• 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?

    The paths faded, retreating from Forlas, leaving the meeting-dias in their centre to become a little circular patch of sand, the colours of honey and rust. "Maybe nothing else went wrong," murmured the light-cloud entity to itself. "I hope not." The light dimmed. The cloud contracted to a...

    Forlas Spirit Nexus

    The cloud's light continued to pulses outwards, then retract, pulse, retract, each time taking a few new souls from the Nexus, and sending them Elsewhere. The voice was quiet as the pattern established itself, but then, as the motes of light began to shudder and spark, it spoke up again. "Oh...

    Laura waved, which then turned to awkwardly scratching the back of her now-feline head – which felt good actually – which turned back into a more forceful wave. "I think... everyone's about ready to go? Shall we do this, whatever 'this' is?" The cloud brightened a little. "Certainly! I am...

    The cloud shuddered, and shrank. "Are you very sure? Is it possible you are more of a hero than you believe? Or... maybe just that you wanted to be here more than you wanted to be wherever you were before?" It wasn't clear if Wes heard. "Unclear... All I know is that a hero came to Forlas to...

    "I am sorry, but I can give no such guarantee! That will be up to you." The cloud took a moment, perhaps to figure out what the bird most likely meant. "Yes? As I say, there is a lot I do not know. I am sorry if that is disappointing." "I will do my best!" replied the cloud, with a dramatic...

    Laura scratched the back of her head and laughed nervously. "Uh, no? Sorry, I just... No, you haven't partnered up with me, so I'm not your trainer, but also, I don't even get to boss around my pokémon." She smiled, thinking of her team of stubborn, pushy, independent battlers. She thought of...

    The cloud's dust motes abruptly jumped an inch in the air. This seemed like a suprised blink. The voice repeated itself, more slowly this time. "I think 'hero' is an appropriate term, for someone who would travel, across the void between worlds, to answer a distress call." Laura looked up...

    "Yes! You would know better than I could about why you are now a ralts. Maybe you are an empathetic person, like a ralts? Or perhaps you are reclusive, like a ralts!" "But they did exactly that! Maybe you would not, but it certainly seemed like a good idea to the hero who Called you!" It...

    Forlas Spirit Nexus

    The cloud of light flickered, and its particles switched their direction of spin. It was... worried? Or possibly concerned for the chimera. "This is a spiritual preview of a body that your soul is compatible with. I am sorry you are experiencing discomfort! Unfortunately I do not know how to...

    "Not at all! Your soul is only visiting, and will return safely to your body when this is over." Corey's vision pulsed for a moment, and the cloud's words from earlier echoed in his mind. "Unclear! Your world sent you together, which is quite unique. I do not seem to have any means of...

    "Unclear! I think you should help everyone, just to be safe. The hero who sent the call said 'I can't save it on my own'. Normally, only one hero at a time comes from another world, apparently. But with so many of you, I am sure you stand an excellent chance of helping, and will not be 'screwed'...

    The mismagius... spoke. Not just articulate pokéspeech, but straight-up Galarish. Or, wait... was she only hearing it that way? "I know what clothes are! So I am quite sure clothes probably exist in my world. I hope they are real, and not a fanciful fiction!" The cloud shimmered and flickered...

    More paths rippled into existence on the dark ground. A path of freshly fallen snow. A gravel path. Highway tarmac. Forest undergrowth. Well-trodden grass. More paths, and still more. This wasn't a crossroads; it was chaos. "What do you mean 'call for help'?" asked Laura, head spinning. "Where...

    Threadmarks: Ch01: A Call for Help, A Gathering of Souls

    The space between worlds, shapeless and unknowable, has many names. The Astral Plains. Spirits' Edge. The Dream Lands. It is no physical location. One cannot simply walk there. It is the place where souls from different worlds may meet, whether living or dead. And when they do, the skin of...
