Some time passed while Shanzo told them a version of what happened in long ago in his village that did not end with the massacring the whole village. The fact that the house they were in had its roof blown off and was now messy did not help the atmosphere in the house.
He told them that he was born in the village and that his parents were then killed by a beast. That Alingal practically took him in and Malique's father, Yitula would help where he could.
They could not poke holes in his story as all this happened when he had left and knew the nature of the people he was mentioning.
He then told him the whole story of what had happened in the village over the years. Not leaving the fact that they had put a barrier around the village wall to prevent any beast from going in and out. Malique told them about his fathers's sacrifice and that it allowed to escape.
