Welcome!

This is my first story that's not a one-shot, so I'll need a lot of encouragement(Wink wink nudge nudge)

AN: I know it's short, but it's the prologue; those things are always short (At least in my world) I also probably mixed some scenes around (Only saw the movie twice) but hopefully everything will happen, one way or another. One more thing before I shut up and let you read my crappy story: I have absolutely nothing against Veronica, I personally think they make a great couple. However, this idea is the worst at getting itself completely glued into my brain.

Summary: When there's a twin added to the equation of a witty sorcerer and a geeky apprentice, who knows what could go wrong? Troubled true love? Mistaken identities? Even for a star literary and physics student, things get complicated. Could end up a Balthazar OC

Disclaimer: I don't own the Sorcerer's Apprentice! *shoots plasma bolt out window* but I unfortunately own that window *sigh*

The Twin

Prologue

The war between sorcerers had been fought in the shadows of history. The balance had always been held up by the great and powerful Merlin. In AD 740, Merlin had three apprentices: Balthazar, Veronica, and Horvath. He should have trusted only two.

Horvath joined forces with Merlin's most deadly enemy, Morgana Le Faye. Morgana, searching for magic's most dangerous spell, called The Rising, mortally wounded Merlin before Balthazar and Veronica could stop her. Morgana attempted to kill Balthazar, but was stopped by Veronica, who drew Morgana's soul into her own body. But Morgana began to kill her from the inside.

To save Veronica's life, and to trap Morgana, Balthazar captured them both in the Grimhold, an inescapable prison.

As Merlin lay dying, he gave his remaining apprentice his dragon ring and told him it would help him to find the Prime Merlinian, Merlin's successor.

"The Prime Merlinian is the only one who can defeat Morgana," Merlin gasped.

Balthazar nodded, then moved to stand.

"Wait!" Merlin whispered. "You will be rewarded for this quest."

"I ask for nothing but to serve you, Master," Balthazar humbly replied.

"You will find love, my apprentice, but"-he coughed- "not with your dear Veronica. I have foreseen it so."

"Thank you, Master, but-" Balthazar looked up, but Merlin was already gone.

Balthazar let out a single tear. The tear was for Merlin's death, Veronica's sacrifice, Horvath's betrayal, and for every single one of the people that had died that night. That one tear was the last one he would cry for over a thousand years.

Throughout history, Balthazar imprisoned many Morganians, and every one tried to set Morgana free. Eventually, he caught Horvath himself.

Balthazar searched tirelessly for the Prime Merlinian, until one day, in the year 1985, he felt an odd jolt in his chest, and he knew something big was coming.

May 5th, 1985, Sarasota, Florida; 7:07 PM, In a hospital

White. All there was, was white.

Suddenly, the sound of a screaming baby permeated the colorless air.

First the boy, a perfect ten , came out wailing, blue eyes opening to take on the world. He was an amazingly cute child, bald and blue-eyed. He was also normal, excepting two things: the knowing expression in his eyes and a birthmark of a circle on his left hip.

As he rested in his mothers' arms, she said, "David", and the baby was swept away to be cleaned. The doctor went back to work.

Twenty minutes later, he pulled out a beautiful baby girl, another perfect ten. The adorable girl had a tuft of red hair matted to her head, and she was smiling.

But something was wrong.

The baby wasn't making a sound, and she had capricious marking on her right hip. It was the same birthmark as her brother, though hers was more apparent. Maybe it had been the amount of blood on the other child; this baby was barely bloody at all. The mark was a circle, inside which there was seven circles. The six circles on the outside had bizarre markings in them, each separated by a line that led to a singular circle in the middle: a plain one except in that it had one smaller circle inside of it.

The markings in the six surrounding circles seemed to be symbols: slash marks, connecting circles, and two signs that looked a lot like the number four.

When the baby's eyes opened a few seconds later, another odd thing was noticed; they were green. The most beautiful shade of green you'd ever seen, but still green.

"There is something wrong with your child, m'am," the doctor worriedly spoke to the mother. "She's not screaming, there's some sort of birthmark on her right hip, her eyes are the wrong color…"

But soon the problems were explained away, however shakily, and the healthy girl was deposited into her mother's arms.

"Isadora," she whispered softly.

The doctor gave her a curious look, but proceeded to write the name down. 'Odd name for an odd girl, I suppose,' he shrugged.

"My Isadora," the lady sighed, while the silent child stared unblinkingly into her mother's brown eyes.

Four things:

1: If you didn't get what was on her hip…. You'll find out later! (But seriously, if you saw the movie, what was the circle with all the crazy markings in it?)

2: I know her name's weird, but there's a reason for it. (Even if it's just so I can give her the nickname Izzie and not use overused names like Isabel or Isabella)

3: I really don't know how babies are born these days; all the experience I have is watching Episode 3 in Star Wars.

4: Review!
