The old man To-odan ran toward him and tried to cut off his head, but the headaxe could not cut Aponitolau, and the old man To-odan said to him, "You, truly, are a brave man, that was why you came to my town. Try and throw your spear at me, for if you can hit me it is all right, for I have killed many people."

When he was in the middle of the way he became very tired, for it was far. So he used magic and he said, "I use my power so that I will arrive at once at the town of To-odan of Kalaskigan." Soon after he arrived in Kalaskigan. When he arrived at the yard beside the balaua the old man was lying down. The old man saw him and said, "Eb, I have a man to eat."

And Aponitolau said, "You will never eat me. Go and get your headaxe and spear, for you must fight with me. I will take your head before I make Sayang." The old man was angry and he stood up and went to get his headaxe and spear. "You are the only person who ever came in my town. Go on, and throw your spear, if you are brave," said To-odan.

"Well, you go and get them, for I am going to get the head of the old man To-odan of Kalaskigan before we make Sayang." So Aponibolinayen went to get his clout and belt. After that he oiled his hair and Aponibolinayen put a golden bead on each hair. Not long after he went to get his headaxe and spear. As soon as Aponibolinayen gave him his provisions for the journey, he started.

Aponitolau threw his spear at his side, and it went clear through his body and To-odan laid down. Aponitolau cut off his head. So he commanded his spirit companions to be ready to go with him to Kadalayapan. As soon as they were ready he said to them, "You go first, my companions, we are going to the town of Aponibolinayen, for I have heard that she is a pretty woman, and I wish to see her."

Not long after Aponitolau went to their house and asked Aponibolinayen why she did not reply to him when he shouted two times. "I did not answer, for I have a headache." "Why is the fastening on the door different from before?" "I don't know. No one came in." Not long after Aponitolau went up into the house. "Now, Aponibolinayen, I have taken the head of the old man To-odan of Kalaskigan.
