Soon after this, you will hear the land
snails[67] singing, then do you two meet apart from the assembly.
"And when you two meet, a single peal of thunder will crash, the earth
tremble, the whole place of assembly shall shake. Then I will send you
two on the birds, the clouds and mist shall rise, and there will be you
two resting upon the birds in all your splendor. Then comes Laieikawai's
disgrace, when she sees her shame and goes off afoot like a captive
slave."
After all this was arranged, Waka returned to Paliuli.
Already has Halaaniani's expedition been described to look after his
wife Laieikawai at Keaau, and already has it been told how he heard of
the marriage celebration of Kekalukaluokewa and Laielohelohe.
On the day when Waka went to Keaau to meet Kekalukaluokewa, as we have
seen above,
On that very day, Malio told Halaaniani to get ready to go down to the
festival, saying: "To-morrow, at the marriage celebration of
Kekalukaluokewa and Laielohelohe, then Laielohelohe shall be yours. For
them shall crash the thunder, but when the clouds and mist clear away,
then all present at the place of meeting shall behold you and
Laielohelohe resting together upon the wings of birds.
