Me: Hey! Some people reading this might know me from writing Yumeiro Patissiere, TAS, Shugo Chara... Well, I also play maplestory. This story started with my cousin and I arguing over who could write the better maplestory story. It's not so much a contest anymore, it's just for fun now. I hope you like this story. Characters! Introduce youselves!

Violet: I'm Violet, I'm mostly the 'main' character, though all the characters share main role. My dream is to become a cleric, so I can heal everyone, spreading cheer throughout Victoria Island. :)

Alala: I'M ALALA! I'm hyperactive, bubbly and tend to do things without thinking them through. I have a loud voice and scream a lot. I'm a wind archer, wanting to protect the world with all the other cygnus knights.

Dani: I'm Dani, I'm a mage at the moment, but I'm going to become a cleric, just like Violet. I am kind, patient and think through everything. I am sometimes easily scared and sometimes it gets the best of me.

Blue: I'm Blue, I'm usually straight forward, blunt and a bit mean. I don't mean to be, I had a rough past. I'm a strong ice-lightning wizard, the strongest of the four of us. I hate Zombie Mushrooms and Pigs. I'm quick to critique and always have a comment.

Me: Please enjoy! I don't own Maplestory, but I do own my characters like Violet, Alala, Dani and Blue!

Maple Story Adventures

Chapter 1: New Beginnings

The sun was shining that beautiful day, the tree leaves were a smothered green. Young Violet burst the door open. "Alala!" She yelled, scrambling towards Alala's house. Alala was sitting on her porch, swinging her legs nonchalantly. Her long black pigtails seemed to glow from the sun's rays.

She blinked, "Yeah Violet?"

Violet stopped suddenly, her long black hair rushing in front of her, "Don't you remember what today is?" She inhaled deeply.

"Today?" Alala continued blinking her brown eyes innocently, "What about today?"

"Don't you remember!" Violet exclaimed, "I mean come on... We've talked about this for months! You said you wanted to be a..."

Alala's eyes widened, "ARE YOU SERIOUS!" She jumped up, "THAT'S TODAY!"

"Of course it is!" Violet yelled, "I've had it marked on mine and your calendar for 3 months! We've trained with those stupid clubs long enough. Today is the day to advance! You said you wanted to work bows and arrows, am I right?"

"Of course I do!" Alala answered, "And you wanted to be a..."

"Cleric! C-L-E-R-I-C!"

"Okay Okay!" Alala replied heatedly.

"Only you would forget what job I want!" Violet retorted.

"WHATEVER! We've got to get to town!"

"I'm already in town," Violet smiled brightly, "we live an Ellinia, remember?"

"Hmph, I have to go all the way to Ereve."

"But why Cygnus knight?" Violet shook her head, "You could always just go to Henesys."

"I want to be a wind archer," Alala sighed, "I told you; I want to join the Cygnus!"

"Fine, I just hope you have the mesos to pay for it." Violet began walking away, "good luck."

Violet began climbing, up the trees, all the ladders, just to reach Grendel's library. She finally arrived, adjusting her yellow dress she opened the large wooden doors. "Grendel?" She spoke aloud.

"I'm back here child," was Grendel's response. Unlike usual, he was sitting at one of the tables, reading one of those faded old books.

"I-I'm here for job advancement," she replied, putting down the annoying wooden club.

"Let's see," Grendel put down his book. "My my, you've grown so much, you've have gained muscle in the arm I see."

"Yeah, I trained hard against those slimes out of town." Violet smiled proudly, "Alala and I, we wiped those things out."

Grendel laughed, "Well done child, did you remember to bring your potions with you?"

"Yup! Alala and I even made them ourselves..."

"Which did you make?"

"Red and blue," Violet replied, "I've already searched up how to make orange and mana elixers."

"Very well," Grendel nodded, "Did you buy armour yet?"

"I wanted to make sure I could get the job first..." Violet took out a small sack of mesos, "But I have the money to pay for it!"

"Well, I think you're ready," Grendel smiled.

"S-seriously!" Violet exclaimed, "like, right now?"

"Of course," He got up from his chair and walked to the back of his library, he came back with a long silver staff. It was thin, but had a glowing blue orb at the top. "Use this well young child."

"Is that the..." Violet's eyes widened.

"Yup, this is a sapphire staff." He handed it to the young girl.

She traced her fingers along the shiny glass orb, "This is so cool!"

Grendel laughed, "let me give you some magical ability." He raised his hand and Violet felt a wind blow past her. "There," he nodded, "now these are just starter skills, energy bolt, magic claw and magic guard." Violet went through her knowledge, she had to put some skill into energy bolt before she could move onto magic claw... She would also need magic guard to help with her health points...

"Thank you Grendel," Violet smiled, she shook his hand as a sense of 'congratulations' and walked out of the library, "I'm Violet," she whispered to herself, "the magician."

Alala arrived in Ereve after the long boat ride. She sighed, it had cost her quite a bit of her mesos. She shook her head, she need not think of it now. She wandered off right, she had to find Irena, she had promised to let her join the Cygnus once she got stronger. She found the green-headed girl doing target practise behind the empress's castle. "I-Irena?"

"Ah, hello Alala," Irena smiled at her, "You wanted to job advance today right?"

"Yeah!" Alala punched her fist in the air, "I think I'm ready."

"Thinking and being are two different things," Irena reminded her, "why don't you try some archery practise?"

Alala eagerly nodded, Irena handed her a started bow. She placed a barrel of arrows at her feet, "Just aim at the target."

Alala fingered the bow string, she had read all about wind archers, bowmen, even how to shoot and arrow, but doing it was so much different. She took a long arrow from the barrel and positioned it as it should have been. Irena nodded approvingly. Alala shut one eye and began focusing in on the target. She pulled the bow string back, doing her best to keep her arms steady. Then, she let it go. The arrow whistled through the air at high speed. It pierced the target board with a loud thud. Alala opened her other eye. Irena nodded again. She had gotten the arrow on the ring right outside the center. She cursed herself on the inside for not getting the arrow on center.

"Well done Alala," Irena praised, "You've done well, considering last time you almost pierced my head!" She laughed heartily. "I hereby instate you as an official wind archer."

A smile spread across Alala's face, "Really?"

"Yes," Irena gestured to the bow in her hands, "that's your for keeps, take that barrel of arrows too."

"Thanks so much Irena!" Alala felt like jumping up and down.

"Oh, and here's a bit of mesos for armour, you must be wiped out from the boat ride here."

Alala took the mesos greatfully, "Thanks."

"Let me give you some skills," Irena raised her hand as Grendel had. Alala felt the familiar wind, "the skills of a beginning wind archer are, focus, double shot and eye of the amazon."

"Okay," Alala smiled brightly, "I'm a wind archer!"
