In a village which is situated at the side of the sea in the Eastern
part of Biak island, there are two villages which are next to one
another. Saba and Warwer villages. Among the clans who live in these
two villages, one clan was called Yomga.  (An) old woman from this
clan lived with her three grand children. They were three. One girl
and two boys. The three siblings of opposite sex, their grandmother
was the one who took care of them from (the time) they were small
until they become adults (Lit: they were big). Because their two
parents had already died a long time (ago). Their grandmother loved
them and sacrificed (herself) continuously (to take care of) them in
their life. Every day she went landward to get food from her garden to
feed her three grandchildren. The road in the village that went to the
garden where she went landward and seaward was called Serbiser. The
distance from the village to the garden was very far (Lit: very
long). However, this old woman continuously walked on it every day so
she thought it was not far. The grandmother and the grandchild and all
the people who walked on the Serbiser road did not know about a dragon
who observed them (moving) in this road seaward and landward. The
dragon snake loved the old woman's granddaughter, Yomga (Lit: His
heart was at her). So he kept thinking (of) what way he would use to
meet her. One day the grandmother and the grand daughter walked again
on the Serbiser road to their garden to get food but the two did not
know (that) the dragon kept watching them from the side of the
road. This dragon wanted to meet with Yomga as soon as possible. So he
continuously thought (of) what way he would use to follow her home
(Lit:search her to her home). This time is appropriate for me to do my
desire. So the dragon climbed up to circle his body around a tree
trunk that stood beside the road which was closer to the incline where
they (usually) climbed and went down and then he waited for the two,
the grandmother (and her granddaughter). He waited for the two from
morning until afternoon. So the ones that went to the gardens all
prepared to go to the sea to their home one by one. The Serbiser road
was not busy. Many animals who live along side of the road were all
quiet and waited to see what would happen in a moment in that
place. At that time, Yomga and her grandmother were just about to get
closer to the place where the dragon was waiting for the two. Not long
after, the two came to the incline so Yomga stood and watched for her
grandmother to go down first because this incline was difficult. This
time helped the dragon to do his desire or his wish. He attached
(himself) to the wood where he pushed his body downward to move
himself and slithered inside Yomga's basket (garden bag). The young
woman was watching her grandmother so she did not know what had
entered her basket. She also went down the incline downward to the
ground, then she walked following her grand mother from behind. Not
long after, the two came to the place where they usually have a shower
or bath so the two stopped to take a shower/bath because this place
was beside the road. The place (where) they took a shower/bath was
near to (their) house so when they came seaward they stopped to take a
shower and then came out to the village seaward. The grandmother and
the granddaughter also took a shower until they finished and when they
were about to walk, the old woman saw a big snake crawling in the
middle of the granddaughter's basket. At that moment the two were
afraid and ran leaving the basket. At the time the two ran leaving the
basket, the two heard the snake calling the two from (behind) their
head. The two were tired so the two did not continue running but
stopped to ask what kind of snake it was. The two were afraid of that
kind of snake so the two returned to find out what he really wanted
from the two. At that place, the dragon talked to the two and said "Hi
you two women, you should not be afraid of me but you should take me
to follow you home." But you will hide me in the bedroom. The old
woman's grand daughter, the two heard the snake's words, therefore,
they looked into each other's eyes, then, the two agreed to take
him. So they took him with the basket and went home. When the two went
seaward to home, the two hid him in the young woman, Yomga's
bedroom. Every night his pearl shone inYomga's bedroom. That thing
that happened, her two brothers had already seen it. But they were
afraid to ask the grand mother and the grand daughter about it. The
old woman and her grand daughter Yomga lived with the dragon
happily. So the young woman Yomga herself knew many things that
happened in their lives. At night the dragon changed his body to
become a man and he slept with the young woman in her bed. Thus, this
time was right for the dragon to do their marriage, he kept thinking
in those days. Days, months, and years kept changing one after
another. So the young woman also was pregnant and her two brothers
