After her departure, an Alzado came and danced with high knee action, meantime saying, she was there to make some one ill, and that she would do so unless the American gave her a cloth for her clout when she returned the following day. The next visitor was Sanadan, the spirit who owns and guards the deer and wild pig.

She did so, and became a monkey. After that there were many monkeys. In an early time, the Tinguian were like the alzado, and hunted heads. The men from one town started to another on the other side of the Abra river to get heads.

The little bird flew near to him and he always gave the good sign. Aponitolau was happy for he knew that nothing would injure him. Not long after they arrived at the alzado town, and the alzados were glad when they saw Aponitolau and they said to him, "You are the only man who ever came to our town. Now you cannot return home. We inherit you," said the bravest of them.

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.

"Ala, if you say that I cannot go back home, you summon all the people in your town, for we are going to fight," said Aponitolau, and the alzado said to him, "You are very brave if you wish to fight with all of us." So the bravest summoned all the people to prepare, for Aponitolau wished to fight all of them.
