If I am the first to throw my spear
you will never have a chance to throw yours, for I will kill you at
once. You better throw yours first," said Aponitolau. The old man was
angry, and he threw his spear. But his spear glanced off from the body
of Aponitolau, for he used his power so that everything glanced away
from his body. 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." Aponitolau
threw his spear at his side, and it went clear through his body and
To-odan laid down. Aponitolau cut off his head.

Not long after Aponitolau went back home and Don Carlos of Kabaiganan
(Vigan) [183] was anxious to go and see Aponibolinayen. So he commanded
his spirit companions to be ready to go with him to Kadalayapan. As

go and see what he has to sell." So Indiapan went back to the well
and said to Don Carlos "Aponibolinayen does not wish to come, and
she does not wish to buy what you have to sell." So he pondered what
he should do. "The best thing for me to do is to go to their house
to get a drink." So he went up to the town and said, "Good morning,
Aponibolinayen, will you give me some water to drink? For a long time I
have wished to drink your water." Aponibolinayen answered, "Why did you
come from the well? Why did you not drink while you were there?" "I did
not drink there, for I wished to drink of your water." Aponibolinayen
did not give him any for she was afraid; then Don Carlos used magic so
