Advertisement
Karna and others reached reached Anga. As they reached palace gates they saw another Chariot coming towards palace it has Gangaputr Bheeshma on it and Adhiratha was driving it.
Everyone : Pranipat.
Bheeshma : Kalyan ho.
Everyone : Pranipat shreeman Adhiratha.
Dushala : Pranipat kakashree Adhiratha.
Adhiratha : Yeh kya kar rahe hai aap rajkumars and rajkumari.
Dushala : why are you asking, I consider Karna as brother so you are elder to us. Won't you bless us.
Adhiratha : It isn't right Rajkumari, you shouldn't do it. You are royal and I am merely charioteer of Mahamahim.
Dushala (fake crying) : You don't want me to accept as daughter, am I that bad.
She started crying and Adhiratha panicked. Others were merely keeping quiet and witnessing this going on. They saw
Adhiratha (panicking) : No That not the case.
Dushala : Than why haven't bless me.
Adhiratha : Sada sukhi raho putri.
Ashwatthama, Arjun, Nakul, Sahdev and Bheeshma saw this flabbergasted. They now know from where Karna got the habit of falling to Dushala's antics. Like father like son as they say how correct it is. They looked Karna who was just smiling.
Ashwatthama : And us?
Adhiratha was looking confused.
Bheeshma : Give them you blessings Adhiratha. You are their elder and not just a charioteer but you are a father of king now too.
Adhiratha : Kalyan ho.
Karna : Why have you suddenly came to Anga Mahamahim.
Bheeshma : It's been a month Putra, we came here to take every back to Hastinapur.
Dushala (excited) : Then you came at right time, we were going to Hastinapur tomorrow with Bharata Karna.
Bheeshma : Is that so. You look excited for some reason what is it and where are you coming from?
Dushala : Yes, I am excited because Bharata Karna is getting married.
Bheeshma and Adhiratha : What? How? With who?
Dushala : With princess Avantika of Ujjain, King of Ujjain proposed the idea, they will be coming to Hastinapur to fix dates with Adhiratha kaka and Radha kaki. We were at Ujjain as for why we will tell you inside the palace let's go we stopped at gates only. Mother is waiting for us.
Bheeshma and Adhiratha were still shocked but they nodded they all went to Palace where Ghandhari and kunti were waiting. They greeted Bheeshma and Ghandhari did Aarti of everyone.
Dushala : Maa, choti maa Bhrata Karna is getting married to Avantika.
Ghandhari : It's great news isn't it Kunti.
Kunti : Yes jiji, but how?
Dushala : After Bhrata Karna defeated Chandrasur king Vikramaditya proposed this idea. Both Bhrata Karna and Avantika bhabhi agreed. They will be coming to Hastinapur to fix dates.

Bheeshma : Chandrasur? Will anyone tell me what's happening?
Adhiratha : Karna tell me what's going on.
Karna : Not here, lets go to my chamber everyone, Pitashree you come too its time you know who my teachers are. Everyone here knows though I didn't tell them. I will also tell Radha maa when I will go back to Hastinapur.
They went Karna's chamber, Dushala then told Bheeshma and Adhiratha about their stay, their training in. Anga and Vikramaditya's requested alms, Karna past meeting and help to Rajmata Pushpa of Ujjain. Then they told them his and other fight with Chandrasur and other asur and how Karna and Avantika agreed for mairrage. Then Karna's request to talk her alone yesterday and their return today.
Adhiratha was standing like statue tears were falling from his eyes he was happy and proud of son's accomplishments but was sad that his son had to go through all that to gain knowledge just because he was his son. Bheeshma knew Karna was Ardhnarishwar student, he always wondered how Karna managed to do that. Now he knows, his chest unconsciously puffed in pride by selfless and helping nature of Karna, No wonder Ardhnarishwar accepted him as deciple he truly was Suryadev's son bearing pain to bring happiness to others. Story of his fight was as usual astounding. He was once again grieved for the loss of Hastinapur. When he heard Karna training Panduputra he was happy and satisfied it seems destiny plans to have him fulfill his duties as brother but Karna wasn't able to excercise his rights.
Bheeshma : Putra Karna, I am proud of your accomplishments. you are inspiration to all people of aryavart.
Karna : You are praising me too much.
Adhiratha hugged Karna : Iam proud of you son, very very proud. Forgive me you have to go through that much pain for getting education.
Karna : What are saying Pitashree, I am happy and proud being son of you and Radha maa. I can get my teachers because of your morals and teachings only.
Bheeshma : What karna is saying is not wrong Adhiratha. Your upbringing played major role in making what Karna is today.
Ghandhari : Don't be sad Adhiratha. Only gold can shine after grilling it in the fire. Your son is gold. I am so jealous that why Karna is not my son, Radha and you are truly blessed to have son like him.
Kunti was tearful hearing this but as usual she kept quiet. Bheeshma saw this and wondered is really Kunti's heart made of stone. Atmosphere of room was serious younger generation was silently watching all this, so ease the mood Dushala spoke up

