Little green bird

Witnessed these many deaths

A cousin to Kaha

A supernatural being

Flew to Kaha’s Parent

Informed them of all that happened

They found it difficult to believe

Couldn’t believe that Kauhi could do it

Her future husband

Servants saw them leave together but thought nothing of it

They go to visit the spot and remove her remains

Across the plains and steep ravines to Pohakea

On the Ewa slopes of the Kaala mountains

Kauhi hopes the owl isn’t following

He is among the ohi’a tree

Not far distant

Kills her a fifth time

Kaha is worn down

Slight blow for the kill

Body is buried

Under the roots of a large koa tree

Could not be reached by the owl god

Owl god

Claws became entangled with the roots

Embarrass his labor

Abandoned the girl to her unfortunate fate

Followed Kauhi to Waikiki

Ascended the ridge dividing the valleys of Manoa and Nuuanu

Beset with sharp rocks and tangled undergrowth

Kaha sat on a stone to catch her breath

Tender bleeding feet

Pa’u was in tatters

Tears in her eyes

Why did you kill me

His reply

A blow with the hala cone

She fell dead again

Buried her body and was on his way

Owl-god rescues her again

She is beautiful and sinless

Scratched away at the earth

Restored her back to life

She chanted again behind him

Song of grief

Begged for him to be merciful to one who had never wronged him

Even in thought

Large rack in Aihualama

Seizing the girl by the arm

You’re so beautiful

Drives me mad

You have been false

Must die

She thought he was playing around

His face is stern

No smile

Why didn’t you kill me at my home?

Tell me of the falsehood

I can prove its error

Words are fair but

Will deceive me no longer!

Blow to her temple

With the cone of hala nuts

Laid her dead at his feet

Dug a hole and buried her body

Started down the valley towards Waikiki

Owl: a god in that guise

Unearthed the body

Rubbed his head against the bruised temple

Restored the girl to life

Kaha caught up to Kauhi

Sang behind him

Grief

Left Waikīkī > Kahaimano

Place where Kahalaopuna lives

Awakens Kaha from her nap

Couldn’t “kill her at one”

Supreme loveliness

Ready obedience

Bathe first then a walk in the woods

He’s impressed by her beauty when he looks at her from above the pond

Intensifies his jealousy

Resolves to show her no mercy

Impatiently awaited her return

His back is turned to her when she returns

Afraid to look at her face and falter again

His actions are strange

She asks and he insists its nothing

“It is my mood to-day perhaps”

Hes leading and she following

Two inferior chiefs

Eyes were disfigured by an unnatural distention of the lower lids

Ungenerous revenge and envious action

Decked themselves with lei

Boasted that the lei was from Kaha

“The affected the greatest intimacy”

Kauhi, in a fit of jealous fury, decided to kill her
