This is my first actual blog story, but hey- my mom encourages me to write so I’m going to make my first blog a story!!! I actually also visit RoseMapleScape a lot, and everyone seemed to like my first shot at a guide, which is basically has the same traits of writing too. Please rate, and remember, I have no experience WHATSOEVER in this field. This story will have everything from training () to romance (<3) to death (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!) By the way, this isn’t based on real life. Just saying that to prevent a bunch of PMs about if this IS. My name’s not even Jess, it’s BLANK.

MAPLE ADVENTURES SERIES CHAPTER 1 (no killing in this one, sorry)

By: xXyZaThEx
The wind was pleasant and sky was cloudless; it seemed like a perfect day to go to town. My family is a well respected member of Mushroom Town, although we don’t actually live in Mushroom town.

Me: MOM! I’m going to town!
Mom: Alright Jess, but be back in time for dinner. Oh, while you’re there, can you pick up the newspaper and find out the latest rumors (My mom is especially susceptible to gossip.)!
Me: Sure!

I was walking to town when I met a boy and a girl. They introduced themselves to me as Michael (Mike for short) and Rowena (Rowen for short) (Author’s note: Look, some of you obviously noticed that Rowen is also the name of a NPC in Maple Story. I’m not good at names ok?)

Me: What are you doing here?
Rowen: (Blushing) our dad gave us a day off from tending to the animals in our farm.
Mike: Yea, we live up in the mountains, and we’ve never been to town before.
Me: Really? Then I take it that only your father has been to town before.
Rowen: (Still blushing, I don’t know why) have you been to town before?
Me: Of course, do you want me to show you around?
Both: Sure!

So that’s how we began our friendship. We would go through thick and thin, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Anyway, we got into a long talk about random little tidbits. It turns out their mother died when they were only 3(Mike) and 2(Rowen)

Me: So, who’s your father?
Mike: His name’s-
Me: Hold on, I’ve seen someone who looks just like you… it can’t be Sam…
Rowen: Hey! That’s our dad’s name!
Me: Really? Whoa! Your dad happens to be a well respected council member!
Mike: What! We never knew that!

So that’s how I found out Mike and Rowen were the son and daughter of Council Member Sam.
Also, I wonder why Sam’s farming. If he wants, he could make a small fortune! Well, we went to town, and enjoyed ourselves…A LOT! We went to the library, park, and when we were done sightseeing, the Café. A waiter took our order.

Me: I’d like a plate of Snail Meat, and a bottle of Red Potion.
Waiter: And you?
Mike: Some toast would be fine, and water.
Waiter: And this fine lady (he put a lot of emphasis on “fine lady”)
Rowen: (Giggling) Fried mushroom and some Red Potion too.
Me: Oh, waiter, can you give us a plate of your finest watermelon too?
Waiter: Not a problem sir.
We ate and enjoyed ourselves by talking through different things. I wondered how it would be like to travel around, relying on our wits and skills to survive in our monster-ridden world.

Rowen: You know, that actually might be a good idea.
Mike: Yea, wouldn’t it be cool, just to travel all the way to Victoria Island and become an Hunter?
Rowen: And an Assassin?
Me: Well, I’d personally be a cleric actually.
Mike: Then it’s decided! Tonight we’ll ask our parents for permission to go traveling!

I picked up the bill for 1,450 meso and we left for our homes.

That night was the most suspenseful day of my life. I could just feel the density in the air.
Mom: Travel? I bet it’s about that dream of yours to become a world-known hero!
Me: Em, yea, that’s about it.
Mom: Well, I know you can take care of yourself ( My heart leapt) but….. ( Emotional breakdown)
Dad: What your mom is trying to say is that you’re too young to travel. Maybe in a year or two…
Me: But in a year is too late!
Mom: Is it really that important to you?
Me: Yes!
Dad: Well, ok.
Mom: But you have to promise to write home every month!
Me: Sure!
Dad: Then it’s settled.

I jumped through the roof, literally.

Dad: Jess? You can come down now!

To be continued…….
