Aloha e ka poʻe heluhelu, a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi i 31 Nā Po Makahiki Makaʻu! ʻO 7 ʻOkakopa! He pule holoʻokoʻa mākou i ka mahina o ʻOkakopa. No ko ka Emerald Isle ka moʻolelo o kēia pō. Kāhea ʻia Uwē o ka Banshee.

Uē o ka Banshee i haʻi hou ʻia e Waylon Jordan

ʻO Caitlin a me kona kaikuahine ʻo Maeve e pāʻani nei i ke kula i ka lā holoʻokoʻa. Ua pili loa lākou no nā kaikuahine a hiki ke hilinaʻi pinepine ʻia e ʻike i ke kolohe ke waiho ʻia i kā lākou iho ponoʻī. I kēia lā, ke pāʻani nei lākou i ka ʻili a ʻimi i ka wā e iho ana ka lā i ka lani.

Ua ʻike ʻo Caitlin e peʻe ana ʻo Maeve i ka mauʻu lōʻihi a ua iho ʻo ia i kona mau kuli e kolo ma hope ona. He ʻumi wale nō ʻo Maeve a hauʻoli ʻo Caitlin i ka loaʻa ʻana iā ia ka manawa e makaʻu ai i kāna kaikamahine ʻōpio.

Mai ke kihi o kona maka, ʻike maka ʻo Caitlin i ka neʻe ʻana i ka mauʻu lōʻihi. Ala aʻe ʻo ia i luna e ʻike i ka mea ma laila a paʻa i ka wā i ʻike aku ai ʻo ia i kahi Crone kahiko i kahi ʻahuʻule kapule i hoholo lohi i ke kula i kahi mamao. ʻO ia ka manawa i lohe ai ʻo ia i ke kani ʻene iki o ke kani mai ka ʻaoʻao o ka wahine ʻaʻahu.

E kuʻi ana ka puʻuwai o Caitlin.  ʻO ia paha ka banshee?

Noho ʻo ia ma laila me ka hiki ʻole ke neʻe i ka nānā ʻana i ka luahine ke hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ʻike i ke kani ʻana o ka leo a ke hele nei ka Crone i ke ala o kona kaikuahine a me ia iho.

Ke ʻike nei i kona mau wāwae a me kona leo i ka manawa hoʻokahi, ua kupu ʻo Caitlin mai ka mauʻu.

“Maeve! Maeve, holo i ka home iā mam! E hele mai ana ka banshee i kēia ala, a ua maikaʻi ʻole ʻo ia! ”

ʻAʻole i kū ʻo Maeve e nīnau, no ka mea, ua ʻike ʻo ia mai ka leo o kona kaikuahine ua ʻōlelo ʻoiaʻiʻo. Ua hemo ke kaikaina e like me ka ʻāʻī o ka hahau e hele ana i ka home.

ʻAʻole mamao ʻo Caitlin ma hope o kona kaikuahine a nānā ʻo ia i ke kaikamahine ʻōpio e iho i loko o ka pā uea i mua. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke kōkua iā ia iho, ua nānā ʻo Caitlin ma luna o kona poʻohiwi a ʻuwā ke ʻike ʻo ia i ka Crone e neʻe wikiwiki aʻe ana ma hope ona a ʻike ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kani ʻana o ke kaniʻuhū.

Ma hope o kona hōʻea ʻana i ka pā iā ia iho, lele ʻo Caitlin i ka wā i lilo ai ke kaniʻuhū i ka ʻuwā e kōwili ai ke koko! Ua ʻike ʻo Caitlin i kahi haʻalulu e iho i kāna kuamoʻo ʻoiai ʻo ia e huki ana i ka hope o kāna lole.

Ua loaʻa ʻo ia i ka uea paʻa a ʻoiai ʻo ia e ʻaumeʻa nei e hoʻokuʻu iā ia iho ua kū koke kahi aka iā ia. Kū ka crone ma laila e nānā iā ia no kekahi manawa lōʻihi. Pā maila kona lauoho keʻokeʻo i ka makani a me kona ʻili hina e like me ka haʻihaʻi ʻana i kona alo i ka hāmama ʻana o kona waha. Kuhi ka banshee i ka home o Caitlin a ʻuā nui loa ke kaikamahine ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole ia e lohe hou.

Ua haehae ʻo Caitlin i ka uea barbed a holo i ka home me ka wikiwiki e like me kona hiki. I ka wā i ʻike aku ai ka hale, ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka puka e hāmama ana a kali iā ia a aneane ʻo ia e hina i kona holo ʻana i ka paepae a pā i ka puka ma hope ona.

ʻO ia ka manawa i ʻike ai ʻo ia i kahi hiʻohiʻona e noho pū me ia i ke koena o kona ola. Kū ʻo Maeve ma ka puka o ka lumi kuke me ka waimaka, a ma ʻō aku o kāna kaikuahine pēpē, ua make ko lākou makuahine ma ka papahele ...

I kēia manawa, he moʻolelo kēlā e hoʻomanaʻo. Inā ʻoe mai kahi ʻohana ʻIrika ikaika a lohe i kahi uē e kani ana i ka pō, hoʻomākaukau ʻoe iā ʻoe iho, no ka mea e pili ana ka make i ka ululate o ka Banshee.

E hui hou me mākou i ke ahiahi ʻapōpō no kahi moʻolelo weliweli hou, a inā ua hala ʻoe i ka moʻolelo o ka pō nei Bus maanei!
