This Fanfic takes place 5 years after Will Treaty finished training Maddie.

Will Treaty was busy riding Tug to his cabin in the meadow when a strange thing happened. A girl staggered onto the road in front of him. "Please help me! Those men wants to kill me!" the girl cried as two bandits emerged from the trees.

"That girl is ours Ranger! She belongs to us!" the bandit one bandit shouted.

"Don't be stupid, Rudolf. That's the Ranger Will Treaty. He's dangerous." The other bandit replied in a whisper. The bandit called Rudolf drew his sword and shouted at his comrade and at the cowering girl.

"Don't tell me what to do, Spike!" Rudolf bellowed, "And don't think you can escape from me you cowering wretch!" Rudolf was going to charge at Will when something out of the ordinary happened.

The girl had taken one of the arrows in Will's saddle pack and somehow taken his eighty pound draw weight longbow. She stood ready with the arrow knocked to the string. She drew back the string and fired the arrow right into Rudolf's chest. Rudolf stared at the grey shafted arrow and then he fell onto his back, the horror frozen on his face.

"She killed Rudolf!" Spike screamed and ran.

"How the heck did you shoot that bow, girl?" Will asked her as he dismounted. He walked over to the dead man and looked with amazement at how deep the arrow had pierced the man.

"My name is Jade, sir. Those men had me working the whole day with cutting firewood, lifting heavy logs, and ploughing the fields. They were bandits and stole many people's riches." Jade replied as she put the bow back on the horse.

"My golly, you're good with that bow. It's nice to meet you, Jade. I'm Will Treaty. Ranger of Redmont fief," Will replied, "How old are you?"

"I'm fifteen, Ranger sir," she said. She sat down on the grass, clearly exhausted from running and then shooting such a massive bow.

"How would you like to come stay with me a while, Jade?" clearly you're an orphan if those bandits had their filthy hands on you," Will suggested as he got back on Tug and held out his hand towards Jade.

"That will be mighty kind of you, sir," Jade said as she grabbed his hand and got on Tug. They rode away to his cabin.

A few weeks later, Gilan appointed Jade as Will's new apprentice and Jade was very excited after she was first tested to see if she qualified to become an apprentice. Our young apprentice might get to go on many adventures with Will in the future. But for now, it's just practice after practice.
