What Is My Conflict In This Story? ?

Please tell me the conflict, criticism would be nice too- I wrote it:
You’ve Got History In You
Elizabeth padded along the dirt path, one white gloved hand gripping a thin bouquet of freshly picked daisies, the other tugging at a worn brown leather hat. Her skirt brushed over the stone path and the white ribbon on her hat tugged at the night wind. Her blond curly hair rustled around her face. Finally she stopped and peered into the large, intricate iron gate. It was large, gray, with bars, like a prison, and small dark flowers and leafy, thin vines. She shoved open the gate reluctantly, and wiping her dirty glove against her coat, stepped into the eerie graveyard.
She had never been here before. As she walked along the dimly lit path, littered by tombstones and shrouded with dark flowers, almost like the ones of the gate, she could swear she felt the hat rustle in her hands. Ignoring the sensation, she gazed around.
Elizabeth felt chills as she looked around nervously. The graveyard seemed to be deserted, and even though she was almost twenty five years old, she still found it hard not to glance over her back every few seconds. She was interested in her grandfather, though. History intrigued her, especially her own family history.
“Harvey P. Jamesson…” she murmured demurely, running her fingers over the soft material. The beaten-up, soft hat was the sole relic of her grandfather. She had heard so much about him. She then continued her hunt for her grandfather’s tombstone, blue eyes darting back and forth.
From out of the blue, the hat pulled itself out of her iron grip and began to float in front of her. Her eyes widened as the hat soared up in the air and spun around. Instinctively she knew that she was meant to follow it. The haggard hat emitted a soft, magical glow˗ the happiest in the graveyard˗ and shot through the foggy air. Elizabeth had to run to keep up with its hurried pace, tripping on her heavy skirt on the way. She chased after it, wondering where on earth it was going.
It led her through the graveyard. They passed weeping willow trees, sitting above polished marble. She sprinted past a crying couple, far in the distance, mourning a lost friend. The hat zoomed over buried fiancées, dead mothers, and murder victims, not stopping once.
When she was almost out of breath, the hat paused. It rose above a gray, half-oval shaped rock rising out of the land with something engraved into it. Upon closer inspection Elizabeth found that the rock read:
Here lies Harvey Peter Jamesson
“Do not forget your country.”
1837-1865
Upon gazing at the quote on the tombstone, Elizabeth began to weep softly, filled with happiness and sadness. “Sixty five years, it’s been, sixty five years…”
The hat hovered down into her open arms. She sat on her knees in front of the brown earth that covered the corpse. Placing the white daises gingerly on the dirt, she dusted off the hat and stared at it.
It vibrated, almost happily, as if it knew she was thrilled to be here.
She placed the hat atop the daisies, bowing her head in respect. Elizabeth rose and turned to leave when she heard the ground beneath her quake. She shrieked, covering her mouth with her gloves so that the peace would not be disturbed, and grasped onto the tree that towered above the stones for protection. The bark irritated her skin, but she did not care. The tremors ended, leaving a rattled Elizabeth grasping onto the tree.
“Hello?” asked a deep voice, seemingly rising from the earth.
“H-h-ello? Is anyone th-th-there?” she stuttered nervously.
“By Jove! Is it you, Nancy?” asked the voice.
“Nancy is my grandmother… my name is Elizabeth,” she ventured uncertainly, gazing around for the stranger who had spoken.
“What’s your last name, dear?”
“Turner. I… I came to see my great-grandfather’s grave.”
“Well, you’ve come to the right place. Sit down… yes, right there, in front of my grave.”
This must be some kind of trick. Most likely someone is hiding behind that tree, ready to jump out and scare me! No one talks to people from the dead.
“This is no trick, Elizabeth. I am your grandfather. I can tell by your voice. You sound exactly like my wife, your grandmother, I think you said it she was. I can see you’re the spitting image of her.”
This was news to Elizabeth. “How can you see me when I can’t see you?”
“It’s the hat. It’s a very, very special hat.”
Elizabeth laughed.
“grandfather…”
“Call me Peter.”
“Peter, then… how did you die, exactly?”
Peter told her the story of his heroic and tragic life. He had been born in England to a noble, and lived his teenage years there.
“It was nice, but I felt too pressured.”
He disgraced his family by running off to America to escape them. Once he had arrived, he found Nancy, and they married and had her mother.
“She was the most beautiful woman, Elizabeth. I wish you could have met her too.”
He fought in the war against Britain, stating it was ha

How to Make a Good Maple Story Warrior

Maple Story is a side scrolling online role playing game. Players can choose from four classes: Warrior, Magician, Bowman or Thief when starting the game. These classes branch into Elite classes as the game progresses. Although Maple Story is free to play, players can buy special items for their characters to wear or use. Players who choose the Warrior Class get up close and personal with their enemies.

