On that day, Salaka, the oldest and wisest woman in the tribe, called everyone together to find a way to destroy the monster.  All agreed it was a job for Ulu, who had gone away on a very long hunt before the sable’s disappearance.  It was agreed that Ulu would be sought.  Once he was found and the situation had been explained to him, Ulu swore to locate and destroy the monster.  Off he set with his horse, bow, and arrows, but though he searched for days, he found no trace of either the monster or the Sable God.

One day, as Ulu sat by a stream eating, his horse pricked up its ears and began to stamp its feet; the sand was whipped up by the wind, and all was dark.  Ulu saw that the wind passed through a hole in the rocks above, and when he looked in the hole, he discovered a cold, dark cave, As he climbed into the cave, it became steadily darker and colder, but as he traveled deeper inside, it slowly became warmer and lighter.  Finally, he came to a room in which he saw the Sable God, held down by a large green stone.  As Ulu rushed to release the god, the monster sprang from behind the stone to meet him.  The beast had three heads and three eyes, out of which streamed three rays of green light.

The first head opened its mouth and out gushed a freezing rush of air, which Ulu barely avoided.  With a shot from his powerful bow and one of the all-penetrating arrows, Ulu put an arrow into the eye of the ice-blowing head, and the cold wind stopped.  The right head began to spew out stinking water, until the second arrow stopped it.  But just as quickly as that head had been stilled, the middle one opened its mouth and out came blazing fire. 

Ulu avoided the fire and used the third arrow to finish off the monster. Ulu came closer and discovered that the monster was a cursed lynx from the mountain.  Ulu lifted the stone that imprisoned the Sable God, took him to his accustomed place in the hills, and returned home.  All the hunters were once again able to hunt in the mountains.
