Chapter X: The Story of Olopana and His Wife (3)

During the reign of Moikeha he had two very powerful warriors, Niniukalani and Pohinakahonua. There were none stronger than these two. Upon seeing the canoe coming to be moored on the kapued grounds, Niniukalani took up his war club, Kahikinaakala, and approached the canoe. When he reached the dry sand he began twirling his war club. As the man was approaching, Kila asked his men: “Which one of you is willing to go and fight Niniukalani?” No one spoke up for some time, as they were all afraid. Ukulii, however, arose and said: “I will go and fight him.” Kila then said: “Yes, you are so small that you will be able to get very close to him. When you get ashore don’t look up or you will get killed; but keep your eyes always down and watch the shadow over you. If he twirls his club on the left, jump to the right, as he will then strike to the left; and if he twirls on the right, jump to the left.” After Kila had imparted his instructions, Ukulii jumped ashore with his war club and approached Niniukalani. Niniukalani was twice the size of Ukulii and was sure of beating him, which he likened to so much chaff. [134]

At this time the place was packed with the chiefs and people who were eager to see the conflict. They never had any idea that the small man had any chance with the big man at all. Niniukalani, upon seeing Ukulii, began to twirl his war club, Kahikinaakala, and, when Ukulii was within striking distance, let it come down; but Ukulii jumped to the right and toward his opponent. The club missed its object and hit the sand, causing it to fly in all directions, and left a deep valley, hiding the two contestants from view for a time. Everybody believed that Ukulii was killed. After the cloud of sand had settled, the people saw that both of the contestants were still there. Ukulii then twirled his club and made a feint as though to strike. Niniukalani dodged, but before he could recover himself, Ukulii struck to the right which caught Niniukalani squarely, cutting him in two and killing him instantly. At this the crowd cried out: “One for the stranger and none for the son of the soil. Nobly done! No wonder this canoe dared to land on kapued ground, for it carries a noble warrior.”

Pohinakahonua, upon seeing the death of his mate, came up with his war club, Puaihanuole. He then issued a challenge, boasted and said: “He could not have been struck at; if he had he would have been in pieces. He shall not escape me.”

Ukulii, after his encounter, returned and boarded the canoe. When Pohinakahonua was seen to come out and issue his challenge, Kila asked: “Which one of you will go and meet Pohinakahonua?” Hohoiea answered: “I will.” Kila then instructed him what to do, and he jumped ashore to meet Pohinakahonua. As soon as he was within reach Pohinakahonua swung his club to the right, but Hohoiea was not there, as he had jumped to the left of Pohinakahonua. Hohoiea then swung his club from the ground upward, which cut Pohinakahonua in two from his hips to his head, killing him. At this the crowd gave another shout, saying: “The strangers have two, and the sons of the soil have none. This canoe carries some mighty men who have killed the warrior guards of the land.”

The result of the conflict was then carried to the king, Makalii. When Makalii heard it he arose and came down with his war club, Naulukohelewalewa. Makalii at this time was living in a land above the clouds. Makalii was a goodly man to look upon, closely resembling his older brother Moikeha. He was very powerful and brave, but not like Kila. As Makalii arrived on the kapued ground he began to swing his war club right and left. Upon seeing this Kila said to his men: “That is Makalii, the king. He is a very powerful man; none of you will be able to stand up against him. I will go and meet him. But before I go, I want you to remember this: if I shall be slain in this encounter, you have your course of escape, return by it to Kauai; but in case I live, then all will be well.” Kila then took up his war club, Kahihikolo, [135] and jumped ashore from the canoe, stepping on the rocks. At sight of Kila the crowd began to shout, admiring his beauty. Even the ants were heard to sing in his praise; the birds sang, the pebbles rumbled, the shells cried out, the grass withered, the smoke hung low, the rainbow appeared, the thunder was heard, the dead came to life, [136] the hairless dogs were seen and countless spirits of all kinds were seen. All these things mentioned were the people of Moikeha, who upon the arrival of Kila his son, caused themselves to be seen, in testimony of Kila’s high chief rank.

