Rudra was staring at the river where Maharani Madri will soon arrive, he decided that it was best of to let pandu die it was a tough decisison but if pandu is also bound by putr moh than it will only make the future worst. It has been 3 weeks since rudra has been observing ths pandavas and their family, they all seemed to be a happy family but rudra noticed few errors which most would have ignored like pandu teaching yudhistra the vedas written by pyschophants, not teaching bheem to use his brain rather than relying only on his muscle power, helping arjun to be obsessed with winning, slightly neglecting sahdev and nakul and letting them think they were the most knowledgeable people on this planet and most importantly to pride over the fact that they are devputrs and can never be wrong. If base is only weak then how will the structure be strong was all Rudra thought.
He decided to let the pandavas to their fate and return to hastinapur he heard that hastinapur raj veidhya requires a new assistant. He had already given his name, now all he needs to do is find a house for him to stay, he has few silver and gold coins from the future it was good thing that the coins don't change in his time and in present. He packed his things and left from there as he still needs to prove his qualifications to the raj veidhya.
On his way back he heard a high pitched scream of Pain but no fear, a scream which made the warrior in him to become alert, after returning in time he never used his warrior skills. Rudra ran in the direction of sound and saw a 10 years old girl on the ground with a asura in front of her, her right arm was bleedimg she had a sword in her hand . The girl seemed very familiar to Karn, but for now he decided to focus on the asura.The girl immediatley stood up and launched herself at the asura. He closed his eyes hoping to be able to summon his vijaya dhanush though he doubted he vould be able to, when he heard the wind bring a soft melodious voices to his ears, "Believe in yourself," . He placed trust in himself and prayed to his guru thats when he felt something materilalising in his palms the golden bow started appearing in his hand which was stretched out, it beauty, shine, and the desgins could make anyone fall in love with the weapon. The asura who saw the bow tried to escape feeling his end was near by the girl stabbed his foot into the ground. Rudra chanted a mantra and launched a arrow which turned into various weapons which killed the asura. On seeing the girl injured Rudra took out the paste he had with him. He first cleaned the wound then he applied the paste on her wound and wrapped it in a white cloth.
After which before Rudra could question her he heard run away from him while shouting a thank you. He just shook his head and reached hastinapur by nightfall. Even in the dark he looked like a mini sun but his eyes laid on the sky to look at his fellow men the stars who are also mini suns, he joined the sttars to form constillations, which was his favorite hobby. He found a house for rent and decided to stay there.
-------------------------- × -------------------------
Rudra happily returned home that his plan was goimg according to his plan, he got a job in the royal fanily now time for Karn and Kauravas to meet and bond together and he knew how, the best place for them to meet is devi parvathi's temple, in 3 days Gauri Pooja is coming up, and maharani Gandhari won't miss it any chance, and all kauravas love there mother too much to let her come alone to the temple with only guards and maids.
Now all he bad to do was wait, Rudra entered his house and cleaned the house up and he went to do his suryapooja, to know suryadev was his father he couldn't help but feel empathy for him, he had watched his son thrown into river ganga, get cursed, bleed to death humiliated by many people yet he couldn't do anything.
He finished his suryapooja and sat down enjoying the sun set when he felt a pair of hands cover his eyes aling with few muffled laughters he couldn't help but smile.
"Karn," it feels weird to talk to his younger self.
"How did you Mohody Rudra" said Ira as Karn removed his hands from Rudra's eyes.
"Who else in hastinapur will come and try to prank me even after seeing the scars on my body" said Rudra as he pointed to the scars which could make anyone run away from the spot.
"Mohody Rudra can we ask you something" both Ira and Karn said in unison. Rudra nodded,
"Why aren't sutas allowed to lift weapons ma told you are a warrior, we thought you might know the answer to our question" said Karn
"No vedas aur shastras tell us that sutas aren't allowed to choose their desired profession, but do you both want to become a warrior " asked Rudra
"Yes" karn and Ira said in unison
"Warriors aren't what you see them to be, they might seem to have faced the world with a smile but only they know how many times they were backstabbed, how many times they laid down in there own pool blood, seen the peopleclose to their hearts die, a path made from the bodies of their dead commrades. To be warrior you must face yourself accept yourself protect your comrades, greater power comes with greater responsiblities, so you want to become a warrior then remember the consequences" said Rudra.
Both karn and Ira were lost in deep thoughts, yes they wanted to be warrior to protect their loved ones and themselves from those cruel royals,even if it meant to see blood death and torture etc.
They nodded with a determine look it seems they weren't going to back down. Time really is confusing and all 3 of them were lost in it.
