And on today’s Dark enigma well, I got an interesting request, one story from the Islands of Hawaii – now I’ll assume it’s because I have a terrible time pronouncing Native Hawaiian names and it’ll be hilarious, but you know I aim to please, so here’s your Hawaii story – one caveat, know I’m going to butcher the names, I’m trying so don’t yell at me!  So, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight.  The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Kewalu   that will be a single shot and every time I say world, that will be a double shot.  Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… so don your grass skirt, best and loudest Hawaiian shirt, coconut bras and brightest leis as we jump into today’s offering of The Bride From The Under World – A Legend of the Kalakaua Family

Ku, one of the most widely known gods of the Pacific Ocean, was thought by the Hawaiians to have dwelt as a mortal for some time on the western side of the island Hawaii. Here he chose a chiefess by the name of Hina as his wife, and to them were born two children. When he withdrew from his residence among men he left a son on the uplands of the district of North Kona, and a daughter on the seashore of the same district. The son, Hiku-i-kana-hele (Hiku of the forest), lived with his mother. The daughter, Kewalu, dwelt under the care of guardian chiefs and priests by a temple, the ruined walls of which are standing even to the present day.
