• 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?

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    There was much she wasn't telling him, but that was no great surprise. Everyone always had secrets... including Malachai. It was enough to have talked, and to have tested the waters with a creature such as Virga, once-Lugia. An enjoyable game. To press too greedily would spoil the flavour of it...

    Malachai laughed along with his flying companion. He liked this girl. How bold! How absurd! While he couldn't wisely counsel reckless action as a general principle, he imagined he'd prefer it to anxious agonising. Laura was doing less of that of late, at least. "To whatever ends drive her," he...

    Ah, so you didn't know she was a child, he nearly said. But he bit his tongue. Normally he would speak freely, but perhaps it would be best not to offend the little legendary. She might take offense and end this fascinating conversation. And then he would be bored. He nodded sagely. "I see...

    Malachai pondered this alliance with a 'foolish' human, apparently in aid of simple survival against a human threat. He had not imagined such a thing, but on reflection, it did not surprise him whatsoever. Perhaps Virga wanted to compare her choice of ally to his? "The stronger she becomes, the...

    Malachai hummed thoughtfully as Virga confirmed his assumption. Fascinating. Every world, different. Here the legends were mentored, in Virga's world they were born alone, and his own world – so far as his experience could tell – they were to him as he was in turn to scurrying mammals and...

    "Appropriate or not, it was the truth," murmured Malachai, pensively. He had not hidden his indignity at being reduced to a Noibat for a time. He also had held total confidence that he'd return shortly to his full size. Perhaps it felt differently for Virga, considering her fully-evolved form...

    Malachai smiled to himself. It was nice. So nice, in fact, that he didn't even need to rub it in. He could be magnanimous. He descended to match her altitude without any particular fanfare or show. There would be plenty of time for aerial acrobatics at another juncture. "You'll get yours back...

    Seth snorted, and waved away the praise. It wasn't the same dismissive motion he made so commonly, but a kind of showy, 'it was nothing' gesture – he was being cocky, and obviously pleased. "Well, y'know, just be sure that you beat them soundly with all that intel then, alright? Don't go...

    Seth nodded, tallying the names on his paws. "Yeah, that's all the important ones that see field duty. The top brass probably ain't on Forlas, too much political bullshit to deal with back on Earth for them to waste their time here." Seth grinned, obviously enjoying the chance to be the one in...

    Seth groaned theatrically at all the affection as if he were suffering an acute bout of food poisoning. "I can put up with irritating bullshit if I get to kick asses and be celebrated for it," he grumbled. "Best part of living in the shithole I called home was having fans. Never could work out...

    "Ugh, gross. That's so fucking sappy." Seth rolled his eyes and groaned... but he didn't shove Archie away. He sighed, and looked like he was genuinely considering the idea. "I gotta be honest, I don't really give a shit about any of that 'fighting for my friends' type stuff," he said, rubbing...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    Seth listened to Archie until he finished – maintaining a neutral grimace, that buckled to a disbelieving chuckle once or twice towards the end. He made a show of rolling his eyes and waving off Archie's comforting paw, but in a way too theatrical to be a sincere rebuffal. "I still say you're...

    Seth didn't say anything at first. Didn't look at Archie. But if he'd taken offense, he'd have just said so – or interrupted to tell him to shut his mouth. So he was thinking, then. "Yeah, I admit I do really miss my boys. Forlasan pokémon aren't the same. The civilised ones are just people...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    Seth shook his head, brusquely. "Uh, no. Not yet." Not yet. So maybe he figured it would happen at some point. "I gotta be honest, seeing another version of me... Especially, y'know, like that. Shadowed? Yeah, it gives me the creeps." Seth hadn't been concerned with how he was perceived by...

    Seth huffed, crossing his arms. "Fair play, you can pull your weight in a fight with stakes," he admitted, his way of complimenting Archie's strength in battle. "Honestly kinda wild how fast you guys have been getting tougher, even compared to me and the Cipher bastards..." He shook his head...

    Seth rolled his eyes and growled irritably. "This shit again, huh? What part of 'I am fucking undefeated' did you not hear when I spilled the beans? Whatever, just quit worryin' about me like that. And fuckin' patronising me— Raikou's rocks, Archie. I should be warning you not to put yourself...

    Seth made a habit of being the one to surprise others, and initiate conversations. This encounter was no different. "Nice to see ya, Fedora," called the wolf, from atop a rocky perch. With his reddish fur, and matching jacket, he could camouflage himself quite nicely against the redder rocks of...

    Another pause, as Betel – presumably – composed themself. ...Archie, I know less about Shadow than I do about every other part of Forlas. I do not know this organic source of Shadows, or the master of Zweilous Alex-Xander. Koa, I was silenced not in general, but specifically in your location...

    The sensation of dread ebbed, flowed... stabilised. Figure this out...? I can try. Oh... I am sorry for panicking. I do not mean to be unhelpful. ...Koa. Archie. Everything... will be alright. There was a long pause. Betel's voice was not really a sound, but it still felt like speech. On...

    ...I do not know. Communication with Betel usually gave the Wayfarers a faint, gentle sense of their presence. Easy, unobtrusive, placid. Like a soft light, adding in the slightest way to an otherwise lit room. A candle in the dawn. Archie. You have... Shadow in you. Now, however, that...
