And when the voice of the thunder crashed, clouds and mist covered the
land, and when it cleared, the place of meeting was to be seen; and
there were Laielohelohe and Halaaniani resting upon the birds.
Then also were seen Laieikawai and Aiwohikupua's sisters seated upon the
tongue of Kihanuilulumoku, the great lizard of Paliuli.
Now they arrived at the same instant as those for whom the day was
celebrated; lo! Laieikawai saw that Halaaniani was not dead, and she
remembered Kahalaomapuana's prediction.
When Kekalukaluokewa saw Halaaniani and Laielohelohe resting on the
birds, he thought he had lost Laielohelohe.
So Kekalukaluokewa went up to Paliuli to tell Waka.
And Kekalukaluokewa told Waka all these things, saying: "Halaaniani got
Laielohelohe; there she was at the time set, she and Halaaniani seated
together!"
Said Waka, "He shall never get her; but let us go down and I will get
close to the place of meeting; if she has given Halaaniani a kiss, the
thing which I forbade her to grant, for to you alone is my grandchild's
kiss devoted--if she has defiled herself with him, then we lose the
wife, then take me to my grave without pity.
