I destroy everything I touch."

"Vasudev, what's going on? I can't understand." Karna watched as Krishna carried Ishani to her room, calling the royal physician.
"She is a demigod?" Karna was in awe but Krishna's words shocked him.
"No, she is the most powerful entity after the trinity. She was created and brought up by them. All their powers are hidden in her. Adi Shesha was her bed and Indra's thunderbolt was her plaything. Agni Dev was her favourite god. All the Gods loved her as their own daughter.. If only fate wasn't harsh.."
Karna was too stunned to speak; he was nowhere in comparison to her.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was beyond his reach, a celestial woman who must have gods as her suitors. And he was just a man of unknown origin, vying for her.
Was he even worthy ? He surely must be delusional to even hope that she would love him.
"Then why.?"
Krishna simply patted his shoulder, his expression a familiar one. It was as if he knew what Karna was going through.
"Ouch!" Ishani mumbled, opening her eyes.
She screamed, seeing Krishna.
"Why couldn't you remove my memory? I'm not supposed to remember anything normally. I'm supposed to figure out things on my own and encounter life-threatening situations but miraculously escape unscathed."
Krishna chuckled before shaking his head; "This is not your typical, cliche historical novels Ishani, it's real life. You are someone you wouldn't imagine in your wildest dreams. I had to break this to you because time's running faster than I expected. You've a lot to do."
Ishani peeked nervously at Karna; why didn't she feel so uncomfortable in his presence?
She hated men; Krishna was an exception but why did she feel so safe and calm when he was there? She was a misandrist; why was everything changing so suddenly?
"Am I your long-lost sister or something?" Seeing Krishna nod no, she continued, trying to guess.
"Or Pandavas sister? Kauravas' sister? Dronacharya's daughter? Indra's daughter? Manifestation of a Goddess?"
Krishna kept nodding no and she was frustrated. "Then what am I? I've singled out all the possibilities. Don't say soulmate of blah blah.."
"Shall I let the cat out of the bag?"
She nodded eagerly.
"You are the trinity's daughter. Brahmadev created a soul suddenly and not knowing what to do, they made you a girl; with all their powers. Heaven was your home and everyone loved you as their own. But tragedy when Mahadev killed Andhaka. Andhaka's wife cursed him, saying that you would be separated from them and suffer due to the absence of love. People would betray you endlessly but you would still be alive."
