★ P R O L O G U E ★

Living for almost 500 years Merlin is proud to say he's seen and done many things. Although nothing this world had to offer could have ever prepared him in looking after the last decedents of Arthur and Eden Pendragon.

After his sister's tragic death Merlin had made a point on keeping tabs on the pendragon line whilst waiting for Arthur's return. In doing this Merlin found the last family baring the noble name of Pendragon died in a house fire leaving only the newborn twins orphaned. After hearing this Merlin made the ultimate decision to raise the twins- Of course he did this without realizing both twins carried the gift of magic.

Oh may god be with them.

DARKNESS BLANKED OVER THE SMALL FOREST IN SCOTLAND WHERE THREE MAGICAL BEINGS RESIND IN A SMALL COTTAGE. Starlight glisten through the small window of the shared room of the twins Anistoria and Flora. The twins locked eyes with each other from their beds waiting for their elderly uncle to come and check on them so they could start their plan. A patter of footsteps echoed off the wooden floors of the cottage alerting the twins of their on coming uncle casing them to quickly screw their eyes shut.

Opening the door to the room Merlin looked in at the seemingly sleeping forms of his young nieces. With an amused shake of the head Merlin left the girls to find comfort in his own bed whilst hoping to fall in a blissful sleep unplagued nightmares of his passed life. The girls counted to a minute ten times before leaving the comfort of their beds. "Are you sure about this Flora?" Anistoria asked in a hushed voice, with hesitation clear in her voice.

While making the plan it seemed fun, but now looking at the dark forest Anistoria couldn't help but wonder what monsters might lurk in the woods. "It'll be fun," Flora promised grabbing onto her twins arm tugging her with her leaving no room to back out. The two tip toed passed their Uncle's room, both putting hands over their mouths to contain their childish laughter at the sound of his loud snoring.

Upon reaching the front door the eight year olds took one last glace at their Uncle's door half expecting him to jump out and drag them both back to bed. Opening the door as quietly as possible the two made their way outside hand in hand running to the tree line of the forest that surrounded the cottage.

Sitting down on the dirt floor Anistoria glanced back at the cottage before turning her full attention to her sister. "What did you want to show me?" Anistoria asked her twin twisting a string of her light blonde hair. Flora looked around as if checking to see if anyone was listening in on them before leaning closer to her sister whispering.

"Watch this,"

Flora then cupped a clump of dirt in her hands raising it up to her face before staring at it intently. Suddenly her eyes flashed a golden color and a beautiful flower grew from the dirt in her palms. "wow," Anistoria sighed dreamily at the pretty flower raising one finger to touch the soft petal. "I know you should try!" Flora egged her sister, who then shot her bewildered look.

"I can't do that!" She stated firmly enticing a giggle from her twin. "Of course you can, all you have to do is try Tori." Flora said setting down her flower picking up some more dirt, placing it in her sisters hands. Huffing loudly Anistoria raised the dirt up to her face like her sister had done and stared intently into the dirt willing a flower to bloom from it.

And just like that a blood red lily bloomed from within her pile of dirt
