, 582 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
After ten days the seer returned to Honopuwaiakua; lo! it was de- 
serted. 
Then Kaonohiokala met him, and the seer told him about the cir- 
cuit he had made at the Beloved’s command. 
Then the prophet was taken up also to dwell in the moon. 
And in the morning of the next day, at sunrise, when the hot rays 
of the sun rose over the mountains, 
Then the Beloved began to punish Aiwohikupua and Waka. 
To Waka he meted out death, and Aiwohikupua was punished by 
being deprived of all his wealth, to wander like a vagrant over the 
earth until the end of his days. 
At the request of Laieikawai to spare Laielohelohe and her hus- 
band, the danger passed them by, and they became rulers over the 
land thereafter. 
Now in the early morning of the day of Aiwohikupua’s and 
Waka’s downfall, 
Lo! the multitude assembled at Pihanakalani saw a rainbow let 
down from the moon to earth, trembling in the hot rays of the sun. 
Then, as they all crowded together, the seer and the five girls stood 
on the ladder way, and Kaonohiokala and Laieikawai apart, and the 
soles of their feet were like fire. This was the time when Aiwohi- 
kupua and Waka fell to the ground, and the seer’s prophecy was ful- 
filled. 
When the chief had avenged them upon their enemies, the chief 
placed Kahalaomapuana as ruler over them and stationed his other 
sisters over separate islands. And Kekalukaluokewa was chief coun- 
sellor under Laielohelohe, and the seer was their companion in coun- 
cil, with the power of chief counsellor. 
After all these things were put in order and well established, 
Laieikawai and her husband were taken on the rainbow to the land 
within the clouds and dwelt in the husband’s home. 
In case her sisters should do wrong then it was Kahalaomapuana’s 
duty to bring word to the chief. 
But there was no fault to be found with his sisters uptil they left 
this world.
