And when she became wife under the marriage bond, all power was given
her as a god except that to see hidden things and those obscure deeds
which were done at a distance; only her husband had this power.
Before they left Kauai to return to the heavens, a certain agreement was
made in their assembly at the government council.
Lo! on that day, the rainbow pathway was let down from Nuumealani and
Kaonohiokala and Laieikawai mounted upon that way, and she laid her
last commands upon her sisters, the seer, and Laielohelohe; these were
her words:
"My companions and our father the prophet, my sister born with me in the
womb and your husband, I return according to our agreement! leave you
and return to that place where you will not soon come to see me;
therefore, live in peace, for each alike has prospered, not one of you
lacks fortune. But Kaonohiokala will visit you to look after your
welfare."
After these words they were borne away out of sight. And as to her
saying Kaonohiokala would come to look after the welfare of her
companions, this was the sole source of disturbance in Laieikawai's life
with her husband.
