The war brings bloodshed between the tribes of Taga-Patag and Taga-Disyerto. Dakim and Lakas have a subtle argument. Dakim tries to murder Lakas, but fails when Ganda saves Lakas by stabbing Dakim before he could reach Lakas. The war then branches out, bringing Taga-Kalakal into the situation. Meanwhile, Dumakulem and Mayari attempt to stop a senseless war between Taga-Laot and Taga-Gubat. As chaos spreads across Sansinukob, the guardian deities Apo and Sarimaw grow concerned over the mortals’ abuse of freedom and bloodlust for power.
