VALENCIA’S POV
It was refreshing.
I would’ve never thought I would be vibing with a bird three times my size.
I was watching the big Argentavis drinking water from the lake on the hill while I was humming a song casually.
Though this bird wasn’t able to talk to me despite being a weird mythic creature that appeared out of nowhere, it was able to understand me just fine.
The bird was seriously acting like it was well-trained, and I didn’t know what to think of it anymore.
Once I was done drinking water, I was about to ask him to fly away when he suddenly looked at me, the emotions in his eyes, comforting as he walked to me.
Usually, I would’ve definitely felt slightly fearful of the creature, despite how docile it was, but my emotion-picking powers told me that the animal didn’t want to harm me at all, and I stood there with my heart beating strangely at a calming pace.
The bird walked to me before it ducked its head a little and rubbed my face with its head, almost making me stumble back and fall, but his feathers kept me from falling.
It was acting like a caring elder brother, and I know I was fucking losing my mind for thinking something like this.
Like, could my body and mind be called normal after thinking of a gigantic bird as akin to our family member?
It was doing something behind me.
I could feel it.
I turned around and looked at what it was writing from its feathers.
"My lord," the bird wrote, and I looked at it, surprised.
Did it just call me its lord? What the hell?
’Aurora, no more jokes. Tell me what is going on here? Have you really not summoned this creature? Why is it calling us its lord?’ I asked the one person who I expected to know more about these things than me, but luck wasn’t on my side as she just shrugged and I sighed.
I looked at the large bird who looked like it was waiting for some kind of appreciation.
I smiled awkwardly before nodding my head.
"There, there," I patted its head, and its eyes literally beamed.
I was about to ask the bird what its name was when, to my surprise, Aurora turned me into a cat, and I looked at the bird that was appearing even bigger in surprise.
However, I wasn’t the only one surprised.
The bird was so surprised that it stumbled back, making a loud sound as it fell down the cliff, making me widen my eyes.
’Aurora! What the fuck?!’ I looked at her in surprise.
’Well, I was just checking whether it knew about us or not. Judging from its reaction, I don’t think so,’ Aurora said as if that was the best way she could think of.
Seeing the proud smile on her face, I wanted to go to a library and read some books on werewolves to see if there was a way to smack your own wolf because, from all the way she acts, I swear she deserves a beating.
I rushed to the edge of the cliff to see if the bird died or what, but seeing it taking a sweep of large flight as it came right up, making me stumble back I sighed in relief while the bird stopped back in front of me.
’Aurora, let me transform back,’ I said to my so-called fake-wolf.
However, to my surprise, rather than agreeing to it, she smiled right in my face.
The bird kept looking at me for some time before it moved its feet on the ground to write something, and I furrowed my brows because I wasn’t able to read it due to distance and my size.
I walked to the area, feeling a bit warily because one little smack from the bird would throw me down the cliff.
"My lord, you are cute,"
The bird had written, and I huffed before looking at the bird with a glare.
Aurora was wheezing at my miseries inside me, and I swear this fake-wolf just finds any plausible way and timing to annoy me.
"I am not cute!" I shouted at the bird, but just like you guys must’ve noticed. What came out of my mouth was an angry hiss that sounded like - "Meow!"
I looked at my fake wolf angrily before looking at the bird that looked like it was minutes away from laughing at me.
All these animals were laughing at me.
Huff! I turned around angrily in my place, probably still looking cute as hell because of my small size before I walked to the other side, wanting to go back home already.
That bird followed me.
And no. It wasn’t flying.
It was walking behind me like it was some character from a creepy horror movie, and I stopped to look at it.
’Aurora, let me turn back. We can’t take this bird home. We got to tell the bird that it needed to leave us now,’ I said, and this time, Aurora didn’t say anything and let me turn back into my human form, making me sigh.
"Look, I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with me or my ancestor or whatever, but with your humongous size, you can’t come with me. You look like that extinct species and if anyone saw you, both you and I would get into trouble and ---what the hell?" I looked at the bird in utter surprise as it suddenly started to become small.
I watched it going from thrice my size to the size of my head, my jaws dropping at the sight.
’It’s not leaving us,’ Aurora said the obvious, and I scoffed at her.
Who the fuck would want to let go of this cute mysterious bird either?
"What’s your name? Can you hear me similarly even now?" I asked, wanting to know what other changes this change in size brought.
The bird flew to the side and grabbed a stick on its beak before writing something on the ground.
I crouched down to read what it was writing.
"The name you will give me," The bird said, and I melted then and there.
A mysterious magical bird was treating me better than the men in my life, I swear.
"Since you met me on the night I was feeling the most lonely, I will call you Happy. So your name from now on is Happy," I said.
’Only you will make a mythical creature Happy,’ Aurora mumbled under her breath, and I rolled my eyes before shrugging.
It was what it was.
