Chapter No.41 Reunion
41 Chapter No.41 Reunion Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Karna's heart yearned for his homeland, for the familiar sights and sounds that he had left behind. The Kingdom of Panchal had provided them with a sanctuary, but now it was time to return to where they truly belonged.
"Let us make our way back to Vrindavan," Karna declared, his voice filled with determination.
"Then how should we proceed like by walking or flying all the way?"
As Kali, Shaurya, and Karna stood on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Panchal, contemplating their journey back to Vrindavan, Karna weighed their options.
"We have two main choices," Karna began. "We can either walk back to Vrindavan or seek alternative means of transportation. Walking would take time, but it could also allow us to experience the journey and encounter new adventures along the way. However, given the distance and the potential dangers we may encounter, it might be a more challenging path."
Kali nodded in agreement, "Walking might be adventurous, but it could be tiring and time-consuming. Perhaps we should fly like before but not in a hurry like before."
Karna considered Kali's suggestion, realizing that flying could indeed be a faster and more efficient way to travel back to Vrindavan.
"Flying does seem like a viable option," Karna agreed. "However, let's take a different approach this time. Instead of rushing through the skies, let's take our time and enjoy the journey. We can soar above the landscapes, witness the beauty of nature, and perhaps even discover hidden places along the way like Kali said."
Shaurya, the magnificent white lion, let out a gentle roar, expressing his excitement at the prospect of flying once again. Kali grinned and nodded, eager for a leisurely flight filled with new sights and experiences.
'Oh right, Athena.'
[Yes, Karna?]
'What about the clue about Shaurya? when will I get it?'
As Karna pondered the question about the clue regarding Shaurya's destiny, he turned his attention to Athena, the wise and knowledgeable goddess who had been guiding him throughout his journey.
Athena's voice resonated in Karna's mind,
[The clue you seek, dear Karna, will reveal itself when the time is right. Shaurya's destiny is intricately linked to the balance of the world, And 'World' will answer your question.]
'World huh~ then answers are waiting for me at home.'
As Karna contemplated Athena's words, a sense of anticipation filled his heart. He understood that the answers he sought regarding Shaurya's destiny and the mysterious beasts lay in his homeland, Vrindavan. The mention of "World" as the key to his question resonated with him.
"Let's go Friends they are waiting for us, And I too am missing them very much~."
Karna unfolded his golden wings and flew to the sky, While Shaurya transformed into his Dive mode and Kali set on top of him and followed behind Karna while laughing.
As Karna, Shaurya, and Kali soared through the sky, they embarked on a leisurely journey back to Vrindavan. Their flight was filled with wonder and excitement as they marvelled at the beauty of the landscapes below. They encountered lush forests, flowing rivers, and majestic mountains, taking in the breathtaking sights from above.
During their flight, Karna couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for Vrindavan, his beloved home. He thought of the people he cared about, Including little Krishna.
[Some days later]
As they flew closer to Vrindavan, Karna's anticipation grew. He knew that his return would not only bring him closer to the answers he sought but also reunite him with his loved ones. The thought of their warm embraces and shared laughter filled him with a deep sense of joy and purpose.
With each passing moment, the familiar sights and sounds of Vrindavan began to emerge. The vibrant colours of the flowers, the melodies of the birds, and the laughter of children playing in the streets enveloped Karna's senses. It was as if the land itself welcomed him back, embracing him in its loving embrace.
Finally, Karna and his companions landed in Vrindavan, greeted by the smiling faces of familiar villagers. They were met with open arms and joyous celebrations, as news of Karna's return spread quickly through the town.
After some greetings and excuses, Karna ran all the way to his house, his heart pounding with excitement. As he reached the doorstep, he saw his loved ones waiting for him - his mother, Radha, and little Krishna. Tears of joy filled his eyes as he embraced them tightly, feeling an overwhelming sense of belonging and love.
Amidst the warm reunion, Krishna looked at Karna and said, "Welcome back, Bhrata (Brother). I knew you would return to us." There was a knowing glint in Krishna's eyes as if he held a deeper understanding of Karna's journey and the destiny that awaited Shaurya.
(A/N: Karna was away from home for 4-5 months including staying at the Kingdom of Panchal. And in that Krishna learned to talk somewhat.)
As Karna held his loved ones close, he couldn't help but be touched by Krishna's words. There was a profound connection between them, something that transcended ordinary brotherhood. Karna had always felt a special bond with Krishna, an unspoken understanding that went beyond words.
"How I stayed away from my home, From all of you for so long only I know."
Karna's voice trembled with emotion as he spoke to his family. He looked into their eyes, conveying his deep love and remorse for the time he had been apart from them.
