Moanalihaikawaokele asked the reason for this; then she told him she
wept for her sister.
Said Moanalihaikawaokele, "Your sister can not live here with us, for
she is defiled with Kaonohiokala; but if you want your sister, then you
go and fill Kekalukaluokewa's place." Now Laieikawai readily assented to
this plan.
And on the day when Laieikawai was let down, Moanalihaikawaokele said,
"Return to your sister and live virgin until your death, and from this
time forth your name shall be no longer called Laieikawai, but your name
shall be 'The Woman of the Twilight,' and by this name shall all your
kin bow down to you and you shall be like a god to them."
And after this command, Moanalihaikawaokele took her, and both together
mounted upon the pathway and returned below.
Then, Moanalihaikawaokele said all these things told above, and when he
had ended he returned to the heavens and dwelt in the taboo house on the
borders of Tahiti.
Then, The Woman of the Twilight placed the government upon the seer; so
did Laieikawai, the one called The Woman of the Twilight, and she lived
as a god, and to her the seer bowed down and her kindred, according to
Moanalihaikawaokele's word to her.
