"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"

"
And for this reason Laieikawai gave her consent.
Then Kahalaomapuana left directions with Laieikawai and her sisters,
saying: "I go to get our brother as husband for the princess; your duty
is to take good care of our mistress; wherever she goes, there you go,
whatever she wishes, that is yours to fulfill; but let her body be kept
pure until I return with our brother."
After saying all this, Kahalaomapuana left her sisters and was borne on
the back of the big lizard Kihanuilulumoku and went to fetch
Kaonohiokala.
At this place we will leave off speaking of this journey; we must tell
about Laieikawai and her meeting with the prophet who followed her from
Kauai hither, as related in the first two chapters of this story.
After Kahalaomapuana left her sisters, the desire grew within
Laieikawai's mind to travel around Hawaii.
So her companions carried out the chief's wish and they set out to
travel around about Hawaii.
On the princess's journey around Hawaii they went first to Kau, then
Kona, until they reached Kaiopae in Kohala, on the right-hand side of
Kawaihae, about five miles distant; there they stayed several days for
the princess to rest.