Radha, his mother, placed a hand on his cheek, her eyes brimming with affection. "My dear son, we understand."
"KARNAAAAA" x4
"ROAAARRRR"
Amid the heartwarming reunion, Shaurya let out a mighty roar, drawing everyone's attention. The magnificent white lion stood tall, his presence exuding strength and majesty. The villagers looked on in awe and wonder at the sight of the divine beast, who had become a beloved figure in Vrindavan during his time there.
And Kali shouted his name from Shaurya's back, While Khushi and Hina shouted from inside the house rushing toward Karna like two missiles one red and another black collided/crashed on him(Karna). He didn't even know when Radha Maa (Mother) and little Krishna moved away from him.
Amidst the chaos of the crashing and colliding, Karna found himself surrounded by his energetic friends, Khushi and Hina. They showered him with hugs and laughter, their excitement infectious.
"Karna! You're finally back!" Khushi exclaimed, her eyes shining with happiness. "We missed you so much!"
Hina nodded vigorously, her black hair bouncing as she hugged Karna tightly. "Yeah, it wasn't the same without you. We're glad you're home!"
Karna laughed, his heart overflowing with joy. He embraced his friends, feeling a sense of warmth and familiarity.
As the laughter and chatter filled the air, Karna felt a deep sense of gratitude. He was grateful for the journey that had brought him back home, grateful for the friends who had stood by his side, and grateful for the love and acceptance he found in the embrace of his family and loved ones.
Others also returned home as soon as they heard about Karna's return and joined in the joyous reunion. His father, Uncle Vivek, Uncle Avinash, Nand Baba, Maa (Mother) Yashoda, And Balram gave him (Karna) a bear hug, welcoming him back with open arms. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, tears of joy, and a sense of unity that only homecoming can bring.
Only after that did they notice Karna's unique outfit caught the attention of everyone amid the joyous reunion. As he stood there, surrounded by his loved ones, his attire spoke of his journey and the experiences he had encountered.
Karna wore a striking ensemble that reflected his warrior spirit and his connection to his divine heritage. He donned a regal, Snow white kimono with intricate golden embroidery, symbolizing his noble lineage and strength. The kimono flowed gracefully around him, its fabric shimmering in the sunlight.
Around his waist, Karna wore a wide belt made of intricately woven threads of gold and silver. The belt held his trusty sword Kusanagi, adorned with gems that sparkled like stars in the night sky. It was a symbol of his strength and determination, a reminder of the battles he had fought and the challenges he had overcome.
On his feet, Karna wore sturdy boots crafted from the finest leather, allowing him to move with agility and grace. The boots were adorned with intricate patterns, reflecting his connection to nature and the earth.
As Karna stood there, surrounded by his loved ones, his attire told a story of a journey filled with growth, courage, and love. It spoke of the challenges he had faced, the lessons he had learned and the bonds he had formed along the way.
As Karna recounted his encounters with Sage Parth, King Drupad, and his family, his loved ones listened intently, captivated by the tales of his journey. He shared stories of wisdom imparted by the sage, the hospitality of King Drupad's kingdom, and the warmth he received from their family.
Karna described how Sage Parth had guided him on his path, sharing ancient knowledge and teachings that had expanded his understanding of the world and his place in it. He spoke of the sage's profound wisdom and the lessons he had learned from their conversations.
He also shared his experiences in the Kingdom of Panchal, where he had found sanctuary and formed strong bonds with King Drupad and his family. Karna spoke of the King's generosity, the kindness of his wife and children, and the sense of belonging he had felt during his stay.
Through his stories, Karna painted a vivid picture of the people he had met, the places he had seen, and the lessons he had learned. He emphasized the importance of love, friendship, and the pursuit of one's true destiny.
As he finished recounting his tales, a sense of gratitude filled the air. Karna's loved ones expressed their admiration and pride for his courage and the wisdom he had gained. They marvelled at the connections he had formed and the impact he had made on the lives of others.
At that moment, Karna realized that his journey had not only been about finding his way back home but also about discovering his purpose and the bonds that connected him to the world. He understood that his destiny was intertwined with the well-being of others, and he vowed to continue his path with love, compassion, and strength.
The reunion in Vrindavan continued late into the night, filled with laughter, storytelling, and shared meals. Karna felt a deep sense of contentment as he looked around at the faces of his loved ones, knowing that he had returned to where he truly belonged.
And as the night sky blanketed Vrindavan with its starry embrace, Karna realized that his journey was far from over. The clues about Shaurya's destiny and the mysteries that awaited him still lingered in the air, waiting to be unravelled. But for now, he was grateful for the warmth and love of his family, friends, and the home that had welcomed him back with open arms.
