A Light In The Dark

A Light In The Dark

First part

It was the year 2967. The country I live in is ruled by a mad and greedy tyrant.

The country is called Idun, but before that it was called Canada. Everything was much better before the new leader came, his name is Asun II. Everyone was happy and most had a home to live in but when Asun became the ruler of Idun, most people had to live on the streets or they’ll die soon. Either from hunger or from the diseases that the sick

animals bring with them. Asun II

introduced casts. First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and then they come casteless. Everyone has a job here in society, but it is the first, second and third castes are the one who has it the best. The higher you are, the better your life is and you get better jobs. But I'm here to stop this terrible caste system and rule Asun and it once and for all. My name is

Melissa, remember that.

It all started when our previous leader Samuel III was poisoned and died. No one knows who it was, but all the

lower castes assume it was Asun. I'm in caste number 5 so my life is not as bad as most. My mother is a musician and my father died in the military. You see the country Idun is at war with Mandlia, formerly known as China. All men over the age of 16 must go into the military and if you survive for five years you can go home to your family. I have three siblings so it is difficult for our mother so everyone helps with what they can. I have two brothers and a sister. My brothers are named Marcus and Venus and are 13 and 22 years old, while my sister is named Adele and is 15 years old. There is not much food to come by these days. The reasons are either that all the upper castes can afford the food and buys it or Asun eats it, or they send it to the military.

I can no longer do this. Every time I leave the house I see sick and homeless people. I wish everything was as before as when Samuel III ruled Idun, so I will do everything I can to destroy Asun and his empire. My plan is that I must first get a job at the castle. My sister works at there and she can get me into the castle and a job there. She sews clothes and embroideres. All the clothes she sews and embroideres goes to the higher castes and the rich people.

When I'm employed there, I'll find

evidence that it was Asun who

poisoned Samuel lll. Then surely the whole country will go against Asun and they will either sentence him to death or they’ll make him suffer in any way possible. So EVERYTHING has to go according to plan. The whole

country depends on it.
