The History
Blades of Youth[CONTENTID1]PROLOGUE[/CONTENTID1][CONTENTID2]THE HISTORY[/CONTENTID2][CONTENTID3]As famously told by a historian from a futuristic world—Joanne Kim, 2101-2196
Unlike ordinary parents, my mother always used to tell me about the adventures during her youth; stories of her past rather than fairy tales. With each story she told, she added, "It is not the human mind that makes up an individual. It is the heart." I was young then and did not know better, ignoring her stories and ignoring her wise words.
It cannot be argued that the human brain is one of nature's most remarkable creations. The flexibility, the adaptability, the ability to cope, explore and express humane emotions is what separates us from the great apes. Yet with an intellect so great, we often become dehumanized. So dehumanized that we as a race turn our backs on one another; becoming mindless cannibals, becoming cold-blooded, becoming inhuman. The emotions that humans are capable of feeling are broad and often in order to satisfy our desires we are induced to make sacrifices. This was the ideology that humans used to initiate wars—the war of 2035 that killed my great grandparents, and the war of 2075 that eradicated my grandfather from the surface of this earth.
2035 saw a shocking twist to the communist world. Kim Jong-Un; a man of frightening power, temporarily stepped down, leaving all power to his daughter; Kim Ju-Ae, as he underwent numerous medical procedures to heal his rapidly deteriorating body. Young and naive, Ju-Ae soon fell prey to the prying eyes of politicians and eventually garnered attention from world leaders, all for the wrong reasons. Within weeks, articles and releases from the media closely monitored her as she took on the burden of becoming North Korea
