• 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?

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    The footfalls were close. Alarmingly close, too close to ignore. A wave of bittercold swept through the fog that hearkened back to the barrens as they had been in the dead of winter, months ago. Then, the fog parted, swept back until it sat over and all around like a dome, enclosing them. And...

    Lucre Merrimere

    The young Buizel narrowed her eyes suspiciously underneath a mop of fur that stuck out at all sorts of angles. "You ain't with the don are ya?" she asked, though from the sound of her voice, she didn't actually believe that they were. They didn't look like the type. At Zena and Mhynt's...

    Threadmarks: [Ch09] Goons from Guilwater

    The river winding its way down from Wishingmist Falls cut straight through through the heart of a lush temperate rainforest, one that stretched all the way up the western coast. The air was wet and cool, and the smell of petrichor lingered from recent rainfall. It was still early enough in the...

    Auranosa Intrepid / Temple of Auriga

    Jade blanched. Weeks? They’d been gone for several weeks? What? How…? Right, okay, guess they were shelving that one for later. Jade coughed and raised a paw. “Right, well, I’m definitely coming along. And, uh…” Her voice trailed off as she threw a sideways glance at the Rookidee beside...

    The Forlasan Atlas ~ The Month of Seeds

    The Month of Seeds heralds the earliest onset of spring. While the northern regions like Kivara, Malantau, and Tyrrier remain as cold as ever, the southern parts of the commonwealth begin to thaw. Rainfall washes the snow from the streets, and the first signs of new shoots can be found peeking...

    Malantau Howling Precipice

    A vast white expanse stretching out across the entire horizon. Those that had made the trek north some months ago would recognize the endless wastes and the bittercold bite in the air as the Wight Barrens they'd crossed back then. The eastern reaches of it, to be exact, where the flat tundra...

    Auranosa Intrepid / Temple of Auriga

    Virga fluttered down to land alongside Jade. "Another of your group?" Jade turned toward her. "Uh... kinda? She's the one they were talking to Sada about--the one that got summoned here as a test, and then was imprisoned by Cipher." "Hm," Virga replied noncommittally. She'd mostly tuned out...

    Auranosa Intrepid / Temple of Auriga

    Jade was grateful that the journey back to civilization hadn't been too long, all things considered. She hadn't been looking forward to trudging for miles through the desert while still feeling drained from the last mission, but here they were on the outskirts of town before sundown. Good...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Virga shook her as the psychic impression of abstract shapes suddenly flashed through her mind. It reminded her, bitterly, that her own psychic abilities were out of reach so long as she held this form. "I suppose it may be possible to assemble this marking," Virga replied. The whole exercise...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Jade felt a flash of indignation from Virga at whatever Nova had said and couldn't help feeling at least a little bit self-satisfied at that. Then Gladion sat down next to her, and she gave him a grateful look. Virga scratched at the sandstone with a talon, frustration increasingly digging...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Jade blinked at the... buff lizard(?) matching the description Nova and Gladion had given. Apparently Leaf was right to suppose that the professor might have been forcibly teleported along with the rest of them, because here she was, enthusiastically exploring the heart of the dungeon as if...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    While Jade was mildly baffled by the 'lizard bitch' line of discussion (which didn't seem like it'd been getting an explanation anytime soon...), the takeaway was simple enough. Betel's creator was an offworlder and she'd likely been sucked into the same distortion as the Wayfarers. That...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Jade felt the buzzing light radiating from Nova's talon and grit her teeth, reaching for the light within herself even though it felt more distant than ever. Stumbling through the fog, seeking out that will to make a difference, now when it really mattered for Betel. Her paw lit up, barely...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Jade dusted a few bits of fern leaves from the side of Betel that had been face-down before being righted by Leaf. "Actually, I'd been wondering if that'd help. Maybe they just ran out of power... Radiance, that is." It felt too optimistic, but it was worth a shot. She pressed her paw...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Lugia was here. Lugia. How—why... Nova had theorized that Betel had accidentally summoned partners for everyone. It almost felt like a joke, except she knew Betel didn't have the context, so... some kind of cosmic joke? Gladion's exclamation dragged Jade out of her thoughts. She blinked a...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Virga's gaze flitted from Nova, to Gladion, to Leaf, and then back to Nova, uncomprehending. Even aside from the disjointed nature of the psychic conversation, the subject matter was alien and nonsensical. A work of storytelling. Mass summoning. Trawling through memories. Partners. Now...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    More strange words in her head, more psychic impressions of the abstract meaning to go with it. It was a weird way to hold a conversation, but it seemed to be working well enough, at least. Summon. Betel's body. Saw what? Jade exhaled, running a paw along one of the corners of the Porygon...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Jade slid down from the tree and landed clumsily in a patch of ferns as the two chimeras came trotting over, followed by Leaf and a small, round bird. Gladion called out what sounded like a greeting and then another telepathic voice filled Jade's head. She was just about to ask why the...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Jade jolted mid-step. She'd been in the middle of trying to push Betel's inert body onto the palm leaf she'd grabbed, to use it as a makeshift sled, when a sudden telepathic voice echoed in her brain. Wait... telepathic? Did that mean—? I'm here! she thought back. Seconds passed. Nothing...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Virga darted through the garden, still unused to this body's rapid-fire wingbeats, nothing like the broad soaring wings she was used to. (At least the cursed beetle had given her a flighted form.) She didn't know what she was searching for, but the pull was distinctly stronger in some...
