Make A Wish.

The city of Agrabah shimmered under the light of a full moon, its streets alive with the sounds of nighttime bustle. In the heart of the city, a lavish palace stood as a testament to wealth and splendor. Inside, a significant event was unfolding in a private chamber, where Kunti, now known as Ashra, lay in a bed of silk and velvet.

The room was filled with an air of anticipation and quiet reverence. The birth of Ashra's child was a matter of great importance. As the first rays of dawn crept through the windows, the room was bathed in a gentle, golden light, illuminating the baby Karna, who had just entered the world.

Ashra, a striking woman with dark hair and piercing eyes, held her newborn son close. His arrival marked not only a new beginning for her but also a significant change in their lives. The child was named Karna Maurya, a name that carried the weight of his father's legacy and the hopes of a new life away from the dangers of the Maurya Empire.

Despite his seemingly ordinary appearance, there was something remarkable about Karna. As he lay in his mother's arms, the air around him seemed to hum with a subtle energy. Objects in the room, from toys to curtains, seemed to move on their own accord, influenced by an unseen force.

Ashra's thoughts drifted back to the decision that led her here. She had fled from the Maurya Empire due to threats from Crown Prince Sasimu, other rival princes, and the jealousy of Ashoka's other wives. The political turmoil had made it impossible for her and her son to stay. Ashoka, though a powerful figure and her lover, had been unable to provide protection from these dangers. The threats against her and Karna were too great, and she had made the difficult choice to leave.

As the days passed, Karna grew up surrounded by the opulence of Agrabah. His powers remained a mystery to everyone, including Ashra. Karna seemed to possess an extraordinary connection with the world around him. The plants in the palace gardens grew lush and vibrant in his presence, and the weather seemed to adjust to his moods.

At three years old, Karna had already become a source of wonder. He was often seen playing in the palace gardens with Princess Jasmine, who was just a year younger than him. Their friendship was a bright spot in Karna's life, and Jasmine was fascinated by the little miracles that seemed to follow him wherever he went. To her, Karna was simply a special friend who could make things float or change shape.

One sunny afternoon, Jasmine and Karna played a game near the fountain in the garden. Jasmine giggled as Karna made flowers dance in the air, their petals fluttering as if moved by an invisible breeze. "How do you do that, Karna?" Jasmine asked, her eyes wide with wonder.

Karna, with his deep blue eyes twinkling, simply shrugged. "I don't know. It just happens," he said with a grin. His voice was calm and full of innocence, masking the immense power that lay beneath.

Ashra watched from a distance, her heart filled with both pride and concern. She knew that Karna's powers would eventually draw attention. Though the Sultan of Agrabah had graciously offered them refuge, she worried about the future and the challenges they might face. For now, she tried to focus on providing a normal and happy life for her son.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Ashra took Karna in her arms and held him close. "You are my everything, Karna," she whispered, her voice tinged with emotion. "I may not be able to keep you safe from everything, but I will always protect you with all my strength."

Karna snuggled against his mother, his tiny hand reaching up to touch her cheek. The bond between them was strong and unbreakable, forged through their trials and their shared hope for a better future.

As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, Ashra felt a sense of calm wash over her. She knew that Karna was destined for greatness, even if he was unaware of the full extent of his abilities. The world seemed to bend to his will, and she hoped that this would continue to protect him and allow him to grow up in peace.

In the quiet of the palace, the future remained uncertain, but for now, Ashra and Karna lived their lives surrounded by the beauty of Agrabah. The challenges of the past were behind them, and the promise of a new beginning lay ahead. As Karna drifted off to sleep, a soft smile on his lips, Ashra watched over him, her heart full of hope and love.

Thus began the journey of Karna Maurya, a child of extraordinary power and destiny, whose life in Agrabah would unfold in ways that would shape the world around him.
