Gnas persuaded Iya to defy Wakinyan and go upon the domain of Maka to vex her. Iya did so and Wakinyan came upon him there. Iya, as Ibom, fought with Wakinyan, and the combat was terrible. Wakinyan descended in a whirling cloud and pierced Iya again and again with his glance, but Iya was the son of a God and could not be destroyed. As Wakinyan flew about him, Iya whirled, striking at Wakinyan again and again, but he could not hit him. Wakinyan drove him from the lands back into his mother's domain, the waters.

Gnas gleefully viewed this combat, but when Wakinyan turned on him to rend him, he screamed for mercy.
