• 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?

    "Yeah, let's do it," Lyle said. "From what Shira and the other monks told me, using Radiance requires clearing your head to start with..." Lyle focused as faint flickers of that warmth from Radiance came over his body. He didn't know how it'd work out, but Steven had given him a newfound...

    Lyle stared back at Steven blankly for a moment. He just couldn't understand the 'mon. Why, the situation he'd described sounded downright hopeless. How on earth was he able to motivate himself to keep going even when everything seemed lost? He caught himself and realized that he might already...

    "... I might have. I'm not fully sure, but if I did it wasn't in a way that most others would understand a Legendary Pokémon. Why? Where are you going with this?"

    Lyle paused briefly, before giving his head a puzzled tilt. "Do you have personal experience with this or something?" he asked. "In my life, I've had to size up odds in order to survive, and I'm just not sure how to reconcile this idea of trying something where you know the odds are that you'll...

    "I mean, back in my own world, there was a huge war going on and I got myself into a situation where I wound up having to steal to survive. So I guess to answer your question, I just didn't see a point in trying," Lyle explained. "Everything going on seemed so beyond the ability of me or any one...

    "I... guess that that's something you'd only know from trying to get something you desired for long and hard enough," Lyle said. "Though I guess I can see the logic." He trailed off after noticing Steven's change in mood, and couldn't help but wonder. "Though you seemed to have something on...

    "I... mean, I suppose you're not wrong there," Lyle replied. "It's a little jarring to hear some of others talk about their 'normal life' and how it sounds so... peaceful." "Er... well, yeah," he said. "Maybe it's just an artifact of how I was raised, but Pokémon where I live are sometimes...

    "Er... not quite. It was a thing from this trial at Tempelfell Cavern where we were supposed to try and think of a complementing truth and ideal to get past a set of statues," Lyle explained. He trailed off, and pawed at his shoulder flusteredly. "I... guess that sounds kinda petty and stupid...

    "I suppose that I talked with a few of them, but not really at depth," Lyle said. "I've been a bit distracted by preparing for my journey, and I suppose I've had a few things on my-" Lyle trailed off after seeing a slip of paper start to flutter out of his bag with the wind. He abruptly flared...

    'Act with conviction, and it will come to you'? All this time, Lyle had been trying so hard to focus and latch onto that radiant power whenever he wanted to try to use it, yet he could only feel it sometimes when he tried. Could he have been overlooking a simpler step to things all this time...

    "I mean, I think that I felt something of it before. But I dunno, everyone just tells me to close my eyes and focus, but I don't feel that power in me half the time." Lyle hadn't considered the idea of being nervous potentially holding him back. Though he had to admit that he'd been a bit...

    "Yeah, I suppose," Lyle said. "It's a bit strange for me sometimes thinking that I've got this body again, since before I came here, I'd outgrown it a few years ago." "I actually was more here to go and see more of the world a bit farther into the boonies," he said. "I suppose that I've...

    Lyle briefly flared up at the sound of something akin to grating metal and turned to see a Metang floating by him. He blinked briefly, before realizing from the fact that the Metang knew his name that this was probably... "... Wait, are you that Steven 'mon from the Wayfarers?" he asked. "When...

    Threadmarks: Ch05: Lyle & Steven - A Tête-à-Tête With a Side of Honey

    Lyle sat among the apiary terraces with a small bag of berries as the monks and beekeepers tended to the various beehives and plots, gleanings for the next leg of that trip westwards along with Rodion and whoever they could talk into coming along, even if a part of him was a bit doubtful they'd...
