This sounds interesting already. Although, i find it difficult to flow with so much typo/spelling errors but I can't wait to read and find out how Maria survived in that strange world.

This is an idea that looks good on paper and, from the sound of it, has been executed well. There's potential for great narrative twisting in the idea that keepers and companions aren't allowed to be intimate because then you have yo ask how the companions fill the breeding side of their roles or if intimate takes on a different meaning. There's also the budding relationship between Orook and Maria to consider because what does it mean to be, essentially, a captive when neither prisoner nor warden want it?
