• 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?

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Jade scrambled through the ferns over to the angular, bird-like construct lying on its side, eyes blank. "Betel?" she whispered, voice hitching in her throat. She put her paws to the Porygon's side, wiping a bit of humidity from the faceted surface, but there was no response. 'Betel, are you...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Virga’s gaze was still fixed deep into the overgrown tropical foliage. “No. No, I don’t believe it’s an omen of danger…” Not that she wanted to disregard the possibility of danger in this so-called dungeon, especially while trapped in this form. But whatever had specifically caught her attention...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Somewhere else... Jade wasn't entirely sure how long she'd spent drifting through a hazy nothingness on the borderline of consciousness. Even as she gradually became more aware of the passage of time and the existence of her own thoughts, the idea of doing anything felt next to impossible...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Virga squinted at Nova and Leaf as their expressions shifted subtly with the telltale sign of one conversing psychically. But before she could say anything, there was a rustle of foliage behind her. The Rookidee spun around to see another chimera joining them in the tile clearing as though...

    Leaf's response came across hesitant, and uncertain, which Virga took to mean that these other 'offworlders' might be anywhere, and that the three of them awakening in close proximity was through pure chance. Wonderful. "Well then, we must find a way to leave this place, so that we might locate...

    So it was as Virga had suspected—Leaf was human. She didn't know what to make of this information, much less the rest. Some kind of... shelled insect had called the others here... but may or may not have been the same individual responsible for her own calling. But if so, then they were...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Virga's feathers bristled slightly. Admitting to having fallen so far would almost be more humiliating than being in this form in the first place. What good was claiming the status of a guardian without the strength to back the words? "No, this species is unfamiliar to me," Virga said, "but I...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Oh, now the chimera deigned to speak with actual specificity the moment he was speaking to someone else. ('He probably didn't mean it as an insult,' is what the girl would have said, but she was not here, and Virga was left feeling vaguely offended with no way of meaningfully conveying so in...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    'Dungeon core'... this term held no meaning for Virga, but allegedly was the garden's sole exit. "Seeing what's outside should be trivial," Virga said, taking wing. The sooner she could get a read on where this exit was located, the sooner they could leave. (As for where to go afterward, that...

    Rookidee squinted at the chimera. What an utterly unhelpful response—answer a question by presenting a dozen more questions, forcing the listener to painstakingly voice each question aloud. "Are you normally this obscure?" the bird snapped. It felt the instinct to draw itself taller, except...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Rookidee let out a dismissive snort, but the sound came out as a low, trilling chirp. Yet another annoying detail among many. "Your associates refer to you as such, do they? How modest." 'A' Silvally was the standout detail, however. Whatever strange sort of hybrid he was, he was not unique...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Well, there went the idea that this stranger was in the same situation, waking up on a strange world in a strange body. A strange world. Not place… ‘world.’ That thought gave Rookidee pause, because some maddening part of its brain had decided it to be true. This place, Forlas, was another...

    Rookidee tilted its head, eyeing him. "I have only just awoken in this place," it said cautiously. The chimera's telepathic voice had held an air of urgency, as if this information were relevant to something. Do you know where we are? was the first thing he'd asked... "Is that the case for...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    The image reflected in the water defied all reason. One of the common, diminutive birds from across the eastern sea. And yet, it moved with the sea's movements, as if nothing were more natural. A dull awareness surfaced within its brain, that arriving here meant being given a new body...

    Threadmarks: Ch09 ~ Lost Souls in the Garden of Time

    When the sea had last closed its eyes, it had been within the embrace of the deep. The world above was streaked with the fires of endless conflict, turmoil, and unpredictability, much like the roiling of waves within a storm. But the deep held only calm, sweet silence and solitude. A moment's...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Ralsen rested his chin on his palm, gazing out the window at the snow softly falling on the cobblestone street. There'd been an elegant simplicity to everything before he came here. Chasing a singular goal was all he'd ever known, the only thing that felt real to him. There were times where...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Commission for Directed Evolution

    Jade had heard the back-and-forth between Laura and Betel, but somehow her brain had failed to process any of it. She’d been trying to pick herself up, trying to figure out some way out of this, but her limbs felt distant, unresponsive, and reaching for her teammates' energy was like digging...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Commission for Directed Evolution

    Jade felt it, felt the light beneath her pawpads and the sudden flash of clarity that came from the Betel in her head and the Betel right in front of her suddenly syncing up. The Porygon body opened its eyes, and a rush of elation flew through Jade when she heard them speak, and knew they were...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Commission for Directed Evolution

    Jade slowly opened the front of the case, staring at the Porygon within as she felt the fur on her arms stand on end. This was it, and some part of her brain was telling her that there were still a million things that could go wrong, but Betel was right here in front of them, for real. She...

    Herman coughed. "Well, let's use an example. Say you were to hit me with some Radiance—please don't—the light would linger for a little while, I'd feel some of the usual associated effects, and it'd be possible to measure the change in my aura, but it'd fade after a few minutes—or more if the...
