the field he turned back his face and
saw four young _alzados_ who followed him through the cogon grass,
and he used magic so that the flame of the fire was so hot that the
_alzados_ who followed could not reach him. [285] When the flame
of the fire was over he turned his face again when he reached the
middle of the next field. He used his magic again so that the flame
was so high there that the _alzados_, who always followed, could
not reach him. As soon as the flame was gone they followed again,
and Awig shouted. The _alzados_ were frightened and were afraid to
follow him for they were then near to Kaodanan. "Ala, we will go back
or the people of Kaodanan will inherit our heads," and they went back
home. Those were all who were left for Awig did not give them poison.

Not long after Awig arrived in Natpangan. He went back to get the
rest of his daughter's body from the place where the mountain rice
grew. When he arrived in their house he joined the body and the
head. They looked at her and she was sweating. "Ala, Awig you go and
command someone to get the old woman Alokotan. When she speaks to the
cut on our daughter's body the body and head will join better," said
Aponibolinayen to Awig. Not long after, "Ala, you spirit helpers go to
get old woman Alokotan of Nagbotobotan, so she will speak to the cut
on Linongan," said Awig. "Yes," said the spirits and they went. Not
long after they arrived at Nagbotobotan, "Good morning," they said,
"What are you coming for you spirits," said old woman Alokotan. "'What
are you coming for you say?' Awig sent us to call you and take you
to Natpangan, for you to speak to the cut on their daughter, for
the _alzados_ killed her when they sent her to watch the mountain
rice." "That is why those people are bad, for when they have only one
daughter they do not know how to take care of her." "Ala, what can
you do, that is their custom. Please come," said the spirits. "Ala,
you go first, and I follow. I ought not come for I want them to feel
sorrowful for their only daughter, which they sent to the field, but
I will come for I want Linongan to live. You go and I will follow,"
she said. "Yes," they said.

When the spirits arrived in Kaodanan the old woman Alokotan arrived
also. As soon as she arrived she went at once where Linongan was
lying. "Ala, you Aponibolinayen and Awig this is your pay, for
although you have only one daughter you sent her to the mountain
field," said the old woman Al
