The first Maple Fanfic written by TrojanPony.

Hi guys. Some of you might remember me as the one who wrote the deleted "Hero's Dragon" for Runescape. Well, having switched to Maple a decently long time ago, I have decided to start a Maple fanfic, which is why you are here reading this in the first place. Well, enough about me, lets continue on to the fanfic.

By the way, I'm Lv 30 Fire-Poison, in MapleSea-Bootes.

What I am writing is pure baloney. Don't sue me.

Also, don't blame me if the info about equips and skills are wrong. I'm only Lv 30.

Chapter 1

Many many years have passed since the founding of this virtual world. The Maple Craze had long swept throughout the world. Though many people have stopped their Mapling soon after the next latest game hit the streets, for one person his adventure was just beginning, an adventure far greater then what he had ever guessed when he was born one snowy Monday night.

It was a cold night, much too cold. Jagged ice crystals larger than golf balls rained down from a dark cloud covering almost the whole of Victoria Island. The falling ice lay down a shower of bone numbing death on the unlucky adventurers without a roof on their heads.

The level Fire-Poison Archmage swore as he tried to make some headway through the waist deep layer of ice and snow. He raised his staff over his head and cast a sort of fire shield, and then used Explosion to clear the land around him. He continued doing that until he ran out of mana. Sighing, he hunched deeper into his robes and tried to go as fast as possible, while dodging the ice crystals that do him a fair bit of damage. He looked up and noticed that he was at Hill East of Henesys. Nearby, a level 24 was sitting on a chair, seemingly oblivious to the hail battering the life out of his body. As he watched, the level 24 died, a tombstone fell from the sky, striking a female Warrior on the head. She fell facedown into the snow, unconscious.

The hooded Archmage hesitated, then jumped up, and started dragging the Warrior towards town, sheltering them as best as he could with a fire shield made from his limited mana.

In Town, all the houses were filled to overflowing with people trying to escape the freak storm. Seeing that no space was left, he immediately went to the nearest shelter he could think of, the kennel near Bruce.

Cramped into a kennel, with a playful dog licking at her face, she woke up. Outside the safety of the kennel, ice shards pounded at the snow-covered floor. Wearing her helmet, she peered outside, hoping to get a glimpse of what was happening. She saw a mage casting a sort of fire shield above him, making the ice that fell above him melt. From the number of empty bottles around him, he must have been using a lot of mana. She shouted above the din of the storm

"You know, I do have a house in Henesys. Wanna go inside to wait out the storm?"

"Gee, thanks. I guess you wouldn't want to be in a kennel too."

" Yeah. By the way, do you know who took me inside here?"

"Oh, yes."

"Who?"

"Me"

"Really? Thanks so much. Here, I'll fame you."

"Thanks. Lets go"

They ran off through the hail to the house. The hooded stranger did not remove the hood. As he sipped at the bitter coffee, he looked at the pictures of the female warrior, a male warrior and a young bowman Obviously a family. He turned to the woman, who was busy washing some cups.

"you're married?"

"yes."

"Why isn't your husband with you?"

"Oh. He passed away last year."

"I'm sorry."

As he said "I'm sorry", he suddenly felt it.

That feeling that one gets when you are faced with an impossible coincidence.

That feeling of shock and sadness.

Married. Two Warriors with a bowman son. The husband died fighting a war that was not his to fight. No, it cannot be. It must not be…but it is my job. I will have to find out. But I am not sure if I really want to know the truth……
