Title: Mahabharata: The Eternal Duel Scene: Kurukshetra battlefield, with the sun setting in the background, casting an orange glow over the carnage. --- Page 1: Opening the Duel [Wide panel spread] The battlefield is chaotic with dust clouds, arrows flying, and warriors locked in combat. Arjuna’s chariot, driven by Krishna, faces Karna’s majestic chariot. Arjuna (internal monologue): "This moment was inevitable... the weight of destiny lies on my shoulders." Krishna (calm yet firm): "Arjuna, remember: Karna is not just a warrior. He is the son of Surya, driven by a lifetime of purpose. But victory lies with dharma." Karna (yelling): "Partha! Enough words. Let your arrows speak! Let us decide who deserves the Kshatriya's glory!" [Close-up panel of Arjuna’s eyes narrowing in determination.] Arjuna: "So be it, Karna. Prepare yourself!" --- Page 2: First Exchange [Multiple panels showing rapid action] 1. Panel 1: Karna unleashes a barrage of arrows; each arrow glows with the power of Surya. Sound effect: “Shhwkkk! Thwip! Thwip!” 2. Panel 2: Arjuna counters with divine precision, splitting Karna’s arrows mid-air. Sound effect: “Ting! Ting! Ting!” 3. Panel 3: Wide shot of both warriors, their chariots circling, creating whirlwinds of dust. Karna: "Your skill is unmatched, Partha, but my purpose is greater than yours!" Arjuna: "Your pride will be your downfall, Karna!" --- Page 3: Karna’s Curse Strikes [Close-up panel of Karna's chariot wheel sinking into the mud.] Karna (gritting his teeth): "Not now! The curse of Mother Earth..." Krishna (to Arjuna, intense): "Strike now, Arjuna! This is the moment to fulfill your duty!" Arjuna: "But Krishna, he is helpless!" Krishna (grimly): "Remember, Arjuna—Karna showed no mercy when Draupadi was humiliated, nor when Abhimanyu was slain." Karna (yelling): "Fight fair, Arjuna! A true warrior does not strike an unarmed opponent!" --- Page 4: The Fatal Blow [Two panels showing Karna’s desperate attempt to lift his chariot wheel as Arjuna pulls back his Gandiva bow.] 1. Panel 1: Close-up of Arjuna’s arrow glowing with celestial energy. Arjuna (whispering): "Forgive me, Karna. This is for dharma." 2. Panel 2: The arrow flies straight, piercing Karna's chest. His face reflects a mix of shock and acceptance. Sound effect: “Thummmmppp!” --- Page 5: The Aftermath [Full-page panel] Karna collapses on the battlefield. The sun sets fully, leaving the battlefield in darkness. Krishna and Arjuna’s chariot stands in silhouette. Krishna (to Arjuna): "The wheel of karma has turned, Arjuna. His death was not yours—it was destiny's." Arjuna (lowering his bow, silently weeping): "But at what cost...?" [Final small panel at the bottom corner: A dying Karna looks at the sky, his lips murmuring his mother's name—Kunti.] ---
