The Sun's Tragic Son (Prologue)

Amidst the blood-soaked expanse of Kurukshetra's battlefield, the legend of Karna echoed far and wide, striking terror into the hearts of the enemies of the Kauravas. With the rising sun casting an eerie glow upon the war-torn terrain, an unsettling hush fell upon the opposing forces.

"Run! Run for your lives! We face the wrath of a god!"

"Unleash your *Astra! Attack!"

"How many foes are we confronting?"

"It's just one man, but he's no ordinary archer!"

"Who could it be? Prince Arjuna, perhaps?"

"No, he's none other than the mighty King of Anga, Angaraja Karna!"

"What kind of Astra is he wielding? It's like an unending shower of arrows!"

"Don't even think about it! If you value your life, flee!"

"But isn't Prince Arjuna supposed to be the greatest *Dhanush-dhari (Archer)? Can't he stop him?"

"Even Prince Arjuna is retreating! There's no hope against Karna's might! Run!"

Amidst the battlefield's frenzied chaos, the air echoed with a symphony of wailing, complaints, and the fearful cries of soldiers. As far as the eye could see, an ocean of armies stood divided into two opposing factions.

On both sides, fearless and formidable warriors, unafraid of the impending doom, stood tall.

Yet, on this momentous day, an unprecedented event sent shockwaves through the blood-soaked battleground.

The soldiers of one faction, renowned for their unwavering courage, were seen doing the unthinkable - retreating.

Running with their tails between their legs, they were a sight that none had ever fathomed witnessing from such valiant fighters.

But let it be known, this was no act of cowardice. These soldiers were ever ready to lay down their lives on the battlefield, just as they had done for the past 16 days of relentless warfare.

With casualties reaching a staggering million, not a single warrior from either faction had taken a step back until this very moment.

The enigma of the sudden retreat haunted the minds of all who bore witness to the spectacle.

What could have caused such an extraordinary disruption in the unyielding resolve of these mighty warriors?

The answer was swift and profound - the arrival of *Angaraj Karna. His imposing might sent shivers to the depths of every soldier's soul. Allies felt relief that they were not his enemies, while enemies could only curse their luck for having to face the wrath of this legendary figure.

The word had reached them of a warrior beyond any they had encountered before. Each step of Karna's advance sent thunderous echoes through their hearts. His name alone instilled a chilling fear, for he was no ordinary mortal; he was a force of nature, an unstoppable tempest.
