Krishna & Karn: Similar Destiny

3. first meeting

KESHAV!

The man standing in front of me, in all his glory and divinity was unknown to me but I felt like that I knew him my whole life.

His curly black long hair falls freely on his shoulders, His skin is black as well but like the sky without any moon, his smoothing aura hides his eyes that are like hawks no maybe comparing them with peacocks eyes would be better.
They are blue of course his eyes, holding the sky within them. Suddenly a warm and comfortable aura has enveloped me that emanated from him. He had a subtle all-knowing smile.

He didn't look at me directly till now but I knew he had acknowledged my presence in here.

His general deminer is unearthly almost like the mythical hero you hear about in folktales and stories.

Yes, that is where you found him in stories, not in front of your eyes, living, and breathing.

"If I may ask, what fault was this poor bird that you had to kill him". And talking, 

He askes in his sweet but sour voice. I felt bad, I don't know why but I felt bad hearing his sorrowful voice. maybe the bird was special to him as well I thought.

"We were practicing, and he was unfortunate enough to get in between our targets. This is not our fault here?"  Suyo said, unapologetically and almost proud of what he did. Sometimes I feel like shutting his mouth and this was one of them.

But he rarely hears my word, as a matter of fact, he rarely hears anyone's word.

But, "that's no reason to harm a voiceless creature, my dear cousin. if you are so proud of your ability then you better show them in competition not here." said Keshav while smirking ruefully. 

Duryodhan did not have a favorable opinion of his intruder as he seemed eager to take arms against him and said that he has no brother like him that is not even polite to introduce himself first.

To which Keshav just laughed, in his sweet but enigmatic voice. hehe

But soon his smooth yet penetrating gaze grabs the attention of the fallen creature as if looking into its soul itself. 

But surprisingly before Duryodhan could speak anymore Mama Shakuni told him to be silent. 

"Mera bacha, keep calm - calm. we will talk later now is no time to argue with this trickster here".  he whispered in his ears and takes him away.

It was refreshing to see fear in mama Shakuni's eyes. Now they were gone.

And I was all alone with this man that even made Shakuni shiver and retreat. 

what am I supposed to do, to say? I don't have anything to speak. So he fills in the silence with his words.

"were you also one of the people who hurt my friend?"  he questions me in an almost threatening voice.

I wasn't scared but disappointed that he thought so little of me but what can I say this is our first meeting. 

So I explained, "no it was not me I tried to protect him but I was too late. so maybe some fault lies with me as well, I am sorry." but concluded ultimately my mistake in the matter.

And though there goes my chance to befriend him now, no future for us anymore.
But he surprisingly smiled and nodded as though accepting my half-assed apology. 

I looked at the dying bird trying to steal what little more it could from life but death was approaching fast.

And that when I saw the first of many miracles that were going to be performed by this mysterious man.
