• 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 Mhynt and Nova

    And this time, the smile Nova offered was genuine. Yeah. I think... I'd like that." <><><>

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova paused mid-step, as if he hadn't considered that the food had anything to do with things. "I mean I kinda figured Frontier Town wasn't the kind of place to serve good spaghetti. But maybe the big city?"

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    "Yeah." Nova clicked his tongue. He forced himself to crack a smile. "Even in your craziest fantasies, did you imagine that break would be a spaghetti western?" He blinked several times. "Uhh... at least, that's what Dave's called it? I think?" A beat. "Between all the swearing."

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova walked along silently at first. Then, his gaze fixed ahead of him, he said. "It's only a penance if you make it that way." He stopped. His black feathers swayed back and forth. Nova blinked several times. "Sorry, I--" Shaking his head, Nova exhaled. "There's a phrase that goes around my...

    Nova resisted the urge to wince. "Does he... remind you of happier times?"

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    "I'm not just thinking about here, though," Nova said, crest drooping. His cheek bolts slowly turned in opposite directions of one another. "What about back home? It sounds like... you finally have hope for freedom. But that's... not going to heal the scars that are there. "I can't bear the...

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    This time it was Nova's turn to hug Mhynt. Or, at least, curl his head around her protectively. "No one should have to go through that," he whispered. And his tone was one of... unfortunate familiarity. "I'm so sorry."

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova leaned over. Trying to stop the trembling by gently resting the tip of his crest on Mhynt. "I don't know what he made you do besides being a soldier," he whispered. "You've kept it to yourself all this time, haven't you?"

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova kept his gaze trained on the dark depths of the cavern. Where things presumably continued down. Probably. Maybe. "It was like being in Twilight Quarry." He lifted a gold foreleg. "There were these shapeless void shadows. The dungeon told me to kill them. I resisted but... when one ran into...

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova sat down. He looked tired. "I'd rather... give that hope to people who can use it." He stared at a cavern wall. "I've fought and resisted for so, so long. I'm exhausted. I don't like thinking about it anymore. So, I'll give Forlas what I can before I fizzle out."

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova sighed. A heavy, weary sigh. He'd heard this before. Directly from the person Mhynt was talking about. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "There isn't anything to separate. My spirit... is that power." On the ground he traced a rectangle, hoping that would get the message across as to his true...

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova looked at the silhouette. Then, turned a tearful expression on Mhynt. "Do those people... have to become an Eternal Seal?"

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova's crest drooped. "I waited for a miracle," he whispered. "That Overseer... he's not well-liked. Impulsive. Rule-breaking. He can break souls apart." His cheek bolts turned slowly. "I held out hope that he could do something. But I--" His voice got really, really quiet. A water droplet...

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova stiffened from the contact. Then he leaned his head over to wrap his head around the treecko. "What did you see?" he whispered. "Did... did anything hurt you?"

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Nova's fur stood on end. "Y-You stabbed yourself?!" He frantically looked her over, but didn't see blood. "Do you need a berry? I don't know any healing moves."

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    "M-Mhynt?" Nova's shield faded. His feathers curled up. "What happened to you?" He crouched down. "Why did you devolve?" His eyes darted toward the ceiling. "How did you devolve? Is this dungeon really that strong?"

    Threadmarks: [Ch06] Respite (Nova & Mhynt Finale, part 3)

    Nova walked across the dark stone ground, swiveling his head back and forth. It seemed a bit darker down here. Did that mean he'd gone down another level? There were mixed messages about the dungeon's mental challenges sometimes booting out delvers based on... something. He really wasn't sure...

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    Huh? What happened? ... dungeon still... with head? Nova's words were still choppy. But they couldn't have been the dungeon's this time. It had to be Nova. Still worried for her. And not himself. Whether Mhynt would stuff those thoughts down, for now, or let them eat at her remained to be...

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    "You promised," the shadow whispered to the dragon again. "Even if you had to improvise you'd--" The dragon's head tendrils shrank. "If I improvise... that corruption will escape. But if you fight them... they can clear enough shadows for that Explosion to get rid of the source." Silence. The...

    Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

    The figure remained still through Mhynt's impassioned speech. With every sentence-- no, every word, the static decreased. Bit by bit. Until Mhynt was facing the man once again. Only now his body was covered in patches of colorless crystals. Thin crystal slivers ran like veins across pale skin...
