They perform ceremonies near the stones when they go to fight or celebrate balaua, and sometimes the spirit of the stones appears as a wild rooster, a white cock, or a white dog. A man who defiles the stones becomes crazy. Man sees a woman walking at night near the guardian stones. She refuses to talk and he cuts her in the thigh. She vanishes into the stones.
As soon as they arrived in Kadalayapan Kanag laid down in their balaua. When they called him at meal time he did not wish to go. When Aponitolau and Apo=nibolinayen finished eating they said, "If you do not wish to eat we will go to see our little house in the fields." "We will go and fix it so we will have some protection during the rainy season," said Aponitolau. So they went truly.
"We came to invite you to the balaua of Aponibalagen." "I do not wish to go, for I have no clothes and am ashamed. I do not know the man who is going to make balaua." "If you do not go I will grow on your knee," said one of the betel-nuts. "Do as you wish." So the betel-nut grew on his knee. When it grew big he became tired and he said, "Get off from me now and I will go." So they went.
Some of the betel-nuts which they sent arrived in Kadalayapan where Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen lived and they said, "Good morning," to Aponitolau who was lying down in the balaua. He felt badly because Kanag was a serpent and he said to the betel-nut, "Good morning. Come to Kalaskigan, for Kanag and Amau are making Sayang and they want you to come."
As soon as the family emerged from the blanket, they went to their balaua, and offered food, after which the medium again summoned several spirits. From this time until well into the evening, the guests danced tadek, stopping only to be served with food and drink.
When they arrive at her new home, Ayo finds her husband a handsome man who lives in a golden house, and whose spring has gravel of gold and agates. They summon their relatives to celebrate balaua with them. While Ayo's brother is dancing, her husband cuts off his head, but he is brought back to life.
Gimbangonan was very happy and said to her mother, "You tell him yes, for I wish to marry Aponitolau." So It-tonagan agreed to the marriage and Langa-an asked how much the marriage price would be. "The regular custom of the people with magical power which is the balaua nine times full," said Aldasan, because It-tonagan was always restless and was walking outside the house.
Kanag married Asigtanan and Dagoláyen married Ganinawan. The mother of Ganinawan was Aponibolinayen and the mother of Asigtanan was Aponigawani. As soon as they were married and they had learned who their mothers were they built balaua, and they sent some betel-nuts to invite all of their relatives in other towns. Iwaginan and Indayo went to attend the balaua, and they danced.
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.
Iwaginan of Pindayan said, "Stop playing the gansas we are going to settle on how much they must pay for Aponibolinayen. As soon as we agree we will dance." And the people were quiet and they agreed how much Lingiwan was to pay. The father and mother of Lingiwan offered the balaua three times full of jars which are malayo and tadogan and ginlasan.
