Third Person POV

As the chanting began Hadrians body began to lift off the slab he lay on, his hair seemed suspended in time and he almost looked angelic until a scream peirced the air. Tom and Severus stood holding each other fighting all of their instincts to run to their little mate. The goblin healers, Narcissa and the high priestess who was leading them seemed to all be fighting against an unseen force. Wind and magic swirled through the air making the air heavy and almost metalic smelling. This continued for what felt like days but was really 2 hours, until an audible snap was heard and Hadrian collapsed against the table.

All Hell seemed to break loose at that moment. Hades body began to convulse and the women were thrown back into the walls as an energy wave was released that shook all of gringotts. The bind on the magic had been broken and the leech removed but the power coursing through Hades body was more than anyone anticipated. The magical barrier holding Tom and Severus snapped as both men transformed unconciously and were immediately at their mates side unaffected by the magic holding everyone else back. They instinctively shed their tattered robes and laid down with their mate skin to skin as he fought internally to control the magic spike coursing through his veins. Tom and Severus both at touching Hadrian were sucked into his mind scape.

The men were met with a site they would never forget. Huddled in the corner was a little boy scared and alone rocking back and forth begging to not be hurt that he would be good. The room they were standing in was continually morphing from a cubbard under a set of stairs, to a kitchen, to a yard, to Harry's nursery, to the headmaster office and what seemed to be any other place Hadrian had been hurt. Both men got their bearings as best as possible and rushed to their mate enveloping him in their arms and wings. Severus began to purr a soothing sound as Tom murmered in Hades ear softly that he was safe, that they were there with him and that they would protect him with everything they had, that those who hurt him would pay. Slowly Hadrian lifted his head and nuzzled into Tom and then Severus.

Tom seemed to come to his senses first. "Hadrian my love your magic is trying to bring down all of Gringotts you need to find your center and reel it back in. Once we complete our bond we will all three share magic and it will become easier but for now I need you to think happy thoughts, think of our time cuddling, of flying, your favorite sweets, of our future and what you want. Come back to us my little love." The fog seemed to clear and the room began to solidify. Hadrian was coming back to himself slowly. With a gasp all three mates eyes came open. Tom sat up to look around, the women were all standing now looking exhausted. The door burst open and Ironclaw and the Goblin King strode in.

Riphook the king spoke first "Ladies I take it things did not go as planned" Healer Sky was the first to recover. She approached the king with a slight bow "Husband dear our young Hadrian here has power this world has not seen since the days of Merlin and Arthur our seers spoke of a great power to come I believe we have found it!" Riphook chuckled at this. "Why am I not surprised, a child taken of false prophecy returned to his kin with the power to change the world" I have evacuated all of the bank with the exclusion of goblins and the medical wing. We will need to contain this to our people only, for now"

Healer Sky looked over to see the three men staring. Tom spoke first "what do you mean power that hasn't been seen since merlin? False prophesy?" She grinned "Hadrian here at this time has power levels reading well over a 1000 and once his inheritance is finished and we can finish healing his body and core as well as purging his system he will have power close to 1500 the strongest on record is merlin him self at 1000. With the triad bond you will all share power and all three of you will have similar power levels. Now we must hurry and get Hadrian to the nest his inheritance will start any moment. You will need to continue the skin to skin contact as the initial soul bonds begin to take shape. You will all have the urge to seal the bond. You will have to refrain from a full sealing as his body is not ready yet. You will have the urge to mark each other that can not be done under any circumstances! You may pleasure each other with out penetraition and with out the bonding mark but do not seal the bond. We will leave you here for the next 48 hours the nest is in a healing bubble that will strengthen all of your bodies. If you are in need of anything please call for gypsy she will bring food and water and anything else you my need. After the 48 hours we will preform one more ritual that will finish the healing and purge his system. Once all of the steps are completed it is likely Hadrian will experience his first heat. I suggest you plan to get him home where he can build his own nest and lock down your wards that is when you can seal your bond." As she finished her directions Hadrian began to moan and thrash his inheritance was starting. Tom jumped into action grabbing up his smallest mate and taking him to the nest followed closely by Severus. Tom looked to Narsissa, "Cissy can you please go to my Manor and let the elves know what is happening and have them be prepared with foods, blankets, pillows, anything they can think of that we will need, also let Lucius know what is happening under a vow and let him know he is in charge while I am out for the next week or so. I will contact you both when his heat has passed. Ask Missy to lock down the wards to anyone that is not me or my mates. Have her close the floo behind you we will port key home." Cissy smiled, "of course my lord, on one condition" "and what is that?" Tom smirked. " I get to take your young mate shopping when he is through all of this" " Of course Cissy if he agrees" Tom smiled as she giggled and swept out of the room. Tom's attention was returned to his mates looking down he saw Severus sitting up in the nest running his fingers through Hades hair and soothing him as his body twitched. Tom moved to the other side snuggling in close to Hadrian he put his hand over Severus's and said "Love we should try to rest there isn't much we can do during this stage his body will make the changes as he sleeps." With that both men snuggled close to their mate pulling a large blanket over all three of them. Tom and Severus had both lightly dozed off for maybe an hour when the full transition started. Hadrian began whimpering and crying out as he writhed around. Both men having been through this before sat back to monitor him. Tom wrapped his arms around severus for comfort as they waited. Hadrians hair seemed to grow in a flash now down past the top of his butt, changing color to be a combination of jet black and a deep blood red tone. His skin got pailer but seemed to glow almost looking healthier, they could see some of the scars disappearing and were both relieved as they knew what it was like to live with the proof of abuse on their bodies. He also seemed to grow just a touch while giving a more feminine appearance his shape more hourglass and his facial features softening, his lips plumping and his ears elongating looking more wolf than human. He also sprouted a long fluffy black tail and finally wings they seemed to crackle with energy and dance like flames they were predominantly black with red tips and veins of silver and red running through out. His wings although large still seemed delicate and feminine. Suddenly Hadrian curled in on him self gasping and writhing. Severus finally spoke, "I belive this is the stage where is reproductive organs grow he will gain a birth canal and uterus but should otherwise be unchanged." Tom pondered this he had read the same information years ago but seeing everything happen he had no idea the pain his mate would be in. As fast as it began it was finished. Hadrian seemed to melt back into the nest of pillows and blankets letting out a soft chirp followed by a purr like noise and then hissing " Tom, Sev ..... need you" then he seemed to pass out. Tom and Severus moved to cocoon their smallest mate. Severus wispered sleep my loves and all three mates drifted off.
