Two forgotten sorceresses
Hi! Snoodleyturtle and Tora n tsume here! We absolutely love the movie Sorcerer's Apprentice so we made our own sorceresses. This story is about our characters throughout, before, and after the movie's time frame. Disclaimer: we (sadly) do not own any characters besides Gracelyn and Tristan. So this is our first chapter and it is about Gracelyn. Enjoy!
Chapter one: Gracelyn is received
The wind and rain crashed into the windows as Merlin taught his three trusted apprentices, Balthazar, Veronica, and Horvath how to levitate and defy gravity enough to be able to climb walls and hang from the ceiling. Veronica had succeeded, for it was easy to her, but Horvath and Balthazar were failing miserably. "Ha! This is so simple Master" Veronica bragged to Merlin. "I do not know why the other two are failing at this task."
"All in good time; this spell takes much practice," Merlin replied to save the other apprentices from further humiliation as he continued to read through his Encantus. Suddenly the wind shook the door of the building so ferociously that it was forced open. All three apprentices who were now all hanging from the ceiling dropped to the floor in surprise. As the apprentices lay in a heap, Merlin shut the door. When doing so, Merlin stumbled over a lump of cloth that had apparently had been blown in. He picked it up, and to his utter astonishment he found a little baby girl with piercing blue eyes. Around her neck was an engraved pendant and clutched in the baby's hand was a tiny rose bud. By this time the apprentices had reassembled themselves and had crowded their master to see the mysterious lump.
"Ohh! A Baby! Can we keep her?" Squealed Veronica. She loved kids, especially babies, and she dearly wanted some of her own someday. The two boy apprentices were not as impressed but Balthazar thought that if Veronica liked this baby and wanted to keep it than he wasn't going to say no. Trying to look as interested as she did Balthazar asked, "Do we know what her name is?" All of them stood and thought of the answer until Horvath answered hastily, "It is on her pendant; look it says Gracelyn Jane Wilk." He did not understand babies and he just wanted to throw her back outside, but of course, Veronica was interested and he did not want to disappoint her.
"Aww, what a beautiful name!" Veronica admired as she took the now-awake-and-crying baby out of Merlin's hands. "Hmmmm, I know! She needs to be a part of our sorcerer family!" Veronica said indicating that she feels that her master and fellow colleges were like family to her. After considering her options, she announced, "Let us make her name Gracelyn Jane Blake instead, for that is the best last name of our group. Both Balthazar and Veronica blushed, and Horvath seethed with anger; Veronica had picked Balthazar's last name for the child, not his.
"Very well, now back to training", Merlin said, interrupting an almost outburst from Horvath. "That is quite enough excitement for one night", he continued as he climbed up a wall and hung on the ceiling, anticipating his apprentices to follow him and to currently forget the baby that fate had put in to their care.
