After cursing each other, two great warriors began their battle. They
fought for three months and at the end, Ehekh Khabar was close to kill
Eles the Bootur. He made a convocation to a spirit of battles Iirer
Emeget Kustuktai the Maiden. Kustuktai the Maiden recalled that he
would offer him sacrifices often making her joyful. She turned him into
a sharp sword and cut Ehekh Khabar’s magic tongue with it. Now Ehekh
Khabar was in danger of death, and he called his sister Khaan Sarakhaidaan
for help. Khaan Kharakhaidaan came flying as a black raven and stroke
Eles the Bootur with her beak putting him in a great jeopardy. Eles the
Bootur recalled the promise of Kiis Nurgun, the warrior woman, to help
him in the time of peril. Kiis Nurgun came immediately and, at the end
of the ninth day, killed Khaan Kharakhaidaan. Eles the Bootur, after
expelling the might of Ehekh Khabar, also killed him. Kiis Nurgun
reconfirmed Eles the Bootur her readiness to help and left away turning
into a hawk. Eles the Bootur, in a great triumph, came into a lodge of
Ehekh Khabar and looked for Siralingsa Kuo for three long days. He
found her by the sounds of her crying, concealed under the threshold.
Two people who met each other after many dangers and long time,
united in close embrace. After that they found ninety nine warriors of
Ayii tribe who were kept prisoners, rescued them, and received many
thanks. They returned in a great joy and happiness to the land of Luminous
Faced Siralingsa Kuo.
There was much feast and joy at her home. They celebrated liberation
and wedding feast for five days, eating delicious foods and drinking
koumiss, taking parts in cheerful games. After festivities, they recovered
in sleeping for three days and woke up in satisfaction and happiness.
The time came to leave Siralingsa Kuo’s home. Her father Aar Toyon
and mother Kyun Kyube blessed the wed pair, wishing prosperity in
their life. After that Eles the Bootur and. Siralingsa Kuo spent many
years together living happily and delightfully.
