• 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?

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 12 – Hunter of the Shadows As silently as he could, Esaax staggered through the forest outside of Convergence. He’d put a considerable distance between himself and the Haven in quite a short time, having run at full speed the entire way. But now he was slowed down by exhaustion and...

    Chapter 12 – Preclusion of Choice “There,” Jal’tai said. He sounded no different than he had prior to revealing his true form, and he tried to sound soothing, though he failed in that endeavor. Solonn stared agape at him for seconds on end. He then cast a couple of flitting glances back and...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 11 – The Vault Karo returned just a short while after he’d left. He was accompanied by Breanna, a granbull from across the street, who fetched the dried cheri berries from Karo’s kitchen and administered them to Syr. She also provided a couple of sitrus berries from her own cupboard...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 11 – Bereaved The space surrounding Solonn was utterly silent and dark, but far from still, anything but empty. A stream of pure power rushed through this lightless, ethereal plane like a river. It brought the most wonderful feeling: an almost inebriatingly sweet familiarity that...

    Chapter 10 – Embracing the Predator “Can’t you do this any faster?” Syr urged. “Do you want this done in a hurry or do you want it done right?” Madeline asked crossly. “But—” “Just keep your skin on, purple man!” the mr. mime snapped. Teresa, Syr, and Jen had fetched Madeline, and after...

    Chapter 10 – Whitley's The swellow led Solonn deeper into Convergence, heading for the center of town. Along the way, Solonn spotted more of the city’s residents out and about. They were mostly pokémon, some of whom were using human-made devices—which was nice, he supposed, but he wished the...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 9 – Altered States Esaax refused to believe it at first. Wake up, wake up, wake up! he screamed silently, again and again. But in truth, he knew better. This wasn’t a dream. There was no denying this new reality. He’d shut his eyes to the sight of what was befalling him, wishing he...

    Chapter 9 – Convergence Very tall, thick grass surrounded Solonn, swaying slowly in a light breeze. Beneath him, the grass was flattened; he’d tried to sleep there the night before, to no avail. There, he now sat under the pale pink morning sky, gazing out into the east. Though it was too far...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 8 – Phasing Forward, Looking Back The doors to DeLeo’s office opened, and Esaax let the human usher him out. The wobbuffet found it slightly harder to move than he was used to. His muscles were oddly tense, his tail flicking about restlessly, but his bones almost felt as if they could...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 7 – One on One Esaax stared at the creature who’d just stepped out into the corridor. The newcomer stood on two legs and had chin-length, reddish-brown hair. He wore human clothing, which in and of itself wasn’t terribly remarkable; Esaax had seen the occasional pokémon wear...

    Chapter 8 – Gone Roughly three hours later, Solonn awoke at last, his eyes opening with something of a delay. Almost immediately, he realized he had no idea where he was. He was in the middle of a somewhat large, high-ceilinged, and presently rather dark room. The place was quite bare; there...

    Chapter 7 – The Sought-For Matter Having earned the normal rank beauty ribbon, Solonn’s next goal was to obtain the super rank ribbon. The next super rank contest was slated for the fourteenth of November. Solonn lamented the amount of time that separated him from his next trip to the contest...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 6 – Hope Jen opened the door for Syr and Esaax upon their arrival. The arbok slithered into the house with all the liveliness of a zombie, practically carrying Esaax. Syr placed the listless wobbuffet on the sofa and made his way into the kitchen, realizing a beat later that Jen had...

    [COMPLETED] Communication

    Chapter 6 – Back Onstage In the weeks that followed, Solonn underwent a far more stringent regimen of training and rehearsing than the one preceding his previous contest appearance, and he did so at his own request. On occasion, he spent an entire night rehearsing his routine alone in the...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 5 – The Fire and the Air A golden light swelled around Syr, Esaax, and the xatu. When it faded, the xatu bowed and bade them farewell, saying that he knew when to return for them. With that, he teleported away, leaving Esaax and Syr alone and somewhat confused. Where the bird had...

    Chapter 5 – Elements Embraced Solonn awoke several hours later, unaware of how much time had passed since his failure within the contest hall. His eyes opened to a view of Morgan’s room, which was more dimly lit than usual. With a delay, he noted that he was lying at the foot of Morgan’s bed...

    [COMPLETED] The Origin of Storms

    Chapter 4 – The Messenger The nearest place to park in the shade was five blocks away from the Haven. Five blocks to walk under the harsh midday sun, which Esaax hadn’t been under for years. He certainly wasn’t enjoying it, and he continued to wonder how in the world a snorunt could tolerate...

    Chapter 4 – Spell of the Spotlight The following morning brought a choice. “All right, Solonn. The contest hall here in town will be holding two normal rank contests—those are the ones for newcomers—in the upcoming months,” Morgan said. “There’ll be one in three weeks, on the twenty-fifth...

    Chapter 3 – In Review Esaax’s wounds were cleaned and repaired, leaving only a faint series of scars where the stronger bite had connected and nothing at all of his lesser injuries. Soon afterward, Teresa informed him that Adn was ready for him. Esaax told Syr to find somewhere comfortable to...

    Chapter 3 – The Deal Solonn felt a number of things when he was released from the capture ball. First came sheer relief, both at no longer being drained and paralyzed (he distantly wondered how he had recovered so completely and suddenly) and, to a greater degree, at just being out of that...
