Arambh!
Karna wakes up to a dream which he was conciously aware of ,in that dream there stood a person asking the other what is the most important 'Journey' or the 'destination'.To which the other replied it's "the company"
He couldn't fathom the meaning of these words.But soon these revelation would reveal a Misty secret which had yet to be revealed to him
Karna (6 years of reincarnated age) chances upon a book in the family's vast library which describes the world in a riddly poem
"Swarga, the realm of light and joy
Where the virtuous souls reside
A celestial garden of delights
Where no sorrow or pain can hide
Swarga, the reward for good deeds
Where the gods and sages dwell
A divine abode of harmony
Where the music and dance excel
Swarga, the stage for rebirth
Where the karma is purified
A cosmic wheel of destiny
Where the lessons of life are applied
Swarga, the path to liberation
Where the wisdom and grace are found
A spiritual journey of growth
Where the soul is finally unbound"
But just as he was turning to read the next page he sees a radiating figure moving towards him.It was his father Agneya Skanda.He was the current patriarch and the overseer of the present skanda clan.
Even after all the work he was supposed to tend to, he never forgets to spoil and spend time with his sole son karna.Today was a special day as karna had to go through ceremonial assessment to ascertain how well he would fare as the future patriarch and what were the innate skills buried in his consciousness.
His father as always didn't bother conversing about the assessment and started speaking to him
"What book piqued your interest so much that you didn't bother get tense about the evening assessment?"
Karna replied as usual with his stoic expression "Just a random book about the past"
The horns of "Mukti" started roaring right between their conversation.
This was the reminder to all people of skanda that assessment would commence shortly.
