Out of the many stories I've been wanting to write, this one has finally made the cut, and it'll break from the usual formula that my stories have, not entirely but it's different enough so that it stands out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this first post I'm not gonna start the story, but give you a detailed outline of the world in which 'The Hunt' takes place.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'The Hunt' takes place in a fictional island country known as Bourasa. The country has seen it's fair share of internal war, disputes and political disasters. 150 years before the story starts, it was decided that the only way to survive would be to segregate the genders, so that they can live their own way without getting in the way of each other.
It was decreed that the women stay in The Spires, a shaded fortress of commerce where the women can survive without venturing out and destroying things, instead living off 'endless' resources and having a lifestyle dedicated to Unity, Harmony and Equality (which is ironic, because in order to truly have that the would need males).
The Women live in a hierarchy upon which material wealth = status.
They have very little need for men by Spires Law. A law which decrees that once every 7 years 'The Hunt' takes place.
'The Hunt' is an event which lasts a year.In which males are captured from The Outlands and brought back to The Spires in order to both keep the population of Bourasa up and gather supplies, working themselves to death, or if they are unsatisfactory, exile.
The males on the other hand, live a simpler existence.
They are all equal to another and work together to survive in The Outlands, a dense area where food and resources are scarce, but they still have the means to go on.
During the time of 'The Hunt' the Men hide from the women the best they can, believing that it's more noble to die naturally when all is lost, instead of being forced to continue.

Now, onto the plot.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Curt, A young male, is curious to venture to The Spires. Despite being warned of the dangers the females pose to him. He believes that the segregation is wrong and wants to convince Materna, leader of Women that they should unite, this is his perilous journey.

Hope that's comprehensible, first chapter will be up soon.
