The God Who Knows and the Man Who Chooses
The plains of Kurukshetra stretched wide and vast—yet silent, as though the land itself held its breath. A golden hue bathed the fields, as if Surya himself watched in stillness.
And in the very center, standing atop the chariot drawn by white horses, was Krishna.
Eyes like the infinite sky. A smile born of aeons. A presence that was both calm and cosmic.
He already knew Aryan was approaching.

Aryan walked calmly, no weapons, no armor—only light circling around him like divine wind.
The moment their eyes met, the air thickened.
Time slowed.
A thousand yugas of knowledge stood between them.
Krishna smiled gently. "So… you've come."
Aryan nodded. "To speak. Not to fight."
Krishna chuckled. "If I wanted war avoided, I could have simply broken Duryodhana's will myself."
> "But you didn't," Aryan replied. "Because even you must let Dharma unfold by choice."
Their words echoed like thunder between stars.

Aryan raised his palm and summoned his System Console, visible to Krishna. He showed him the threads he had mended:
Draupadi's honor preserved.
Karna's armor protected.
Bheeshma's vow evolved.
Gandhari's curse reshaped.
He looked at Krishna. "I'm not here to erase Mahabharata. I'm here to bring justice to those forgotten in the cracks of fate."
Krishna's eyes glinted. "And what will you do if the war is still necessary? If even Dharma must draw blood?"
Aryan stepped closer, his third eye glowing.
> "Then I'll make sure every drop spilled leads to peace—not pride. I'm not here to change outcomes. I'm here to purify the path."

System Prompt:

[Unlock Shared Dharma Field – Infinite Clarity Mode]
[Effect: Merged vision between Aryan and Krishna]
[YES]
Activated.
Their minds linked.
Aryan saw Krishna's inner storm: the weight of cosmic time, of choice and consequence. The burden of being a god and watching mortals drown in ego.
Krishna saw Aryan's raw resolve: the pain of modern rebirth, the memories of countless wars, the yearning for a world where dharma doesn't demand sacrifice.
They stood not as god and man—but as two guardians of reality.
---
Krishna smiled wider now. "You have my blessings, Aryan. And my test."
Aryan raised an eyebrow. "What test?"
Krishna's voice dropped.
> "Can you stop the war… inside men's hearts?"
Aryan closed his eyes. "I'll try. Not with weapons… but with truth, strength, and compassion."
Krishna nodded. "Then let the chariots roll. Let karma rise. And let you and I… rewrite not the story, but the soul of it."
