Karna, now in his private chamber, reflected on the events of the day. The integration of the 'Eye of the Void' and the subsequent awakening of his ocular power had been a profound and unexpected experience. He realized that this new ability held immense potential, but it was still shrouded in mystery.
As he sat on the bed, Karna examined his eyes in a nearby mirror. The pitch-black irises with red and white spots were a stark contrast to his usual golden eyes. It was a visual representation of his newfound power and the sacrifice he had made to gain control over his existence.
[I am sorry Karna, I didn't realize about the remnants of milk in your body.]
Artemis's voice resonated in Karna's mind, and he nodded in acknowledgment. "It's alright, Artemis. I understand that these revelations were unexpected, but I trust that this was a necessary step in my journey."

"Tomorrow, I have to fight all the princes of Kuru Kingdom for the hand of Princess Dusshala for marriage."
Hissss~
"I know you are here too, Medea."
Karna looked to his side as a small white snake with a golden symbol on her head hissing at him for ignoring her.
Chuckles~
Karna couldn't help but chuckle at Medea's antics. The small white snake, despite her hissing, had a playful and mischievous air about her. Karna had become accustomed to her presence, and they had developed a unique and somewhat amusing bond over time.
"Alright, Medea," Karna said, addressing the little snake, "I haven't forgotten you. I'm just processing everything that's happened today. Tomorrow's challenge will be quite the ordeal, and I need to be prepared for it."
Medea, the small white snake with a golden symbol on her head, coiled around Karna's wrist, her hissing having turned into contented sounds. She seemed to understand the weight of the challenges Karna faced and was a constant source of support and companionship.
Knock! Knock!
The sound of a gentle knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Karna turned his attention to the door and called for the person outside to enter.
The door opened, revealing a young page who bowed respectfully. "Lord Karna, I am here to inform you that Princess Dusshala has requested an audience with you. She wishes to speak with you before the challenge tomorrow."
Karna nodded in acknowledgment and stood up from his place on the bed. "Thank you for informing me. Please lead the way to the princess."
The young page led Karna through the palace corridors to Princess Dusshala's chambers. As they arrived at the door, Karna took a moment to collect himself and prepare for the meeting.
"Lord Karna," the page announced, "You may enter."
Karna stepped into the room, where Princess Dusshala was seated gracefully on a plush chair. She looked up as he entered, and there was a mixture of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.
Just as she saw Karna, She stood up and ran towards him and jumped at him. Dusshala's unexpected action caught Karna by surprise, and he instinctively caught her in his arms to prevent her from falling. She laughed as he held her, her eyes filled with joy.
"Brother Karna, I missed you so much~" Karna couldn't help but smile at his sister's enthusiasm. He held her gently in his arms, his heart warmed by her affection.
"I missed you too, Dusshala," Karna replied, his voice filled with warmth. "It's good to see you again. How have you been?"
Dusshala pulled away slightly, looking up at Karna with a bright smile. "I've been well, but I've missed having you around. It's been lonely without my big brother."
"Don't call me brother it would be awkward when I win tomorrow's battle and have you as my wife," Karna said with a playful wink, and Dusshala blushed, playfully swatting his arm.
"Always so confident, aren't you?" she teased, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Karna chuckled, appreciating the light-hearted moment with his sister. "Well, I have to be confident if I want to win tomorrow's challenge."
Dusshala's smile softened, and she took a step back, her hands resting on her hips. "Ah, right, about that. I heard you've been making quite a name for yourself at the Kala Pradarshan event."
{Suryalok}
In the realm of Suryalok, the realm of the Sun God, Surya, A palace of radiant, warm light stood tall. It was here that Surya, the Sun God, resided, and his divine presence graced the entire realm. The palace itself was a magnificent structure made of golden and crystalline materials, reflecting the brilliance of the sun.
"Swami I want to see my child too, It's not fair for only you to see him but we can't."
In the radiant palace of Suryalok, the divine Sun God Surya stood in the center, his radiance bathing the surroundings in warm, golden light. He was attended by his celestial consorts, Sandhya and Chhaya, who expressed their desire to see their child.
"You know it's not possible until someone tells him about his real parentage we can't do anything due to Chhaya's curse to me. And I am not blaming you, Chhaya."
Surya's voice was filled with a mix of understanding and regret as he addressed his consorts. Chhaya had placed a curse on him, restricting their ability to directly interact with their child, Karna, until the truth of his parentage was revealed to him.
Sandhya and Chhaya exchanged glances, their expressions reflecting their inner turmoil. They had watched over Karna from afar, unable to reveal their true identities as his parents.
"Swami, when do you think he will learn the truth?" Sandhya asked, her voice tinged with concern.
Surya sighed, his radiant form shimmering with a deep sense of longing. "I cannot say for certain. The time for Karna to learn the truth will come when destiny deems it appropriate. Until then, we must trust in the path he chooses."
Chhaya, the other celestial consort, added, "We can only hope that he will understand and accept our love when the time is right."
Surya nodded in agreement, his golden eyes filled with a father's love. "Karna is a remarkable soul, and he has faced many challenges and made difficult choices in his life. When he finally learns the truth, I hope he will find it in his heart to forgive us and accept the love we have for him."
{Royal Palace, Hastinapur}
"Okay I should leave it's night already and I need to rest for tomorrow's challenge." Karna smiled at Dusshala and embraced her once more.
Dusshala returned the hug and whispered, "I know you'll do great tomorrow, Karna. I believe in you."
Karna stepped back and looked into his sister's eyes, his gaze filled with determination. "Thank you, Dusshala. Your faith in me means a lot. I won't let you down."
With one final smile, Karna left Dusshala's chambers and made his way back to his private chamber. The day had been eventful, and the challenge he faced tomorrow was of great importance. He needed to be well-rested and prepared for what lay ahead.
As he settled into his bed, Medea, the small white snake with the golden symbol on her head, curled up beside him.
Door Opens
Kamini, Kali, Brinda, Scáthach, Mandodari, Tara, and Lilith entered the room, each wearing expressions of concern and sleepy faces. They had been waiting for Karna to return and wanted to ensure he was doing well after his meeting with Princess Dusshala.
"Karna, how did it go with Dusshala?" Kamini asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Karna shared a reassuring smile with his wives. "It went well. Dusshala is excited to see me participate in the challenge tomorrow. She's been lonely without her big brother around."
Kali, with a yawn, chimed in, "That's good to hear, but it's getting late. You should rest, my love, for tomorrow's challenge."
Karna smiled at his wives, appreciating their concern and love. He knew they were right, and a good night's rest was essential for the challenge he would face the next day.
"You're absolutely right," Karna agreed. "I need to be at my best for tomorrow. Thank you for your support, my loves."
With that, Karna climbed into bed, and his wives joined him, each finding their comfortable spot. The room was filled with warmth and affection as they settled in for a peaceful night's rest, knowing that the upcoming challenge would test Karna's abilities and determination.
As Karna closed his eyes and drifted into slumber, the room was bathed in the soothing presence of his wives, their love surrounding him like a protective cocoon, ensuring he was well-prepared for the trials of the next day.
