Strange Magic

Finally

Ten years had passed and Tiberius was now 13. It was a cold and dreary December morning when a new couple looking to adopt a child came in. Tiberius didn't usually pay attention to the people who walked in because he wasn't wanted but this pair caught his eye. Usually a mom and dad came in but this time it was two dads. The other kids backed away from the two men, because in the town of Gilant it was a sin to be with someone of the same gender. The other kids looked teriffied but Tiberius didn't mind and actually found the couple interesting. The taller of the two men had auburn hair and a very chiseled jawline with kind hazel eyes but seemed to be very quite and couldn't have been much older than thirty. The shorter man had jet black hair and sharp olive green eyes that seemed to be clouded over by thought and memory, he also couldn't have been much older than thirty.

The shorter man looked around to see Tiberius sitting in a corner to the far right staring over the top of his book. Noticing that he had been caught, Tiberius quickly casted his eyes back down to his book. The man gave out a small chuckle, taped his partner on the shoulder and started walking over to the small boy.

"Hey there, what are you reading?" The man asked. Surprised Tiberius's eyes changed from a lavender purple to a calm blue. The man was not at all taken back by this.
"White wolf." He said as he looked down ashamed of his eyes.
" I love that book and my husband does to, also your eyes are very unique, what is your name?" The man asked in a very soft voice. Tiberius looked up to see that both men were now sitting on the ground with him.

"Tiberius Andrew Graywall sir and yours?" He said his voice a little shy. The two men gave a little smile. The taller man awnsered first.
" My name is Finn Markel." Finn said.
" And I'm Miguel Markel." Miguel said bright eyed.

" I see you've met Tiberius. " An adoption agent said.
" Yes we have is he up for adoption? " Miguel asked.

With this Tiberius' eyes turned a bright turquoise and something like deep white flames elumanated from his hands. The agent jumped back a little with fear in her eyes. Tiberius quikly droped his book as he tried to control his hands. Finn reached over and encased Tiberius' hands in his and calmed the flames down, as his eyes turned to there original shade of lavender.

"So is he up for adoption, mame?" Miguel asked once again.
" Why yes he is. But he has many health issues and is a very um...... unique child." The agent said.

Miguel turned to Finn then looked back at Tiberius.
" How would you like to be our son?" Finn asked, and with this Tiberius jumped up, dropped his book and hugged his new dad's.
Tiberius embraced them tightly as tears of joy fell from his eyes.

Around them you could hear gasps of surprise, and
Standing up Tiberius came up to mid stomach on both his new dad's. He was short for his age only about 5foot, 6 inches.
" I'll take that as a yes, then."Finn exclaimed. Looking up Tiberius saw that Finn's eyes had changed from the usual hazel to a suttle amber.

Tiberius was taken a bit back by this, in more of surprise then anything else. Nonetheless he was happy he was finally, finally being adopted. The three followed the agent into her office. The other children gasped and some snarled in disgust, Tiberius could hear them he just didn't care. The paper work took about an hour to complete with a few questions. But before he knew it, he was running up the stairs to the third floor. As he just reached the first floor landing his asthma started acting up, taking the next set slower as he remembered he left his inhaler on the first floor. Tiberius could feel his lungs compresing in his chest. Tiberius hated this feeling, it mad him feel as if he was dying.

"Come on. Few more steps little longer." He thought to himself as he reached the bottom of the last flight of stairs. Still having a. Hard time breathing he reached his room and made a beeline for the the three inhalers on his desk. One by one he twisted them and took his dosages.
His air ways slowly opened but took a little longer than what it should have. It also didn't help that his lungs were to small for his body mass . Slowly his breathing became normal and he quickly packed the few belongings he owned. A small backpack was all he had worth of belongings, it held a few pairs of old clothes, a set of water color paints, his puffers and a few books. Closing the bag Tiberius stood up and looked around the room. It was a small, with pale blue walls, and a small window on the far right corner.

To the left hand side was an old oak desk and on the back wall laid his bed. It had a pale green bed set. Looking around the now bare room he smiled as he closed the door and made his way back down the stairs. Miguel had been waiting at the bottom to take his bags but was shocked to see that he only had one bag with him.
" Is that all you got bud?" Miguel asked. Shyly he noded.
" Okay well get some stuff." Finn said. With that they left.
