• 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?

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage nodded along with Nova's words. "The air, the light, they feel good." The chimera closed their eyes for a moment, experimentally letting their crest fan out the same way before glancing down at their crumpled neck feathers. "Probably, I will need help..." But then their eyes lit up, as...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage blinked a few times, as if processing that they'd managed to hold both shadows and light at bay for now. The chimera's posture was still tightly focused, and it would probably take a while for them to keep hold of the energies without a tight focus... but for now, all was calm as they...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage's hurried breaths slowed until they were breathing in unison with Nova. In... out. In... out. An ear flicked toward Gladion. Sage lifted their head to look around slowly, considering. The rivers of gold trailing down their plumage had lessened, just a slow trickle. "The lavender plants...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage glanced from Nova to Gladion to Laura, their face fully visible for the first time. The chimera's expression was fairly neutral--they probably hadn't had much experience with visibly emoting at all, not when their face had been hidden for so long--but their eyes told a different story...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    The low hum grew steadily louder, as light spilled out across the surface of the mask, bit by bit, as if it were shining through the ceramic. Sage caught sight of Nova's shimmering shield, and their stance relaxed noticeably, tail wagging ever so slightly in that way that Nova's sometimes did...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage listened as the others spoke. "Feeling out my Radiance, that is..." It was easy to see the conflict simmering behind the chimera's mask--the conflict between suppressing feelings and sensation, retreating into a comforting void, versus feeling a rush of heightened emotion in a deluge of...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage blinked at Nova, processing what he’d said. “The shadows distress other Pokémon, I know this. But, for me, they are familiar. ‘I want to be rid of them,’ is something I should think, but…” The chimera glanced at Gladion, then lowered their head slightly. “An outlet, maybe…?”

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage listened to the answers that the others had given. Losing control. Confidence. Strength. The chimera's talons clawed restlessly at the dirt. "For me, I feel… conflict. The shadows pull thoughts inward. This is familiar. The light is…” Now it was clear that despite the peaceful...

    Threadmarks: Ch06: Breakthrough [Sage and friends]

    A gentle breeze swept through the hills. Desert lavender plants swayed, and though their blooming season had passed, the clearing was still a favorite of Sage's. The chimera was presently seated low to the ground with limbs held close and eyes closed. Every so often, tiny blips of light...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage nodded. "If I can, I will meet her." Then, they lowered their head lower, as if bowing. "Thank you." Jade set the sprig of sage leaf on the dusty table and stood to her feet. "We'll see if we can arrange that then, and until then... well, you'd got the Escape Orbs, so if anything...

    "Radiance," Sage said slowly, as if testing out the idea in their head. "Using it, that was my purpose, once." Jade fidgeted with a claw. "You don't have to do it just 'cause you were made to do it." The chimera peered at her. "The ones who gave me that task, they are not here. 'If it might...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    "A tolerance. I was given one, probably. The Shadows do not make me feel anything. They just are." Sage lowered their head. "Removing them is... I do not know what would happen." Jade's ears fell. It was probably hard for Sage to imagine being anything other than what they were. Sage looked...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Sage looked down slightly, contemplating. "That is... I do not know." They glanced between everyone else in the party, hesitant. "Shadows and Radiance... you were able to use them both, without succumbing. Will you keep using them?"

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Jade couldn’t help laughing, and it felt good to laugh. Casual, like being with friends. “I didn’t actually know it was a plant,” she said sheepishly. “I get the genstone thing a lot from my team, though. Since, y’know, Pokespeech—gotta be the literal translation.” Ark—or rather, Sage—tilted...

    At first, Jade wasn't entirely sure if Ark was responding to what Nova said, or to Laura. It was kinda funny--the reply worked equally well for both of them. "Something I like," the chimera echoed, tapping a claw. "The scent of the plant called Sage, I like it. I could be named that."

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Ark sniffed at some of the dusty glasses on a shelf, or at least, what looked like sniffing. A bit hard to tell with the mask. It glanced between Nova and Gladion, tapping a claw on the well-worn floorboards. "Tasks to perform, nutrients to consume; these things were provided for me. I will...

    Threadmarks: Ch05: A New Home [Ark & friends]

    Laura had been the one to suggest Brisa's cabin, and as the group approached the lonely structure out in the scrubland, it certainly seemed like the ideal spot. A way for the ARK Unit to stay sheltered and have some privacy, while still close enough to town to get food, and easy for the team to...
