• 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?

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura pawed at her cheek, and groaned inwardly. "Either way, he— I mean, Ralsen, you have these orbs. These powers. So you're gonna leave the relic alone, at least? I mean it'd be great if you could avoid tunnelling home until we've dealt with the whole 'Forlas is breaking apart' thing, but we...

    "He... doesn't know anything," muttered Laura, squinting at Ralsen. He'd told them he was a dead man back home, but it didn't matter. He was gonna sleepwalk back there, propelled by whatever compulsion made him do the things he did. "He's just doing what he's supposed to do." Wait, what was...

    Laura winced at Koa's harsh tone. So what if Ralsen had relics? The Wayfarers had relics. 'Steal them'— Steal them from who? Honestly, it sounded like Koa's anger was more about something from his own history than Ralsen himself. For Laura, it was hard to be angry at the guy while he was looking...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura gasped out her words between heaving, panting breaths. "So, wait... You have the power... of spacetime saints...?" Legendaries. Dialga and Palkia, Koa had said... "How'd you get... something like that? Did they send you here? Did you come here intentionally?"

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Mega evolution. Of course. They called it 'Awakening' on Forlas – something only the greatest warriors, those with perfectly-realised self actualisation (as she understood it) could hope to achieve. For all that he was infuriating, she couldn't fault Ralsen's sense of purpose. The guy's...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    It was getting hard to think. This wasn't intense like a League match with the roar of the stadium in her ears, this was tense like bullets flying, the roar of blood in her head— "Pull yourself together," she hissed to herself. Just keep going. Ignore the Fissure, pay attention to the leader...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Okay, okay, they were getting somewhere. If they could sustain this pace, there was a possibility space in which they won. They just had to keep pushing. And if she kept up this pace, and didn't getting knocked out, Laura could keep putting out strikes like that last one every minute... What...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Her head was ringing, she'd just done something intense with Radiance and Shadow, there was pain beneath the flood of adrenaline in her bood – she needed to stop, needed— She needed— Her brain made her muscles and tendons move to pull healing berries to her mouth, as she fell behind a tree...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura banished a flicker of doubt and committed to the plan. It was a dead simple one – get rid of the healer. Everyone knew that was what you did in, like, MMORPGs and shit. It was a good plan. Right? Decision paralysis seized her for precious seconds. She wasn't cut out for this. She was...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura's lips pulled back in a snarl, one that sounded deeper, rougher than she was used to hearing out of her own throat. "The dragonite's their bloody MEDIC!" she howled over the network, "Target the fucking dragonite first!"

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    No time to think. No time for witty repartee, or getting used to her new, Persian body. She just had to act. And at least she could be fairly sure of what action to take – the usual 'get everyone stronger, fast', and slowing the hell out of the least fortified targets. The sooner they got the...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura skidded to a stop, panting hard. In this gothic atmosphere, with the castle looming behind Ralsen, the moon full and high overhead, and her breath steaming from her mouth, it felt so cinematic she could scream. One could easily believe that Ralsen, in all his cold certainty and with his...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Her body changed, lengthening, filling out – her coin evaporated and gave way to a budding gemstone. Her gait changed too, and she hardly thought about where to put her paws. She'd let instinct do its work for her. Would this affect her ability to fight, would it spoil her rhythm in battle? No...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura panted for breath in the clean, cold air of the Reven Hollow street. Where the fuck had he gone? Didn't matter. It was fine, fine. If she couldn't chase down Ralsen, she'd just have to race him to the castle. "Everyone to the castle!" she shouted in her mind over the network as she set...

    Malachai's throat erupted in a chittering, clicking growl. "He's gone!" he declared, in fury. "Chase him down!" Laura coughed and spluttered and held her breath as she tried to dart on all fours towards the nearest exit. She could pay her tab later.

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura pushed herself out of her seat. "You can't—!" she blurted, then swallowed her panic. No point addressing him. Had to warn the party, efficiently. "He can't help it, it's a compulsion, it's up to us to stop him, and if we don't, he's gonna use the relic!" Malachai swivelled his head...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura peered at Ralsen, remembering her last conversation with him. That bizarre, unsettling revelation that he didn't even always know why he did things. That some greater power was guiding his actions, puppeting him towards a goal. How much agency did he have? When could he choose to exercise...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Laura pawed at her temple, groaning inwardly. As much as she'd been frustrated by losing the relic to those birds, and hyped herself up to confront the one who took it... "Goddamnit. Malachai had a point just there. About jurisdiction. We're talking about fighting this... whoever, but should we...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    There came a rumbling of discontent from the tavern barn-lounge, and then Malachai poked his draconic head – and giant bat-ears – through the entryway and into the bar area. One of the tavern maids stammered something to the oversized noivern about not blocking the throughfare. He ignored them...

    "Test sounds right to me," muttered Laura. "We turned up showing an interest in his interests, a whole gang of strong offworlders... He wanted to scope us out. In case we kept interfering. Which it sounds like we might be, honestly?" She gripped her arms and hugged herself. She wasn't really...
