Claimers, Disclaimers blahblah.
I do not own MapleStory, its NPCs, Jobs, Monsters, Areas or Quests.
What I do own however, are my fictive characters Shadow, Ithildir, Legurin, Blade, Kaye, Aerien and loads more to come.
So, ever since I found out MapleStory was finally getting some sort of story plot, I got kind of curious, and excited. I've played Beta, but until the Black Mage appeared with the Big Bang patch, I've always felt that I was missing something. Now MapleStory has finally given me a story plot to play around with!
I've edited some things, as they are a remainder of my past fanfics and I've grown to like my edits.
For the rest, I'm hoping to stick to the original plots of the continents, heroes etc.
As a Beta player, I've also decided to add some Beta-memories.. Hehe..
This is about my first serious attempt at writing a Maple fanfic, and I'm no native speaker either, so please be nice..
Enough babbling. Here you go! And yeah I know its short. It might be messy at times - I'm a nocturnal writer. I'll edit it soon enough.
Whispers and prayers sounded..
The sky was colored a deep orange-red from the debris of destruction which obscured the setting sun.
The land was barren, tainted with the magic of a single man.
People could sense the coming evil, and it shook them with fear. At once, all noises died down.
Their only hope was with the heroes who would battle against the cause of chaos and pain once again. They were strong and experienced, and many monsters had died at their hands. They carried only the best equipment, any less would not do.
Darkness approached, and one of the heroes averted her dark eyes, waiting for the cause of terror to appear. She tightened her grip on her staff, turning her knuckles white.
"Get out!" a voice yelled, and people ran out, yelling in fear.
A flaming arrow suddenly shot out towards the approaching danger, lighting the place.
The warriors lowered their center of gravity once they noticed the person approaching.
He was hulled in black robes, and cold, grey eyes glinted in the dark. They all could sense the power he possessed, and it sent a cold shiver down their backs.
"This is your final battle." One of the heroes then lowly growled, and a low chuckle sounded.
"I would think different."
Powerful spells suddenly traveled to the hunters, and they quickly scattered, knowing that if only one spell hit home, they would be out of the battle.
A wall of dark purple flames quickly set fire to the dead grasses that once coated the warriors' homelands with a thick, green blanket.
A handful of warriors had not been on time with leaping out of the way, and the dark flames hungrily licked at their flesh, drawing cries of pain.
Arrows and stars were shot at the mage, and with a flick of his wrist, he deflected them, making it seem as if a magnet had pulled them out of his path.
The heroes kept attacking, even though the mage cleverly managed to block every single attack.
Swords were swung at the mage, but he merely twisted his body to the side with inhuman speed.
Spears were jabbed at the mage, but it was as if he had an impregnable field around him.
One by one, he brought the heroes down with a powerful spell, making it seem as if this was child's play.
Wolves snarled, lunging at the mage when a mighty pole-arm wielder shouted, but with a brief glance of the mage, they all fell onto the cold floor, dead.
Despite the heroes' efforts, more people began to fall, and with a silent snarl, the leader of the group called his friends back.
With only few heroes left, they decided that they could not ensure the safety of their people, and they sent their people away to an island named Victoria before the five legendary hunters would challenge the mage once again.
But when the group did not return, their friends grew worried, and disobeying their friends, they left in search of their friends.
They could not find the five legends, but did encounter the mage, weak of the battle.
With a low snarl, the friends lunged, willing to die to avenge their heroes.
Their foolishness saved the world and their loved ones, but they paid for it with their lives..
But the mage was not gone.. There was a prophecy of his return, and his reign would always leave an impact on the world..
