[KMS] The First Battle with the Black Mage (Orchid & Lotus)

Ms2 is a prequel

Bruh, if you think that just because it's a prequel saves Maplestory from backtracking and suddenly being like "WAIT WE FORGOT ABOUT SOMETHING" you have a whole storm brewing... They can still mingle years later down the line with antagonist.

There's already a few shady questions that are either clear as day retcons (such as having an empress after Aria but before Cygnus). Now this can either be justified with one of two options:
A. Two different dev teams started off with entirely different ideas and paid no respect to the actual storyline STRAIGHT FROM THE GET GO.
or
B. Something happened that suddenly made Mapleworld forget all this pomegranate happened.

Now if we continue with option B, this doesn't exactly mean that whatever we face in MS2 is "defeated". it could be sealed like the black mage was, or it could even get a successor that's using similar powers.

Being a prequel =/= Inaccessible resources.
