They were killed.
Eos Tardar the Devil
Being glad of his wedding
Seethed with passion,
Hurrying to be in bed
Started to bark at them
Like an evil dog,
Scolding them awfully
Was driving them out.

Eos Tardar

“Known as hungry dogs,
Getting into a hole
Because of greediness,
Grasping eaters,
Stop devouring!
Go away quickly,
Otherwise I’ll kill you.
You, inveterate scoundrels!”
Saying these words,
Pushing them down
He began to drive them away.
Eles Bootur the Great
Like a thunder
Ran into Eos Tardar.
He appeared so suddenly
From nowhere.
Eos Tardar the Devil
From his shock
Shouting loudly was thrown to
Nine-sagened distance.
But not touching a ground
Stood up like a frozen larch,
Shrieking out rose straight
To the sky like smoke of a pipe.
In an instance
Turning into a sharp stick
From the high sky
Like an arrow with an iron point
