A HAWAIIAN FOLKLORE - EVENT ON THE ISLAND OF HAWAII - Part 2

***The second episode: THE REACTION

Then Ohia made a gasping sound.
Pele: "You sound surprised my dear beautiful Ohia."
Ohia: "Yes, I am."
Pele: "And why is that my dear Ohia."
Ohia: "By mentioning my name, reveals to me, who you truly are!"
Pele: "Then who am I, my dear Ohia?"
Ohia: "You are the fire goddess Pele, and that you are a cunning woman."
Pele: "Now that you know, who I am, then you should be terrified of me."
Ohia: "I am the mighty Ohia I fear nobody."
Pele: "Of course not, after all, you are a fearless warrior and soon to be a father of two hearts."
Ohia: "Yes, that of my beloved and my newborn."
Pele: "I keep forgetting of human limitations since I hardly involve my self with your kind, but I hope you Ohia, will have a changed heart."
Ohia: "Why should my heart be changed?"
Pele: "For your son's sake, that you will pick me as your newly beloved."
Ohia: "Nothing will separate me from whom I truly love with all my heart, so no Pele for I refuse you."
Pele: "Do not be so rash with your thoughts as you are with your actions to its vague outcome, my dear Ohia, for I merely want to paint a better picture of a happier life that you can have with me."
Ohia: "Nobody can have any happy life with evil by their side."
Pele: "Careful my Ohia, for there is need to be forever watchful in what you humans say to the gods and goddesses, for we are not alike."
Ohia: "You are not like your sister Hiiaka who provides sustenance for the people.
Pele: "But it is I who made the land for such sustenance to be, you humans dare to measure our worth as gods."
Ohia: "The people love Hiiaka for she is the mother of our harvest."
Pele: "You needed babble to me of her rights deemed hers by our father, yet, if the people love her, why didn't your village honor her with a temple, instead, your village honored me with a temple, so you lied to me for your village love me more than my sister, Hiiaka."
Ohia: "I did not lie to you, but you are misled for the people do not love you as the same as towards your sister Hiiaka, but they fear you greatly instead, that is why the village fathers built the temple for your glory out of fear that at any whimsical moment you will destroy our village."
Pele: "Why would the gods be belittled and seen as bearing human frailties, it is a foolish notion for the gods to be so precarious with their abilities, but it is humans who are so foolhardy that they boast such as you have boasted of the gods so willingly and openly towards me shows you are fearless but you forget the three loves of your life."
Ohia: "Three you say, you meant my father-in-law, chief of our village, is that of your meaning?"
Pele: "No!"
Pele turns to the awe-struck face of Ohia.
