladius elaborated on the differing nature of their presences on Forlas. “Oh. I’m sorry…” For what? That he might not be able to go home? That she was going to? That they were bound to be parted again? She wasn’t sure herself, but it crossed her lips sounding...

    Lillian quietly pumped her fist to herself when Gladius resigned himself to approving of this plan. After all, this sounded like an exciting thing to get involved with, the kind of thing she would never have been brave enough to do as a human. She trusted Esperanza’s word that it was safe enough...

    "Nope, the Caldera stuff went down before dungeons were even a thing. It was the first dungeon, so when she showed up the place it was just a still-functioning temple. No idea what the dungeon's gonna be like..." Gladion didn't sound too worried about it, though. Blackglass Caldera itself had...

    Lillian took an almost comically cautious sip of wine. This was a new experience to her, and she’d lost a lot of mass and become a fairy type, which probably want going to considerably help. It tasted more ascerbic than she’d usually pictured wine being. She wondered if it would be different...

    Gladion waved a talon as Leona finished going over the procedural stuff. “Should be no problem, yeah.” It took a moment to sink in. That addition. That… “Wait, rewind for a second there, the fucking what now?” He didn’t wait for an answer before starting to stress about it. “That’s bad, that’s...
