And Moanalihaikawaokele said to Kaonohiokala, "You have sinned, O
Kaonohiokala, for you have defiled yourself and, therefore, you shall no
longer have a place to dwell within Kahakaekaea, and the penalty you
shall pay, to become a fearsome thing on the highway and at the doors of
houses, and your name is Lapu, Vanity, and for your food you shall eat
moths; and thus shall you live and your posterity."
Then was the pathway taken from him through his father's supernatural
might. Then they returned to Kahakaekaea.
In this story it is told how Kaonohiokala was the first ghost on these
islands, and from his day to this, the ghosts wander from place to
place, and they resemble evil spirits in their nature.[76]
On the way back after Kaonohiokala's punishment, they encountered
Kahalaomapuana in Kealohilani, and for the first time discovered she was
there.
And at this discovery, Kahalaomapuana told the story of her dismissal,
as we saw in Chapter XXVII of this story, and at the end Kahalaomapuana
was taken to fill Kaonohiokala's place.
At Kahakaekaea, sometimes Laieikawai longed for Laielohelohe, but she
could do nothing; often she wept for her sister, and her parents-in-law
thought it strange to see Laieikawai's eyes looking as if she had wept.
