"You people who live with me, come with me and we all will go to Dagápan, because Ilwisan will make a big party, for he has returned from fighting; all you ladies who stay in the house come also." Not long after they went and Aponitolau guided them, and they met the people who live in Natpangan and Pindayan in the way.

He took his headaxe, which was one span long, and he went to get Ilwisan of Dagápan, and so Ilwisan took his headaxe, which was one span long, and they went. As soon as they got out of the town they began to strike their shields with a stick. The sound of the beating was as great as that made by one hundred.

You go to all the towns where our relatives live and invite them, and if they do not wish to come you grow on their knees." So the betel-nuts went. Not long after the people whom they invited came to the place where they made balaua and they all danced. The companion of Ilwisan of Dagápan in dancing was Alama-an. When Ilwisan stamped his feet the earth rumbled.

"You send your people to go and invite our relatives," said Ilwisan, "so that they will come to attend my big party, for I have returned from the fight." So they sent the messengers to the towns where the relatives lived. When the spirit messengers arrived by the balaua where Aponitolau of Kadalayapan was lying down, "Good morning," they said. "How are you," said Aponitolau.

Not long after, "I use my power so that we arrive at once in Dagápan," said Ilwisan. So they arrived truly. "All the heads of Giambolan stay by the gate of the town; all the heads of the people who live with him stay around the town." "You alan who look like me, we will go and see Ilwisan and make him go into the house, for he has returned from fighting."

She said, "The reason that we made your son come to life was that we might have someone to give our things to, for we have no children to inherit them." "If that is so we are going to change their names. Ilwisan will be Kanag Kabagbagowan," said Aponitolau. "Dondonyán will be Dagoláyen, who is a rich man." "Now it is two months since we came here and we go home," they all said.

While they were walking they arrived at the spring of Giambolan of Kaboyboyan, who was an alzado. Not long after they reached the alzado woman at the spring, for she was still making Sayang. Not long after Ilwisan of Dagápan killed the tattooed alzados, who were more than one hundred, who were dipping water from the spring. "We go to the town," said Ilwisan of Dagápan to Dondonyán.

"I came here because Ilwisan of Dagápan sent me to get you, for they make a big party, for they have returned from fighting." "This is the first time I have heard of a town called Dagápan," said Aponitolau.

Gimbagonan, who was the wife of Iwaginan, and Danay of Kabisilan went to Dagápan. When they arrived at the spring of Ilwisan of Dagápan they all stopped. "We will all stop here and wait until someone comes to meet us," said Aponitolau. Not long after Ilwisan and Dondonyan saw all the visitors who were at the spring, so they went to meet them.

He went up into the house and the little boys said, "Take your headaxe and spear Giambolan; although we are little boys we are not afraid of you, for we came here to fight with you. It is the last of your life now." "Giambolan, you first fight against us," said Ilwisan. He used his power. "You headaxe and spear of Giambolan, if he throws you against us, do not strike us."
