The Astras
were never just
A myth
WIELDED BY AN ALIEN
An alien warrior. A weapon of Brahma.
Two inter-planetary civilisations united by a weapons technology that can rewrite history
The Astras of Mahabharata Are real. Humans were not the only ones TO wield them
From the dying world of Kleito, a last survivor of a resistance group, lands on Earth during a time when demi-gods roamed the Earth - Mahabharat. He arrives on Earth for 1 purpose - to steal the Astra technology and save his world. Instead, he finds a brother, in the tragic hero - Karna
What was the secret of Karna's armour and ear-rings? Why was he the only one who could wield them? Were they a part of a broader technology, of which, we only see a glimpse, in Mahabharat? With Krishna guiding him, Xorel will find out the realities of Astras and how they can control time itself.
As Xorel continues his journey in the Digvijay Yatra (world-conquest), alongside Karna, he never imagined that his past will find him, before he finds Brahmastra. He must answer the call of his world and deliver a final blow to the tyrant. He must choose between Karna and his world.
Characters
Xorel Lidas Piccar
“The most advanced weapons in the cosmos — the Astras — are the key to save an entire world.”
Expert in covert interstellar spy missions, Xorel crossed the cosmical Rift to steal the Astra technology of Earth. Instead, he found a brother in the tragic hero, Karna
Doxaan
“My world is not lost while one of us still stands.”
Leader of the Resistance. A brother to Xorel and the strategist of the uprising. Every life the resistance still holds, it owes to his defiance.
Trilius
“The one who kneels, lives. But the one who doesn't kneel, also lives, in excruciating pain”
The shadow over the entire Zaxtan Galaxy cluster. His hunger for power and control, hold importance above his people and their pain
Karna
“Karna is the last direct descendant of the Sun Tribe — and heir to their technology.”
Nemesis of Arjun, greatest unsung warrior of his age. His armour and ear-rings are a glimpse of a technology far older than any kingdom — and the reason an alien crossed the void to find him.
Krishna
“Time is not a river. It is a weapon — and it has a wielder.”
With Krishna guiding him, Xorel learns the realities of Astras and how they can control time itself. His counsel is the thread on which two worlds hang.
Maya
“You came to steal from this world. It gave you a home instead.”
Where Xorel is the blade and Karna the shield, Maya is the thread that binds the two civilisations — the heart of the trilogy’s quietest battles.
