It was chaos, this shouldn't be happening, it couldn't be happening- there was yelling and fighting all around him. His boys- his sons that mean the world to him are scattered in the freezing snow, weapons drawn and some forced away from their hand. Their enemies had finally found the adopted family, seeking blood and revenge.
It was all too much for Philza, the winged man on the verge of a panic attack as he had come out of the shared house to see his family being attacked.
Then, something deep inside Philza burned- something he had pushed away and kept down since his sons we’re toddlers, not wanting them to fear their father. But now was the time. Now they needed to be protected and he was the only one that could defend them.
With his hands gripped into his hair under his hat he let the burning take over him. The world blurred as the change overtook him, having repressed it for so long making the transition harsh and sudden on the winged man's body.
Around him was utter, stunned silence. The people who dared attacked his family looked up in shock at the now 30 foot tall Philza, who glared down at them in anger. Even his sons were stunned to silence, having never seen their dad capable of possessing such a power.
Then, simply thinking on instinct, Philza bared his now wickedly sharp teeth and growled out a single “LEAVE” to the humans and they ran, clearly fearing for their life at the sight of a sudden giant.
He watched them go, glaring all the way. He realized it was still oddly silent. He flicked his gaze back down to his sons, his sons who were practically at his feet and only twice the size of his hand. His eyes instantly softened seeing them, as he moved to crouch down to be more level with the three of them. At this though, all three of his sons flinched back reactively. Tommy backing up, Wilbur and Techno just wincing at the sudden movement, although it was relatively gentle.
Philza looked heartbroken at scaring his sons, his large wings fluffing up slightly in worry behind him. Wilbur was the first to snap out of it, seeing how worried his father looked.
“Dad?....Phil? What’s- what is even happening the fuck-” Wilbur stammered blutly, blatenly staring up at his parents face.
“Could you always do this?!” Techno yelled, stepping closer, realizing it was safe, this was their dad, of course they are safe with him. Techno looked back to Tommy who was still a few feet away looking stunned. “Tommy- come ‘ere. It’s…..it’s just dad, we’re safe-” he spoke, sounding like he was reassuring himself along with his youngest brother. Tommy nodded and gulped, stepping closer and looking up at his fathers face.
As gently as he could, Philza lowered a hand towards his children, easily most of their size in height. It cupped around them, slowly coming closer over the snow until it reached their backs, carefully pushing Tommy towards his two older brothers. He brought his other hand to meet them as slightly wandering gazes met his hands, and carefully scooped the three up, bringing them close to his broad chest.
The three stared in wonder at the large black and green fabric in front of them across their fathers chest, now easily 5-10 times bigger than their own bodies. Tiny hands traversed the fabric, up, down and across. Phil gently smiled down at his sons as they looked on in amazement at his new form. Gently bringing his fingers to the top of their heads and carefully rubbing their soft hair, he vowed to keep them safe at any cost.
