Note 172 — 18

While they were walking they arrived at the spring of Gīambōlan of Kaboyboyan, who was an alzado.172 Not long after they reached the alzado woman at the spring, for she was still making Sayang. Not long after Ilwīsan of Dagápan killed the tattooed alzados, who were more than one hundred, who were dipping water from the spring. “We go to the town,” said Ilwīsan of Dagápan to Dondonyán. “Yes,” he said, and they went. As soon as they arrived in the town, Gīambōlan saw them and he was surprised, for they were two boys who entered the town. “You little boys who come in my town, you are the first who ever came here,” said Gīambōlan, who had ten heads. He went up into the house and the little boys said, “Take your headaxe and spear Gīambōlan; although we are little boys we are not afraid of you, for we came here to fight with you. It is the last of your life now.” “Gīambōlan, you first fight against us,” said Ilwīsan. He used his power. “You headaxe and spear of Gīambōlan, if he throws you against us, do not strike us.” Page 126When all the spears and headaxes of Gīambōlan were lost, the boys truly were not hurt. “Now we are next to throw our spears. You, our headaxes, when we strike and throw the spear you pierce the side of Gīambōlan,” they said. Not long after Gīambōlan laid down. “You, my headaxe, cut off the heads of Gīambōlan at one blow,” they said. So the ten heads were cut off. “You, my spear and headaxe, go and kill all the people in the houses of the town, who live with Gīambōlan,” they said. The spears and headaxes went and killed all the people in the town, and the pig troughs were floating in blood toward the river. “You, heads, gather together in the yard of Gīambōlan. You, heads of the women, separate, and you, heads of Gīambōlan, go first, and you, storm, carry the house of Gīambōlan. You go near to our house in Dagápan.”
