sorry this time i am editing it
Hi,

The plot so far sounds interesting, good work on that!
But the grammatical stuff, as you've been told, needs work.
Can't wait to read more!
Ooh, intriguing. I'd love to see more of this.
It does need some brushing up of basic grammar points (new line for a new person's speech) and checking up of typos but that's easily sorted. =D
Very interesting. I bit confusing though with how you've spaced the paragraphs. Keep working on it it seems like an interesting and well thought out story.
i am editing it right now!
Sorry guys but I did rush through this last night si I could get some sleep. I am going to edit this and add stuff though.
Ditto what Antares said: Dialogue = new paragraphs! When you read a book, think of how that's set up. Try to mimic that.
Before you post a story, search it for typos. Because one of the biggest problems here is typos and grammar - those aren't too hard to fix. Just re-read what you write carefully before you post, and look for words that stand out and look "wrong". That you know you've read countless times before and they weren't spelled like that.
This is hard to read, the format being the way it is. Edit it a little, and then it'll be easier to look at the story.
PM me if you have any questions~
First things first: take a new paragraph for each new speaker.
Now, on with the review...
The purple smoke is filling the ruins? The wording could be better here. How about 'fills the air around the ruins'? I also have to question whether bomb sounds 'ring.' I'm pretty sure you can find a better word to use there.
Mud is in the air? Oh and how exactly are their clothes odd? Have we just to be kept guessing at this point?
Punctuation goes inside the quotations marks. When you say young man how young do you actually mean? You could give some indication to his age.
'The Realm of Myst' is not exactly original, is it? It seems very cliché. Also, I think you should stick to one colour for her eyes unless it is necessary for the story.
Stop the bus a minute! His hands are glowing red? And if they're not human why call him a 'man'?
Y'know the YWS editor comes with a handy Spell Checker so you could avoid these types of spelling mistakes. We've got blue and red glowing hands, machines crashing through buildings and blue force fields? All in all we're pretty darn confused. I love how he presses on her tattoo and she becomes powerless though. That's funky.
Really, how can she talk if she can't move?
I'm going to stop now but there are three things I will advise you to do:
1) Spruce up your grammar a bit and learn how to set out dialogue properly.
2) Revise the story a little. Don't just drop bombs on the reader such as blue glowing hands and expect them to understand. As soon as they get too confused they won't read for much longer. Also, try your hardest to avoid clichés. You're doing okay so far but honestly as soon as I saw 'The Realm of Myst' I wanted to stop reading. 'Realm' is way over-used in fantasy.
3) The third and final thing is: don't give up. I know it seems like all I've done is criticise your work but honestly it's not as bad as it seems. You can improve and get better as long as you keep trying.
I hope I've helped a little and if you have any questions feel free to PM me.
Good luck!

I think that you have many strengths and weaknesses. You have some misspelled words and things like that. What you should do is reread it and edit it. Overall I thought it was interesting, though.