Dushala : Oh ho! You started talking serious stuff, do you not remember about Bhrata karna's marriage.
Everyone laughed Bheeshma, adhiratha, Kunti and Gandhari blessed and congratulated Karna and left the room.
Dushala (curiously): Now elders left, so Bhrata Karna what have you talked to Avantika last night?
Nakul (mischievously) : Is there a need to ask this question obviously they were being lovy-dovy there.
Arjun : Mitra Karna couldn't help but wanted to spend time with his to be wife.
Ashwatthama : Yes you are correct, I didn't know Mitra can be romantic.
Karna blushed and everyone laughed they spend more time teasing Karna. After that they had lunch and like before leaving to Ujjain. They gathered in practice area to train with Karna. Karna took turn and spared and taught all of them. Bheeshma also came to see Karna training everyone, he can see all of them improved by quite some margin while their stay at Anga. He quietly watched all training Karna put everyone through. He was impressed Karna was able to pinpoint their weakness and told them methods to improve it. He actually enjoyed here in Anga it only second place except his mother's meeting spot where he can forget his responsibilities and truly enjoy. Right now he was not Mahamahim of Hastinapur but a grandfather seeing his grandsons together, enjoying. He was happy to let go some of his tensions.
Karna : Now we all will return to Hastinapur so before going I want to take test of all of you.
Arjun : How?
Ashwatthama : How else, he wants us to spar with Mahamahim Bheeshma.
Karna : You are right but there is a condition both fighter will not use any divyastra.
Karna called Bheeshma.
Karna : Mahamahim, I hope you don't mind Sparing them. I am sure you also wanted to see their improvement.
Bheeshma : No I don't mind actually I was going to propose spar after your training too.
Karna : then it's decided you will fight Mahamahim for half an hour each. He will fight with your choice of weapon but remember just basics not any divyastra.
Sahdev came first to fight. They both fought with axe. Sahdev only lated for 20 minutes but Bheeshma was impressed and he told Sahdev that. After him Nakul fought him with swords, Ashwatthama and Arjun fought archery battle. Only Arjun was able to pass 30 minutes mark but barely. They all know Bheeshma was strong but how strong they got glimpse of that now. Bheeshma defeated them without moving an inch from his place. He just stood in his place and thrashed them around.
Bheeshma : Putron you have improved very much since Kala pradarshan. Ashwatthama I didn't see you fighting before but I am pleasantly surprised and impressed by your talent Dronputr.
Ashwatthama : Thank you it means a lot coming from you.
Arjun (Shamefully) : How can you say that pitamah, you defeated us just standing there you have not moved during our fight.
Nakul (frustratingly) : We thought we have improved but it's still same, difference between us is too wide.
Sahdev (calmly) : May be that the reason Karna had us spar with Pitamah, to show the difference.
Ashwatthama : Yeah I also guessed that during the spar.
Karna : You are right Sahdev and Ashwatthama. After your fight with Asur you were reverting to your old self slowly, I saw some difference in you attitude today so I had you fight Mahamahim Bheeshma to show you are still not good enough. I am glad Gangaputr didn't go too easily on you. You all are powerful no doubt about that but you are not best that you can be. You have a lot of potential to improve. In future you can no doubt on par with him but now you lack both skills and experience. You have to see the difference up close so that you can work hard to fill the gap. There is no limit of improvement but it's man ego and overconfidence in himself stops him from improving.
Bheeshma : What Karna is saying is truth Putron. You will be on par of me or may be even better than me in future. You lack experience but remember karna words and take it to your heart. Pride, arrogance and overconfidence killed more warrior than any astra sastra. You should all always try to improve. Having confidence in youself is good but overconfidence will lead your fall.
Then they dispersed karna went to river bank for pooja. Then came back to teach Dushala painting after that they all ate dinner and packed their luggage as they will be going Hastinapur tomorrow.

Galactic Economics
Humanity enters the galaxy and makes First Contact, only to begin to realize that not everything is at it seems. It appears that the galactic alien community has forgotten to invent some rather important economic concepts that human civilization has taken for granted. This is a look at a hypothetical galactic scale barter economy, how that would work, or how as one of our main characters Sarah realizes... it doesn't. And as the galaxy falls apart at the seams, it's up to the best and brightest in humanity to put things back together. Story contains a lot about markets, logistics, development, and the best and worst of human history. Not so much Space Marines nuking aliens. If you enjoyed the trade negotiations and Senate politics in the Star Wars prequels, and wished that there was an entire standalone story consisting solely of those parts, this might be for you! Galactic Economics is also posted on reddit here.

The Sun's Remnant
Two people are transported to a world with magic, but it is no Wonderland. When the god of light died, he decided to take the world with him. At least, that’s what many believe in the Kingdom of Rhine, a once vast kingdom of which only a small corner remains — and even that is threatened. On one side, by the Twisted Forest, a corruption spreading from the deathplace of the gods that has already swallowed up most of Rhine. On the other, by the resurgent Kagrathan Empire, resurrected by the infallible God-Emperor Karlatz. A holy order of knights carry out their mission despite the death of their god. A band of talented misfits prepare for a heist out of their league — by stealing. Mages hunt for secrets even as the world ends. A ruler does what must be done to save the living, no matter the cost. Into this world of magic and murder, two adrift souls are inexplicably dragged: a mother estranged from her young daughter due to her own mistakes, and a young man with a love of fantasy who has gradually drifted away from his friends and family. As they each struggle to find their place in this world, they must also answer the question: do they want one?***Content Warning: I've drafted about 100,000 words (most of the first volume), and there is no sexual content so far, though I may add it in the future. There is occasionally gore and traumatising content as the story demands. I commit to keeping all of the above non-voyeuristic. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
