One day he laid with a maiden and became obsessed. All the women in the tribe turned their backs on him and he became enraged. So he started to rape women and enslave men. When the women became prenant and gave birth the baby was a raven mocker. All the raven mockers where male. Kalonas favorite son was Rephaim because of his power. So one day this group of women that were called the Ghigua womengot together. They created a maiden out of clay. They made her so beautiful that Kalona could not resist. They named her A-ya(me).
