Hello, welcome to my first fan fiction, but before I begin I have something to tell first.
NOTES:
There IS spoiler of Mercedes's story in here, so if you don't want her storyline to be spoiled, I'd suggest leave now.
T-rated just in case :D.
Majority or probably all of the chapters will be in Mercedes's POV.
The story begins after the tutorial.
That's probably all, oh wait.
DISCLAIMER: I am not Nexon, therefore I don't own Maple Story.
And yes, it's quite short. But it's the introductory!
Also, I would gladly accept any constructive criticism, grammar errors, spelling faults, anything.
That's all. :)
..."What is this?" I looked around. Only seeing that Elluel is not snowing anymore... And being the only one thawed out.
"Everyone else is still encased in ice, except for me, but why?" I wandered around, baffled. But I noticed something, incredibly insulting.
"I feel weak, very weak, it's as if I've lost all of my strength." I feel sick, having to lean against wall to wall only to be able to walk.
I'm starting to feel a little bit depressed, being alone and weak, not living up to the 'Queen of the Elves' name. "Okay, get it together, Mercedes, you are the sovereign of the Elves, stay calm and think." Calming myself down, I swung my arms around and jumped. "Every body part seems to be working, apparently only my strength is affected."
"Perhaps I should practice on the dummies in the Elven School first, back to the basics I guess." I sighed, but this was a good idea, it's been years since I last did anything, I felt rusty. "Come on, Mercedes, you can do this, no one is watching." I hoped that no one observed me in such state. If the Elves knew their sovereign is in such state, they'd probably tell me to step down!
After practicing on the Leaf Dummies, I felt a bit stronger. "The good old times, struggling to take down even the weakest dummy. And I can't believe that I had to visit here again." Can anyone believe it? The Ruler of the Elves, Mercedes, having to train on dummies made for beginners! I feel so ridiculous now. "Last time, the Slimes outside was around level 50, of course, before then, I can absolutely decimate them. But now, they'd slime me to death!" I shook my head and went on to practice on more dummies.
"In this pace, I'd probably get back to my previous strength in about...a hundred thousand years." I got a bit disappointed in myself. "Okay, the only way that I can know what's going on in the world is to get out of Elluel, and there are slimes bouncing around outside. This is preposterous! I am the ruler of Elves! They should be afraid of me! There is no other way, I must get out of Elluel. If I can't defeat the Slimes, I can get around them." I gone out and something had surprised me. "These Slimes...doesn't look as strong as before." Indeed, I was right, these Slimes were much weaker than before. "How many years have to pass before these slimes could grow this weak? There's no mistaking it, the old Slimes would destroy me in seconds, but the new Slimes..."I looked at them, they stared at me with their innocent eyes and a friendly smile. I decided to leave them be and went out. Huge trees surrounded me. I wandered around before finding something amazing...
