At the end of his circuit, the seer returned and dwelt with his daughters.
For no other reason than love did the seer go to tell those things which he saw. He had been back one day with his daughters at Honopuwaiakua when Kahalaomapuana arrived, as described in the chapter before.
CHAPTER XXX
Ten days after Kahalaomapuana's return from Kealohilani came the first of their brother's promised signs.
So the signs began little by little during five days, and on the sixth day the thunder cracked, the rain poured down, the ocean billows swelled, the land was flooded, the lightning flashed, the mist closed down, the rainbow arched, the colored cloud rose over the ocean.
Then the seer said, "My daughters, the time is come when my prophecy is fulfilled as I declared it to you."
The daughters answered, "This is what we have been whispering about, for first you told us these things while Kahalaomapuana had not yet returned, and since her return she has told us the same thing again."
Said Laieikawai, "I tremble and am astonished, and how can my fear be stilled?"
"Fear not; be not astonished; we shall prosper and become mighty ones among the islands round about; none shall be above us; and you shall rule over the land, and those who have done evil against you shall flee from you and be chiefs no more.
"For this have I followed you persistently through danger and cost and through hard weariness, and I see prosperity for me and for my seed to be mine through you."
