So far, I've read through your first chapter. I'm a little sick (Well, very sick... but anyways), so I really don't feel like reading anymore, or doing a full indepth review like I normally would. Sorry D=
So yeah, I'm Die and I found your story through your post on A Guild of Song and Myth. Firstly, you're welcome to apply at AGoSaM using me as your invitation, as it's needed. I suggest reading the front page =P
Now, what do I think about your story? Firstly, it's better than what is usually found around here. You have a solid build up in your first chapter, which surprised me as your introduction had me worried. You've got some good description and some character development, which is always nice.
However, what stops your story from truly shining is the grammar issues you have. Your sentence structure is a little wonky a lot of the time, with it halting the flow. You might find this hard, as I understand English is your second language (Sorry if I'm incorrect, I think I read it at the bottom of your first page), but by reading over what you've written so far you would find some sentences don't... seem to fit. Technically they are correct, but because of the order of words it doesn't quite make sense. Try and pick up on those!
Also, occasionally your word choice is a little poor, while other times it's spectacular. Try and erase those poor ones and I would be mighty happy!
So, that's about all from me. I'm sure I'll come back when I'm feeling healthy and I'll give you a little bit more of a informal review. Happy writing!

Ty Die, I truly appreciate you for being honest and giving me a full depth view on my story. I have noticed a few mistakes that I can point out but tbh I'm not sure how to adjust them to fit correctly. Maybe if you gave me a few examples from the first chapter then I'll have an idea on what to look for.
Thanks again for reading! ^.^
Hope you enjoy the rest.

Well, sorry Mr Chuklz =P
And November, I shall do that ASAP. I'm really sick at the moment, so I'm not functioning at 30%, let alone 100%. Tomorrow or the next day I should be much better, so I'll give it a picking over then =D

I've read the first chapter. It's an interesting expirience for me, since this is only the second non noob/comedy story I've ever read. (on the forums, anyway) interesting though, i can already tell i'm going to be coming back for more.
Also, i agree with die (not the part about being sick, the other part) your sentence structure is a little difficult to understand. understandable, seeing as english is not your first language, but still, i would reccomend you use a grammer chck in microsoft word, so you can see where your sentences are off. i would go back and edit the grammer on all your chapters, now while the story is just begining, rather then having 80-100 chapters and then going back and working on them.
just out of curiosity, why do people keep calling you wind?
