[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 1183549, member: 1125"] It is before dawn when you are awoken and summoned to the Sacred Malae, the Sacred ground where Makea Takanui, the Wise One Lord Kamasese and many of the other priests and other religious functionaries are gathered chanting low like the drone of bees. In the lingering darkness you can see the shadow of their bodies as the sway and also that of other forms gathered around the edges of the malae. Some you guess are the carved tiki effages standing guard with bulging eyes and lolling tongues, but in the flickering fire light you can not help but think that some of those figures move and chatter with inhuman voices. Upon the Tuahu at the top end of the malae a pig has been slain, no doubt both as sacrifice and to allow the priests to read the entrails and blood of the creature. Beside the tuahu-altar one of the priests is bent down over a fire stick whilst another feeds straw and sawdust into the rising flame. As each of you arrives you are greated by the Hautupu and directed to remove your clothing entering the sacred manse without the vestiges of the mundane world. It is the Wise One Lord Kamasese and Chief Makea Takanui that greet you once you move forward, standing before you and each holding a branch of the Kavai tree. "[I]the task you are to undertake is not an easy one[/I]" Chief Makea Takanui addresses you "[I]that you are here shows courage and responsibility. Take what you require, we shall provide. Tell me Will you carry on now to Kahe Beach and the Wild Place of Waihoro cove?[/I]" He pauses a while allowing each of you to answer ... To those who answer 'yes' he smiles as he steps back and with the Menehune elder begins to call a blessing upon you using the leaves of the Kavai to sprinkle blessed water over you as they invoke the protection and aid of the ancestors spirits....
