• 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?

    Lillian scratched the back of her head. The guards made this sound like a formality, like they were literally bound to ask even though they either didn’t care or already knew the answer would be no. “Uhh, nope! No idea what you’re talking about.”

    Lillian sensed no particular hostile intent from the border guards. Plus, hey, didn't Esperanza tell them that the border guards at this time would be in on it and want to see the baron fall? If that was true, then they should be on the same side. That theory was dangerous to overtly confirm for...

    Lillian was less nervous than usual participating in smalltalk on account of the way she felt like Isabella was probably in the same boat as her. She was also willing to indirectly indicate that she got it, even if she didn't want to talk about her own past in such detail as to reveal that she...

    “That’s the spirit!” Did… did Isabella know Odette’s name? They weren’t introduced yet, right? Lillian sure hoped that was a coincidence. Whatever. It was just for a little while. She cleared her throat very deliberately and let her voice slip into a colder, smoother tone. “I mean, ‘course you...

    Lillian was worried for a moment about Isabella, that Odette was being too harsh and was going to make things worse. That wasn’t how she would want to be treated while feeling anxious, after all. But that didn’t seem to be Isabella’s reaction. If there was a way to disable her emotion sense...

    The sound of Blue busting someone else tagging along got Lillian's attention. She didn’t sense anything that seemed malicious to her coming from Isabella, and her plight seemed sympathetic. For a moment, she looked up expectantly at Gladius, as if assuming that he would see something of himself...

    "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...

    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...
