The cries of the seaweed maidens brought Tau-mariu from his abode. In his anger, Tau-mariu called the waves and the armies of Tuna fish.
Aponi-tolau, lord of the mountains, was bored with the view from the peak.
He ordered the waves to lash the raft. Langgaan, goddess of the wind and the rain, sent down the strongest wind to sail raft ashore.
Mother Langaan, I need your help to stop the waves and the armies of tuna fish!!
One day, he ran away from the mountain peak and followed the coursed of the river. The river brought him to the sea.
I'm living here at the mountain peak.
Apon-tolau carried Hamitau home with him. She was lovely as ever, and Aponi-tolau asked her to be his wife.
I will seek revenger for my daughter!!
Tau-mariu grew even more furious. He called the deities of the sea and the ocean and all the waters on the earth, and fired them with revenge.
Tau-mariu my father! Stop the flood! I'm begging you!
Aponi-tolau rose and saw that the waters had reached the peak of Cordillera. Hamitau, rousing her with cold fingers she screamed in fears.
The couple descended from Cordillera. They planted trees, flowers and raised animals and they begot children and replace the thousands of men and women who had perished from Tau-mariu's rage.
