Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: Restoration

"Well I can't tell you all the details but know this I can do it because of something I got from Legacy."

The revelation that Karna possessed the bloodline of Ravana and Meghnad, along with the promise of restoring the old Lanka, left King Vibhishana and Mandodari both intrigued and hopeful. They understood the gravity of Karna's presence and the potential for positive change he brought with him.

Vibhishana, always a thoughtful and diplomatic leader, considered the implications carefully. "Karna," he began, "if you truly possess the means to restore the old Lanka and are committed to the well-being of our people, then I am willing to collaborate with you in this endeavour. The restoration of our ancestral kingdom is a noble goal, and if it can be achieved, it would bring great joy to our hearts."

Mandodari, too, expressed her support. "Swami, I believe in your ability to bring about this restoration. The old Lanka holds a special place in our hearts, and the idea of seeing it thrive once more fills me with hope."

"But before that, I have to tell you about myself first," Karna's statement piqued their curiosity even further. Vibhishana and Mandodari exchanged glances, silently acknowledging that there was more to Karna's story than they had initially realized. They both nodded, indicating their willingness to listen.

"King Vibhishana, Mandodari," Karna began, "I am Radheya Karna, King of Anga. This is Shuarya, My familiar/friend. Stundent of Bhagwan Parshuram."

Vibhishana and Mandodari exchanged surprised glances as Karna revealed his true identity. The name "Radheya Karna, King of Anga" carried significant weight and recognition in the realms of warriors and kingdoms.

Karna's reputation as a formidable warrior was well-known, and his status as a king added an additional layer of complexity to the situation.

Vibhishana, the composed leader, addressed Karna with respect. "King Karna of Anga, your presence here is both an honour and a surprise. Your reputation as a warrior and your commitment to your kingdom are widely known."

Mandodari nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Swami, your accomplishments and your dedication to your people are commendable." She hugged Karna's right hand between her pair of blossoms.

Karna, while appreciative of the warm reception and words of respect from King Vibhishana and Mandodari, couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed by Mandodari's sudden display of affection.

"Let's go to old Lanka, See whether you are true or not."

Karna nodded in agreement with Vibhishana's suggestion. "Yes, King Vibhishana, it would be best to witness the truth for yourselves. The old Lanka lies in ruins, and if my claim is substantiated, we can proceed with the restoration."

With the formal introductions made and the initial surprise of Karna's true identity settled, the trio proceeded with their plans to visit the old Lanka. The prospect of restoring the ancient kingdom filled the air with a sense of anticipation and excitement.

Karna, Mandodari, and Vibhishana boarded a divine chariot, and with Shaurya by their side, they set off on their journey to the ruins of the old Lanka.

As the chariot descended upon the remnants of the once-mighty city, Karna couldn't help but feel a deep connection to this place, despite having no personal memories of it.

The echoes of the past reverberated through the broken structures and dilapidated buildings. It was a poignant reminder of the glorious history of Lanka and the challenges that lay ahead.

Mandodari, too, was overcome with emotion as she gazed upon the ruins of her former home. Memories of her life with Ravana and the bustling city that had once thrived here flooded her thoughts. She turned to Karna, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and hope.

"Swami," she said softly, "this place holds the memories of a bygone era, both joyous and sorrowful. To see it brought back to life would be a dream come true for all who once called it home."

Karna nodded in understanding, his gaze sweeping over the ruins of the old Lanka. "I understand the significance of this place, Mandodari. It carries the legacy of a once-great kingdom, and it deserves to be revived for the sake of its history and the people who cherished it."

Vibhishana, observing the profound emotions that the old Lanka evoked in both Karna and Mandodari, offered his support. "We stand here today with the potential to rewrite the history of this kingdom. Let us proceed and witness the power that Karna possesses, which he claims can restore this city."

Karna took out a paper from inventory [Ticket to restore the Kingdom of Lanka] which he was rewarded after completing the quest 'Meghnad's Legacy'.

Karna ripped the ticket into two pieces, and as he did, a brilliant light radiated from the torn pieces. The fragments of the ticket dissolved into golden particles that began to swirl around him, forming intricate patterns in the air.

