KARNA - MAHADEV'S DECIPLE

TRAINING WITH KARNA

Ashwatthama : You are right, since childhood I wanted Pitashree to feel proud of me. So I rushed my lesson to show I was better than Arjun to him now it seems it was a dangerous mistake. I will try to rectify it. I iny ego and one sided competition forced Pitashree to teach me chants of summoning Brahmastra instead of him saying I am not ready. I realised why he was saying that now. I take an oath to not use any divyastra till I learn how to retrieve it.

Krishna : Well said Ashwatthama, you bravely admitted your mistakes. It isn't easy it takes lot of courage. I am happy you are trying to fix your views and mistake. It will be very beneficial to you in future may be this decision today will protect you from horrible mistakes in future.

Everyone nodded. Arjun was next to Ashwatthama he too was like Ashwatthama but slightly better. But he got frustrated easily and karna disarmed him.

Karna : Arjun your foundation is very good but you are adamant to prove yourself. You are always rushed to finish the battle. You too practice meditation and try to learn patience. Patience is a virtue hard to get but it is immensely powerful. You lacks experience, you could spar daily with me or Krishna to gain sufficient knowledge.

Arjun : Ok.

Soon it was Nakul who fought Karna. Both fight with swords. Karna defeated Nakul easily by placing sword to his throat. Avantika was watching this battle with narrowed  eyes. She could tell Naku to lacked the grace. Nakul was skilled but wasn't master of his weapon.

Karna : You foundation is very shaky Nakul. You have skills but you lack flow and harmony with your sword. You never used any battle statergies with sword and was just swinging it hardly. There were no coordination in your movement. You will spar daily with me to get your coordinations right. You lack stamina for prolong battle.

Nakul just nodded. Sahdev fought Karna with axe and the fight was short lived.

Karna : Sahdev you have best foundation among everyone here but you rely on your statergies too much. Any experienced warrior can tear through you statergies with as much as glance as it is now. You lack ability to think in the heat of moment. You also will spar daily with me either to build your instincts or expanding the repotiore of your statergies. You also lack stamina let ke Nakul. So both of you should do sone intense endurance training.

Everyone except Krishna- Rukmini was shocked how easily Karna defeated these four men. They weren't ordinary men but disciple of Guru Dronacharya but karna was able defeat them like it was walk in park for him not only that he even carefully jugde their strength and weakness. He even gave advice to them to improve. Karna then decided to go on with plans to teach them whatever he could.

Krishna : Sakha there is one more fighter left here. I am sure she wanted to spar with you. Isn't it right princess Avantika.

Avantika : yes if Angraj and others didn't mind.

Karna : No we won't mind.

Avantika came to arena, Nakul passed her his sword. Karna too took his swords in hand. The both stood facing each other. Sonn they moved and sound of sword clashing was heard. One attacks other defend the other attacks and one defend. It was a fierce fight, it looked more like deadly dance of death. Nakul now realised what Karna was saying before seeing this terrifying yet beautiful dance. The battle went on for some time after that Karna disarmed Avantika. By sudden disarming of sword Avantika stated to fell but a strong hand stopped her from falling. She looked uto see Karna was holding her wrist and stopped he fall. The froze in that position, others saw this and smiled

Krishna (coughs) : Sakha help rajkumari Avantika to stand.

Karnt immediately helped her and soon he left her wrists and now was missing her wrists.

Karna ; Disciple of Saint Vishwamitra indeed. You just lack experience.

Avantika : Thanks Angraj, spar was good and beneficial to me.

Krishna : Rajkumari Avantika, you too could join training and spar with Sakha daily. Isn't it right sakha?

Karna : Yes you could you could spar with both Nakul and Sahdev too. It will be beneficial for them too.

Avantika nodded. Soom practice ended. Karna went to do his pooja. Others went to their chamber to rest. Ashwatthama, Arjun, Nakul and Sahdev realised the ever smiling Angraj was slave driver when it comes to training. They woke up and had dinner. Dushala wasn't willing to let others took all the time of Karna so she asked him to teach her and Subhadra better what they have learnt at kanyakul. Painting for Dushala, singing and Veena to Subhadra after his pooja in the evening.

Soon it became schedule of everyone. Ashwatthama, Arjun, Nakul and Sahdev were amazed by thier progress after one weak. Karna has only allowed to train the with basic weapons to strengthen their foundation which wasn't that bad but lacks dedicated efforts to perfect them. Nakul and Sahdev improved the most as they lacked the most but constant sparing with either Karna or Avantika helped them. It was all in just one week. Karna also spared Avantika daily he loved sparing with her. Krishna and Rukmini just enjoyed their stay. Dushala and Subhadra too improved in their respective fields.

Soon days passed and day of Karna vs Chandra was one day after. All of them were getting to leave to Ujjain.
