"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"


Then the seer called out to Aiwohikupua, "Your keepers are not guilty;
not by their means was I freed from prison, but by my god, who has saved
me from many perils; and this is my lord.
"I spoke truly; this is my daughter, my lord, whom I went to seek, my
preserver."
And when Aiwohikupua looked upon Laieikawai his heart trembled, and he
fell to the ground as if dead.
When the chief recovered he commanded his head man to bring the seer and
his daughter to fill the place of Poliahu and Hinaikamalama.
The head man went and called out to the seer on the canoe and told him
the chief's word.
When the seer heard it he said to the head man, "Return and tell the
chief, my lord indeed, that my lordly daughter shall never become his
wife; she is chief over all the islands."
The head man went away; the seer, too, went away with his daughters, nor
was he seen again after that at Wailua; they returned and dwelt at
Honopuwaiakua.


CHAPTER XXVII

In this chapter we will tell how Kahalaomapuana went to get
Kaonohiokala, the Eyeball-of-the-Sun, the betrothed husband of
Laieikawai, and of her return.
