God of War

A son's quest

After the sabha fiasco, Dury and his brothers congratulate Karna.

Dury, 'Mitra, from now on you are my most trusted advisor. Till now you gave us advice in secret but now it is official. But why did you pretend to be illiterate? Ved Vyas himself praised you for your knowledge, is he your Guru?'

Karna, 'Mitra, Gyan makes a human polite not arrogant. I did not pretend anything, I just did not flaunt by knowledge like Yudi or Sahadev in every step.'

Yuyutsu, 'The way you always talk about politics and other royal staffs I have an idea that you are not what you are showing. There are many layers on you.'

Karna just smiled. In Devlok Narad thought, 'Narayan Narayan.... it is not easy to understand the seventh form of Param Brahhmma. Many sages, Devs even can't comprehend his depth. But I am scared for the Kuru elders and the Devputras. Dev Vasusen is going to give them a very hard time.'

While in Gandhari's room, Gandhari called her sons and their friends and said, 'Putra Karna, thanks for protesting against our insults but now you will become an easy target. All elders will be against you. Your father is a loyal charioteer of Tatshri and like others, he also does not like us. At least he did not insult us but still. Being close to us will be problematic to you.'

Karna, 'Mata do you not want me near your family?'

Gandhari, 'Putra, you are the sunshine in our gloomy life. Till now we have no one but just because of your luck my sons got recognition. You and Aditya are God's blessing for us. But No one knows about Aditya and he is a capable fighter but what about you?'

Vikarna, 'Mata that's why we want to take Karna with us to our practice with the Rakshaks. He also can learn weapons from them.'

Karna, 'No my prince I don't want any special training. Nothing will happen to me and if we all go together then it will create suspicion. Mata Gandhari and Maharaj will also become completely vulnerable. As we appointed our trusted maids and servants, we need to appoint some trusted and capable guards as well.'

Dury, 'Okay, I got a message from Aditya that he wants me to meet him urgently. So we  have to go and Karna are you sure you don't want to learn weapons?'

Karna, 'Yes prince, actually I am not good in this stuff. So they cannot teach me and it will be waste of time but don't worry I can manage myself.'

 Krishna, 'Yes, Dev Vasusen is not good in weapons. It seems like either my ears turn bad that I am hearing all nonsense or Karna turns mad and speaking gibberish.'

Karna, 'Come on Pravu...don't be such a drama queen. A little lie never hurt anyone.'

Krishna, 'It hurts my feelings.'

Karna,'Awwww...I have no idea that you love me so much.'

Krishna, 'Stop teasing me and go and meet Dury as Aditya. How long will this game of secret identity continue?'

Karna, 'The time for revealing my identity has still not come. Have patience Pravu. You are Mahavishnu himself, you cannot be such impatient.'

Krishna, 'Okay as you wish. And don't need to taunt me. I was just asking.'

In forest,

When HP princes reached to the meeting place, they saw Aditya and Rakshaks were waiting. Then Aditya said, 'Prince I need to introduce you to someone.' Then he brought Shakuni in front of him and said, 'I want you to appoint him as your servant. Actually, he is a political genius and he can help Karna and you in administrative staff but I want you not to disclose his identity to anyone. Introduce him as a servant. Be careful so that no one, especially Bheesm and Vidur gets suspicious. Also, it will be better if he does not go too close to the kuru elders. Okay....'
