I have some trouble how the story for my oc, Helena White and Jeran. I wonder how their love story would go, from their first meeting to the confession of Jeran to Helena White that he loves her. My brain is full of ideas but they're jumbled and it's hard to put the pieces together though. Hope Lisha, Kayla, Morris, Count Boris and the others in the castle could try and help Jeran win Helena's love through different ways, only to discover that telling her that he loves her is the final solution to win her heart.
Plus, I thought of adding songs for the characters to sing to. Helena White and Jeran could duet or Jazan and Nabile can do it too.

I'm not much of a writer, but when I have a jumble of ideas for a project, I like to write 'em all down in one place first.
That way I get them all out of my brain before I forget them, and I can reference my list of ideas and pick and choose as I'm developing the project/story. Some ideas may end up on the cutting room floor, but I like to save them all just in case I can use them later in another project.

If you just need ideas shoot me a message, brainstorm with me, bounce an idea of me, ideas are my jam. Create a scenario or event for your characters by adding the unpredictable. Ie: You want your characters to 'randomly' bump into eachother or cross paths or affect the storyline directly? Tell the audience there was a car crash on the bridge, forcing character to something they wouldnt normally, like take a different route to work. Now your character has opportunity to complex the story without it being so obvious to the reader.
To me though it seems like you have more ideas than you know what to do with and have great potential! Maybe youre looking at a 1000 great ideas and thinking omg how in the heck am I even going to organize all these ideas. When this happens to me, if I dont write something down to remember the idea, no matter how great it is and how hard I try to remember, if I did NOT initially write it down, the chances are much higher that I wont remember it.
Your brain is not allowing you to do what you want it to do, even though you both know it has the capability. Its stuck in high gear and is telling you chill like a boxers body tires in the ring. I dont know what youre trying to write, but i know if you keep trying and stay self-conscience, writing will be the least of your problems
To re-iterate, the above post is brilliant. The only thing I would add is that when you feel like that and then write what you can down, WALK AWAY. Its like this. A typical street fight lasts less than a minute and both ppl (normally) are gassed out, cant breathe. A proffessional fight rounds go several minutes. They can fight longer without taking breaks because of training. Each fighter has a limit that once you cross, their performance decreases exponentially. The point is, you can best Mike Tyson in a streetfight if you can dodge him long enough to take advantage of the fact that, he needs a break lol.
Ps do not attempt to fight Mike Tyson. Hope this helps.

I enjoyed the action scenes, especially how Helena was fighting. She is badass. Regarding to Helena and Jeran - their first interaction and mutual liking was too sudden. Helena went to meet other knights before the mission so apparently she should have seen Jeran however you did not mention it, even though he's the captain. I assume he would have at least welcomed her to the group, tried to explain their plan or something. That would be a nice start for their interaction - quick glances, trying to look cooler than they are but instead being awkward, confusing some words, etc.
I agree with previous comments that you should just let all ideas out (write) and then try to organize them and figure out how the story will go on, how characters will develop.
Keep up the good work!

While working on the story, I would sometimes listen to The Corrs or any British or Irish music artists/bands to get inspiration for it. BTW, I here's the update: updated storyHere's Helena White's backstory: Helena White was from Altador but her mother is from Shenkuu. Her father had her and her siblings trained as a warrior, something that she is proud of. Helena White left home in search of adventure because she couldn't stand the expectations of the other neopets that she needs to sit still and look pretty but she breaks the stereotype, despite having the face that launched a thousand ships. She became a mercenary and an adventurer, offering her services but she has strong morals and she chooses her clients carefully, because one wrong move and she'll break his or her bones. Helena longs for a place to call home and she found it in Meridell. There, she offers to protect some knights on a mission to Cogham Steppes, where they'll rescue some villagers from the Ixi raiders. During the skimirsh, Helena saved one of them from an ixi raider with her swords and fought alongside him. The knight she saved there is Jeran Borodere. King Skarl assigned Helena to be Jeran's partner, which was proven too good to be true because their partnership later blossomed into a romantic relationship, something that is known to the other heroes. They often get teased for their status as lovers.
