• 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?

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    CRASH! Cracks spiderwebbed the invisible screen, scattering the image of the man, Luxray trainer and enslaved legends into a thousand microimages. And then it shattered. Fragments of nothing fell to the snowy ground. The barrier was gone, but for some reason the scene before them had changed...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    Soft. Strained. "No." Behind the screen, the man still stood, waiting. Expectant. Almost frozen, and yet there was the slightest ruffle of spiked hair and moving clothes. A moment, caught in time. Had this actually happened like this? The world contorted around the figure, yawning and...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    Pressure. Chains tightened and the enslaved legends thrashed and cried out noiselessly. Movement from the figures. Voices. Indistinct, muffled. In the background a crackling murmur. Was that the TV from earlier? Beside Archie, Koa seemed stuck, caught in some war between emotions. Strangely, he...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    "Nothing..." The wind howled, and it was impossible to tell if the words had come from the Electrike Koa or the human one next to Archie. But the bitter shame in his words was plain. "...please... it's not real..." Whose voice was that? The sight before Archie shifted and distorted again. Now...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    "...." The silence felt heavy. "No." A breath. "...it's not me." Of the first part that sounded certain. And yet... What did it all mean? If there was two of him, why? Beside him, 'Koa' tensed and briefly put his hand against the invisible wall. He seemed frustrated, somehow. Before Archie...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    "-just mind games... none of it is real... trick." Somehow he didn't quite sound confident. Thunk. Just before the ruins, Archie would run into... Something. A wall. Insivisible, hard, blocking the way forward... Or.... Not a wall, it was like being on the other side of a huge screen, like...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    Pressure. The air itself thick, heavy. Unnatural. Pressing around Archie, as if gravity had decided to work overtime. Ever onward, following the footprints, higher and higher. Air thin. Not unbreathable, but certainly uncomfortable. Quiet, broken by the soft crunch of paws on snow. If Archie...

    Offscreen Activities

    Before preparations to head to Novelux, Koa spends a good portion his remaining few days around the Monastery hanging out with Shira. If its not training, or touring the area, he happens to find himself hanging around while she's on guard duty, just to chat or keep watch. A friend and sparring...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    Barely audible, more wind than words. "I'm sorry..." The feline tensed, fur still sparking, gaze never leaving Archie as it studied him. Double Team seemed to briefly catch it off guard, as its gaze flicked between the multiples Archies, trying to discern the real one. For a hunter pokemon...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    Bang! It was fortunate that Archie was both sturdy and slightly further away from the blast that the Luxray was. The force threw both pokemon back, though the Luxray seemed to take the brunt of it. It rolled, then scrambled to its paws and snarled. A gust of wind blew, and storm eased. As the...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    "No...alone." With the way his voice seemed to fade in and out, it seemed like not everything was getting through to Archie... The cold and wind only grew more bitter as Archie continued. "My cousin?" Koa's voice cracked, confusion mixing with unease. Perhaps the situation was beginning to...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    "-just a normal dungeon." Koa's voice was slightly clearer, but still far off, whispery. A long silence. His voice, now faltering. "Archie? What's..." The two humans stepped outside the library, and the doors swung shut behind them. Archie followed, pushing through the doors just a second...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    "...okay, uh I'll try--" At Archie's voice, the kid looked up and grinned. Looking closer, the boy looked ever so slightly insubstantial. Faded or indistinct around the edges, a little to pale to be fully there. Still, that same smile looked familiar, even on a human. The tv continued to play...

    Whispers of Koa and Archie

    "Archie? ...going on?" As Archie continued, the steely library with its metal shelves and cold floor changed. Like a spread of moss in a forest clearing, a patch of wooden floor occupied one corner of the empty library. It was ringed by wooden shelves, these filled with actual books. Old tomes...

    Threadmarks: Ch06: Finale ~ At World's End (Archie & Koa)

    Archie was alone. Rows and rows and shelves spread before him, all shiny metal and hard edged. Cool steel floors underpaw and harsh bright lights overhead. It felt almost like a lab or research facility, but the layout and setup was all wrong. The layout was systematic, organized, too many...

    Novelux Whisperwind Comb Mystery Dungeon

    The first time near the entrance, Koa had dismissed the noise as just... nothing. A weird sound or maybe some strange dungeon pokemon. Or trick. Ignore it. So he did, even though with each successive level they traveled it was more and more clear it was something. That wasn't nothing. Koa...

    Novelux Whisperwind Comb Mystery Dungeon

    Koa steeled himself as he followed Laura, and stuck close to Archie. After the Oasis expedition, which he distinctly hadn't enjoyed, he hadn't been in a hurry to return to any mystery dungeons, least of all some kind of cursed dungeon. But he refused to sit back just because he was afraid didn't...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    "If someone is doing something thats hurting innocent people I would try to stop them, no matter what. But not liking the world or just being mad because something isn't perfect enough then thats wrong," Koa said stiffly. Leaf's point about Victini caught his attention and he glanced at her...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    "So nature is change, but you don't think he could have changed..." Koa wasn't entirely sure if he was really asking or it was rhetorical. He still wasn't sure how he felt. The idea of a legends death made his chest ache, but then it seemed a normal part of the cycle for Saints here... Zapdos...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    Change. Growth. Destruction. Koa considered Zapdos words. "An idealist? What about you, what do you consider yourself?" After a moment more he added, "How did you ascend?" It was impossible to hide the genuine curiosity in his voice. Whatever Saints were like here, it was still fascinating to...
