Then the seer said, "My daughters, the time is come when my prophecy is
fulfilled as I declared it to you."
The daughters answered, "This is what we have been whispering about, for
first you told us these things while Kahalaomapuana had not yet
returned, and since her return she has told us the same thing again."
Said Laieikawai, "I tremble and am astonished, and how can my fear be
stilled?"
"Fear not; be not astonished; we shall prosper and become mighty ones
among the islands round about; none shall be above us; and you shall
rule over the land, and those who have done evil against you shall flee
from you and be chiefs no more.
"For this have I followed you persistently through danger and cost and
through hard weariness, and I see prosperity for me and for my seed to
be mine through you."
One month of bad weather over the land as the last sign; in the early
morning when the rays of the sun rose above the mountain, Kaonohiokala
was seen sitting within the smoking heat of the sun, right in the middle
of the sun's ring, encircled with rainbows and a red mist.
Then the sound of shouting was heard all over Kauai at the sight of the
beloved child of Moanalihaikawaokele and Laukieleula, the great high
chief of Kahakaekaea and Nuumealani.
