Main Character
Krishna

Plot
As the war with the Pandavas lurk around the corner, Karna is still clueless about his siblings. Krishna tells Karna about his birth and advised him to go to the Pandavas. He reassured Karna that the Pandavas would accept him and respect him as their older brother. Cant told Karna that he will become a king like his Pandavas brothers. But Karna can not forget the kindness of Duryodhana while his own mother was not there for him. Therefore he choose the side he grew up knowing over blood.
Setting
Pandava's kingdom
Story Idea
I think an interesting story idea would be to do it in Karna's point of view. Here is this man who was about to go to war with his unknown brothers. At least the Pandavas have each other to support one another during this surprise information, but Karna does not have that support system. It is also interesting to see how Karna is the outsider looking in. The Pandavas grew up together, but Karna had a complete different childhood. I can only imagine the shock that Karna is going through. It would also be interesting to address the conflicting thoughts of whether he should go through with the war or make peace.
