Help Kyle be less stupid

Hey guys, I forget the proper way to go from story to speech.
Is this right?
(hopefully this site does indentations)
The old one saw this and only offered a wink for an explanation.
“It was the Age of Crystals, Year 26, when the storm came…”
He was well into the story when the children shifted positions,
trying to remain comfortable for the endeavor. At a high table
across the room their father glanced over to see how they were
doing.
“Jonas, do you know who the old fellow is that’s entertaining
my young-ins?” He asked the man sitting with him. The man
finished a heavy sip of his ale and then regarded the figure.
“Can’t say that I do my Lord, I’ve never seen him.”
With that their father stood and made his way over to them.
Tyrius Griffonhelm King of Gilgamoore, Ruler of the Five
Towers, second son of King Firion Griffonhelm the Third; he who
united the Five, was a man of the greatest renown

Ok what about, like in my example, where someone is talking,
then trails off into the narrator? Should the narrators be the
next line like I did, or should it continue on the same one?
"“It was the Age of Crystals, Year 26, when the storm came…”
He was well into...."
I need to find my old MLA book lol

It can stay in the same line the only time that u have to start
a new paragraph is if the person speaking changes any time it is
narration you can leave it in the same line and/or paragraph as
the dialogue is in
