[2325] Tournament Day

Hello hello!

Always wanted to be a writer, so in lockdown I set myself a goal to actually write. This is the first chapter from a much longer story that I'm working on and it's meant to be a middle-grades fantasy book. (Think style like: Lightning Thief or I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You.)

There is a prologue where a girl falls from the sky and is found by a scouting team and brought to Prariefall, but it doesn't impact this chapter because the main character doesn't care yet.

I'd like feedback about flow and world building. The world is pretty complex, so to soften the blow, I have it initially grounded in stereotypes that I'm planning to subvert later on. Please let me know if it gets too heavy handed.
