We entered a secret cove in the Ocean of Milk. "This is perfect." Aranya said. "We have to figure out how to defeat Duryodhana. For that, we need to attack their stronghold." Yudhishthira said.
"Exactly. So, we'll need to attack Amaravati. And I'm guessing he still has his 'invulnerable' blessing from his mother."
"So I'll need to hit him in his vulnerable spot. One tiny hiccup. I tried killing Duryodhana using his vulnerable spot, but it was hard as a diamond. Nothing worked. " Bhima said, while eating a paneer roll the dhaba owner had generously given.
"Let's cross that bridge when we come to it." Sid suggested.
"Won't we need to build up an army?" Arjuna asked. "We will. It will basically consist of the rebel yakshas and yakshinis." I said.
Suddenly, Aranya's eyes glowed white, like she was getting a vision. "What did you see?" Sam asked excitedly.
"The Kauravas were in a circle, surrounding Karna. They were chanting something, but I couldn't hear it."
"We need to know what happened at Amaravati, when we lost the war." Karnya egged on.
"Well, like Bhima said, Duryodhana was invulnerable. So were the other Kauravas. The traitor Karna was nowhere to be seen." said Yudhishthira.
Aranya seemed to be putting the pieces of the puzzle together. "What if..... what if the Kauravas have put their power, channelized it in Karna? Maybe they were protecting him on the day of the battle."
"That is a powerful spell. They do trust Karna with their lives.... But he has to have a weak spot. And we cannot stab him anywhere in the wrong place until he kills you. You kids-" Yudhishthira was interrupted by a loud cough from Sid.
"- Technically, I am legally an adult." he said primly. "But you choose to hang out with us, so what does that say about your mental age?" Aranya asked, laughing.
Yudhishthira rolled his eyes and said, "You are very powerful, but you have not unlocked your full potential. Karna has had years of training, and is skillful. So you definitely cannot kill him like that. You need to know his weak spot to kill him."
A loud rumbling marked our departure.
