614 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWATI [ETH. ANN. 35 
On the way back after Kaonohiokala’s punishment, they encoun- 
tered Kahalaomapuana in Kealohilani, and for the first time discoy- 
ered she was there. J 
And at this discovery, Kahalaomapuana told the story of her dis- 
missal, 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 par- 
ents-in-law thought it strange to see Laieikawai’s eyes looking as if 
she had wept. 
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, Moanalihaika- 
waokele said, “ Return to your sister and live virgin until your death, 
and from this time forth your name shall be no longer called Laiei- 
kawai, 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 kin- 
dred, according to Moanalihaikawaokele’s word to her. And so 
Laieikawai lived until her death. 
And from that time to this she is still worshiped as The Woman 
of the Twilight.
