Hey, it's okay!

I speak English natively, and it's still hard to understand stuff sometimes!

Also, when people try to translate their ideas into english, those mistakes can teach new words or ideas to me, and I never would have found them otherwise!

For an example:

Malediction-

A magical word or phrase uttered with the intention of bringing about evil or destruction; a curse.

Okay, I've read further now, and stopped at "pity."

This is the most glaring instance in the whole piece so far, because most other errors were just slight problems with sentence structure.

Or they were odd compound words, such as wound towels (wound itself spells two words, so either there are towels wrapped around her, or there are towels here used for injuries and nothing else.)

But in any case, "pity."

Pity is a word to describe how somebody feels, and is not an action or lack of action.

In a situation like this, the girl might beg, but instead for mercy.

Mercy

Compassion, or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.

"The boy was screaming, and begging for mercy"

As for pity.

Pity

. The feeling of sorrow and compassion caused by the suffering and misfortunes of others.

"Her voice was full of pity"

Okay, that's it.
