In the land of Haypi, there once lived a young boy/girl. He/she lived in a small cottage near the sea with his/her sister, mother and father. His/her father was a merchant, his/her grandfather was a merchant, his/her great-grandfather was a merchant, and so on and so forth to the start of time. One day, his/her father returned home with a great story of eight treasures at the bottom of the seabed. These treasures were not normal treasures at all. If any one person was able to find all eight treasures, that person would obtain a key giving them access to the wonders of the future. Later that night, there was a storm that completely destroyed the boy's/girl's house and washed him/her out to sea where he/she landed on a deserted island, with his/her relatives' screams echoing in his ears. Years later, when the boy/girl was a grown man/woman, he/she was rescued by a passing boat, taking him/her to a nearby coastal city. While there, he/she was given a free trading ship and submarine by the governor of the city to help him/her establish a new life. The man/woman then realized that he/she had been given the chance to continue the trade of his/her family, and possibly find the treasure that his/her father had told him/her about so many years ago, and he/she left the city, ready for his/her new life to start.

Also, there could be a sidestory where you have to find your family...

Re: UniHiGuy Prologue Competition Entry
Thnx Brisingr!
Re: UniHiGuy Prologue Competition Entry
The only thing I saw that I didn't like was that "relative's" should be "relatives'." (That's because it's plural possessive.) Otherwise I love it.

Re: UniHiGuy Prologue Competition Entry
Also can you rank this out of 10, 10 being the highest? I'm thinking of writing a book, and would like some general feedback of my writing.
Re: UniHiGuy Prologue Competition Entry
I give it an 9.5/10! Could be better, but I'm not sure how you could improve.
Re: UniHiGuy Prologue Competition Entry
Not bad, but it reads more like an outline of a prologue, rather than a true prologue story IMO
Beware the Artesians!!
