Soon they all arrived at the place of the sugar cane and they made a noise while they were getting the sugar cane, which they used to chew. Gaygayóma went to the middle of the field and chewed sugar cane. As soon as they had chewed all they wished they flew up again.
They named him Takyayen, and he grew very fast and was strong. All this time Aponitolau had never forgotten Aponibolinayen who, he knew, was searching for him on the earth, but he had been afraid to mention her to the stars. When the boy was three months old, however, he ventured to tell Gaygayoma of his wish to return to the earth.
So they did not eat him, for Gaygayóma had told them not to eat him if he was willing to follow them. Not long after they flew away with him and Aponibolinayen cried. When they arrived up Gaygayóma said, "Why, Aponitolau, did you lie to me and not return? You were fortunate when you followed the stars, for if you had not they would have eaten you."
The people of Kadalayapan and Kaodanan have many dealings with the celestial bodies. The big star Bagbagak appears as the husband of Sinag the moon and father of the star maiden Gaygayóma, who, Aponitolau assures his wife, is a spirit.
Son of Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen. VI. Dapilísan, wife of Kanag. VII. Dagoláyan. Son of Aponibalagen and Aponigawani. Also appears as Dondonyán of Bagonan the blood clot child. VIII. Alokotán. An old woman who acts as a medium. Her home is at Nagbotobotán, where the rivers empty their waters into the hole at the edge of the world. XI. Gaygayóma. A star maiden who marries Aponitolau.
"It is good that Tabyayen came down and made Sayang with us." Then he went down again. When he arrived down Aponibolinayen was glad to see him, for she feared he would not return to Kadalayapan. Not long after they arranged for Kanag to be married, and as soon as Kanag was married they arranged for Tabyayen also and he lived down below and Gaygayóma always staid above.
Aponitolau shook with fear, for he knew now that the woman was a spirit; and as he dared not refuse, he promised to go with her. Soon after that the stars dropped a basket that Gaygayoma had ordered them to make, and Aponitolau stepped in with the lovely star and was drawn quickly through the air up to the sky.
"Ala, my father Bagbagak, send the stars to go and get some of the sugar cane which I saw, for I am anxious to chew it," she said, for she was pregnant and desired to chew the sugar cane. Not long after, "Ala, you Salibobo and Bitbitówen let us go and get the sugar cane, for Gaygayóma is anxious to chew it," said Bagbagak. Not long after they went.
After three days he went back home, and he said, "I am going now, but I will come back in a few days, for I cannot live here all the time, for we, Ipogau, are accustomed to live below, and I also have another wife there. I cannot leave Aponibolinayen alone most of the time." So Gaygayoma let him go down and she said, "Yes, you may go, but you come back sometimes."
She saw that it was Aponitolau, and she was very glad. After one year with Aponibolinayen he said, "Command someone to pound rice, for we are going to make balaua, and I am going to call our son Tabyayen from above." Aponibolinayen had also given birth five days after Gaygayóma had given birth, and they called the boy Kanag.
