• 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?

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa smiled weakly, and thumped the bar table lightly. "Well, I'll at least do what I can, Gladion. I was already set on checkin' in on Jade when I got a chance. Not that we got to know each too well or nothin', but we got some catchin' up to do all the same. 'Specially if you're at all right."...

    "No? I mean, I dunno. I thought..." Sonora swallowed some of her drink, and wiped her mouth with the back of a paw. "Fuck, okay, I guess we're doin' this then. Gettin' off the ballot an' everythin'." Brisa grinned, then turned to Gladion, a little weariness showing through past her...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa nodded appreciatively to Gladion, then turned back to Sonora, her amber eyes focused, purposeful. Now the Floragato was the one to be flustered... "Hey, now," she began. "None of that," interrupted Brisa. "What I'm hearin' is, you can lead an' inspire folks, you won justice when no-one...

    Sonora grinned at Gladion's appreciation. The Floragato soaked up attention like sunlight – apparently much in contrast with Brisa. "Yeah, maybe. Guess I'll find out, and 'til then I'm here to bounce any jackass outta this place any time." "Just fine, kid," murmured the Luxio. "Say, Sonora...

    Brisa pinched the bridge of her nose, and put back most of her remaining whiskey. "Be a sight less embarrassin' if you had, fella." Sonora smirked. "Nah, this was serendipitity at work, sir Gladion~ I'm sure Stiff Breeze would've made herself ill worryin', otherwise. To be fair, she had reason...

    Brisa flashed Gladion a look of afgast disbelief, her ears burning pink. "Ya might'a mentioned that earlier," she hissed. "Sky an' stars, I damn near jumped outta my fuckin' fur!" Sonora laughed into one paw, openly revelling in flustering her former friend. The Floragato shook her head and...

    Brisa groaned voicelessly, and dragged her carpals over her face. The kid had nothing in the way of reassurance – to their mutual discomfort – but he was right. "Fair enough," she replied, low-voiced. What would she say..? "I guess... I'd tell her I wish I'd been here when she played her...

    Brisa nodded, huffed through her nose. Moisture misted her glass. She traced a line through it with the tip of a claw, like a river, or a route on a map, or the stroke of a pen on paper. The moisture would disappear, the line would fade – but the path she'd taken was permanent, now. Part of...

    No reflexive answer. Not dumbfounded, just considering. Good. More folks ought to think before they spoke. She did the same before she replied. There was enough to think about, at least. Ignatius, in touch with Covenites? "What I'm hearin' is, you gave 'em a good enough reason to put a stamp...

    'Mohn'. Like... 'mon? Whatever the boy's family name, if he was an offworlder, the Wayfarers were his clan now, such as they were. But that wasn't for Brisa to tell him, not when they'd barely made an acquaintance... though meeting her eye and speaking honestly put him closer to friendship than...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    The last few seasons. Brisa had spent those walking east, through lonely plains and cities big and loud enough to deafen her. Back home, judging from what she'd learned so far, the town had come under attack from other offworlders, demons, outlaws, all sorts. If she'd been there... "I shoulda...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    It had been a long ride – back from Novelux, all the way to Frontier Town. As high-rises passed, then fields of corn, then badlands and Blaguarro, and finally the lush desert of home, Brisa had stared out of the window. Thinking. She'd left with Starr, full of hope, and now she'd returned...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    The Wandering Light nodded, and after finishing her glass, stood from her seat at last. Zeraora Luz was tall when she stood upright, and with such a striking appearance besides, it was hard to imagine how she'd avoid attracting attention as she traveled. Still, she pulled her cloak over her...

    Luz's face bore a forced grin that was halfway to a grimace. "Y'ain't wrong, big fella. Alright. I'll mentor them, then." She made it sound like a threat. "When I said y'all were wildcards, I mean that I can't honestly say I know what'll happen with ya. I won't take a chance on somethin' I...

    Luz nodded, still lost in thought, and tapped her claw against her whiskey tumbler. "You're wildcards – inimitable, at that. You're a– a band, a posse, you're not any of you alone. And you're not here forever – least in theory, 'cause I know at least one angel who ain't fucked off home when his...

    "Salt and fuckin' sand," swore Luz, quietly, shaking her head at Koa's description of the powers. "...Damnit, I need another drink." Luz gestured to Gerome, and sighed, before turning back to the Wayfarers. "You're just gonna come out an' say all that in a public house?" she asked, her voice...

    Luz's amber-clouded eyes widened, and her paw tightened around her glass enough that the Wayfarers could hear her claws scrape against it. "No kiddin'?" she said, in a low voice.

    The Zeraora's expression flickered. There was doubt there, and concern... "Radiance... ain't meant to 'counter' Shadow. They're just... opposite things happenin' to a 'mon's soul. Light; darkness – explosion; implosion – wildfire; avalanche. Radiance unchains your aura while Shadow locks it up...

    Luz stared into nothingness as she nursed her whiskey, and the Wayfarers spoke. They sure did talk. At last there was a pause. "You don't wanna watch it happen if you can help? Then do something to help." Luz's voice was not soft, but neither was it angry, or cold. This was advice. Or a...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Luz' expression settled into a kind of hard, weary indifference. Her voice grew quieter. "I'm over three-hundred years old," she said, calmly. "I'm tired. In case you can't see too well yourself – I'm blind. I've been doing this long enough that I've seen more people pass away than you've ever...
