The concept of this story is an important one to explore, and I'm glad it's being done.
Personally, I believe it's time for our species to (take the first steps of breaking the ground in preparation to) move beyond the concept of heroes and monsters.
The character that was most enjoyably alive for me, despite her brief appearances, was the court jester. By comparison, the Hero felt a bit more two-dimensional; I wonder whether that was intended-- as the lack of names was-- to keep the character archetypal. I heard something recently... that the personal, the specific-- despite its difference-- is in fact what we relate to and what makes a story universally appealing and accessible.
The lack of names works for me; but I would have liked some fleshing out of the Hero. A few strategically arranged words-- as was done to such great effect with the jester!
