Her companions answered, "He is no god; he is a man like us, yet in his
nature and appearance godlike. He was the first-born of us; he was
greatly beloved by our parents; to him was given superhuman powers which
we have not, except Kahalaomapuana; only they two were given this power;
his taboo rank still remains; therefore, do not fear; when he comes, you
will see he is only a man like us."
Now, before Kahalaomapuana's return from Kealohilani, the seer foresaw
what was to take place, one month before her return. Then the seer
prophesied, in these words: "A blessing descends upon us from the
heavens when the nights of full moon come.
"When we hear the thunder peal in dry weather and in wet, then we shall
see over the earth rain and lightning, billows swell on the ocean,
freshets on the land, land and sea covered thick with fog, fine mist and
rain, and the beating of the ocean rain.
"When this passes, on the day of full moon, in the dusk of the early
morning, at the time when the sun's rays strike the mountain tops, then
the earth shall behold a youth sitting within the eye of the sun, one
like the taboo child of my god.
