42 Chapter No.42 Another Powerful Boon?
As the next day dawned, Karna woke up early, feeling a sense of renewed energy and purpose. The events of the previous day had left him with a deep understanding of fulfilment, but he knew that there was still more to uncover about Shaurya's destiny.
Karna ventured out into the familiar streets of Vrindavan, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of little Krishna. He knew that Krishna had a way of appearing when least expected, and he trusted that his brother would reveal himself when the time was right.
As Karna walked through the bustling village, he noticed a group of children playing near the riverbank. Their laughter and joyful shouts filled the air, bringing a smile to Karna's face. He approached them, hoping to find Krishna among his young companions.
"Hello, my friends," Karna greeted the children with a warm smile. "Have any of you seen Krishna?"
The children paused their game, looking at Karna with curious eyes. One of the children, a young girl with braided hair, stepped forward.
"Are you looking for Krishna, Bhrata (Brother)?" she asked, her voice filled with innocence.
"Yes, I am," Karna replied eagerly. "Do you know where he is?"
The little girl giggled, pointing towards a nearby grove of trees. "Krishna often spends his mornings near the sacred grove. You might find him there."
Grateful for the information, Karna thanked the children and headed towards the grove. He could feel his heart pounding with anticipation as he neared the peaceful sanctuary.
As Karna entered the grove, he was greeted by the gentle rustling of leaves and the soothing sound of flowing water. The air was filled with a sense of tranquillity as if the grove itself held a secret waiting to be discovered.
And then, he saw him.
Krishna, the embodiment of love and divinity, stood by the riverbank, his gaze fixed on the flowing water. Karna's heart swelled with joy at the sight of his brother, and he approached him with reverence.
"Krishna," Karna called out softly, his voice filled with affection.
Krishna turned towards Karna, his eyes sparkling with wisdom and love. He smiled warmly, his presence radiating a sense of tranquillity and peace.
"Welcome, Karna," Krishna greeted him. "I've been waiting for you."
Karna felt a rush of emotions at Krishna's words. It was as if Krishna had known all along that Karna would seek him out in this sacred grove.
"I have missed you, Krishna," Karna confessed, his voice filled with sincerity.
Krishna nodded, his gaze steady. "And I have missed you too, dear brother."
"And before my time in this form ends, Ask anything as a boon for all you have done since childhood for me and this village by defeating Putana and other demons like Weapons etc."
Karna bowed his head in gratitude, feeling humbled by the offer of a boon from Krishna. He thought deeply, knowing that this opportunity was a rare gift, and he wanted to use it wisely.
"O! Krishna," Karna began, "I ask for a boon that will aid me in protecting Shaurya and upholding righteousness, Grant me the Sudarshan Chakra."
Krishna's smile wavered slightly as Karna made his request for the Sudarshan Chakra. He looked at Karna with a mix of admiration and concern.
"Karna, the Sudarshan Chakra is a powerful divine weapon," Krishna responded, his voice filled with caution. "It possesses immense destructive potential, and its use must be guided by wisdom and righteousness. Even I can't use its full power without harming myself, Are you sure you want such a weapon?"
Karna nodded, his determination unwavering. "I understand the responsibility that comes with wielding such power, Krishna. I ask for the Sudarshan Chakra not for personal gain or destruction but as a means to protect and restore balance. I promise to use it only in the service of righteousness and to safeguard the innocent."
Krishna studied Karna's resolute expression, his eyes filled with both pride and concern. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded.
"Very well, Karna," Krishna said, his voice tinged with solemnity. "I grant you the Sudarshan Chakra, but remember that it is not merely a weapon. It is a symbol of cosmic order and divine justice. Use it with utmost care and only when all other means have been exhausted. Let it be a tool of protection and not of harm."
Karna bowed deeply, grateful for Krishna's trust and the boon he had bestowed upon him. He understood the gravity of the responsibility that came with the Sudarshan Chakra and vowed to honour Krishna's words.
"Thank you, Krishna. I will wield this divine weapon with reverence and use it in service of righteousness."
Krishna reached out his hand, and the Sudarshan Chakra materialized in Karna's palm, its vibrant energy pulsating with immense power. Karna felt a surge of energy course through his being as he held the sacred weapon, its weight was so heavy like holding the very essence of the universe itself.
"I have given you the Sudarshan Chakra but it is bound by a seal that limits its full potential," Krishna explained. "This seal can only be broken when you have the body to bear its power. Until then, it will remain a potent yet controlled force at your disposal."
Karna nodded, understanding the significance of the seal. He knew that he had to grow in strength and wisdom to unlock the Sudarshan Chakra's full potential fully. The weapon would serve as a reminder of his purpose and the path he had chosen.
"Thank you, Krishna, for your guidance and for granting me this boon," Karna said, his voice filled with reverence.
"You are most welcome, dear brother," Krishna replied with a warm smile. "Remember, I am always with you, guiding and protecting you from within. Trust in your heart, and you shall find the strength to fulfil anything you desire."
