Chapter 112 Making Doors and Discoveries
For several minutes after her departure, Aoni stood staring off into the distance, searching for any sign of Nyria. Unfortunately, between the clouds and the blue skies peaking through, his fledgling was virtually invisible to his lackluster eyesight.
"Sigh, well, it's not like she can get lost; we do live at the highest point of the mountain," releasing a tired chuckle, Aoni tore his eyes away from the sky and grunted while examining his surroundings.
"What I'd give for a butler or maid who can run around taking care of tasks for me," with slumped shoulders, Aoni tossed away his depressive thoughts and entered the cave before retrieving his yardstick.
"Fucking stupid yardstick, couldn't even summon a stupid tape measure," one profanity after another spewed out of his mouth as the Lad began the challenging process of getting as precise of a measurement as possible for the mouth of the cave.
But that was when the first hiccup occurred...he was too short, and the yardstick wasn't long enough to reach the top of the cave's entrance.
Flaring his nostrils in frustration, Aoni began stacking random objects on the floor, using them as step stools, and after nearly falling to his death (not really) several times, he'd come up with as close of a measurement as possible.
Of course, unlike taking the measurements of a flat surface, Aoni ended up being forced into calculating the radius and several other dimensions before sitting down with his notebook and sketching.

THANKFULLY, after over an hour of looking between his notebook, the wall, and the cave's entrance, he exhaled a sigh of relief because the wall was actually a bit larger than the mouth. As such, all he would need to do is cut away the excess until it would fit the hole.@@@@
Now, some may wonder, if the wall was actually bigger than the cave's mouth, how was it possible for Aoni to get into the cave in the first place? And well, that's fairly simple; it was originally a bunch of logs, duh.
'I know for a fact that the entrance Glacia located was buried under snow, and while Nyria's Dynamic Vision could spot it, she is smart enough to locate the path leading from our cave down the mountain and to the Cavern.' Placing the hinges down on his desk, Aoni quickly spun around and left the cave before heading out onto the platform and looking in the direction he knew the cavern was located.
'Not to mention the fact that it's part of Glacia's routine to dig out that path daily, so she's already shown it off...that can only mean that either this is a second formation, which I highly doubt, or she found another entrance.'
'Anddd, of course, I can't ask her through the LoS yet, leaving me only one other choice,' cupping his hands around his mouth, Aoni began yelling instructions to Nyria for her to return.
Luckily, she must have been within earshot because no sooner did he finish yelling into the void of nothing than he got back a mental response.
'Okay, I'm not too far away, I'll head back now,'
Less than five minutes later, an overhead Chee drew the Lad's attention as he caught sight of his summon executing an aerial roll and flashing her white feathers toward him in a visual display he could recognize.
'Heh this girl, she knows it's hard for me to spot her from down here due to the color of her belly feathers, so she spun around like a fighter jet,' Shaking his head, Aoni extended out his right arm, like a giant perch, and with a final FWOOSHH FLAP, Nyria carefully landed like a trained falcon on his arm while being extremely careful not to slice him open with her impressively large talons.
"Sorry to cut your time short, but did you have fun on your mission?" Aoni asked, rubbing Nyria's head and giving her some around-the-beak scratches.
"Chee chee cccchhheee,"
'Yepyep, it's so pretty up there, and I found some stuff for my nest but had to leave them behind to return when you called.'
