Now, when they had departed, there came from the west, behold! two
strangers seeming, guided by the Sálamopia, and all the fleet runners
of the Kâ´kâ then first seen of men and feared as by children now,
for they were fierce and scourged people from their pathways to make
room for those they guided. For know that these were the two brothers
Ánahoho who had returned to the desolate cities of their people.
Therein had they sought in vain for the living in the blackened houses.
They even tore down the chimneys and peered in, seeking for their
brother K‘yäk´lu, and when they found him not they smote their faces
and held their noses in grief, and all black as were their hands with
soot, lo! thus became their faces, flat and masked with the black
hand-mark of dismay, and as they held their faces they cried dismally
and long.