already knew (it). So the two asked him and said, "Who caused you to
become like this?" The two's sister said, "The young men from this
village, no one came to me." "But the dragon who lived with me in my
bedroom, he was the one who caused a thing like this." Her two
brothers did not believe her. So she opened her bedroom door for
(them), then the two themselves saw the dragon. And at the time the
two were very shocked. This thing, the two's sister and the dragon had
already done it for a long time. But the two brothers, because the two
did not know so the two were very angry. The two felt disgusted about
their sister, and left her. The two brothers were afraid of the people
in the village knowing the problem for (that) they would be ashamed so
they agreed (to want) to kill the dragon. One day the two went out,
they said (that) they would go seaward to catch fish. They swam around
the rocks at the seaward (side) of the village. However, the two did
not get any fish at all. When the two went home landward with no happy
feelings in their heart, the dragon asked them and said, "How was your
(fish) catching today?" The two said, "We two (incl.) did not catch
any fish at all because we two were not strong enough to swim to the
sea floor." "And we two (incl.) did not have anything to kill the fish
with." The dragon said, "If it is so, you two prepare some poisonous
roots because they are the ones we could use to kill the fish under
the rocks." The two listened to the way the dragon explained to them
so. The two were very happy and walked immediately to the forest to
look for the poisonous root the dragon told the two about. Not long
after, the two came out from the forest with four bands of the
poisonous roots. Thus, the two took them home and gave them to the
dragon. Next morning the dragon and the two brothers went out to use
the poisonous root to catch fish. They went seaward (and) stopped at
the place they thought there were many fish, the rock at the place was
called Inggo. They floated at this place and used the poisonous roots
that poisoned the fish at the bottom of these rocks. Not long after,
the fish came out from the bottom of the rocks but because they were
about to die, they could not run away strongly. So the two brothers
were happy and swam to collect them. The dragon used his tail to hold
their canoe. He was still swimming to poison the fish with the
poisonous roots but he did not know what would happen to him a moment
later. The two brothers swam to collect the fish but the two thought
to kill the dragon. The two climbed (swim upwards) to the canoe for
this little time when they wanted to do their bad plan (Lit: bad
idea). At that time, the elder son held his machete and used it to cut
the dragon into eight pieces. This time the dragon died
immediately. The eight pieces, their names are as follows. Saram rock,
Sawaki, Kaduki, Ivengger, Womensimbirir, Amawi, (and) Mansasyo. The
two performed the act of killing until they finished, they went home
with the canoe but the dragon's body, the two left at the place where
they killed him. When the two went home, the two told all the things
the two did to the two's grand mother and dragon's wife. Yomga's grand
mother, the two listened to the bad work, thus, they were angry and
left (home) to the forest landward (and) the two were (there) for
several days. From that place the two returned seaward or home so that
the two buried the snake's body that had become pieces. The two went
seaward to collect the dragon's body pieces and then the two put them
to lie from West to East in front of Saba village and Warwer
village. Not long after, the dragon's body pieces changed into rocks
for they are the ones until today that have become islands and that
sit along the beach seaward. When the killing stopped, Yomga's months
to give birth were enough for her to give birth. So she gave birth to
ten little snakes. Yomga became a widow. So when several years passed,
a man from Fainan clan came to ask to marry her. And the woman's clans
were happy so the two married each other. The good marriage did not
last long. Because at the time the man had sex with the woman, the
poison from the woman entered his body (and) therefore he died. This
death caused the woman's clan and the man's clan to kill each
other. When they tried to find the thing that caused the death, the
grandmother was the one who gave magical treatment with leaves for
(that), then a small snake came out. The ten little snakes that Yomga
gave birth to, it was one of them. This tragedy then opened up the
happy marriage between the dragon and Yomga and the people of the
village spread the story and every one in the village knew about
it. The Yomga clan were ashamed so they agreed and they prepared their
canoes and paddled in the sea to the western part to live in Sorong,
the Four Kings islands. Close to a little pond, so they named the pond
as Yomga. Thus far, the story of the Yomga woman and the dragon in the
village of Saba-Warwer.
