The Enemyway ceremony exists specifically to drive away the chindi of slain enemies that cling to warriors, causing nightmares, illness, and spiritual contamination after battle.
After Monster Slayer fell ill from contact with the ghosts of the slain Anaye, the Diyin Dine'é performed the first Enemyway over him, teaching the songs, prayers, and ritual actions that would drive out enemy contamination.
The Enemyway ceremony is rooted in The Monster Slaying narrative. The contamination Monster Slayer acquired from killing the Anaye required the first Enemyway to be performed for his healing.
