As the sun began to set, Karna and his family decided to rest for the night in the village on the outskirts of Vrindavan.
They found a humble inn where they could find respite and recharge for the next leg of their journey. Shaurya, always vigilant, settled beside Karna, his presence a comforting reminder of the divine connection they shared.
As Karna lay on his bed, his mind filled with thoughts and questions about the journey and the significance of Shaurya's presence.
Karna's thoughts swirled with a mix of curiosity and anticipation.
He couldn't shake the feeling that there was a greater purpose behind their journey, something beyond their understanding.
The stories of Lord Vishnu's avatars, particularly Narasimha, resonated deeply within him, and he couldn't help but wonder if Shaurya held a divine connection to these tales.
Lost in contemplation, Karna found solace in Artemis's guidance. He knew she possessed immense knowledge and could shed light on the mysteries around them.
"Artemis, what do you think about the connection between Shaurya and Lord Vishnu's avatar, Narasimha? Is it possible that Shaurya is an embodiment of that divine presence?"
Artemis's voice carried a soothing tone as she responded.
["Karna, the legends and myths of deities and their incarnations often transcend time and space. While it is impossible to say with certainty, the parallels between Shaurya and Narasimha are indeed remarkable. The divine has a way of manifesting in mysterious ways, and it is not uncommon for certain individuals or beings to carry the essence of a powerful entity. Shaurya's presence in your life may be connected to Lord Vishnu's divine plan, but only time will reveal the full extent of this connection."]
Karna absorbed Artemis's words, finding comfort in her wisdom. He knew that their journey to Vrindavan held profound significance, not only for him but also for the people around him. The thought of being a part of something greater than himself filled him with purpose and determination.
As Karna drifted off to sleep, his mind filled with dreams of ancient tales and divine interventions. He knew that the path ahead was filled with challenges and revelations, but he was ready to embrace it all, guided by his family, Shaurya, and Artemis's presence.
The next morning, as the sun's gentle rays peeked through the window of the inn, Karna awoke with renewed energy and determination. He gathered his belongings, ensuring that he was prepared for the next phase of their journey.
Stepping outside, Karna found his family and Shaurya waiting for him. Their eyes met, and in that silent exchange, they reaffirmed their commitment to the path they had chosen. The wheels of the carriage were once again set in motion, as they continued their pilgrimage to Vrindavan.
The carriage wheels rolled on, carrying Karna, his family, and Shaurya closer to their destination. The landscape transformed as they journeyed further into the heart of Vrindavan, revealing breathtaking scenes of lush gardens, sacred temples, and the serene Yamuna River.
"Maa (Mother) where are we going to live?"
Radha Maa (Mother) smiled warmly at him, her eyes filled with love and reassurance.
"Don't worry, My dear. In Vrindavan, we have purchased a house right next to Cowherd-chief Nanda Baba's residence."
'Damn, Being neighbour of Lord Krishna right off the bat.'
Karna couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and awe at the thought of living so close to Nanda Baba, the foster father of Lord Krishna. The connection to divinity seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment, and Karna's anticipation reached new heights.
As their carriage approached their new home, Karna's eyes widened in amazement.
The house stood amidst a vibrant garden, adorned with colorful flowers and lush greenery. The architecture was intricate, reflecting the beauty and grandeur of the sacred land they had entered.
Karna stepped out of the carriage, his heart filled with gratitude for the blessings that had brought them to this place.
He joined his family and Shaurya, their footsteps echoing as they approached the entrance of their new abode.
As they crossed the threshold, a sense of peace enveloped Karna. The air was filled with a gentle fragrance, carrying whispers of divine presence.
'Artemis, Is Lord Krishna already here?'
[Yes Host, Lord Krishna just came two days ago.]
'The- !!! What was that Artemis?'
Karna's blood started to boil or more specifically Indrajit's bloodline.
[Karna, There is an Asura nearby which activated Indrajit's bloodline before time.]
'This doesn't make any sense, Artemis?'
[Karna, Indrajit's Bloodline within you is being activated but only 5%, Because 95% is sealed within you. The Asura's presence seems to have triggered a partial awakening of that power within you.]
Karna took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. The sudden awakening of his dormant abilities posed a new challenge, one that required careful control and understanding.
'Artemis, how do I navigate this awakening? How do I ensure that I use this power responsibly?'
Artemis's voice resonated with guidance and reassurance.
[Karna, the key lies in self-awareness and self-discipline. Embrace your lineage and the power that resides within you, but always remember the values and principles that guide you. Seek knowledge and guidance from those who have walked a similar path before you. And most importantly, listen to your inner voice, the voice of compassion and righteousness. It will guide you in making decisions that align with your true purpose.]
Karna nodded, absorbing Artemis's wisdom. He knew that this newfound power came with great responsibility, and he was determined to wield it for the betterment of those around him.
'But what about that Asura? Do you know who it is?'
[ Rakshasi (Demoness) Putana.]
Artemis's voice took on a serious tone as she addressed Karna's question.
Putana? The demoness who attempted to kill Lord Krishna when he was an infant?'
Karna's eyes narrowed with determination.
[Yes, Karna. Putana is a formidable adversary, known for her deceptive and deadly ways. But remember, you are not alone in this. I and Shaurya will provide you with support and strength. Trust in your abilities, and together, you will overcome any challenge that comes your way.]
As Karna listened to Artemis's words, a sense of resolve washed over him. He knew that facing Putana would be a daunting task, but with Artemis and Shaurya by his side, he felt a newfound strength within him.
"I will not let Putana harm Lord Krishna or anyone else. I will do whatever it takes to protect the people and fulfill my purpose,"
Karna declared with conviction.
Shaurya arrived at Karna's side, his eyes filled with determination and loyalty. The majestic lion's presence alone exuded strength and courage, a symbol of the divine protection that surrounded them.
[Ding! A Quest]
[Name: Asura Attacks]
[Objective: Kill/Defeat the Demoness Putana(0/1)]
[Rewards: 5 Gold Upgrading Tickets, 2x Treasure Box(S)]
[Do you want to accept the Quest?]
[Yes/No]
Karna's heart raced with a mix of excitement and determination. He took a deep breath and reached out, accepting the quest.
"Yes, I accept the quest. I will defeat Putana and protect Lord Krishna and the people of Vrindavan."
With his acceptance, a surge of energy flowed through Karna, confirming his commitment to the task at hand.
He knew that this battle would be the first of many, but he was ready to face the challenges head-on, fueled by his love for his family and the divine purpose that guided him.
'Can you guide me to the location of Putana, Artemis?'
[Of course, Karna. I will guide you to the location where Putana has been sighted. Follow my directions, And together, we will ensure the safety of Lord Krishna and the people of Vrindavan.]
"You should thank me too"
A heavy voice full of pride and confidence resonated in Karna's mind.
