Graal Story

I have to do a story 20 pages long in the next 3 months for English Class, and I thought I would do it about Graal Kingdoms, so, I will share it with you. Its not done yet, but it is on its 6th page, tell me what you think of it so far.

As I awake from the ship wreck, my head was pouding, I must have hit it on something pretty hard, as it is swollen. I stand up to see I am laying on the beach with the remains of the ship I was a passenger on, which was destroyed, pieces of it dot the shoreline.
There are two strange men, I think they were Pirates, laughing and talking about how this beach belongs to them, when a woman comes outside and says " Aww you poor thing, go inside the tavern and talk to my husband, he can help you.". So I gathered up the things I could from the wreck and walked inside.
There sat an older man, fifties possibly, and I told him his wife sent me and he handed me a sheet of paper. On the paper was a list of simple tasks, make a shovel, plant corn, help a young woman who broke her leg, help an elderly woman move furniture, and after all those are done board the ferry to the mainland.
So I embark on my journey to complete the tasks, as I walk to into the blacksmith's I show him the paper and he says "Ah I see you met Lartin", take this iron ore and work it into the shape of a shovel, if you need I'll be here." So I took the Iron ore, heated up until it was red, and battered it with a mallet into the shape of a shovel, and nail it to a stick. That was the end of task number one. Next I needed to plant some corn, so I headed to the local grocer, and bought a corn seed and planted it outside the tavern, task number two completed. After that I had to go help a local blonde woman get her medicine, because she can't walk due to a broken leg. So she handed me 10 gold, and I went to the store, and bought her her medicince, and gave it too her. She was so thankful I got to keep the change. Next, I walked down the path and came across the old womans who's furniture who needed moving. I had to go in and put her bed on the other side of the house, and move the kitchen table a few feet to the right. After that was all done I headed to to ferry to country on my journey. As the great ship arrived, the captain yelled "Arrghhh!! 5 gold coins for safe passage across the sea!" So I paid the man, and went below deck too sleep.
I awoke the next morning to the sound of the captain yelling down the stairs "We're here sonny boy, get outta bed, and off my ship!" I shook his hand, bid him farewell, and stepped off the ship onto the shores of a town called bomboria. I headed into town and heard the sound of many people coming from the local bazaar. This was in a small building in the rear of the town, so I walked over and went inside. There were tables everywhere, and people sitting around trading, and other people selling things, and bargaining with others.
I saw someone I knew in this town, his name was Etien, he took to me one of the tables and put down a pickaxe, and he said "Take this, you will need it in the future." So I gladly accepted the gift, and began talking with him. He told me that this bazaar, as well the ones in other towns, were the safest places to trade, and that I should never trade without someone there to see because people will always try to rip me off. He also told me the legend of this land, it is a vast place, called Anthia, inhabited by creatures called bomy's, and large ones called Lord Bomy's, and that there are dungeons all over the world with Werewolves and Dinosaurs inside them. He also mentioned that there are a few smaller islands only a few hours away on a boat, that belonged to the different kingdoms. Everyone on the mainland belonged to one of the Kingdoms, and they were constantly arguing with one another about them.


I will finish later, I have more, but my fingers hurt.

Proper stylization wouldn't only make it easier to read - it'd be nicer to look at, aswell. Take it from me, I'm in Graphic Design!

Anyways, I think it's kind of lame to write it ABOUT GK, Rather I would choose something more interesting

Uhmn... The story tends to flow really quickly. More details (Especially ones that are symbolic of things.) would probably help with enchancing it more, though I don't know what type of meaning you'd pull out of a story based on a game. Perhaps I am expecting too much from all the English classes I've taken. Who knows.

We need a literature forum. Seriously. Not necessarily for GK, though.

Sounds good. Paragraphing is needed, I hated reading this. You should use characters from GK in your story

We don't fight, I just tell Oasa to be quiet, and he listens because he fears my awesome powers

Uhm...my biggest complaint, as an English freak, is with regard to tenses. In the first sentance alone, you go through several incorrect tenses. "As I awake" implies that you're speaking in the present while "my head was pounding" takes you to the past tense. All in all, it tends to get muddled VERY quickly.
