and summon all the people for ten days to gather together in one place; then I will declare my wrath against those who have done you wrong. "At the end of ten days, then we shall meet again, and I will tell you what is well for you to do, and my sisters with you." When these words were ended the seer went away, and when he had departed the five sisters were taken up to dwell with the wife in the shelter of the moon. On the seer's circuit, according to the command of the Beloved, he did not encounter a single person, for all had gone up to Pihanakalani, the place where it had been predicted that victory should be accomplished. After ten days the seer returned to Honopuwaiakua; lo! it was deserted. Then Kaonohiokala met him, and the seer told him about the circuit 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.

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 Aiwohikupua and Waka fell to the ground, and the seer's prophecy was fulfilled. 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 counsellor under Laielohelohe, and the seer was their companion in council, 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
