One day a flood occurred. Zhepama requested Zhemima to sew the world. She put to sew it for the east, the north and the west. To cover the south, Zhepama, with his generals, built a great wall and a door, called the Southern Gate of the Heaven. Those living in the south requested Zhepama not to abandon them, and especially the Goddess of Salt, with whom he ended marrying.

While Zhepama lived in the south, the Demon of Drought appeared in the world, spreading desolation everywhere. He placed a sun in the sky that didn't move, burning everything. There was no more day and night, and everything was in disorder. Zhemima could not destroy the Demon of Drought; she could only wait for the return of Zhepama. But Zhepama, knowing nothing about what was happening in the north, continued living happily in the south. In view of the desperate situation of Zhemima a cat offered to leave in search of Zhepama. After a long journey the cat arrived in the south, and informed Zhepama of the happening in the north.

After promising humanity that the peoples of the south and the north will remain in communication with each other, Zhepama left for the north. There, he challenged the Demon of Drought to measure their magic powers, agreeing that the winner will be the master of the world. The Demon of Drought dried a peach tree with a fire ray, asking: "who is not afraid of death?"

"The one who loves life doesn't fear death", Zhepama answered, while, launching a column of water, caused the tree to grow green again.

Then they held a contest of dreams. The one who had a nightmare would be the loser. During two nights Zhepama had beautiful dreams, while the Demon of Drought dreamt nightmares of his defeat.

He recognized his defeat.

Zhepama offered to eat with the Demon of Drought, and Zhemima put poison in his food. The demon died. Zhepama cut him up and threw him into a well.
