“It was worth while for my brother to have died to secure two such beautiful women as you,” said Kahua-nui as she faced Hiiaka.
“The other one is more beautiful than we are,” Hiiaka answered.
“Where is she?”
“Toward the Sunrise,” Hiiaka answered.
“What is the name of the country?” queried Kahua-nui.
“Hawaii.”
“Who is the woman?” persisted Kahua-nui.
“Her name is Pele.”
“I know her.” Kahua-nui spoke with lower tone.
“She it was who sent us to fetch Lohiau. We found him dead. I worked according to my ability—you see, our man is alive again.”
