Each gaze upon you seems magnified, from the battle-hardened warriors to the elders whose wisdom has shaped the horde for decades. Your mother’s fiery eyes seek vengeance, while your father’s hold the pain of betrayal and the weight of leadership. “You ask what I’d do, Father,” you begin, choosing each word with precision. The air is thick, punctuated only by the sounds of distant horses and the soft murmurings of those gathered. “We are a people bound by honor, by loyalty. Betrayal, especially from our own blood, is a poison that can rot our very foundation.” A few murmurs of agreement rise, and your mother nods, her gaze never leaving yours. “However, though his treachery is undeniable, he is still your brother and my uncle. We could exile him, Father, ensuring he never steps foot within our lands. Alone, without the support of his tribe, he'll suffer the weight of his actions. And for some, exile can be a fate worse than death. Alone in the vastness of the steppe, without the warmth of his tribe, a man becomes a ghost,” you continue. “But then again, such a fate might seem too merciful for a betrayal this deep.” You pause, letting the weight of your words settle in the tent, then look directly into your father’s eyes. “I believe that Turag should be exiled. But with this, a mark, a scar, branding him for what he did. So, wherever he goes, every tribe will know of his betrayal and treat him as the outcast he is.” Your father nods slowly, pondering your words. The tent is silent for a moment that feels like eternity. Finally, Dagur Khan speaks, his voice firm, “Turag will be exiled, branded as a traitor. The steppe is vast, but our honor is vaster. He will find no refuge.” Your mother, although yearning for a harsher punishment, recognizes the weight of the decision. With a deep breath, the matter is settled. Your uncle’s fate, forever altered by his treacherous actions and your decision. The horde, with its ancient code of honor and loyalty, looks ahead to a future, with you poised as its future Khan.
