Kamatari's wife retrieves a jewel that Riujin stole from the queen. She dives down into his palace and finds the jewel. In order to hide it, she stabs herself and puts the jewel in the wound. Kamatari finds her floating on the surface because of the light the jewel gives off. Unfortunately, as is the way with gaping chest wounds, Kamatari's wife dies in the process.
