I have to say, your descriptions are excellent. I wasn't so much reading what you wrote as seeing what you thought. The dialogue feels natural, and there are very distinct differences between the characters. With the addition of the "s"'s to Po-Rah's speak, it gave him, at least in my mind, a very Gollum-y feel, kind of a quirky feel.Of course, there are one or two things that I feel could be improved. One is the feel, and here are some particulars: I think that might flow better as Also: I think the word causing kind of stumbles the sentence a bit. Maybe say it like: A great thing to do would be to read your story out loud after you've written it. If it doesn't feel natural when you say it, it may not turn out so well when it's written, either. Of course, flow is rather minor, and obviously, if the story is good, it's easily overlooked.To touch on the characters and plot; without so much as an introduction, you do give the characters a good bit of personality. The only thing is that from the beginning, I had it in my mind that Tarau and Po-Rah's relationship was closer to a Frodo and Gollum as opposed to a Frodo and Sam. It isn't until Teridax takes over Po-Rah's body that Tarau's affection becomes apparent. Of course, if that's a purposeful plot device, it can work, but in this case, it doesn't strike me as that.To segue right into the plot, I feel that it was very solid. The idea is interesting, and the execution is excellent. I especially like that the story has an air of mystery. There's no telling what will happen next. For example, from Teridax's appearance to the end, I wasn't sure if he was going to trick Tarau or be as honest as a Makuta can be :POverall, I'd say this is a very solid work, with just some stumbling blocks in the way of flow. Your descriptions are excellent, characters are as deep as you can get with a story this length, and the plot is intriguing. I hope to see more from you!
