One man was trying to dig Bilb's sand rats out of their holes. He dug so deep that he reached another world.
He looked through the small hole he had made and saw disgusting monsters that had two toes on their feet. They were so scary that he dropped his stick and hurriedly returned.
Climbing out of the hole, he saw Mullian the falcon and told him about what he had seen. Mullian forced him to go and show him where these monsters were. Reaching the hole, Mullian widened it enough to fit through and ordered his companion to follow him. Mullian boldly approached the monsters and asked them what kind they were, because he had never seen anything like them.
They responded by calling Mullian by name, which surprised him. They turned out to be Ilianba Wanda and controlled those spirits that did evil. They forced them to move continuously and did not allow them to use their right hand.
The arrival of Mullian and his companion so surprised those who were being punished that some of them stopped moving for a moment. Immediately the Ilianba Wanda grabbed them and threw them into the fire that burned on both sides of the cave.
Mullian's comrade was scared. Afraid of getting hurt, he stayed close to Mullian. Ilianba Wanda knew what he was thinking, and one of them said:
“Only those who deserve punishment are treated this way.” If a good spirit comes here, we send it to Bullima heaven. Only those who have committed evil are here. You are the first living people to arrive here. It is night in your country, only spirits roam. Stay with us until it dawns above.
Mullian knew that he should not try to leave if the Ilianba Wanda wanted them to stay, and did not pay attention to the signs of his comrade, who hurried him to leave here quickly.
Ilianba Wanda offered them food. Mullian ate a good dinner, but his companion did not touch anything and did not fall asleep when they lay down to rest. He watched as the evil spirits were kept moving throughout the night. Some spirits were sent to earth and returned with new spirits stolen from the bodies of the recently deceased. Those of them who did evil were added to the ever-moving spirits. They were hit on the right hand if they raised it or even moved it.
The next morning, Ilianba Wanda again offered Mullian and his companion food. Mullian ate, but his comrade again refused. After eating, Mullian said that they should leave. The Ilianba Wanda did not hold them back, and they climbed up the same path they had come down.
Coming to the ground, Mullian's comrade lit a fire and fumigate himself and Mullian, so as not to bring any evil from the underworld. Mullian's comrade expected him to die from the food he ate, but instead of getting sick, Mullian seemed even stronger than before.
So one of the bravest warriors, Mullian, discovered a place of punishment for those who do evil.
