• 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?

    Novelux Blackglass Caldera Mystery Dungeon

    Gladion reflexively tried to shake the water out of his coat, even if he was unlikely to be terribly successful for long. Powehi and Auriga were here as phantasms, it seemed. Arguing. Was this what had triggered that “silence lasting mortal generations” which had closed that possible line to...

    "Okay, so, uhh..." He'd loosely pictured a few ways this conversation might go on his way over, but now that he had to prune it down to one he was finding it hard to articulate exactly what he needed to communicate. He took a moment to steel his composure. "Alright, plan hasn't solidified yet...

    Novelux Blackglass Caldera Mystery Dungeon

    "W-What the fuck?" Thoughts fought for Gladion's attention, a gnashing maelstrom of anxieties and uncertainties that wanted to consume him. Powehi was yelling at Auriga? She was here? Did that make her Victini? By that logic, was Auriga a former human? What was that thing in the lake? Why was...

    Novelux Blackglass Caldera Mystery Dungeon

    Even without consciously thinking about it in that moment, Gladion was distantly aware that his father told him about how his ancestors used to worship the cosmos themselves. He’d always liked space in a scientific way, but that perspective made it was hard to wrap his head around the idea that...

    Novelux Blackglass Caldera Mystery Dungeon

    Gladion felt a wave of cooler air and let out a breath he'd been holding out of concern that the volcanic air would hurt his lungs. This was a lot nicer than the last cycle had been. Was that lake what would later become the maws of the caldera? He'd never have known if not for what he'd just...

    Threadmarks: Ch08: One of a Kind (Leona and Gladion)

    It had occurred to Gladion that he should probably talk to Leona a while ago, but he’d been putting it off of a while. He had a hunch it was gonna be an awkward conversation and it was so easy to put off in favour of other, more pressing things. Now, Matthias was asking them to try to “find...

    Novelux Blackglass Caldera Mystery Dungeon

    Gladion's hackles lowered as the Garganacl allowed them to pass. He felt faintly disappointed, but it would be rude to seem disappointed that they didn't get a fight out of it, and it was best to save their strength for later. "Is it a soul thing?" Sage, Nova and himself all seemed to function...

    Novelux Blackglass Caldera Mystery Dungeon

    Gladion half-listed to Steven’s apparently pretty deep knowledge about stones, but only started fully paying attention when he was directly addressed. They seemed to be out of earshot if anyone he didn’t want to hear him talk, but he kept his voice low just in case. “Yeah, that would be...

    Novelux Blackglass Caldera Mystery Dungeon

    “Yeah, this is definitely the spot. Or it will be, once we get past the tourists.” Gladion had tried to do research on the contents of the Blackglass Caldera beforehand, but he’d failed to find clear documentation on what lay at the heart of it. Sure, one way or another he was gonna come here...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Somewhere that radiance had altered the fabric of the surrounding area. Gladion didn't know, off the top of his head, any places that seemed to be damaged by excess radiance. Or, at least, he hadn't been to one... yet. But he could make some guesses. He was looking for somewhere connected to a...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Weird messages given in dreams. Powehi had spoken to them overtly even at first, and had even come to them in person later. “Strange. You’d think the side of the coin who actually thought it was a good idea to summon humans would be the one to be better at communicating with them…” When they...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    That sounded borderline passively suicidal to Gladion, but there was no chance he was gonna say that to Matthias’ face. He found himself unable to make eye contact. “I… wouldn’t argue it would be a good idea to turn up such a chance, but…” Concern crept into his voice. To some extent, he...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    If Gladion was pleased to have gotten under Matthias’ skin, he didn’t show it. “I would expect nothing less from you.” He looked sharply and pointedly into Matthias’ eyes. “I do wonder what your idea of the right thing is. Since it would be a shame if… Well, I needn’t repeat you. That’s the...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Gladion shrugged. “Based on what I’ve seen from the embodiment of Shadow, I don’t think ‘Beacon’ or, y’know, whatever you call her is all-knowing, just experienced.” A smirk crossed his face. He was going to enjoy saying this. He lowered his voice to make sure he wasn’t overheard. “And yet I’d...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Gladion very quickly began to look uncomfortable. “Well, I don’t really want to believe in destiny…” But at the same time, I am (or we are?) also strong living evidence of it. Always the same name. Always called down to the labs. “Uh. Even if you have one. You wouldn’t know what it was, and I...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Gladion didn’t interrupt Matthias’s recollections, save for a soft exhale of sympathy. Honestly, he used to think it wouldn’t be so bad for him if he lost his memories. As if it might it get him out of the shadow of his past, rather than leaving him with feelings he couldn’t articulate...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    The idea of someone having to work with Matthias sounded terrible to Gladion, but Mhynt didn't seem to agree. All the better, it would suck for someone unwilling to get put up to it. (He did wonder who Articuno would have asked. Surely not him, he'd be terrible at it, but which Wayfarer would...

    Novelux Smokestack Hostel & Bar

    Valere… knew? Valere knew what was up with ARK was as early as the castle, but never told him. As much as he wished he could’ve found out sooner, there was no reason to mourn for missed opportunities. It wouldn’t even have helped them rescue Sage any sooner, and they were safe now. It still...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    The bar lounge had a less suffocating atmosphere than the main hall. It still wasn’t really a place he belonged, but it at least didn’t feel as threatening. Being outside the gaze of the main congregation would make him less effective as bait, but he just had to follow up on this. “So, we got...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Main Lobby

    Hearing that voice made Gladion’s heart rate spike, readying for an attack. None came. Of course Matthias was here. Why wouldn’t he be? This was where all there Coven sycophants met up, so it would be weirder if Matthias didn’t show. That posed a danger to him. Matthias knew why he was here...
