• 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?

    Chapter 25 – Speak No Evil The council chamber was vast. The floor was raised slightly in a strip against the far wall, forming a platform just large enough to accommodate the members of the council. The council, however, was not there. The witnesses brought from the temple, a very small...

    Chapter 24 – Impossible Tears Side by side, Azvida and Jeneth entered the temple. They closed off the entrance behind them, then descended into the sacred chamber, moving silently through a small crowd as they sought a nice place to sit. Those who were already gathered there barely noticed...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 23 – Family Matters Silently, determinedly, and swiftly as he could, Solonn made his way through a bare-walled, nearly empty network of stone tunnels, alone. He knew, as always, that the slightest hesitance could dismantle his willingness to proceed. Like a passenger in his own mind...

    Bad Idea

    So, this itsy bitsy teeny weeny Vienna sausage of a ficlet. A few years back, I did a fanfic meme of some sort that, at one point, asked me to write a paragraph centered around one of my favorite characters. What happened instead were several paragraphs. Whoops-a-daisy. Rated K+ for mild...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 22 – The Serpent Denied The new day found Solonn sitting alone in his room, watching the ice on the walls move and transform as he idly manipulated it. Sleep had abandoned him early, leaving him awake throughout most of the morning, and during that time he’d been rather bored. There...

    Chapter 21 – Persona Non Grata Light briefly filled the border cavern just outside Virc-Dho as Solonn and Oth materialized there. For both of them, this part of Shoal Cave was familiar territory. It was where Oth had teleported Morgan back home after she’d acquired her new snorunt, and it was...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 20 – Silence in the East The next thing Solonn was aware of was a steady humming, one that grew louder as he finished reconnecting to his senses. The pain he’d known prior to losing consciousness awakened along with him, but it was far weaker now, barely more than a dull ache. As his...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 19 – A Sight for Sore Eyes Restlessly, he soared, his weary eyes sweeping the land below. He’d done next to nothing else for months now, stopping only to tend to his physical needs, never staying in any one place for long. A few months prior, he’d returned to his homeland, his work...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 18 – Heart of the City Solonn had never been able to guess exactly what he could expect from his education. As it turned out, neither what Morgan had told him about her school nor the demonstrations he was given at the academy painted the full picture. Solonn’s education included a...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 17 – Lifeforce It was like resurrection. His spirit rose up from the depths of the nothingness that had been occupying him. His voice rose, as well, in a crescendo that kept growing with each repetition of the truth that had brought him back to his senses: “She’s here! She’s here!”...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 17 – The Academy “Ahh… Sure is good to be back home, isn’t it?” Jal’tai asked. Home… Solonn had only lived there for just under two weeks; there were aspects of this place—not to mention this body—that he was still getting used to. And yet… he couldn’t deny that the suite was taking...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 16 – Balance Syr awoke to a very different scene. From where he was lying, he now had a sideways view of shattered floor tiles illuminated by scattered moonlight, as well as of an irregular hole in the wall through which Ntairow was leaning partway. There was also a sound in the air...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 16 – Home “Go!” Solonn shouted at the terrified creature who cowered before him—the creature who’d nearly become his prey. He watched as the zigzagoon sprinted fearfully away through the tall grass, sickened by himself as he thought of what he’d nearly done. “Well, that was certainly...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 15 – The Swarm There came a point when Ntairow’s patience for Karo’s speed—or rather his lack thereof—finally ran out. Without warning, she broke away from the party at a very fast run, ignoring the others’ shouted pleas to let them catch up. Syr might have been able to keep...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 15 – Deceiving Yesterday Taloned arms lowered, embracing Solonn and lifting him up off the floor. Grave, red eyes held his gaze. Solonn immediately wanted Jal’tai to let him go, but he simply lacked the strength to do anything more than shudder in the latios’s arms. Part of him wanted...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 14 – Chasing a Rumor Esaax rushed recklessly through the streets of Convergence, which were fortunately more or less deserted at the time. Most of the local pokémon were diurnal, and with sunrise approaching, most of those who didn’t keep daytime hours were getting ready to go to...

    Chapter 14 – Anywhere but Here During Jal’tai’s next visit two days later, Solonn looked at whatever he was shown, did whatever he was told to do, and managed to show no outward signs of resentment or indignation. As soon as the latios left, however, that veneer fell away, leaving behind a...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 13 – X Esaax wasn’t unconscious for long. He awoke and immediately wished he hadn’t; he was fatigued and nauseated, and pain pounded in his head and seared down the length of his spine to the end of his tail. He tried to stand, but found that he couldn’t. Instead, he fell into a...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 13 – Small Steps Solonn lay listlessly on the bed, staring up at the ceiling fan above him as if mesmerized by the whirling of its blades. Through vision blurred by sheer exhaustion and an almost continuous stream of tears, it looked like a shimmering vortex of light and motion, and...