As Kila came within reach, Makalii brought down his war club, Naulukohelewalewa. The wind whistled by, the dust and sand arose in clouds, and a deep valley was seen where the club struck the ground. The two were hidden in the dust. The people ashore thought that Kila was killed, but after the cloud of dust and sand had settled they beheld Makalii and Kila still facing each other; because when Makalii swung his club on the right he brought it down on his left, so Kila had jumped toward the right side of Makalii and was saved from a terrible death. As they again faced each other, Kila twirled and brought down his club, Kahikikolo, the swirl of which felled Makalii. The reason of this escape was because Kila had in mind the warning given him by Moikeha his father, upon his departure from Kauai, in the following words: “You are about to go on your voyage. If you should fight with your uncle, don’t be thoughtless, else you will kill him.” This was the only reason why Makalii was saved; otherwise he would not have again seen the warming sun.

After the fight Kila returned to his canoe, while Makalii laid on the ground for a period of time sufficiently long to cook an oven (umu) of food; whereupon he arose and staggered to the house. While on his way to the house he congratulated himself on his miraculous escape. This was the last time he was seen on earth, for he returned up above [137] and died there.

The end of this contest saw Kila master of all the lands. The canoe was then beached and he went ashore. At this the shells [138] cried and asked: “What is the object of this voyage that has brought my lord here?” Kila replied: “It is a voyage in search of a chief.” The shells said: “There are no more chiefs; all are dead. We were deserted by your father in this place, without food and without fish, your father taking everything with him, and we have managed to just exist.”

Kila then continued on his way, meeting the former inhabitants of the land who wailed and cried to him, until he arrived at the palace of Moikeha, Moaulanuiakea. This was a very beautiful house, being very lofty and was thatched over with the feathers of birds. The battens were made from the bones of birds and the timbers were of kauila wood. It is said in the legend of Moikeha that the reason why Moikeha journeyed to Kauai and lived with Hooipoikamalanai was on account of his oath, never to return after the ridge-pole of his house, Moaulanuiakea, had sunk out of sight.

When Kila arrived at the house he looked it over and saw that it was indeed grand, majestic and lofty; but there were no people; the doors were fastened; the guards were dead and the place was overgrown with weeds. Kila, however, had with him the means of unfastening the doors and of bringing the guards to life as well as everything else. As he opened the gate, two of the guards came to life and wept over him. As he entered the roadway to the house, two more of the guards came to life. Arriving at the main door, two more guards came to life. As the door was opened another two came to life, and entering the house he found a guard in each room who all came and kneeled before him with tears in their eyes. Kila then lit the lamp which once belonged to Moikeha, walked to the couch and laid down.

While Kila was asleep Luukia came outside of the house, spying, watching this glow inside, its redness; and when she saw this red glow, tears fell from her eyes. She choked, and her heart quickened when she thought it was Moikeha. The night was far spent when the guards fell asleep. Luukia walked softly and carefully to where Kila was sleeping and looked at him; he resembled Moikeha, but was handsomer. She leaped on him crying, and embraced and kissed him. Kila awoke startled and looked at her.

Then they contended together until the break of day, when Luukia said: “I have no private; it was corded up by Olopana, and it has been sealed up from the time your father went away to this day.” Kila then said: “If you will consent it can be unfastened, and it can be closed again.” Luukia consented, and Kila unfastened [the cords]. Then they gathered up the fine strands of thought, indulging in love’s desire, and braided the lehua wreaths in dreamland, after which Luukia went her way. Later she became wholly Kila’s.

And that is the end of this legend.

HE KAAO NO KILA.

O Moikeha ka makuakane, o Hooipoikamalanai ka makuahine, o Kapaa i Kauai ka aina, oia kahi o Kila i hanau ai. Ekolu lakou o ka hanau ana, o Kila ka muli.

I mai o Kanepohihi: “Aohe a’u ai, o ka noho wale iho la no i anei. Hookahi no mea ai o ko makuakane o Makalii.”
