Maui Calls on Pele, the Goddess of Fire
“Maui.” The voice came through the clouds first, then the smoky dark gray silhouetted face of a woman appeared above him as the valley grew darker by the second.
Maui’s voice was strangely calm; he spoke in a normal volume, but his voice was deep and methodical.
“Pele.”
The underside of the dark clouds above flickered red/orange, the same color as Maui’s eyes.

Colossal This is the kind of book many authors set out to write but few ever achieve its scale. While not fast-paced, it is an engrossing tale the establishes a world worth departing yours for. I particularly appreciated Blumberg’s elevation of less- ...more |

“Eleu stood up straight and turned to face them. “If promises are made, maybe we can come to an agreement.”
Molawa nodded seriously. “Promises?”
Kilikina thought for a moment. “Okay. What kind of promises are you thinking of?”
Eleu hopped up on the largish boulder that sat beside him and plopped down. He solemnly put one hand up in the air and spoke slowly and seriously.
“One. You must promise not to fall in love with me.”
Kilikina started to giggle then put her hand over her mouth. “He’s serious.”
Molawa said, “I had to promise the same thing.”

“When the islands were taken over, the princess,
Ka’iulani, who had been tricked out of her kingdom cried out to Aloha Ke Akua.” The dots danced into the figure of a young woman, broken-hearted, sobbing on the floor beside her bed.
“Aloha Ke Akua’s heart was torn apart by what he saw, so in one last act he touched the island of O’ahu.” The dots formed a giant hand and finger that touched the shape of the island.
“And created Hunaia Awāwa. A sanctuary. The resting place of the resting place.”

“WHY YOU DOZING BRUH?!” Eleu yelled. He lifted the pan of sauce from the fire and brought it over to a large boulder, selected a few pieces of raw meat and laid them carefully in the sauce.
“Because.” Molawa responded, without opening his eyes. “I had to walk here. And my nap was interrupted…” his voice drifted off again.
“By what? Your nap was interrupted by WHAT?” Eleu demanded impatiently. He was on edge: he didn’t like that the place he’d always known as safe was about to be attacked by a horde of vile creatures.
Molawa opened one eye and squinted it at Eleu. “Quiet. My nap was interrupted by quiet. You know I can’t sleep if you’re not snoring in the other room, blocking out the silence.”

“Molawa jumped back, frightened. He stared at the ground. “I don’t smell the blood though, bruh. Is my smeller broken?” He gingerly felt his nose. “It feels not broken to me. Check it?”
Eleu stepped towards Molawa and grabbed at his nose. “Definitely broke. Get it fixed. Even though it’s broke, you smell the blood.”
Molawa’s eyes widened, the power of suggestion was too much. “No, no, no, you’re right! I smell so much blood. What are we bruh, sharks?”
Eleu shrugged. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we had some shark DNA in us. I don’t know the names of all of my ancestors. One coulda been a shark.”
Molawa nodded furiously. “Truth. I don’t know all my ancestors either. And I like to eat fish. It makes too much sense. Bruh. Thank you.”
Eleu nodded sincerely. Then turned his attention back to the door. “Hey, you giants. We know you’re in there. Come on out, you stupids. And don’t try anything. There are two sharks out here.”

“Whack! Came the loud sound of a blade hitting a butcher’s block from around the corner in the kitchen.
“Night, bruh!” Eleu said cheerily to the now quite dead fish.”

“Almost” Eleu said, his fingers moving incredibly fast and pieces of chicken flying everywhere. “Aaaaaand, aaaaand, aaaaand…
Pau!” He proudly held up a perfectly carved plate full of raw chicken. “Eh, Molawa, how do you like your chicken?” he asked, winking at Kaimana and Kilikina.
“Wit’ no feathers, bruh!” Molawa said loudly. The two of them burst into infectious laughter that Kaimana and Kilikina couldn’t help but join them in.”
