"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"


"For there comes shortly a destruction over the earth; never has any
destruction been seen before like this which is to come; never will any
come hereafter when this destruction of which I tell is ended.
"Before the coming of the wonder-worker he will give you a sign of
destruction, not over all the people of the land, but over you yourself
and your people; then the high ones of earth shall lie down before him
and your pride shall be taken from you.
"If you listen to my word, then you will be spared from the destruction
that is verily to come; therefore, prepare yourselves at once."
And because of the seer's words, he was driven away from before the
face of the chief.
Thus he proclaimed to all the chiefs on Kauai, and the chiefs who
listened to the seer, they were spared.
He went to Kekalukaluokewa, with his wife and all in their company.
And as he said to Aiwohikupua, so he said to Kekalukaluokewa, and he
believed him.
But Waka would not listen, and answered, "If a god is the one to bring
destruction, then I have another god to save me and my chiefs."
And at Waka's words the seer turned to the chiefs and said, "Do not
listen to your grandmother, for a great destruction is coming over the
chiefs.
