"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"


When the canoe approached the shore, then fog and mist covered the land
from Paliuli to the sea.
Then Laielohelohe and Waka were borne under cover of the mist on the
birds to Paliuli, and Laielohelohe was placed in the house prepared for
her and stayed there until Halaaniani took her.
Three days was Waka at Paliuli after returning from Oahu. Then she came
down with Kekalukaluokewa for the marriage of the chiefs.
Then Waka came to Kekalukaluokewa and said, "Your wife has come, so
prepare yourself in forty days; summon all the people to assemble at the
place where you two shall meet; make a _kilu_ shelter; there disgrace
Laieikawai, that she may see what wrong she has done."
At the time when Waka took away her supernatural protection from
Laieikawai, Aiwohikupua's sisters took counsel as to what they had
better do; and they agreed upon what they should say to Laieikawai.
Kahalaomapuana came to Laieikawai, and she said: "We became your
bodyguard while Waka still protected you; now she has removed her
guardianship and left you. Therefore, as we agreed in former days,
'Adversity to one is adversity to all;' now that you are in trouble, we
will share your trouble.
