Short Story

My story is based on a historical drama that aired on 2000. I forgot many parts to it so it may be different.
In the 800's AD, the Unified Silla Kingdom of Korea is declining. It is on its way to downfall. Many people were starving, many chose to be gangs that steal food and goods, and many were disloyal towards the Silla government and rebelled. In the midst of all this was Gungye of the Silla royal house, Wanggun of Songak (Gaesong) and Gyeonhwon in the Southwest. Gungye was ordered to be killed so he fled and was placed in Saedalsa and worshipped Buddha. He would one day think of himself and eventually tell someone that he was the Mireuk (something very high in Buddhism). Along with his freind, he set out to the outside world and helped many people, gaining fame in teh process. He became freinds with some who would become his generals and started building his army. Gyeonhwon was a son of Ajagae. Even in his early days he showed great strength and loved combat. At the age of fifteen he called himself Gyeonhwon an joined the Silla military nad later became a general. As he was sent to the Southwestern region, he brought rebel leaders to his control and brought peasants to his cause. One day, he striked Mujinju (Gwangju) and established Later Baekje. The reason why its called that way is because there was a fallen Kingdom callde Baekje before, and its that Gyeonhwon's will was to revive it. He later moved the capital to Wansan (Jeonju). Gungye, after realizing this, striked the northern territories of Unified Silla and named his nation Later Goguryeo. He later named it Majin, and then Taebong. By doing so, he earned a special man, a man named Wanggun. Wanggun was a son of Wangryoong, a great merchant of Songak (Gaesong) and from his early days travelled to surrounding nations. When he was born, there was a great symbolic sign, a sign that shows that he would bcome a great man. Soon, the revived nations of Goguryeo and one that of Baekje would fight for the supremacy of the territory south of Balhae. This part is the expositoin because it mentions the main characters, the setting and the main conflict.
Gyeonhwon and Gungye's ambitions were to unite the later three Kingdoms. Gungye's dream was even further than that. He wanted to conquer up north into Manchuria just as Goguryeo once did. Gyeonhwon wanted to glorify his Later Baekje an avenge the last king of Baekje, Uija. Wanggun became a general and led succesful engagements against Later Baekje. He was very popular among the people, even Ajagae admired him and Gunye considered him as his brother. Gungye turned evil and had to be removed. Wanggun was chosen as king and established his Goguryeo Kingdom called Goryeo in 918. Goryeo and Later Baekje battled. Silla was a weakling.
This part is the rising action because the conflicts are developed. The rulers have their dreams which result to war.
Gyeonhwon among all his offspring liked his fourth son Geumgang the most. One day he chose him as the chosen crown prince of Later Baekje. Many people of the government of Later Baekje did not like this for they preferred Shingum, the eldest son of Gyeonhwon. As for Shingum. he was feeling raging jealousy and unfairness and along with two other sons of Gyeonhwon, Yanggum and Yonggum, decided to bring about a coup. Mant generals joined them and killed Pajinchan, a important government person and tactician as well as their obvious target, Geumgang. Gyeonhwon was in a stunning rage after he found out the deed. Unfortunatley, he was placed in Geumsansa, and the ruler of Later Baekje was Shingum. Influenced by someone high in Buddhism, Gyeonhwon decided to something that would end the existence of Later Baekje. He fled to Goryeo. There he was suprisingly welcomed by Wanggun and Wanggun influencd by Gyeonhwon, he decided to attack Later Baekje with a force of 100,000.
This part is the climax because Gyeonhwon flees to Goryeo, a turining point in the story. Also the main character, Wanggun changes by welcoming his sworn enemy.
The forces of Later Baekje and Goryeo met in Seonsan Gumi. Many of the Later Baekje forces lost morale as they saw their king in the Goryeo army and submitted. The battle was a piece of cake for Goryeo. Shingum retreated and the last movement of his army was put down by a Goryeo ambush. After much thought, Shingum surrendered to Goryeo. Neungae, his uncle, Ichan, and a general were executed. The drama tells that it might have been the same for Shingum and his exiled brothers Yanggum and Yonggum. Thus it marked the end of Later Baekje at the year of 936. This part is the falling action because the conflict is taken care of . Later Baekje fell.
Before the fall of Goryeo's rival, Silla had submitted to Wanggun's kingdom for King Gyeongsun could not rule and the kingdom lost all its strength. Before that, Balhae, another succesor state of Goguryeo fell to the Khitans and many sought refuge to Goryeo and they were warmly 's welcomed and became assimilate to the Goryeo population. So Wanggun's Goryeo achieved a full unification, one that would go on uintil the year 1392. From 1392, the dynasty would be different, but Korean people would still be ruled under one single entity until 1910. This part is a resolutoin because it comes to a reasonble ending.
The conflict of this story is that Later Baekje and two revived kingdoms of Goryeo do most of the battle to dominate the territory south of Balhae. The kingdoms stem from the will of men who wanted to revive fallen nations for Silla was weakening too much and they knew it would fall by itself.