Instructions

Keep rolling dice until your character has the following stats: Strength 13 and a Dex, Int and Luck of 4. Getting good stats during Character Creation, helps starting warriors become successful. Developing a good warrior requires constant combat and learning your foes. Maple Story offers a lot of non-combat orientated game play. Explore those avenues when you need a break.

Explore the Snail Hunting Grounds 1-3, Split Road, Dangerous Forest and The Tree that Grew. Your fighter will be at least level 12 after he completes these quests.

Increase your character’s Strength at each level. Strength is the most important stat for fighters. Train your Warrior to Strength 35. This stat measures how much damage a fighter does to his foes. A Warrior’s secondary stat is Dex. Warriors need a decent Dex score to hit their foes. Start increasing your Warrior’s Dex after reaching Strength 35.

Focus on these two skills for your Warrior’s first 15 levels: Improving HP Recovery and Improving Max HP. Your Warrior takes the first skill for five levels and ten for the second. Choose the skills Power Strike and Slash Blast for your fighter for the next 40 levels.

Choose your Warrior’s Elite Class. He can become a Fighter, Page or Spearman.

Rajasthan Tours Narrate The Royal Story of Mughals And Rajputs

Rajasthani culture is based on custom decorum of valor and gallantry with planned war art fare in the battlefield. Other buildings that were constructed were either meant for defense and security or abode and place of worship. Rajasthan Tours display the true face of this desert state as reflected in edifices, arts and crafts, fairs and festivals, and folk performances of various towns and cities here, such as Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Sawai Madhopur, Chittaurgarh, Bikaner, Pushkar, and Udaipur.

Navigate through the desert state to see massive forts, majestic palaces, unassailable fortified structures, stately villas, imposing Havelis, opulent and highly revered temples like the Dilwara Temples and outstanding mausoleums. Unlike other regions, each architectural structure in Rajasthan has a tale to narrate, whether it concerns brave Rajputs or the lavish Mughals. Each structure is meticulously created and is a masterpiece in itself. No wonder Rajasthan is an epicenter of tourism.

Some of the forts and palaces of Rajasthan that still awe and inspire best architects and masterminds all over the world include Nahargarh, Amber Fort Palace, City Palace, Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds, and Jantar Mantar at Jaipur. Jaisalmer has heritage legacy in the form of Ummaid Bhawan while Mehrangarh Fort and Jashwant Thada are tourist magnets at Jodhpur. Udaipur has City Palace overseeing Lake Pichola from its banks while Lake Palace stands right in middle of the lake with a pearly white marble shine as the best luxury heritage hotel of Rajasthan. Chittaurgarh forts re-create some of the most interesting legends in the history books of India. After centuries of existence, these monuments still stand in all their magnificence as precious heritage monuments of India.

The princely states of Rajasthan was ruled by Rajputs for so long that it is rightly known as the ‘Land of Rajputs. ‘Rajput’ is derivative of a Sanskrit word ‘Rajputra’, which means ‘Son of a King’. Right from 7th century to the days when Mughals and then, British were in power, Rajput rulers retained the power over their kingdoms by strategic wars, sacrifices, and peace treaties as well. The patronage they offered to art and architecture is evident in the progressive construction that took place during this period that has managed to weather the ravages of Time and Nature. Appreciated by tourists of all over the world, Rajasthan and Golden Triangle Tours highlight sites that are nonpareil and incomparable in their own right. Each stone carving and stone idol you can see at Rajasthan narrates the royal story of romance, culture and brave valor of the people of the land.

The ferocious jungles and its beasts that once formed part of the hunting reserves of various princely kingdoms of Rajasthan reveals another aspect of Rajput gallantry. Ranthambore National Park, Keoladeo Ghana Bird Sanctuary, and Bandhavgarh National Park are some of the most famous wildlife sanctuaries, where royals used to organize tiger hunting tours and bird shooting games as an entertainment for their guests. The 8th Ranthambore Fort has witnessed various phases of political dominance while luxurious forest lodges at some of the best tiger reserves form a major attraction for wildlife and nature enthusiasts.

Rajasthan Tour is a treasure trove inheritance left behind by the princely states that effortlessly keeps domestic and international tourists spellbound for the entire tour duration. The Rajput and Mughal tales intertwined with the Aravali Hills and the Thar Desert add a touch of surrealism to your Rajasthan vacations and keep memories warm for a long time to come.
