"Manastorm - The Quickening, Book One" - Tell me your thoughts!

Hello my dearies!
I've got a special task for you and I really do need your help, so please keep reading :)
My two WiPs (Works in Progress) are coming along swell, but I'm ever the worrier when it comes to my work and I haven't had much luck with finding my special someone, betareader-wise. After a bit of thinking and a little cider, I decided I want to try something new:

A story hook poll! Whee!

Eh... What?
My thoughts are as follows - The first pages of a book decide if a reader likes or hates a story.  Those first few pages, or rather the first chapter, also make or break the atmosphere of a book. They have to be just right, hit that sweet spot so to say, to pull in a reader and drag him along (sometimes against their will, ha!).
Do my WiP stories have what it takes? I have no idea!
Which is where you come in. I've added a link at the end of this post that will lead you to the hook of my primary project, "Manastorm". At the end of the hook, you will find a link to a Google Poll site where you will be asked two to four questions with very basic/simple answering options. All you have to do is read through the hook (or read as far as you like, then scroll down to the link), click the link and answer the questions. No registration necessary, no personal info needed, I will not ask for an e-mail address or anything else. (Of course, if you fall in love with the story and want to be notified when it's up for ARC reading or publishing, I do have a lovely newsletter...)

So yeah, let's try this story hook poll thing. Ready? Here goes:
