Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),

Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!

Anyway let's get right to it,

The mysterious figers creeped closer. The shadow commanding them slowed them to a halt.

“You might as well come out, I know your there,” the voice seemed to come out of the fire it's self. The figers stopped, and whirily approached the Fire Goddess. That's what they called the beautiful women sitting in the coles of the dieing fire.

“Come closer, that's right. Now, I know you want to attack your nabors, and Relta is in your way. I'll show you how to defite it, but I must get something in return. I want Relta. You Monetans are the true warriors, not those Reltins. Yet they still stand in your way. Give me Relta, and I'll show you how to bet it,” the voice was intoxicating.

A rough voice answered hers, “Well do that as long as you tell us your name, goddess.”

“My name? Well then, you shall. My name is Larween.”

Because your title is spelled wrong, I will just fix all of the errors. Sorry, but I have good spelling, and bad spelling annoys me.

Now that the spelling is taken care of, I'll help with your grammar. Every time a new person begins speaking, you need to start a new paragraph. Every. Single. Time. No exceptions. Now, if you were going to do some descriptions about what that person was doing while s/he was speaking, then that's a little different. For now, just focus on new paragraphs. Also, with dialogue tags, make sure your grammar is correct for when they're before and after the dialogue. "...the voice was intoxicating," for instance. After "it" in the dialogue should be a period and "the" should be capitalized.

Next is the dialogue. To me, it was a little confusing, but that's probably because you didn't describe the setting very well. Even in prologues, the reader should have a sense of what's going on. Also, you did a bit of repeating things that didn't make sense. "...and Relta is in your way. I'll show you how to defeat it, but I must get something in return. I want Relta. You Monetans are the true warriors, not those Reltins. Yet they still stand in you way. Give me Relta, and I'll show you how to beat it." Is Relta a country? A person? I can't tell. You're talking about Relta as if it's a person, so if it's a country, make it sound like one. If it's a person, make it sound like one. Is it a boy or a girl? Until I know what Relta is, not only is that passage repetitive, therefore a bit boring, but it's also confusing.

One more thing. It seems as if the Fire Goddess telling the people her name is a big deal, but you haven't created any suspense for it, or any sort of mood. Try and do that

There are other things I want to mention, but I'd like you to fix those things first and then I'd like to read it again. The concept is interesting, but the way you execute it here is not. Keep writing.

That is all.

Hi!

First of all, welcome to YWS! I hope you love the site as much as I do. It's great that you're already posting and getting the hang of the site. I know you haven't gotten any reviews yet, but it's not generally a good idea to bump your work by double posting. If you need a review, you can try out the Will Review For Food forum, where lots of people are actually asking for works to review! It's nice if you review other peoples' works too, so that they recognize your username or want to read your work in return. Plus, reviewing other stories is one of the best ways to improve your own. Anyway, on to your story!

There's also a spelling checker on YWS--it makes your life so much easier. (I know I used to have lots of trouble with spelling. Reading a lot helps) Most word processing programs also have spell checkers. Look for the "check spelling" button on the top left. But for now, here is how your story should look (with proper spelling and grammar)

Assassin



Prologue


The mysterious figures (What makes them mysterious?) crept closer. The shadow commanding them slowed them no need to say 'them' twice to a halt.
“You might as well come out, I know you're there,” the voice seemed to come out of the fire itsself. The figures stopped, and warily approached the Fire Goddess. That's what they called the beautiful women sitting in the coles of the dieing fire.You just told us what they called her--no need to say it twice.
“Come closer, that's right. Now, I know you want to attack your neighbors, and Relta is in your way. I'll show you how to defeat it, but I must get something in return. I want Relta. You Monetans are the true warriors, not those Reltins. Yet they still stand in your way. Give me Relta, and I'll show you how to beat it,” the voice was intoxicating.
A rough voice answered hers, “We'll do that as long as you tell us your name, goddess.”
“My name? Well then, you shall. My name is Larween.”
