As Athena's voice echoed within Karna's mind, a sudden clarity washed over him, cutting through the haze of conflicting emotions. The words reverberated within him, stirring a sense of purpose and determination.
"Mandodari..." Karna whispered, his voice filled with a newfound resolve. The memories of her selfless sacrifice and unconditional love flooded his mind, anchoring him in the present moment.
"Krishna, Make way."
With a nod of acknowledgment, Krishna stepped back, allowing Karna and the mysterious woman space to continue their interaction. He watched with a sense of anticipation, recognizing the significance of this pivotal moment.
Karna's gaze shifted between Athena's voice echoing within him and the enigmatic woman beside him. The conflicting emotions that once consumed him now seemed to give way to a singular focus — the desire to save Mandodari.
