Title Casta Reef
Description A legend about the disappearance of the Casta Reef (Lip), said to be the origin place of the Titan people. A woman from Asin named Alup is given a bunch of twigs and seeds that has the power to part the sea, and she walks across the ocean to the Casta Reef. Here she meets the chief Toung Kulupwe, and she carries his child. When she is about to give birth, she discovers that the people of this place deliver their children by cutting them out of their mothers' bellies. She then teaches the people how to give birth. Her parents eventually come to get her, and take her and the child away in a canoe. When Toung Kulupwe sees this, he throws his lime gourd on the ground in anger. This causes the Casta Reef to submerge into the sea.
