Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme!

By reason of exhaustion or simply being overwhelmed, Aoni stayed unconscious for several hours, unknowingly. Which, given everything he had experienced in such a short time, was kind of to be expected, considering his metaphorical batteries needed a recharge.

When his eyes finally began to flutter open, the first thing he noticed was a stiffness in his back, along with the fact that he was lying on the floor.

"Ugh, how long was I out for…" Propping himself up on his arms and looking around the room, Aoni's eyes drifted from the floor to the ceiling before settling on a certain portion of the wall, and he released a sigh.

"Fantastic, I was thrown hard enough that I put a hole in my brand new wall…" With dead fish eyes, the first thing he decided to do was….Completely ignore everything so that he can check on his summons.

Broken walls, meh, those can be fixed anytime; however, the not one but TWO summons, who more than likely were wide awake now, were something he couldn't ignore.

Struggling to get to his feet, the lad settled on using the wall as a brace long enough to get himself stabilized, then walked across the cave to the bedroom.

'I hope they're ok; my head is such a mess that I can't utilize the LoS very well, so apart from knowing that they both are alive, everything else is kind of off the table.' Stumbling around and using the doorframe as a means to hold himself upright, Aoni stuck his head into the room and noticed two pairs of emerald eyes looking in his direction with apparent concern.

"GAO!"@@novelbin@@

"CH…HEEEE!"

Of course, their reactions were complete opposites because the moment Glacia saw him, She launched her body with such speed that she entered furry missile mode, accidentally sending poor Nyria flapping as she was knocked over.

Thus, while Glacia's Gao was one of happiness to see him, Nyria's chee was more of an "OH SHIT, I'M GOIN DOWN" reaction.

"OOF, glad to see you are alright, Glacia. " Wearing a smile, Aoni raised his arms just in time to reduce the impact of his floof, tackling his chest with enough force that if he hadn't taken a step back, they could have ended up on the floor.

"Gaooo, gaooooo, ooOoo," snuggling her head into her lord, Glacia's sounds were akin to a whimper as she resisted the urge to bap him repeatedly for worrying her so much.

Meanwhile, all the lad could do was pet her with one hand while moving the sheet metal aside with his other arm. Then, while hugging his floof, Aoni made his way to the edge of the bed and sat down while staying a certain distance away from Nyria so as not to startle her.

"I know, I was dumb again, but hey, im totally fine, see," Flexing his free hand, the lad noticed Glacia watching his every movement with sharp eyes. With a soft chuckle, he moved the floof to her favorite spot, his right shoulder, and turned his attention toward the weary Nyria.

"I hope you slept well, Nyria; I know it will take time for us to get used to each other…" Before the lad could continue his introduction, the voice of a young girl entered his mind, cutting him off.

'N…Nyr…ia?' Tilting her head to the side and releasing a slight chirp, the young fledgling looked up at Aoni and even Glacia before making a face like she was trying to figure out the meaning of the word.

Thanks to the effects of the Link of Subordination, she knew it was her name, but it still felt strange to her.

"Yes, Nyria. Do you not like the name?" Aoni asked gently, observing how she acted and trying his best not to show any odd expression upon hearing her in his head.

'I….Nyr…ia?' opening and closing her beak a couple of times, Nyria fluffed her feathers and sat up before questioning her new lord.

"Yes, that's the name I came up with for you; it can mean many things, like princess, flower, or even snow or ice. I felt it fit you perfectly." Nodding his head and giving her a reassuring smile, Aoni waited for her to finish digesting the information.

'Pr…pretty,' coming to terms with her new name, there was a faint sparkle in Nyria's emerald eyes as she looked from Aoni to Glacia as if asking the obvious question to them.

"Ah, right, this little fluff ball is your new Big Sister, Glacia, and I'm Aoni; I know things may be scary or overwhelming, but I'm a Lord, and this here is your new home."

'Home…' Upon hearing the word home, the young fledgling looked saddened; however, she couldn't understand why.

Aoni, on the other hand, knew it was a direct result of her memory loss by being summoned, so he was careful about how he approached the subject.

"Yep, home, this is the place we sleep, eat, and spend time together, and outside the cave is my Territory, or land; it may not seem like much now, but im sure you'll like it because there's plenty of trees, snow, and stuff to do, plus we are even at the top of a tall mountain." Trying to give a positive outlook on his territory to Nyria, Aoni became animated, moving his arms around and acting much like how he does when trying to teach Glacia something new….minus the picture book, of course.

Mind you, by moving around as much as he was, Glacia got tossed about a bit, and having had enough, she jumped up, bapped him on the head, and tumbled onto the bed.

"Gaoooo Gaoo," ignoring Aoni, who was laughing to the point of tears, Glacia spun around and addressed her little sister.

"Cheee?"

"ooOo Gao Gaooo,"

"Che cheee chee"

'Why do I feel like a third wheel? It was bad enough when it was just me she was babbling to; meh, at least they seem to be getting along.' Wearing a soft smile and putting his back against the corner, Aoni watched as Glacia and Nyria talked in their little language.

From time to time, Glacia would get a little hyper, but it didn't seem to matter to Nyria, who appeared to be enjoying having someone to talk to.

Eventually, they had been talking for some time, to the point where Aoni had dazed off, only to realize both of them were staring at him expectantly.

"what…is there something on my face?"

"Chuff, GAooooooooooooo!" Releasing an annoyed chuff, Glacia pointed at her belly for a moment, then Nyria's, and opened her mouth to say her version of "Ahhhh."

"Oh…food, gotcha,"
