At Lipwentiak, the eel encountered a hunter named Kiroun Mand, killing and eating eels. She was restless, however, and departed, continuing to follow the river. The two became lovers and the eel was impregnated. There she met Kiroun Meir, a high-titled man, who brought her to live with him at his home. The eel then traveled into the Nanmeir Valley in Pohnpei’s interior and followed the Lehnmesi River source. The eel discovered the hiding place and ambushed the couple, devouring them alive. The couple fled into the forest and hid under a huge rock, where they believed they’d be safe. The couple became uncomfortable and decided to kill and eat the eel, but the eel overheard their plan, came into the house, and attacked them. At night, the eel would escape from its pool and sneak into the house, where it would stare at the sleeping couple. When the eel grew up, however, it began to act in sinister ways. The couple kept the eel as their pet and allowed it to live in a pool at Pahdol (“under the hill”) in Pahnais. Later, at a place called Pahnkipar (“under the pandanus tree”), the stone broke apart and from it was hatched a tiny freshwater eel. The women took the stone home and gave it to the couple from Wene. Two women in the area went out to fish in the flood, and while they were fishing, a starling flew over and dropped a small stone. One day there was a great storm and the heavy rains resulted in a huge flood.
