Creativity
- The story seems quite original and interesting, quite hard to maintain but you're doing a great job so far. I hope you have some amazing idea's for the rest of the plot ^^ And the story's trotting along quite nicely. I still have a lot of questions about the themes and story line but I'm assuming we'll have those answered as the story goes.
- The characters are quite unique and seem to have interesting back stories, I hope they'll be expanded later on.
- There's not much dialogue and who's saying what can sometimes be a little confusing (I mean, you can work it out although it would make it easier if you put a name to it).
Technique
- The length of the chapters are fine, I'm usually easy on both; whether they're long or short but I must say, the short chapters really help the pace of this story.
- There are a few spelling mistakes in the first chapter (nothing major to really mention) but thought you might want to know them to keep your writing look more professional. I haven't found any more so good job. You might want to use more than comma's though. Colons and semi-colons are a great way to separate sentences.

"Again, Kree."
He could feel the intense gaze of his father burning into his body, only bearable by his mother's gentle aura wreathing around him as he perfected the silent sprint. Once the mouse was trapped in his paws, he quickly ended it's life to ensure that he didn't look like a coward in front of his father.
The question bounced off the trunks of every tree as the distant family padded back to their cave in the pale light of dusk.
At that moment, Zorr's head whipped around to glare at his mother, his intimidating gaze just grazing the top of the white Kakushi's head as fury radiated off of him in waves.
- And your technique's extremely effective in setting the scene, maybe you could also use it to describe your characters more. Josiah was described very vaguely and I would love to get a better image for him if he plays a big part of the story.
For the summary, I would definitely peg this down as a Mystery/Fantasy. And you could maybe describe the main character and the fact that the story follows him?
Note: I love the use of the Glossary, definitely helped.
Sorry this is so long but hope this helps in your writing and I look forward to reading more.