The magical display caught the attention of Vibhishana, Mandodari, and even Shaurya, who watched in awe as the golden particles wove together, growing brighter and more vibrant with each passing moment. The air was charged with energy, and a sense of anticipation filled the atmosphere.

Then, in a burst of blinding light, the particles converged into a swirling vortex of energy that enveloped the ruins of the old Lanka. The very ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble as the restoration process began.

As the vortex of energy swirled and pulsed, the ruins of the old Lanka started to transform. Crumbling structures began to rebuild themselves, broken pillars stood tall once more, and the city's once-glorious architecture emerged from the shadows of time. The sounds of construction and life filled the air as the city's restoration gathered momentum.

Mandodari watched with tears of joy streaming down her face as the city she had once called home was reborn before her eyes. Vibhishana couldn't hide his astonishment at the power Karna possessed, which was now on full display.

Once the blinding light had subsided, what stood before them was a breathtaking sight—the golden city of Lanka, fully restored to its former glory.

The once-ruined city now gleamed with resplendent grandeur, its towering spires and intricate palaces bathed in a golden hue that seemed to radiate warmth and prosperity.

Mandodari could hardly contain her emotions as she gazed upon the magnificent city. "Swami," she said, her voice trembling with gratitude, "you have brought our beloved Lanka back to life. This is a miracle beyond imagination."

Vibhishana, too, was deeply moved. "Karna, your power and the legacy you carry have not only restored a city but also rekindled hope in the hearts of our people. This is a momentous day for all of us."

Karna, though humbled by their words of praise, understood that the journey was far from over. "This is just the beginning," he said. "The restoration of the city is a symbol of our commitment to building a better future for Lanka. We must now focus on governance, unity, and prosperity."

The trio worked tirelessly to rebuild the administrative structure of the city, appointing capable individuals to key positions and laying the foundation for a just and prosperous society.

Karna, with his experience as the King of Anga, provided valuable insights into governance, while Vibhishana's wisdom and Mandodari's compassion played crucial roles in guiding the city's new direction.

As days turned into weeks, the city of Lanka flourished under their leadership. Trade routes were reopened, cultural festivals were celebrated, and a sense of unity and purpose permeated every corner of the city. The people, once displaced and scattered, now found a sense of belonging and pride in their revitalized homeland.

The newly established council, comprising both asuras and other beings from various realms, ensured that decisions were made collectively, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and cooperation. The city became a beacon of hope in a world filled with challenges and conflicts.

Karna, too, found his place in this new chapter of Lanka's history. While he remained committed to his duty as the King of Anga, he also embraced his role as a guardian and protector of Lanka. The bond between him and Mandodari deepened, as they worked side by side to ensure the city's prosperity and well-being.

Over time, news of the revitalized Lanka spread throughout the realms, drawing visitors and allies from far and wide.

Diplomatic relations were established with neighboring kingdoms, fostering trade and cultural exchange. The city of Lanka had truly been reborn, not only as a symbol of its rich history but as a testament to the power of collaboration, leadership, and the legacy that Karna carried within him.

After two months of dedicated effort and collaboration with King Vibhishana, Mandodari, and the people of the revitalized Lanka, Karna knew that it was time for him to return to his own kingdom of Anga.

While his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for the bonds he had forged in Lanka, his responsibilities as the King of Anga called him back.

The city of Lanka now stood as a shining example of unity, resilience, and progress. Its people had embraced their shared destiny and were determined to build a future that honored their rich history while embracing the opportunities of the present.

As Karna prepared to depart, he gathered with Vibhishana, Mandodari, and Shaurya in the heart of the golden city. The people of Lanka had gathered to bid him farewell, their faces reflecting a mixture of gratitude and sadness.

King Vibhishana spoke first, his voice filled with sincerity. "Karna, you have been a beacon of hope for our city, and your presence has transformed Lanka in ways we could never have imagined. The legacy you carry is not just one of bloodline but of strength, compassion, and the power to bring about positive change. We are forever in your debt."

Mandodari stepped forward, "Take me with you, Swami," she said softly, her eyes filled with a mix of longing and determination. "My heart belongs with you, and I wish to accompany you to Anga, to stand by your side as your wife."
