Karna's Secret (On hold)

Lost in pain, guilt and endless suffering was a child who feld for his life from the war torn Aryavart.

He had nothing more with him, his memories failed him and yet he was taken in and given the name Perseus.

He grew up, became Greece's most beloved warrior. But was that the end? Or was it just the beginning of a nightmare.

Buried within his forgotten past lies a book. A book which took several lives. A book which holds a secret which died with its master in battle.

"Who are you?"

"The all knowing, all powerful...."

"I didn't ask for subtitles!" Exclaimed Perseus.

They dangerously held their swords against each other's throats. Their eyes challenged one another, yet neither of them were willing to battle it with their swords.

"Why do you need this book?" Asked Vatsala. "Why did you....kill...."

"Mere mortals such as yourself are so foolish!" Laughed the man. "Hand me the book, or else none of you live."

They looked around and realised they were surrounded by armed men who were ready to strike as soon as the signal was given.

"Percy, let him go." She softly suggested, by gently placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I have their leader, they won't kill us." He replied.

"You don't get them yet," sighed Vatsala, "they are not one, they are many. He that was made within one, is not one."

Perseus dropped the sword and the book was handed to the man. They were at their wits ends. Would they succeed? Would they succumb to evil?

Trapped, encoded, shrouded in mystery is a dangerous secret. The ones who knew it, died. Would they meet the same fate as that of the past?
