Another day passed in the quiet lanes of Hastinapura.
The world moved forward as it always did.
The sun rose.
The people worked.
The kingdom breathed.
But for Karna...
Ti felt different.
Slower.
Heavier.
Inside the courtyard, Karna sat once again in silence.
No urgency.
No force.
After the warning of the previous day, he no longer tried to push his Sadhana recklessly.
Instead...
He observed.
Carefully.
Patiently.
He closed his eyes.
Guiding the faint flow of energy toward the Dharma Core.
This ti, the energy responded slightly better.
It moved...
But only a little.
Then—
It stopped again.
Like a river blocked by an unseen barrier.
Inside his mind, the system appeared.

Karna remained still.
No frustration showed on his face.
But deep inside...
He understood.
This was no longer a simple delay.
This was a wall.
A silent, immovable wall.
He tried a different approach.
Slowing his breathing further.
Letting the energy gather naturally.
For a mont...
It seed to work.
The Dharma Core pulsed slightly stronger.
The energy began to circulate more smoothly.
But just as it reached a certain point—
It collapsed again.
The flow scattered.
The connection broke.
System Notification
Attempt failed.
Cause: Improper guidance.
Recomndation: External instruction required.
Karna slowly opened his eyes.
The answer remained the sa.
Again and again.
Guidance.
A soft sound interrupted the silence.
Footsteps.
He turned his head slightly.
Adhiratha stood near the gate, preparing to leave for his duties at the royal stables.
Before stepping out, he looked at Karna.
"You will stay inside today."
His tone was calm, but firm.
Karna watched him silently.
Adhiratha added,
"The streets are not always kind."
He did not explain further.
He did not need to.
Karna already understood.
After Adhiratha left, the courtyard felt emptier.
A quiet loneliness settled in the air.
From inside the house, Radha called out gently,
"Co inside for a while."
But Karna did not move.
His gaze remained fixed beyond the courtyard wall.
Beyond the narrow streets.
Toward the distant direction of the royal grounds.
There...
Far away...
He could faintly hear sothing.
A rhythmic sound.
Wood striking wood.
tal clashing lightly.
Voices calling out in discipline.
Training.
Soone... sowhere... was practicing.
Learning.
Growing.
Karna’s eyes narrowed slightly.
That world was close.
Yet unreachable.
He slowly stood up.
His small steps carried him toward the edge of the courtyard.
He stopped just before the gate.
Not crossing it.
Just standing there.
Watching.
Listening.
The sounds were faint.
But real.
For the first ti, the idea beca clear in his mind—
There were people in this world...
Who knew how to walk the path he could not.
Inside his mind, the system reacted once more.

Karna remained still.
His hands tightened slightly.
Not in anger.
But in quiet resolve.
Behind him, Radha watched silently.
She saw the way he stood at the edge.
The way he looked beyond their ho.
A soft sadness appeared in her eyes.
"He’s too young..."
She whispered to herself.
But even she could feel it—
This child...
Was not ant to stay within these walls forever.
The wind passed through the courtyard once again.
Carrying distant sounds.
Carrying distant possibilities.
Karna slowly stepped back.
Returning to his place.
Sitting down once more.
But sothing had changed.
The wall he faced was no longer invisible.
Now...
He knew what stood beyond it.
He closed his eyes again.
Not to break the wall.
Not yet.
But to prepare.
To wait.
To endure.
Far away, the great structures of Hastinapura stood tall under the sky.
A kingdom full of knowledge.
Full of warriors.
Full of destiny.
And sowhere within it...
The path that Karna needed...
Was waiting.
The journey had slowed.
But it had not stopped.
Not for the son of the sun.
