Chop was scilenced, stunned by the sound of Zyn's too calm voice.
"We never betrayed them, because they were never our people. We were never part of their perfect life. We didn't fit, didn't match up to their perfect life. We were never meant to be Muggles and they knew that. Why do you think they never tried to stop us? They were glad to see us gone because it meant that their village was perfect again. The perfect Muggle village."
He gestured vaugely to the piles of food a few feet away;
"Even my brother is one of them, even if he dosen't look it. They love him because he picks fruit out of the trees for them when they can't be bothered to fetch a ladder, because he chases away the greeblies so they don't have to get up. He's too stupid to realise what he is to them, but he thinks he is a perfect little Muggle. Too stupid to know how worthless his 'kindness' is."
The Nevils were stunned into further silence, mulling over what Zyn had just said, but before they could think of anything else to say, Zyn continued.
"Anyway, I'm tired" he sighed as he began to move his stiff joints, trying to stand.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chop rasped.
"Where does it look like I'm doing? I'm going outside" Zyn replied.
"But the monsters..." Chop trailed off, unwilling to finish his sentence.
By this time Zyn had stood up and had taken a slow step towards the mouth of the cave.
"The way I see it, we either die slowly in here doing nothing, or we die quickly out there doing something. Either way," he turned and flashed a familiar grin over his shoulder "something gets fed today."
The Nevils watched as Zyn staggered to the cave enterance and into the light and saw him freeze as he met the monsters. They waited, half hoping that Zyn would be torn to pieces, and watched their leader. They could see Zyn, still frozen outside, and became puzzled at the lack of a bloody end. This feeling grew when Zyn waved one then both of his hands towards the creature. Their puzzlement became morbid panic when Zyn crouched down to touch the monsters.
They flinced when Zyn fell to the ground and started twitching, sure that this was the end, that the monsters were taking their fill of Zyn's still living body. However, instead of screaming, Zyn was making a strange hacking sound. The Nevils were bewildered at first, untill they realised that Zyn was laughing.
He remained outside the cave laughing for a few minutes, before he screamed at the sky;
"Oh, I have been so stupid!"
He turned back to the Nevils and beckoned them towards himself.
"We were so stupid, honestly, you'll laugh so hard! Come on, come outside"!
