This is what i have so far on a story i'm writing:
Chapter 1
Fire blowing, water being thrown around, and a small boy sitting in the middle of it, O’Kana sat there, scared to death. Looking at Kasenfer, the evil villain chasing him, and looking at his older brother, Helfer, fighting with the Stone of Water, passed down from generation to generation. The fight went on for what seemed hours, had ended when one fell and never got back up. Kasenfer lost the fight, but was still alive. Helfer picked up O’Kana and looked at Kasenfer. “There is no reason to finish you off, come after my brother again, and you will get killed.” That was the last time O’Kana and Helfer saw the villain again. That was about 10 years ago, now, at age fifteen, O’Kana is on bye himself. He didn’t want to be under his brother’s wing forever, so he left his home town, and set off on an adventure, but he didn’t know what was ahead of him. “It’s been three years since I left Helfer alone.” O’Kana was laying on the grass, talking to his best friend, Alez. “Why won’t you just go visit him? I’m sure he misses you! I mean, three years without seeing his only brother, I’d be tough, real tough.” Alez said, laying down and having her blond hair scatter on the green grass. “But, what if he doesn’t remember me, my black hair has gotten darker, my green eyes have gotten brighter, I don’t look like my self when I was twelve.” “He’d remember you, I know he would!” Alez rolled over on her stomach. “Brothers don’t forget what each other look like! I know, let’s head out tonight, to your home town and visit him! We just have to get some supplies, but that’d be it!” “Tonight, a little soon, don’t you think, Alez?” “Not at all, I have been dieing to meet your brother. You know, how much you talk about him, it’d be really nice to meet him.” “Okay, tonight it is. We should head into town now, and get ready.” The time finally came, they set out at sunset. They walked all night, with no sleep, then, they came to O’Kana’s hometown. “Bye what the locals been saying Helfer stills lives in the same hut.” O’Kana said as they walked up to the old, shaggy hut he use to call home, and still does. He knocked three times, and a young man, about in his twenties answered the door. “How may I help you?” It was definetly Helfer. “Helfer, its O’Kana, your brother.” “O’Kana?” Helfer’s eyes green eyes brightened. “O’Kana, I haven’t seen you in so long.” “This Is Alez Kanquchi, she has been traveling with me lately.” Alez smiled, showing her bright, white teeth. “Hello, Helfer. It’s a delight to meet you. O’Kana told me much about you.” “Come in, come in.” Helfer lead them to the living room. “The village has been a mess lately, O’Kana. Kasenfer, well, he has returned, returned for you.” “What does Kasenfer want with me anyway?” O’Kana looked into his brother’s eyes, seeking the truth, then what Helfer has been telling him. “He… he want you because, you aren’t a normal teenager, O’Kana.” Alez looked very confused, she wanted to ask something, but she kept her mouth shut. “What do you mean? How am I not a normal teen?” “You are a kanta, a person with high powers. Powers, powers the Gods dream to have.” “Why have you kept this from me?” “It was for your own good, O’Kana. My master, Sensei Yokashi, told me to give you this when you were ready.” Helfer went to a drawer, which has been locked for years, took a key, and opened it. He took out a small stone, the size of a marble. “This, this, O’Kana is the Stone of Ice. A powerful stone it is, more powerful than the Stone of Water father had given me. We all have known of your gift, and then Kasenfer found out, he wants to use you for his own game.” He took a small glance of Alez, twisting her jacket strings. “It would be better off, if you and Alez don’t travel together.” Alez looked up in alarm. “WHAT? Alez and I have been traveling together for two years and nothing has happened.” O’Kana stood up furious. “Yet, nothing has happened, yet. Something will, and I doubt you want Alez to get harmed because of your destiny. If you want to put her in harm, go ahead, but you better tell how she got killed at her funeral.” Helfer was even more furious then his brother. The two brothers looked angrily in each others eyes. “I won’t get killed.” Alez finally spoke up. “Because, I am to a kanta, and I possess the Stone of Earth.” O’Kana was speechless; Helfer looked at her in surprise. This lovely girl was a kanta and posses the Stone of Earth. Neither boy could believe it. O’Kana had known Alez for two years, and she had said nothing. Helfer had known her for only moments, but he still could not believe it. “Alezanda Kanquchi, why haven’t you said anything before,” O’Kana said with a stern voice. Alez looked up; she saw anger and sadness in her friend’s eyes. “I figured you didn’t need to know.” Her soft voice didn’t make O’Kana any happier, he just got madder. The next thing Alez and Helfer knew O’Kana slamed the door behind him, leaving the room and entering the town; he was in search of Kasenfer’s castle. Alez got up and rushed after her friend, but Helfer stopped her. “Leave him, Alez. He’ll be fine, O’Kana just needs some air.” “He’s going after Kasenfer, I can feel it. He’s going to turn himself in. We… I have to stop him.” Alez left so fast that Helfer couldn’t stop her.

I admit that I only read the first half, and the last few sentences, but I see a bit of room for improvement. The biggest thing that irked me was the use of "bye" where there should have been "by." The story seems okay, though I have no idea what's going on. The beginning could be a bit longer and more elaborate, you could add a whole lot that could subtly explain the next section, and if you put it in italics to seem like a memory - which it is - and rework the connecting sentence it might turn out stronger. This next part is just a suggestion, but I imagine that in the "memory," if you changed it to first-person, it would draw the reader in more - wanting to know more about this character identified preliminarily only as "I."
Kay, I commented your work, now comment mine!
