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.
